PART I

Item 1. Business.

The Company and its Business Strategy

Performance Food Group, a Tennessee corporation, was founded in 1987 through the combination of various foodservice businesses and has grown internally through increased sales to existing and new customers and through acquisitions of existing businesses. Performance Food Group is the nation’s third largest broadline foodservice distributor based on 2007 net sales. We market and distribute over 68,000 national and proprietary brand food and non-food products to over 41,000 customers. Our extensive product line and distribution system allow us to service both of the major customer types in the foodservice or “food-away-from-home” industry: “street” foodservice customers, which include independent restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, schools, healthcare facilities and other institutional customers, and multi-unit, or “chain,” customers, which include regional and national casual and family dining, quick-service restaurants and other institutional customers.

On January 18, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with VISTAR Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“VISTAR”) and Panda Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VISTAR. VISTAR is a food distributor specializing in the areas of Italian, pizza, vending, office coffee, concessions, fundraising and theater markets, controlled by private investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group with a minority interest held by a private investment fund affiliated with Wellspring Capital Management LLC.

At the effective time of the merger, each of our outstanding shares of common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $34.50 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding stock option and stock appreciation right, whether vested or unvested, shall become fully vested and exercisable and all restricted shares under our equity plans shall become fully vested. Each holder of an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right as of the effective time shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation of such stock option or stock appreciation right an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the difference between the $34.50 per share consideration and the applicable exercise price of such stock option or grant price of such stock appreciation right and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such stock option or the number of shares with respect to which such stock appreciation right was granted, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements and any appreciation cap set forth in such stock appreciation right.

3

Consummation of the merger is subject to various closing conditions, including approval of the merger agreement by our shareholders, expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and other customary closing conditions. We expect to close the transaction during the second quarter of 2008.

On June 28, 2005, we completed the sale of all our stock in the subsidiaries that formerly comprised our fresh-cut segment to Chiquita Brands International, Inc.; accordingly, all amounts pertaining to our former fresh-cut segment are accounted for as a discontinued operation. Prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform with current year presentation for continuing operations. All amounts included within this Form 10-K, unless otherwise noted, refer only to our continuing operations.

We service our customers through two operating segments. Note 19 to the consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-K presents financial information for these segments.

Broadline

Our Broadline distribution segment markets and distributes more than 65,000 national and proprietary brand food and non-food products to more than 41,000 customers, including street customers, such as independent restaurants, and certain corporate-owned and franchisee locations of chains such as Burger King, Church’s, Compass, Popeye’s, Subway and Zaxby’s. In the Broadline distribution segment, we determine our product mix, distribution routes and delivery schedules to accommodate the needs of a large number of customers whose individual purchases vary in size. Broadline distribution customers are generally located within 250 miles of one of our 19 Broadline distribution facilities, which serve customers in the Eastern, Midwestern, Northeastern, Southern and Southeastern United States.

Customized

Our Customized distribution segment focuses on serving casual and family dining chain restaurants such as Cracker Barrel Old Country Store, Logan’s, Outback Steakhouse, Ruby Tuesday, T.G.I. Friday’s and O’Charley’s. We believe that these customers generally prefer a centralized point of contact that facilitates item and menu changes, tailored distribution routing and customer service. We generally can service these customers more efficiently than our Broadline distribution customers because we warehouse only those stock keeping units, or SKUs, specific to our Customized customers, and we make larger, more consistent deliveries over a much broader geography. We have eight Customized distribution facilities located nationwide. Customized services 15 restaurant chains nationwide and three restaurant chains internationally.

Growth Strategies

Our business strategy is to grow our foodservice distribution businesses through both internal growth and acquisitions and to improve our operating profit margin through various key initiatives described below. We believe that we have the resources and competitive advantages to maintain our strong internal growth and that we are well positioned to take advantage of any future consolidation occurring in our industry.

Our key growth strategies are as follows:

Increase sales to street customers. Within our Broadline segment, we are focusing on increasing sales to street customers, such as independent restaurants, which typically utilize more of our proprietary brands and value-added services. Sales to these customers typically generate higher operating margins than sales to our chain customers. We are focusing on increasing our penetration of the street customer base by leveraging our broad range of products and value-added services and by continuing to both increase our street sales force and invest in enhancing the quality of our sales force through improvements in our hiring and training efforts and in our utilization of technology. Our training program and sales compensation systems are designed to encourage our sales force to grow sales to new and existing street customers. We are also focused on hiring more outside sales representatives to service independent restaurants and remain vigilant in our hiring, training and retention practices. We have implemented a common assessment tool to evaluate prospective sales candidates and a training program staffed by regional sales associates and training managers at each location.

Improve category management. In an effort to enhance our category management, we have completed a transfer to a common item platform and we utilize our data warehouse to analyze item and vendor movement, which allows us to enhance coordination of our buying and marketing activities. In addition, we are continuing to invest in other technologies to provide our sales force with better information to assist our Broadline customers and to grow sales.

We are also focused on increasing sales of our proprietary brands and believe that our proprietary brands, which include AFFLAB, Bay Winds, Brilliance, Empire’s Treasure, First Mark, Guest House, Heritage Ovens, PFG Custom Meats, Pocahontas, Raffinato, Ridgecrest Culinary, Silver Source, Village Garden and West Creek, offer customers greater value than national brands. We believe that as we continue to grow our scale of operations and sales of our proprietary brands,

4

these sales can generate higher margins than comparable national brands. We seek to increase our sales of proprietary brands through our sales force training program and sales compensation systems.

Increase Broadline sales to existing customers and within existing markets. We seek to become a principal supplier for more of our Broadline distribution customers and to increase sales per delivery to those customers. To accomplish this, we focus on selling our customers “center-of-the-plate” products like meat, seafood, poultry, and pork products. We believe that providing consistent, high-quality, center-of-the-plate items to our customers helps us gain a greater share of our customers’ business. We believe that a higher penetration of our existing Broadline customers and markets will allow us to strengthen our relationships with these customers and to realize economies of scale driven by greater utilization of our existing distribution infrastructure.

We believe that we can increase our penetration of the Broadline customer base through focused sales efforts that leverage our distribution infrastructure, quality products and value-added services. Value-added services include assisting foodservice customers to control costs through, among other means, increased computer communications, more efficient deliveries and consolidation of suppliers. We believe that the typical Broadline customer in our markets uses one or two principal suppliers for the majority of its foodservice needs but also relies upon a limited number of secondary broadline suppliers and specialty food suppliers. We believe those customers within our existing markets for which we are not the principal supplier represent an additional market opportunity for us.

Grow our Customized segment with existing and selected new customers. We seek to strengthen our existing Customized distribution relationships by continuing to provide on-time delivery, complete orders, perishable food-handling expertise, clean, safe facilities and equipment, and electronic data transfers of restaurant orders, inventory information and invoices. A key initiative is expanding existing distribution centers and building additional centers to provide capacity for new customers and to reduce the miles driven to service existing customers. We seek to selectively add new customers within the Customized distribution segment. We believe potential customers include new or growing restaurant chains that have yet to establish a relationship with a customized foodservice distributor, as well as customers that are dissatisfied with their existing distributor relationships and large chains that have traditionally relied on in-house distribution networks.

Improve operating efficiencies through systems and technology. We seek to continually increase our operating efficiencies and competitive advantage by investing in training and technology-related initiatives to provide increased productivity and advanced customer services. These initiatives include our Foodstar^® software, which handles order and procurement management throughout our Broadline distribution centers. Most of our Customized segment customers use our Internet-based ordering system, PFG-Connection, to place orders, make product inquiries and view purchase histories. Additionally, PFG-Connection provides customers with a Web-based e-catalog for viewing pictures of table-top items, small wares and disposables. Our automated warehouse management system uses radio-frequency barcode scanning for inventory put-away and selection and computerized truck routing systems. In addition, we have an on-line ordering system that provides customers real-time access to order placement, product information, inventory levels and their purchasing histories. We have implemented standard productivity systems and measurement tools which allow us to improve our selection rates and accuracy while reducing our overall warehouse costs as a percentage of sales. We have deployed a GPS-based computer system for our truck fleet that we believe will improve productivity and improve our service levels. We also have implemented a centralized inbound logistics system that optimizes consolidated deliveries from our suppliers. We are currently implementing voice directed picking technology in our warehouses that should reduce mis-picks and truck shorts, thus further increasing delivery accuracy and customer satisfaction.

Actively pursue strategic acquisitions. Since our founding, we have supplemented our internal growth through selective, strategic acquisitions. We believe that the consolidation trends in the foodservice distribution industry will continue to present acquisition opportunities for us, and we intend to target acquisitions both in geographic markets that we already serve, which we refer to as fold-in acquisitions, as well as in new markets. We believe that fold-in acquisitions can allow us to increase the efficiency of our operations by leveraging our fixed costs and driving more sales through our existing facilities. Acquisitions in new markets expand our geographic reach into markets we do not currently serve and can allow us to leverage fixed costs.

Customers and Marketing

We have two closely related foodservice distribution business segments — Broadline and Customized. Our Broadline segment primarily services two types of customers — street customers and chain customers. Our Customized segment distributes to casual and family dining chain customers. We believe that a foodservice customer selects a distributor based on timely and accurate delivery of orders, consistent product quality, value-added services and price. In addition, we believe that some of our larger street and chain customers gain operational efficiencies by dealing with one, or a limited number of, foodservice distributors.

Street Customers

Our Broadline segment services our street customers, which include independent restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, schools, healthcare facilities and other institutional customers. We seek to increase our sales to street customers because, despite the generally higher selling and delivery costs that we incur in servicing these customers, street customers typically utilize more of our proprietary brands and value-added services. Sales to street customers are typically at higher price points than sales to chain customers due to the higher costs involved in those sales. As of December 29, 2007, our Broadline segment supported sales to street customers with over 1,100 sales and marketing representatives and product specialists. Our sales representatives service customers in person, by telephone and through the Internet, accepting and processing orders, reviewing account balances, disseminating new product information and providing business assistance and advice where appropriate. Sales representatives are generally compensated through a combination of salary and commission based on factors relating to tenure, profitability and collections. These representatives typically use laptop computers to assist customers by entering orders, checking product availability and pricing and developing menu-planning ideas on a real-time basis.

Chain Customers

Both our Broadline and Customized segments service chain customers. Our principal chain customers are franchisees and corporate-owned units of casual and family dining and quick-service restaurants. Our Broadline segment customers include numerous locations of Burger King, Church’s, KFC, Popeye’s, Subway and Zaxby’s quick-service restaurants, as well as Compass. Our Customized segment customers include casual and family dining restaurant concepts, such as Carrabba’s Italian Grill, Cracker Barrel, Logan’s, O’Charley’s, Outback Steakhouse, Ruby Tuesday and T.G.I. Friday’s. Our sales programs to chain customers are tailored to the individual customer and include a more specialized product offering than the sales programs to our street customers. Sales to chain customers are typically higher volume, lower gross margin sales, which require fewer, but larger deliveries than those to street customers. These programs offer operational and cost efficiencies for both the customer and us, which can help compensate for the lower gross margins. Dedicated account representatives are responsible for managing the overall chain customer relationship, including ensuring complete order fulfillment and customer satisfaction. Members of senior management assist in identifying potential new chain customers and managing long-term account relationships. Two of our chain customers, Outback Steakhouse, Inc. (OSI) and CRBL Group, Inc. (CRBL), account for a significant portion of our consolidated net sales. Net sales to OSI accounted for 13% of our consolidated net sales for each of 2007, 2006 and 2005. Net sales to CRBL accounted for 8% of our consolidated net sales for 2007 and 11% of our consolidated net sales for both 2006 and 2005. The 2006 and 2005 periods included sales to Logan’s before it was divested by CRBL in December 2006. No other chain customer accounted for more than 8% of our consolidated net sales in 2007, 2006 or 2005.

Products and Services

We distribute more than 68,000 national and proprietary brand food and non-food products to over 41,000 customers. These products include a broad selection of center-of-the-plate entrées, canned and dry groceries, frozen foods, refrigerated and dairy products, paper products and cleaning supplies, produce, restaurant equipment and other supplies. We also provide our customers with value-added services in the normal course of providing full-service distributor services.

Proprietary brands

We offer our customers an extensive line of products under our proprietary brands, including AFFLAB, Bay Winds, Brilliance, Empire’s Treasure, First Mark, Guest House, Heritage Ovens, PFG Custom Meats, Pocahontas, Raffinato, Ridgecrest Culinary, Silver Source, Village Garden and West Creek. The Pocahontas brand name has been recognized in the food industry for over 100 years. Products offered under our proprietary brands include canned and dry groceries, tabletop sauces, meat, baked goods, shortenings and oils, among others. In 2006, we introduced PFG-procured and branded fresh produce and we will continue to enhance our branded product offering based on customer preferences and data analysis using our data warehouse. Our proprietary brands enable us to offer customers an alternative to comparable national brands across a wide range of products and price points. For example, the Raffinato brand consists of a line of premium pastas, cheeses, tomato products, sauces and oils tailored for the Italian foods

market, while our Empire’s Treasure brand consists of high-quality frozen seafood. We seek to increase the sales of our proprietary brands, as they can provide higher margins than comparable national brand products. We also believe that sales of our proprietary brands can help to promote customer loyalty.

National brands

We offer our customers a broad selection of national brand products. We believe that these brands are attractive to chain, street and other customers seeking recognized national brands throughout their operations. We believe that distributing national brands has strengthened our relationships with many national suppliers who provide us with important sales and marketing support. These sales complement sales of our proprietary brand products.

Value-added services

As part of developing and strengthening our customer relationships, we provide some of our customers with value-added services including assistance in new product introductions, inventory management and improving efficiency. As described below, we also provide procurement and merchandising services to approximately 350 independent foodservice distributor facilities and approximately 500 independent paper and janitorial supply distributor facilities, as well as to our own distribution network. These procurement and merchandising services include negotiating vendor supply agreements and providing quality assurance services related to our proprietary and national brand products.

The following table sets forth the percentage of our consolidated net sales by product and service category in 2007, 2006 and 2005:

	Percentage of Net Sales
	2007			2006			2005

Information Systems

In our Broadline segment, 17 of our 19 distribution operations currently manage the ordering, receiving, procurement, warehousing and delivery of products through FoodStar®, our supply-chain management software. FoodStar® enables us to manage our core supply chain processes including order-to-cash, procure-to-pay, and receiving-to-shipment. This software also contains financial modules that assist in the timely and accurate financial reporting by our subsidiaries to our corporate headquarters. Through implementation of standardized product and vendor identifiers, we have significantly improved our ability to manage our product categories and leverage our purchasing volume across our distribution network.

Sales & Margin Management. Our sales force is equipped with mobile, real-time, customer order-processing software that enables our sales representatives to maximize sales and customer service. In addition, we provide our customers with an internet-based ordering system that enables on-demand customer access to order placement, product information, inventory levels and purchasing histories twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week. We continue to enhance and upgrade these sales capabilities to address the ever-changing demands and needs of our customers. Along with this, we have implemented industry leading pricing software to improve pricing, segmentation and analysis.

Warehouse Management. Our automated warehouse management system, one of our flagship systems, uses wireless radio-frequency barcode scanning for inventory put-away, selection and computerized truck routing systems. This technology has greatly enhanced productivity by reducing errors in inventory put-away and selection. To complement this, we have implemented standard productivity systems and activity-based measurement tools, which enable us to track employee productivity and improve our selection rates and accuracy, while reducing our overall warehouse costs as a percentage of sales. We are implementing voice directed picking technology in our warehouses to enable our warehouse workers to achieve higher levels of productivity and accuracy while reducing operational costs.

Logistics. All of our Broadline distribution locations now use a centralized enterprise truck-routing solution. For inbound freight we use a centralized inbound logistics system that optimizes consolidated deliveries from our suppliers. We have also deployed a GPS-based on board computer system for our truck fleet that optimizes the distribution routes traveled by our trucks by reducing excess mileage, optimizing fuel consumption, providing point in time tracking of trucks, monitoring and managing service levels and improving the timeliness of customer deliveries. We are in the process of deploying fleet management solutions that we believe will improve overall fleet maintenance, efficiency and safety.

Finance & HR. In our Corporate segment, we use a financial systems suite that includes general ledger, accounts payable and fixed asset modules. In addition, we utilize centralized software for financial consolidations. We are currently deploying enterprise document management and imaging capabilities to improve operational efficiencies, reduce document storage costs and increase overall service levels. We are also in the process of deploying new third party financial, procurement and business intelligence solutions to enable the centralization of financial services and rebate income tracking. We expect that this strategic initiative will centralize and streamline key financial services, create a shared services organization, facilitate superior financial controls and streamlined financial consolidations, optimize the strategic procurement function to drive lower cost of goods sold and enable timelier financial reporting and analysis. In the human resources area, we use a common human resources suite, including human capital management, benefits and payroll modules in our Broadline, Customized and Corporate segments. We are focusing on providing performance management, associate learning management and training solutions that empower our associates and drive operational excellence.

Business Intelligence. We continue to focus on business intelligence through centralized data warehousing and reporting technologies. We are dedicated to deploying enterprise solutions which support operational excellence, enable consolidated access to critical data, provide visibility and management of enterprise key performance indicators and provide standardized metrics and measurements across the enterprise.

Infrastructure. Additionally, we have taken extensive steps to ensure the availability of our systems for our Broadline customers, associates and suppliers. We maintain a separate datacenter in a suburb of Dallas, TX, that hosts our backup systems for our mission critical applications that are currently housed in our corporate location datacenter. We continually evaluate our systems-related disaster recovery needs and adjust our plans accordingly. Our wide area network is engineered to take maximum advantage of this high availability environment, allowing everyone to connect, based on role, regardless of location, without business interruption. Additionally, we have built a high-availability, fully redundant application environment to support our most critical systems and to maintain continuous availability for our operations through application hardware, network, server and telecommunications configurations and fail-over technologies.

In our Customized segment, we use a similar supply-chain management software platform managed and located at our Customized headquarters in Lebanon, Tennessee. This software has been tailored to manage large national accounts, multiple warehouses and centralized purchasing, payables and receivables. Our Customized segment uses a nationally recognized purchasing system for product procurement. This segment also has a warehouse management system that utilizes barcode technology to improve inventory receiving, put-away, replenishment and warehouse tracking. Voice assisted customer order selection technology improves order selection accuracy and productivity. Our Customized segment also uses a truck-routing system that determines the most efficient method of delivery for our nationwide delivery system.

Most of our Customized segment customers use our internet-based ordering system, PFG-Connection, to place orders, make product inquiries and view purchase history. A real-time, customer order-processing system allows our customers and customer service representatives to review and correct orders online. This software has allowed our customers to reduce costs through improved order accuracy.

With the high service levels demanded by the foodservice industry, business continuity is of extreme importance. The Customized segment computer systems are completely redundant, including hardware, software, and telecommunications. Business transactions are replicated using state-of-the-art, high availability software. In the event of systems failure or a natural disaster, the Customized segment can quickly recover and continue operations.

Suppliers and Purchasing

Our Broadline and Customized segments obtain products from large national and regional food manufacturers, consumer products companies, meat processors and produce shippers, as well as from local suppliers, food brokers and merchandisers. We seek to enhance our purchasing power through volume purchasing. Although each of our subsidiaries are generally responsible for placing its own orders and can select the products that appeal to its own customers, we encourage each subsidiary to participate in company-wide purchasing programs, which enable it to take advantage of our consolidated purchasing power. We were not dependent on a single source for any significant item and no third-party supplier represented more than 3% of our total product purchases during 2007.

8

Our wholly owned subsidiary known as Progressive Group Alliance (formerly Pocahontas Foods, USA) selects foodservice products for our Brilliance, Colonial Tradition, Healthy USA, Pocahontas, Premium Recipe and Raffinato brands and markets these brands, as well as nationally branded foodservice products, through our own distribution operations to approximately 350 independent foodservice distributor facilities nationwide. For our services, we receive marketing fees paid by suppliers. Approximately 3,300 of the products sold through Progressive Group Alliance are sold under our proprietary brands. Approximately 450 suppliers, located throughout the United States, supply products through the Progressive Group Alliance distribution network. Because Progressive Group Alliance negotiates purchase agreements on behalf of its independent distributors as a group, the distributors that utilize Progressive Group Alliance’s procurement and merchandising group can enhance their purchasing power.

Operations

Our subsidiaries have certain autonomy in their operations, subject to overall corporate management controls and guidance. Our corporate management provides centralized direction in the areas of strategic planning, category management, operations management, sales management, general and financial management, human resources and information systems strategy and development. Although individual marketing efforts are undertaken at the subsidiary level, our name recognition in the foodservice business is based on both the trade names of our individual subsidiaries and the Performance Food Group name. Each subsidiary has primary responsibility for its own human resources, governmental compliance programs, accounting, billing and collections. Financial information reported by our subsidiaries is consolidated and reviewed by our corporate management.

Distribution operations are conducted from 19 Broadline and eight Customized distribution centers. Our Broadline distribution centers are located in Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massachusetts, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, Tennessee, Texas and Virginia. Our Broadline customers are generally located no more than 250 miles from one of our Broadline distribution facilities. Our eight Customized distribution centers are located in California, Florida, Indiana, Maryland, New Jersey, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas. Our Customized segment distributes to customer locations nationwide and internationally. For all of our distribution operations, customer orders are assembled in our distribution facilities and then sorted, placed on pallets, and loaded onto trucks and trailers in delivery sequence. Deliveries are generally made in large tractor-trailers that we usually lease. We use a computer system to design efficient route sequences for the delivery of our products.

Competition

The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive. We compete with numerous smaller distributors on a local level, as well as with a limited number of national foodservice distributors. Certain of these distributors have greater financial and other resources than we do. Bidding for contracts or arrangements with customers, particularly chain and other large customers, is highly competitive and distributors may market their services to a particular customer over a long period of time before they are invited to bid. We believe that most purchasing decisions in the foodservice business are based on the distributor’s ability to completely and accurately fill orders, provide timely deliveries and the quality and price of the product.

Regulation

Our operations are subject to regulation by state and local health departments, the U.S. Department of Agriculture and the Food and Drug Administration, which generally impose standards for product quality and sanitation and are responsible for the administration of recent bioterrorism legislation. Our seafood operations are also specifically regulated by federal and state laws, including those administered by the National Marine Fisheries Service, established for the preservation of certain species of marine life, including fish and shellfish. State and/or federal authorities generally inspect our facilities at least annually. In addition, we are subject to regulation by the Environmental Protection Agency with respect to the disposal of wastewater and the handling of chemicals used in cleaning.

The Federal Perishable Agricultural Commodities Act, which specifies standards for the sale, shipment, inspection and rejection of agricultural products, governs our relationships with our fresh food suppliers with respect to the grading and commercial acceptance of product shipments. We are also subject to regulation by state authorities for the accuracy of our weighing and measuring devices.

Some of our distribution facilities have underground and aboveground storage tanks for diesel fuel and other petroleum products that are subject to laws regulating such storage tanks. These laws have not had a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

The Surface Transportation Board and the Federal Highway Administration regulate our trucking operations. In addition, interstate motor carrier operations are subject to safety requirements prescribed by the U.S. Department of Transportation and other relevant federal and state agencies. Such matters as weight and dimension of equipment are also subject to federal and state regulations. We believe that we are in substantial compliance with applicable regulatory requirements relating to our motor carrier operations. Failure to comply with the applicable motor carrier regulations could result in substantial fines or revocation of our operating permits.

Intellectual Property

Except for the Pocahontas® trade name, we do not own or have the right to use any patent, trademark, trade name, license, franchise or concession, the loss of which would have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Employees

As of December 29, 2007, we had approximately 7,200 full-time employees, including approximately 3,000 in management, administration and marketing and sales, with the remainder in operations. As of December 29, 2007, union and collective bargaining units represented about 470 of our employees. We have entered into seven collective bargaining and similar agreements with respect to our unionized employees. Our agreements with our union employees expire at various times from March 2008 to July 2012.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

Foodservice distribution is a low-margin business and may be sensitive to economic conditions. We operate in the foodservice distribution industry, which is characterized by a high volume of sales with relatively low profit margins. Certain of our sales are at prices that are based on product cost plus a percentage markup. As a result, our results of operations may be negatively impacted when the price of food goes down, even though our percentage markup may remain constant. Certain of our sales are on a fixed fee-per-case basis. Therefore, in an inflationary environment, our gross profit margins may be negatively affected even though our gross revenues are positively impacted. In addition, our results of operations may be negatively impacted by product cost increases that we may not be able to pass on to our customers. The foodservice industry may also be sensitive to national and regional economic conditions, and the demand for our foodservice products has been adversely affected from time to time by economic downturns. In addition, our operating results are particularly sensitive to, and may be materially adversely impacted by, difficulties with the collectibility of accounts receivable, inventory control, price pressures, severe weather conditions and increases in wages or other labor costs, energy costs and fuel or other transportation-related costs. One or more of these events could adversely affect our future operating results. In addition, although we have sought to limit the impact of rising fuel prices on our costs by locking in the cost at which we purchase some of our fuel and imposing fuel surcharges on customers, increases in fuel prices may adversely affect our results of operations. Increased fuel costs also can have a negative impact on our results of operations as these rising costs can negatively impact consumer confidence and discretionary spending and thus reduce the frequency and amount spent by consumers for food-away-from-home.

We rely on major customers. We derive a substantial portion of our net sales from customers within the restaurant industry, particularly certain chain customers. Net sales to OSI accounted for approximately 13% of our consolidated net sales for each of 2007, 2006 and 2005. Net sales to CRBL accounted for 8% of our consolidated net sales in 2007 and 11% in 2006 and 2005. The 2006 and 2005 periods included sales to Logan’s before it was divested by CRBL in December 2006. Sales to these customers by our Customized segment generally have lower operating margins than sales to customers in other areas of our business. We have agreements with certain of our customers to purchase specified amounts of goods from us and the prices paid by them may depend on the actual level of their purchases. Some of these agreements may be terminated by the customer with an agreed-upon notice to us, which is typically less than 180 days; however, certain of these agreements may not be terminated by either party except for a material breach by the other party. We cannot always guarantee the level of future purchases by our customers. A material decrease in sales to any of our major customers or the loss of any of our major customers could have a material adverse impact on our operating results. In addition, to the extent we add new customers, whether following the loss of existing customers or otherwise, we may incur substantial start-up expenses in initiating services to new customers.

Failure to complete our proposed merger with a wholly-owned subsidiary of VISTAR Corporation could negatively affect us. On January 18, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger by and among us, VISTAR Corporation and Panda Acquisition, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of VISTAR. VISTAR is a food distributor specializing in the areas of Italian, pizza, vending, office coffee, concessions, fundraising and theater markets, controlled by private investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group with a minority interest held by a private investment fund affiliated with Wellspring Capital Management LLC. There is no assurance that our shareholders will approve the merger agreement, and there is no assurance that the other conditions to the completion of the merger will be satisfied. In connection with the merger, we will be subject to several risks, including the following:

• the current market price of our common stock may reflect a market assumption that the merger will occur, and a failure to complete the merger could result in a decline in the market price of our common stock;

• the occurrence of any event, change or other circumstances that could give rise to the termination of the merger agreement, including a termination that under certain circumstances would require us to pay a $40.0 million or $20.0 million termination fee to VISTAR;

• the outcome of any legal proceedings that have been or may be instituted against us and others relating to the merger agreement;

• the failure of the merger to close for any reason, including the inability to complete the merger due to the failure to obtain shareholder approval or the failure to satisfy other conditions to consummation of the merger, or the failure of VISTAR to obtain the necessary debt financing arrangements set forth in commitment letters received by us in connection with the merger, and the risk that any failure of the merger to close may adversely affect our business and the price of our common stock;

13

• the potential adverse effect on our business, properties and operations of any affirmative or negative covenants we agreed to in the merger agreement;

• risks that the proposed transaction diverts management’s attention and disrupts current plans and operations, and potential difficulties in employee retention as a result of the merger;

• the effect of the announcement of the merger and actions taken in anticipation of the merger on our business relationships, operating results and business generally; and

• the amount of the costs, fees, expenses and charges related to the merger.

Our success depends to a significant extent on discretionary consumer spending. A variety of factors could affect discretionary consumer spending, including national, regional and local economic conditions, weather, inflation, consumer confidence, the effect of disruption in, or a tightening of, the credit markets generally and increasing energy costs. Adverse changes in any of these factors could reduce consumers’ discretionary spending which could negatively impact consumers’ purchases of food-away-from-home and the businesses of our customers by, among other things, reducing the frequency with which our customers’ customers choose to dine out or the amount they spend on meals while dining out. Adverse changes to consumer preferences or consumer discretionary spending, each of which could be affected by many different factors which are out of our control, could harm our business prospects, financial condition, operating results and cash flows. Our continued success will depend in part on our ability to anticipate, identify and respond to changing economic and other conditions.

We have experienced losses due to the uncollectibility of accounts receivable in the past and could experience increases in such losses in the future if our customers are unable to timely pay their debts to us. Certain of our customers have from time to time experienced bankruptcy, insolvency and/or an inability to pay their debts to us as they come due. If our customers suffer significant financial difficulty, they may be unable to pay their debts to us timely or, at all, which could have a material adverse impact on our results of operations. It is possible that customers may reject their contractual obligations to us under bankruptcy laws or otherwise. Significant customer bankruptcies could further adversely impact our revenues and increase our operating expenses by requiring larger provisions for bad debt. In addition, even when our contracts with these customers are not rejected, if customers are unable to meet their obligations on a timely basis, it could adversely impact our ability to collect receivables. Further, we may have to negotiate significant discounts and/or extended financing terms with these customers in such a situation, each of which could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

We may not be able to close our Magee, Mississippi distribution facility within the time and cost estimates that we have internally established and we may not be able to retain those customers of the facility that we desire to retain. We recently announced that we are closing our Magee, Mississippi distribution facility and consolidating certain of its operations with other of our Broadline facilities. While we have internally prepared estimates of the costs of closing this facility, including the costs associated with severance pay and stay bonuses, real estate lease payments and consolidation of the two facilities, the costs we incur may exceed our estimated costs. We also expect to retain some of our customers and begin servicing them from other facilities of ours. If we are not able to retain these customers or if the costs we actually incur exceed our estimated costs, our results of operations may be negatively affected.

Our growth is dependent on our ability to complete acquisitions and integrate operations of acquired businesses. A significant portion of our historical growth has been achieved through acquisitions of other businesses, and our growth strategy includes additional acquisitions. We may not be able to make acquisitions in the future and any acquisitions we do make may not be successful. Furthermore, future acquisitions may have a material adverse effect upon our operating results, particularly in periods immediately following the consummation of those transactions while the operations of the acquired businesses are being integrated into our operations.

Achieving the benefits of acquisitions depends on the timely, efficient and successful execution of a number of post-acquisition events, including integrating the business of the acquired company into our purchasing programs, distribution network, marketing programs and reporting and information systems. We may not be able to successfully integrate the acquired company’s operations or personnel, or realize the anticipated benefits of the acquisition. Our ability to integrate acquisitions may be adversely affected by many factors, including the relatively large size of a business and the allocation of our limited management resources among various integration efforts.

In connection with the acquisitions of businesses in the future, we may decide to consolidate the operations of any acquired business with our existing operations or make other changes with respect to the acquired business, which could result in special charges or other expenses. Our results of operations also may be adversely affected by expenses we incur in making acquisitions, by amortization of acquisition-related intangible assets with definite lives and by additional depreciation

14

attributable to acquired assets. Any of the businesses we acquire may also have liabilities or adverse operating issues, including some that we fail to discover before the acquisition, and our indemnity for such liabilities typically has been limited and may, with respect to future acquisitions, also be limited. Additionally, our ability to make any future acquisitions may depend upon obtaining additional financing. We may not be able to obtain additional financing on acceptable terms or at all. To the extent that we seek to acquire other businesses in exchange for our common stock, fluctuations in our stock price could have a material adverse effect on our ability to complete acquisitions.

Managing our growth may be difficult and our growth rate may decline. At times since our inception, we have rapidly expanded our operations. This growth has placed and will continue to place significant demands on our administrative, operational and financial resources, and we may not be able to successfully integrate the operations of acquired businesses with our existing operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our business. This growth may not continue. To the extent that our customer base and our services continue to grow, this growth is also expected to place a significant demand on our managerial, administrative, operational and financial resources. Our future performance and results of operations will depend in part on our ability to successfully implement enhancements to our business management systems and to adapt those systems as necessary to respond to changes in our business. Similarly, our growth has created a need for expansion of our facilities and processing capacity from time to time. As we near maximum utilization of a given facility or maximize our processing capacity, operations may be constrained and inefficiencies have been and may be created, which could adversely affect our operating results unless the facility is expanded, volume is shifted to another facility or additional processing capacity is added. Conversely, as we add additional facilities or expand existing operations or facilities, excess capacity may be created. Any excess capacity may also create inefficiencies and adversely affect our operating results.

Our debt agreements and certain of our operating agreements contain restrictive covenants, and our debt and lease obligations require, or may require, substantial future payments. At December 29, 2007, we had $9.6 million of outstanding indebtedness, including a capital lease obligation of $9.0 million, which will require approximately $27.5 million in future lease payments, including interest. In addition, at December 29, 2007, we were a party to operating leases requiring $245.7 million in future minimum lease payments. Accordingly, the total amount of our obligations with respect to indebtedness and leases is substantial. In addition, we could currently borrow up to $400 million under our Senior Revolving Credit Facility (Credit Facility), as needed, in connection with funding our future business needs, including capital expenditures and acquisitions.

Our debt instruments and certain of our operating agreements contain financial covenants and other restrictions that limit our operating flexibility, limit our flexibility in planning for and reacting to changes in our business and make us more vulnerable to economic downturns and competitive pressures. Our indebtedness and lease obligations could have significant negative consequences, including:

• increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions;

• limiting our ability to obtain additional financing;

• limiting our flexibility in planning for or reacting to changes in our business and the industry in which we compete; and

• placing us at a possible competitive disadvantage compared to competitors with less leverage or better access to capital resources.

In addition, any borrowings under our Credit Facility, are, and will continue to be, at variable rates based upon prevailing interest rates, which expose us to risk of increased interest rates. Our Credit Facility requires that we comply with various financial tests and imposes certain restrictions on us, including, among other things, restrictions on our ability to incur additional indebtedness, create liens on assets, make loans or investments and pay dividends.

Product liability claims could have an adverse effect on our business. Like any other distributor and processor of food, we face an inherent risk of exposure to product liability claims if the products we sell cause injury or illness. We may be subject to liability, which could be substantial, because of actual or alleged contamination in products sold by us, including products sold by companies before we acquired them. We have, and the companies we have acquired have had, liability insurance with respect to product liability claims. This insurance may not continue to be available at a reasonable cost or at all, and may not be adequate to cover product liability claims against us or against companies we have acquired. We generally seek contractual indemnification from manufacturers, but any such indemnification is limited, as a practical matter, to the creditworthiness of the indemnifying party. If we or any of our acquired companies do not have adequate insurance or contractual indemnification available, product liability claims and costs associated with product recalls, including a loss of business, could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.

Competition in our industry is intense, and we may not be able to compete successfully. The foodservice distribution industry is highly competitive. We compete with numerous smaller distributors on a local level, as well as with a limited number of

15

national foodservice distributors. Some of these distributors have substantially greater financial and other resources than we do. Bidding for contracts or arrangements with customers, particularly chain and other large customers, is highly competitive and distributors may market their services to a particular customer over a long period of time before they are invited to bid. We believe that most purchasing decisions in the foodservice business are based on the distributor’s ability to completely and accurately fill orders, provide timely deliveries and the quality and price of the product.

Our success depends on our senior management. Our success is largely dependent on the skills, experience and efforts of our senior management. The loss of one or more of our members of senior management could have a material adverse effect upon our business and development. We do not have any employment agreements with or maintain key man life insurance on any of these employees. Additionally, any failure to attract and retain qualified employees in the future could have a material adverse effect on our business.

The market price for our common stock may be volatile. In recent periods, there has been significant volatility in the market price of our common stock. In addition, the market price of our common stock could fluctuate substantially in the future in response to a number of factors, including the following:

• our quarterly operating results or the operating results of other distributors of food and non-food products and of restaurants and other of our customers;

• changes in general conditions in the economy, the financial markets or the food distribution or foodservice industries;

• changes in financial estimates or recommendations by stock market analysts regarding us or our competitors;

• announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions;

• increases in labor, energy, fuel costs or the costs of food products; and

• natural disasters, severe weather conditions or other developments affecting us or our competitors.

In addition, in recent years the stock market has experienced extreme price and volume fluctuations. This volatility has had a significant effect on the market prices of securities issued by many companies for reasons unrelated to their operating performance. These broad market fluctuations may materially adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results.

Item 3. Legal Proceedings.

In November 2003, certain of the former shareholders of PFG — Empire Seafood, a wholly owned subsidiary which we acquired in 2001, brought a lawsuit against us in the Circuit Court, Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Dade County, seeking unspecified damages and alleging breach of their employment and earnout agreements.   Additionally, they seek to have their non-compete agreements declared invalid.  We intend to vigorously defend ourselves and have asserted counterclaims against the former shareholders.  Management currently believes that this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

On January 18, 2008, January 22, 2008 and January 24, 2008, respectively, three of our shareholders filed three separate class action lawsuits against us and our individual directors in the Chancery Court for the State of Tennessee, 20^th Judicial District at Nashville styled as Crescente v. Performance Food Group Company, et al., Case No. 08-140-IV; Neel v. Performance Food Group Company, et al., Case No. 08-151-II; and Friends of Ariel Center for Policy Research v. Sledd, et al. Case No. 08-224-II. The allegations in all three suits arise from our January 18, 2008, public announcement of entering into a certain merger agreement by and among VISTAR Corporation, Panda Acquisition, Inc. and us. VISTAR Corporation is a foodservice distributor controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone Group with a minority interest held by an affiliate of Wellspring Capital Management LLC. Two of the lawsuits also include The Blackstone Group and Wellspring Capital Management as named defendants, and one includes VISTAR Corporation as a named defendant. All three lawsuits were filed in the Chancery Court for the State of Tennessee, specifically in the 20^th Judicial District at Nashville.

Each complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties against our directors, alleging, among other things, that the consideration to be paid to our shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement is unfair and inadequate, and not the result of a full and adequate sale process, and that our directors engaged in “self-dealing”. Two of the complaints also allege aiding and abetting or undue control claims against The Blackstone Group, Wellspring Capital Management LLC and VISTAR. The complaints each seek, among other relief, class certification, an injunction preventing completion of the merger and attorney’s fees and expenses.

By order entered January 28, 2008, the Neel case was transferred to Chancery Court Part IV where the Crescente case is pending. An agreed order was entered by the Court on February 14, 2008, consolidating the Crescente and Neel cases and appointing counsel for those plaintiffs as co-lead counsel for the renamed consolidated matter, In re: Performance Food Group Co. Shareholders Litigation, Case No. 08-140-IV. On February 22, 2008, a motion to reconsider the consolidation order was filed by Friends of Ariel Center for Policy Research. That motion is scheduled to be heard on March 7, 2008. Discovery requests have been served by the plaintiffs on the defendants and various third parties.

We intend to vigorously defend ourselves and our directors against these suits. Management currently believes these lawsuits will not have a materially adverse effect on our financial condition or on our results of operations.

From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings and litigation currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Item 4. Submission of Matters to a Vote of Shareholders.

No matters were submitted to a vote of shareholders during the quarter ended December 29, 2007.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” and our consolidated financial statements and the related notes included elsewhere in this Form 10-K. The following text contains references to years 2008, 2007, 2006 and 2005, which refer to our fiscal years ending or ended January 3, 2009, December 29, 2007, December 30, 2006, December 31, 2005, respectively, unless otherwise expressly stated or the context otherwise requires. We use a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Consequently, we periodically have a 53-week fiscal year. None of our 2007, 2006, or 2005 fiscal years had 53 weeks.

Overview

We earn revenues primarily from the sale of food and non-food products to the foodservice, or “food-away-from-home,” industry. Our expenses consist mainly of cost of goods sold, which includes the amounts paid to manufacturers for products, and operating expenses, which include primarily labor-related expenses, delivery costs and occupancy expenses related to our facilities. For discussion of our business and strategies, see the “Business” section of this Form 10-K.

According to industry research, the restaurant industry captures nearly half of the total share of the consumer’s food dollar. We believe the trends that are fueling the demand for “food-away-from-home” include the aging of the “Baby Boomer” population, rising incomes, more two-income households and consumer demand for convenience. Despite the difficult consumer environment and the extremely high inflation the industry has been experiencing over the last year, we believe dining out remains a part of the American consumer’s lifestyle. While we continue to watch economic and consumer spending indicators closely, we are pleased with our company’s steady progress in real sales growth.

We believe that consumers are seeking healthful and higher quality menu choices. Several national casual dining restaurants, including certain of our customers, have expanded their fresh food menu offerings in an effort to meet the demands of consumers seeking healthful and higher quality menu alternatives. In addition, in an effort to reduce meal preparation time, consumers are seeking prepared or partially prepared food items from retail establishments.

The foodservice distribution industry is fragmented and consolidating. In the last decade, the ten largest broadline foodservice distributors have significantly increased their collective market share through both acquiring smaller foodservice distributors and internal growth. Over the past decade, we have supplemented our internal growth through selective, strategic acquisitions. We believe that the consolidation trends in the foodservice distribution industry will continue to present acquisition opportunities for us.

Our net sales in 2007 increased 8.2% over 2006, with all of our sales growth coming from existing operations. We estimate that food price inflation contributed approximately 5% to our growth in net sales in 2007. In addition to inflation, sales were impacted by the rollout of previously announced new business in our Customized segment, increased sales to existing customers in both segments and continued growth in our Broadline street sales.

Gross profit margin, which we define as gross profit as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 13.1% in 2007, compared to 13.3% in 2006, primarily due to the impact of inflation in our Broadline segment, partially offset by improvements related to our procurement initiatives in our Broadline segment.

Our operating expense ratio, which we define as operating expenses as a percentage of net sales, decreased to 11.7% in 2007, compared to 12.0% in 2006. While our operating expenses increased primarily due to increased personnel, insurance and stock compensation costs, our operating expense ratio decreased, primarily due to higher sales levels and improved operating efficiencies.

21

Going forward, we expect to continue our focus on executing our strategies, driving standardization of best practices and achieving operational excellence initiatives in each of our business segments. We continue to seek innovative means of servicing our customers to distinguish ourselves from others in the marketplace.

Sale of Fresh-cut Segment

In 2005, we completed the sale of all our stock in the subsidiaries that comprised our fresh-cut segment to Chiquita Brands International, Inc. for $860.6 million and recorded a net gain of approximately $186.8 million. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, depreciation and amortization were discontinued beginning February 23, 2005, the day after we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our fresh-cut segment. As such, unless otherwise noted, all amounts described below and presented in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements, including all note disclosures, and in our “Selected Consolidated Financial Data” above contain only information related to our continuing operations. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements for additional disclosures regarding discontinued operations.

* Inter-segment sales are sales between the segments, which are eliminated in consolidation.

Consolidated. In 2007, net sales increased $478.2 million, or 8.2%, to $6.3 billion, compared to $5.8 billion in 2006. In 2006, net sales increased $105.4 million, or 1.8%, to $5.8 billion, compared to $5.7 billion in 2005. All of our net sales growth in 2007 and 2006 was from existing operations. We estimate that food price inflation contributed approximately 5% and 1% to net sales growth in 2007 and 2006, respectively. Each segment’s sales are discussed in more detail in the following paragraphs.

Broadline. In 2007, Broadline net sales increased $331.8 million, or 9.5%, to $3.8 billion, compared to $3.5 billion in 2006. In 2006, Broadline net sales decreased $2.7 million, or 0.1%, to $3.5 billion. We estimate that food price inflation of approximately 7% and 3% impacted Broadline net sales in 2007 and 2006, respectively.

In 2007, Broadline net sales increased due to increased street sales as well as the impact of inflation, primarily in the dairy, meat and poultry product categories. We have continued our focus on increasing sales to independent restaurants and generating increased sales to existing customers and markets. Street customers tend to use more of our proprietary brands and value-added services, resulting in higher margin sales. We focus on sales of our proprietary brands, which typically generate higher margins than national brands. Sales of our proprietary brands represented 27% of street sales in 2007, compared to 24% in both 2006 and 2005. In 2006, Broadline net sales declined due to decreased sales to certain of our multi-unit accounts, partially offset by growth in our street sales. During 2005, we exited approximately $35 million of annualized multi-unit sales and began the exit of an additional $115 million in annualized multi-unit sales, the majority of which was a result of our own initiative to rationalize business that did not meet our profit objectives.

Broadline net sales represented 60.4%, 59.7% and 60.8% of our consolidated net sales in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The increase as a percentage of our consolidated net sales in 2007 compared to 2006 was due to the increase in Broadline sales and the impact of inflation, as noted above. The decrease as a percentage of our net sales in 2006 compared to 2005 was due to the exit of certain multi-unit business, as noted above, and the increase in Customized sales, as described below.

Customized. In 2007, Customized net sales increased $147.0 million, or 6.3%, to $2.5 billion, compared to $2.3 billion in 2006. In 2006, Customized net sales increased $107.9 million, or 4.8%, to $2.3 billion, compared to $2.2 billion in 2005. We estimate that our Customized segment experienced food product inflation of approximately 2% in 2007 and deflation of approximately 2% in 2006.

22

Growth in sales to existing customers led to the increase in Customized net sales in both 2007 and 2006. The increase in 2007 is also due to the rollout of approximately $200 million in annualized new business, of which approximately $38 million contributed to 2007.

Customized net sales represented 39.6%, 40.3% and 39.2% of our consolidated net sales in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease as a percentage of our consolidated net sales in 2007 compared to 2006 was due to the increase in Broadline sales, as noted above. The increase as a percentage of our consolidated net sales in 2006 compared to 2005 was due to continued growth with existing customers and a change in mix of Broadline sales, as discussed above.

Cost of goods sold

In 2007, cost of goods sold increased $428.2 million, or 8.5%, to $5.5 billion, compared to $5.1 billion in 2006. In 2006, cost of goods sold increased $78.1 million, or 1.6%, to $5.1 billion, compared to $5.0 billion in 2005. Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales, or the cost of goods sold ratio, was 86.9% in 2007, 86.7% in 2006 and 86.9% in 2005.

Broadline. Our Broadline segment’s cost of goods sold ratio increased in 2007 compared to 2006 due to inflation and sales mix changes, partially offset by improvements in our procurement initiatives. While inflation negatively impacted our percentage margin, our gross profit dollars were not as impacted by the significant inflation in the dairy, meat and poultry categories. This is due in large part to the customary pricing of multi-unit and center-of-the-plate product categories, both of which are generally priced on a fee per case or pound basis versus a percentage markup on cost. Our Broadline segment’s cost of goods sold ratio decreased in 2006 compared to 2005 due to a more favorable mix of growth in our higher margin street sales business, improvements made related to our procurement initiatives and increased fuel surcharges.

Customized. Our Customized segment’s cost of goods sold ratio decreased slightly in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily due to a favorable product mix shift, partially offset by inflation. Our Customized segment’s cost of goods sold ratio decreased in 2006 compared to 2005 due to food product deflation and increased fuel surcharges.

Gross profit

In 2007, gross profit increased $49.9 million, or 6.4%, to $824.5 million, compared to $774.6 million in 2006. In 2006, gross profit increased $27.2 million, or 3.6%, to $774.6 million, compared to $747.4 million in 2005. Gross profit margin was 13.1% in 2007, 13.3% in 2006 and 13.1% in 2005. The decline in gross profit margin in 2007 as compared to 2006 was primarily due to inflation; however, as noted above, even though inflation caused our gross profit margin to decline, our gross profit dollars were not impacted as much by inflation as our gross profit margin. Our increase in gross profit margin in 2006 as compared to 2005 is primarily due to a more favorable mix of growth towards higher margin street sales and procurement initiatives.

Operating expenses

Consolidated. In 2007, operating expenses increased $37.9 million, or 5.4%, to $737.4 million, compared to $699.5 million in 2006. In 2006, operating expenses increased $22.6 million, or 3.3%, to $699.5 million, compared to $676.9 million in 2005. The operating expense ratio was 11.7%, 12.0% and 11.8% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in the operating expense ratio in 2007 compared to 2006 and the increase in the operating expense ratio in 2006 compared to 2005 are discussed below.

Broadline. Our Broadline segment’s operating expenses increased in 2007 from 2006 due to increased personnel, insurance, fuel and bad debt costs; however, the operating expense ratio declined due to increased sales and improved operating efficiencies, primarily as a result of increased warehouse and transportation productivity. Our Broadline segment’s operating expense ratio increased in 2006 from 2005 due to the investment in new sales personnel related to our initiative to grow street sales, the costs associated with the planned exit of certain multi-unit business, our continued investment in information technology and increased fuel costs, partially offset by favorable trends in insurance.

Customized. Our Customized segment’s operating expense ratio increased slightly in 2007 compared to 2006 due to increased personnel and fuel costs, primarily as a result of servicing new business added in the fourth quarter of 2007. Our Customized segment’s operating expense ratio increased in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily due to increased fuel costs, partially offset by favorable trends in insurance costs and the lapping of start-up costs in connection with the opening of our Indiana facility.

23

Corporate. Our Corporate segment’s operating expenses increased in 2007 compared to 2006 primarily as a result of increased stock compensation expense. Our Corporate segment’s operating expenses increased in 2006 compared to 2005 primarily as a result of increased stock compensation expense, partially offset by the lapping of costs incurred in connection with our previously disclosed Audit Committee investigation in 2005.

Consolidated. In 2007, operating profit increased $12.1 million, or 16.1%, to $87.2 million, compared to $75.1 million in 2006. In 2006, operating profit increased $4.6 million, or 6.6%, to $75.1 million, compared to $70.5 million in 2005. Operating profit margin, defined as operating profit as a percentage of net sales, was 1.4% in 2007, 1.3% in 2006 and 1.2% in 2005.

Broadline. Our Broadline segment’s operating profit margin was 2.2% in 2007 and 2.1% in both 2006 and 2005. Operating profit margin in 2007 was positively impacted by procurement initiatives and improved operating efficiencies partially offset by the impact of inflation, primarily in the dairy, meat and poultry categories. Operating profit margin in 2006 was positively impacted by procurement initiatives, improved operating efficiencies and favorable trends in insurance costs, offset by our investment in new street sales personnel and the costs associated with the planned exit of certain multi-unit business.

Customized. Our Customized segment’s operating profit margin was 1.3% in both 2007 and 2006 and 1.1% in 2005. Operating profit margin in 2007 was positively impacted by a favorable shift in product mix, offset by increased personnel and fuel costs. Operating profit margin in 2006 was positively impacted by the ability to leverage our new capacity to more efficiently serve our existing customer base and favorable trends in insurance costs.

Other expense, net

Other expense, net, was $5.6 million in 2007, compared to $6.6 million in 2006 and $3.4 million in 2005. Included in other expense, net, was interest income of $3.3 million, $2.2 million and $4.7 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and interest expense of $2.1 million, $1.7 million and $3.2 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. Interest expense was higher in 2007 compared to 2006 due to increased expense associated with a capital lease. Interest expense was lower in 2006 compared to 2005 due to reduced borrowings under our revolving credit facility that were paid with a portion of the proceeds from the sale of our former fresh-cut segment, partially offset by increased interest rates. Interest income was higher in 2007 compared to 2006 due to an increase in our cash balance available for investment. Interest income was lower in 2006 compared to 2005 due to a decline in outstanding investments as the balance of the proceeds from the sale of the companies comprising our former fresh-cut segment were used to repurchase our common stock during the third and fourth quarters of 2005 and the first quarter of 2006.

Other expense, net, also included a loss on the sale of the undivided interest in receivables of $7.7 million, $7.4 million and $5.2 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. These losses are related to our receivables purchase facility, referred to as the Receivables Facility, and represent the discount from carrying value that we incur from our sale of receivables to the financial institution. The Receivables Facility is discussed below in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.” The increase in the loss on sale of receivables in 2007 compared to 2006 and in 2006 compared to 2005 was due to increased average interest rates.

Income tax expense

Income tax expense from continuing operations was $30.5 million in 2007, compared to $25.6 million in 2006 and $25.3 million in 2005. As a percentage of earnings before income taxes, the provision for income taxes was 37.3%, 37.4% and 37.8% in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The decrease in the effective tax rate in the 2007 period compared to the 2006 period was primarily due to the recognition of previously unrecognized tax benefits as the statutes of limitations on certain

24

contingencies expired in the 2007 period, partially offset by an increase in our state tax rate. The decline in our effective tax rate in 2006 from 2005 was primarily due to the increase in federal tax credits associated with the Gulf Opportunity Zone, Federal Communications Excise Tax and Worker Opportunity Tax Credit Programs.

Earnings from continuing operations

In 2007, earnings from continuing operations increased $8.2 million, or 19.2%, to $51.1 million, compared to $42.9 million in 2006. In 2006, earnings from continuing operations increased $1.1 million, or 2.7%, to $42.9 million, compared to $41.8 million in 2005. Earnings from continuing operations as a percentage of net sales was 0.8% in 2007 and 0.7% in both 2006 and 2005.

Diluted net earnings per share

Diluted net earnings per common share from continuing operations, or diluted EPS, is computed by dividing earnings from continuing operations, net of tax, available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. In 2007, diluted EPS increased 17.9% to $1.45, compared to $1.23 in 2006. In 2006, diluted EPS increased 29.5% to $1.23, compared to $0.95 in 2005.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have historically financed our operations and growth primarily with cash flows from operations, borrowings under our credit facilities, the issuance of long-term debt, operating leases, normal trade credit terms and the sale of our common stock. Despite our growth in net sales, we have reduced our working capital needs by financing our investment in inventory principally with accounts payable and outstanding checks in excess of deposits. We typically fund our acquisitions, and expect to fund future acquisitions, with our existing cash, additional borrowings under our Credit Facility and the issuance of debt or equity securities.

At December 29, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $87.7 million, an increase of $12.6 million from December 30, 2006. The increase in cash was due to cash provided by operating activities of $56.9 million and cash provided by financing activities of $13.9 million, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $57.9 million and cash used in discontinued operations of $0.3 million. At December 30, 2006, cash and cash equivalents totaled $75.1 million, a decrease of $24.4 million from December 31, 2005. The decrease in cash was due to cash used in investing activities of $53.2 million and cash used in financing activities of $43.4 million, partially offset by cash provided by operating activities of $65.7 million and cash provided by discontinued operations of $6.6 million. Cash provided by discontinued operations included cash provided by operating activities of $6.7 million, partially offset by cash used in investing activities of $0.1 million. Cash provided by operating activities of discontinued operations was primarily due to the decrease in accounts receivable from discontinued operations.

Operating activities of continuing operations

During 2007, we generated cash from operating activities of $56.9 million, compared to $65.7 million in 2006 and $76.2 million in 2005. Accounts receivable increased $29.6 million in 2007, compared to an increase of $35.6 million in 2006. The increase in accounts receivable in 2007 compared to 2006 was primarily due to higher average daily sales in December 2007 compared to December 2006. The increase in accounts receivable in 2006 compared to 2005 was due primarily to higher average daily sales in December 2006 compared to December 2005. Inventories increased by $20.8 million in 2007, compared to an increase of $5.8 million in 2006. Inventories increased in 2007 compared to 2006 due to increased sales volume and the roll out of new business in our Customized segment. Inventories increased in 2006 compared to 2005 due to increased sales volume and incremental inventory for new and existing multi-unit customers. Trade accounts payable increased by $3.5 million in 2007, compared to an increase of $10.8 million in 2006. The increases in 2007 and 2006 were due mainly to higher inventory levels and the timing of payments made. Accrued expenses increased by $9.6 million in 2007, compared to an increase of $10.6 million in 2006. The increase in accrued expenses in 2007 compared to 2006 was due to increased accrued rebates and personnel related accruals. The increase in 2006 compared to 2005 in accrued expenses was mainly due to an increase in deferred revenue due to the timing of marketing programs. See “Application of Critical Accounting Policies” below for further discussion of these estimates.

Investing activities of continuing operations

During 2007, we used $57.9 million for investing activities, compared to $53.2 million in 2006 and $81.4 million in 2005. Investing activities include the acquisition of businesses and additions to and disposals of property, plant and equipment. Capital expenditures totaled $74.9 million in 2007, $53.7 million in 2006 and $77.6 million in 2005. In 2007, capital

25

expenditures totaled $61.2 million in our Broadline segment, $13.6 million in our Customized segment and $0.1 million in our Corporate segment. Capital expenditures in our Broadline segment included replacement facilities for two of our locations and our continued investment in information technology, described below. During 2007, we completed a substitution of collateral and sale-leaseback transaction involving one of our Broadline operating facilities and one of our former fresh-cut segment operating facilities, resulting in proceeds of approximately $15.9 million. We expect our 2008 capital expenditures to range between $30 and $40 million, inclusive of approximately $10 million related to our SAP implementation described below.

We continue to invest in information technology. As part of this initiative, in 2007 we began implementing certain applications of an SAP software package, which we expect to be completed in 2008. We have specifically chosen the SAP financial and rebate income tracking applications, which will enable us to continue our initiative to centralize certain of our transactional accounting processes and will improve the overall efficiency of our financial reporting process. These applications will also help support our category management initiatives. We made capital expenditures of approximately $12.8 million related to this SAP implementation during 2007.

In 2006, capital expenditures totaled $48.2 million in our Broadline segment, $5.2 million in our Customized segment and $0.3 million in our Corporate segment. Capital expenditures in our Broadline segment included expansions of several existing warehouses.

Financing activities of continuing operations

During 2007, we generated $13.9 million from financing activities, compared to cash used of $43.4 million in 2006 and $564.2 million in 2005. Checks in excess of deposits increased by $8.6 million in 2007 and decreased by $12.3 million in 2006 and $3.6 million in 2005. Checks in excess of deposits represent checks that we have written that are not yet cashed by the payee and in total exceed the current available cash balance at the respective bank. The increase in checks in excess of deposits is due to higher inventory levels and timing of payments due to our efforts to improve cash management. At December 29, 2007, total debt recorded on our consolidated balance sheet was $9.6 million, which includes a capital lease obligation of $9.0 million. In January 2007, we paid off the remaining $2.6 million principal balance outstanding on our Middendorf Meat tax-exempt private activity revenue bonds.

On October 7, 2005, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (Credit Agreement) that provides us with up to $400 million in borrowing capacity, with a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit, under our Credit Facility that expires on October 7, 2010. We have the right, without the consent of the lenders, to increase the total amount of the facility to $600 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at our option, at the Base Rate, defined as the greater of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate or the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%, or LIBOR plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.25%. The Credit Agreement also provides for a fee ranging between 0.125% and 0.225% of unused commitments. The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as described in the Credit Agreement, and contains customary events of default. At December 29, 2007, we had no borrowings outstanding, $48.4 million of letters of credit outstanding and $351.6 million available under the Credit Facility, subject to compliance with customary borrowing conditions.

Our associates who exercised stock options and purchased our stock under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) provided $7.1 million of proceeds in 2007, compared to $8.2 million in 2006 and $12.7 million in 2005. See Note 16 to our consolidated financial statements for details of our equity incentive plans and Employee Stock Purchase Plan. On January 18, 2008, we suspended the offering period under our Stock Purchase Plan in connection with our proposed merger with a wholly owned subsidiary of VISTAR. No new shares will be issued under this plan if the merger is consummated.

In 2006, utilizing a portion of the net proceeds received from the sale of our former fresh-cut segment, we paid $39.6 million of cash, including transaction costs, to repurchase approximately 1.5 million shares of our outstanding common stock. See Note 14 to our consolidated financial statements for details of our share repurchase and retirement.

We believe that our cash flows from operations, borrowings under our Credit Facility and the sale of undivided interests in receivables under our Receivables Facility, discussed below, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures for the foreseeable future. However, we will likely require additional sources of financing to the extent that we make acquisitions in the future.

The table below presents contractual cash obligations under long-term debt, capital leases, operating leases and purchase obligations as of December 29, 2007. Long-term debt on our consolidated balance sheet includes both debt and a capital lease obligation. Lease payments include payments due under our existing operating and capital leases. In the table below, “Purchase obligations” refers to specific agreements to purchase goods, which are enforceable and legally binding. Purchase

26

obligations do not include outstanding purchase orders for inventory in the normal course of business and do not include non-cancelable service contracts. The table does not include liabilities for deferred income taxes or the Receivables Facility. We have also excluded certain uncertain tax liabilities as defined in the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), due to the uncertainty of the amount and timing of payment. As of December 29, 2007, we had gross uncertain tax liabilities of $4.5 million. This table should be read in conjunction with Notes 10, 12, 13 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements.

Our Broadline segment had outstanding purchase orders for capital projects totaling $18.1 million at December 29, 2007. Our Customized segment had outstanding purchase orders for capital projects totaling $0.6 million at December 29, 2007. These contracts and purchase orders expire at various times throughout 2008. Also, at December 29, 2007, our Broadline segment had contracts to purchase products totaling $8.3 million, which expire throughout 2008. These purchase commitments are included in “Purchase obligations” in the above table. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on our consolidated balance sheet at December 29, 2007, in accordance with United States generally accepted account principles. We expect to use future cash flows from operations to fund these obligations.

We have entered into numerous operating leases, including leases of buildings, equipment, tractors and trailers. In certain of these leases, we have provided residual value guarantees to the lessors. Circumstances that would require us to perform under the guarantees include either (1) our default on the leases with the leased assets being sold for less than the specified residual values in the lease agreements, or (2) our decision not to purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms combined with the sale of the assets, with sales proceeds less than the residual value of the leased assets specified in the lease agreements. Our residual value guarantees under these operating lease agreements typically range between 4% and 20% of the value of the leased assets at inception of the lease. These leases have original terms ranging from two to eight years and expiration dates ranging from 2008 to 2015. At December 29, 2007, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments under these guarantees totaled $7.3 million, which would be mitigated by the fair value of the leased assets at lease expiration. Our assessment as to whether it is probable that we will be required to make payments under the terms of the guarantees is based upon our actual and expected loss experience. Consistent with the requirements of Financial Accounting Standard Board Interpretation No. 45, we have recorded $80,000 of the $7.3 million of potential future payments under these guarantees on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007. Additionally, we do not consider payments under these guarantees, if any, reasonably likely to have a material impact on our future consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Notes 12 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements provide further discussion of these guarantees and the related accounting and disclosure requirements.

Stock Based Compensation

Prior to January 1, 2006, we accounted for our stock incentive plans and our Stock Purchase Plan using the intrinsic value method of accounting provided under Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, (“APB 25”) and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, (“SFAS 123”), under which no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants and issuances of stock pursuant to our Stock Purchase Plan. Share-based compensation was a pro forma disclosure in the financial statement footnotes and continues to be provided for periods prior to fiscal 2006.

Effective January 1, 2006, we adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment, (“SFAS 123(R)”), using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in fiscal 2007 and 2006 includes: 1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted through December 31, 2005, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and 2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior periods have not been restated.

27

On February 22, 2005, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Directors voted to accelerate the vesting of certain unvested options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of our common stock held by certain employees and officers under the 1993 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “1993 Plan”) and the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”), which had exercise prices greater than the closing price of our common stock on February 22, 2005. These options were accelerated such that upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), effective January 1, 2006, we would not be required to incur any compensation cost related to the accelerated options. We believe this decision was in our best interest and the best interest of our shareholders. This acceleration did not result in us being required to recognize any compensation cost in our consolidated statement of earnings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as all stock options that were accelerated had exercise prices that were greater than the market price of our common stock on the date of modification; however, we were required to recognize all unvested compensation cost in our pro forma SFAS 123 disclosure in the period of acceleration. The pro forma expense of the acceleration was approximately $7.3 million, net of tax, which represents all future compensation expense of the accelerated stock options on February 22, 2005, the date of modification.

The total share-based compensation cost recognized in operating expenses in our consolidated statements of earnings was $6.6 million, $4.9 million and $1.0 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, which represents the expense associated with our stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan. The income tax benefit recognized in excess of the tax benefit related to the compensation cost incurred was $1.7 million, $2.0 million and $3.1 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

At December 29, 2007, there was $4.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding stock options and stock appreciation rights and $10.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting periods of 2.4 years each.

Discontinued Operations

In 2005, we sold all our stock in the subsidiaries that comprised our fresh-cut segment to Chiquita Brands International, Inc. for $860.6 million and recorded a net gain of approximately $186.8 million, net of approximately $77.0 million in net tax expense. In accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, (“SFAS 144”), depreciation and amortization were discontinued beginning February 23, 2005, the day after we entered into a definitive agreement to sell our former fresh-cut segment. This resulted in a reduction of pre-tax expense of approximately $12.8 million, or $0.18 per share diluted, for 2005. Earnings from discontinued operations for 2005, excluding gain on sale, were $18.5 million, net of taxes of $14.3 million. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 87-24, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, we allocated to discontinued operations certain interest expense on debt that was required to be repaid as a result of the sale and a portion of interest expense associated with our revolving credit facility and subordinated convertible notes. The allocation percentage was calculated based on the ratio of net assets of the discontinued operations to consolidated net assets. Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations in 2005 totaled $3.2 million.

Off Balance Sheet Activities

We have a Receivables Facility, which is generally described as off balance sheet financing. In “Financing Activities” above, we describe certain purchase obligations and residual value guarantees, all of which could be considered off balance sheet items. Refer to the discussion in “Financing Activities” above and Notes 12 and 18 to our consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our commitments, contingencies and leases.

The Receivables Facility represents off balance sheet financing because the transaction and the financial institution’s ownership interest in certain of our accounts receivable results in assets being removed from our consolidated balance sheet to the extent that the transaction qualifies for sale treatment under generally accepted accounting principles. This treatment requires us to account for the transaction with the financial institution as a sale of the undivided interest in the accounts receivable instead of reflecting the financial institution’s net investment of $130.0 million as debt. We believe that the Receivables Facility provides us with additional liquidity at a very competitive cost compared to other forms of financing.

In July 2001, we entered into the Receivables Facility, under which PFG Receivables Corporation, a wholly owned, special-purpose subsidiary, sold an undivided interest in certain of our trade receivables. PFG Receivables Corporation was formed for the sole purpose of buying receivables generated by certain of our operating units and selling an undivided interest in those receivables to a financial institution. Under the Receivables Facility, certain of our operating units sell their accounts receivable to PFG Receivables Corporation, which in turn, subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell an undivided interest in these receivables to the financial institution. Our operating units continue to service the receivables on behalf of the financial institution at estimated market rates. Accordingly, we have not recognized a servicing asset or liability.

28

In June 2007, the Company extended the term of the Receivables Facility through June 23, 2008. If the Receivables Facility terminates, either at its scheduled termination date or upon the occurrence of specified events (similar to events of default), payments on accounts receivable sold would be remitted to the financial institution in an amount equal to the institution’s undivided interest.

At December 29, 2007, securitized accounts receivable totaled $264.9 million, including $130.0 million sold to the financial institution and derecognized from our consolidated balance sheet. Total securitized accounts receivable includes our residual interest in accounts receivable of $134.9 million. At December 30, 2006, securitized accounts receivable totaled $250.8 million, including $130.0 million sold to the financial institution and derecognized from our consolidated balance sheet and the Residual Interest of $120.8 million. The Residual Interest represents our retained interest in receivables held by PFG Receivables Corporation. We measure the Residual Interest using the estimated discounted cash flows of the underlying accounts receivable, based on estimated collections and a discount rate approximately equivalent to our incremental borrowing rate. Losses on the sale of the undivided interest in receivables of $7.7 million in 2007, $7.4 million in 2006 and $5.2 million in 2005 are included in other expense, net, in our consolidated statements of earnings and represent our cost of securitizing those receivables with the financial institution.

We record the sale of the undivided interest in accounts receivable to the financial institution according to Statement of Financial Accounting Standards, or SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Accordingly, at the time the undivided interest in receivables is sold, the receivables are removed from our consolidated balance sheet. We record a loss on the sale of the undivided interest in these receivables, which includes a discount, based upon the receivables’ credit quality and a financing cost for the financial institution, based upon a 30-day commercial paper rate. At December 29, 2007, the rate under the Receivables Facility was 5.8% per annum.

Business Combinations

During 2005 we paid approximately $2.7 million related to contractual obligations in the purchase agreements for companies we acquired in 2002 and 2004. Also during 2005, we paid approximately $1.3 million related to the settlement of an earnout agreement with the former owners of Middendorf Meat; this amount was accrued, with a corresponding increase to goodwill, in 2004.

Subsequent Events

Merger Agreement with VISTAR Corporation

On January 18, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with VISTAR and Panda Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VISTAR. VISTAR is a food distributor specializing in the areas of Italian, pizza, vending, office coffee, concessions, fundraising and theater markets, controlled by private investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group with a minority interest held by an investment fund affiliated with Wellspring Capital Management LLC.

At the effective time of the merger, each of our outstanding shares of common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $34.50 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding stock option and stock appreciation right, whether vested or unvested, shall become fully vested and exercisable and all restricted shares under our equity plans shall become fully vested. Each holder of an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right as of the effective time shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation of such stock option or stock appreciation right an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the difference between the $34.50 per share consideration and the applicable exercise price of such stock option or grant price of such stock appreciation right and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such stock option or the number of shares with respect to which such stock appreciation right was granted, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements and any appreciation cap set forth in such stock appreciation right.

Consummation of the merger is subject to various closing conditions, including approval of the merger agreement by our shareholders, expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and other customary closing conditions. We expect to close the transaction during the second quarter of 2008. In connection with the proposed merger, we suspended the offering period under our Stock Purchase Plan on January 18, 2008. No new shares will be issued under this plan if the merger is consummated.

Subsequent to the announcement of the planned merger, three of our shareholders filed three separate class action lawsuits against us and our directors among other parties. For additional detail, see Item 3 “Legal Proceedings” within this Form 10-K.

Magee, Mississippi Broadline Facility Closing

On January 9, 2008, our Board of Directors authorized the closure of the Magee, Mississippi Broadline distribution facility. In connection with the closure of this facility, we expect to incur one-time costs during 2008 in the range of approximately $8 million to $10 million on a pre-tax basis. We expect that the facility will be closed on or about March 10, 2008. Within the range of expected costs, we anticipate that we will incur costs of between $1.5 million and $2.0 million related to severance pay and stay bonuses; $5.0 million to $6.0 million related to real estate valuation reserves and facility lease payments and $1.5 million to $2.0 million for other expenses that include the write-down of assets and costs to consolidate facilities. We estimate approximately $2.0 million to $2.5 million of this charge will be cash expenditures incurred during 2008.

Application of Critical Accounting Policies

We have prepared our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles applied on a consistent basis. In preparing our financial statements, management must often make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements and during the reporting periods. Some of those judgments can be subjective and complex; consequently, actual results could differ from those estimates. We continually evaluate the accounting policies and estimates we use to prepare our financial statements. Management’s estimates are generally based upon historical experience and various other assumptions that we determine to be reasonable in light of the relevant facts and circumstances. We believe that our critical accounting estimates include allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, goodwill and other intangible assets, insurance programs, vendor rebates and other promotional incentives, income taxes and share-based compensation.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. We evaluate the collectibility of our accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. We regularly analyze our significant customer accounts, and when we become aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to us, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, we record a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount we reasonably believe is collectible. We also record reserves for bad debt for all other customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, macroeconomic considerations and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers or other factors change, we may need to adjust our estimates of the recoverability of receivables. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, we wrote off uncollectible accounts receivable of $6.0 million, $6.4 million and $9.3 million, respectively, against the allowance for doubtful accounts. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, we recorded estimates of $8.7 million, $4.2 million and $8.4 million, respectively, in operating expenses to increase our allowance for doubtful accounts.

Inventory Valuation. We maintain reserves for slow-moving and obsolete inventories. These reserves are primarily based upon inventory age plus specifically identified inventory items and overall economic conditions. A sudden and unexpected change in consumer preferences or change in overall economic conditions could result in a significant change in the reserve balance and could require a corresponding charge to earnings. We actively manage our inventory levels to minimize the risk of loss and have consistently achieved a high level of inventory turnover.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets. Our goodwill and other intangible assets primarily include the cost of acquired subsidiaries in excess of the fair value of the tangible net assets recorded in connection with acquisitions. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, trade names, trademarks, patents and non-compete agreements. We use estimates and assumptions to determine the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed, assigning lives to acquired intangibles and evaluating those assets for impairment after acquisition. These estimates and assumptions include indicators that would trigger an impairment of assets, whether those indicators are temporary, economic or competitive factors that affect valuation, discount rates and cash flow estimates. When we determine that the carrying value of such assets is not recoverable, or the estimated lives assigned to such assets are improper, we must reduce the carrying value of the assets to the net realizable value or adjust the amortization period of the asset, recording any adjustment in our consolidated statements of earnings. As of December 29, 2007, our unamortized goodwill was $356.5 million and other intangible assets totaled $44.2 million, net.

SFAS No. 142 was effective at the beginning of 2002, except for goodwill and other intangible assets resulting from business combinations completed subsequent to June 30, 2001, for which the standard was effective beginning July 1, 2001. In accordance with SFAS No. 142, we ceased amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of the beginning of 2002. SFAS No. 142 requires us to assess goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually in the absence of an indicator of possible impairment and immediately upon an indicator of possible impairment by estimating the fair value of our reporting units and our intangible assets with indefinite lives. If we determine that the fair values of our reporting units are less than the carrying amount of goodwill, we must recognize an impairment loss in our financial statements. To perform the assessment of significant other non-amortized intangible assets, we compare

30

the book value of the asset to the discounted expected future operating cash flows to be generated by the specific asset. If we determine the discounted future operating cash flows are less than the recorded values of other unamortized assets, we must recognize an impairment loss in our financial statements. Annually, we are also required to evaluate the remaining useful life of intangible assets that are not being amortized to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an indefinite useful life.

In the fourth quarter of 2007, we performed our annual impairment assessment of goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for our Broadline segment, in accordance with the provisions of SFAS No. 142. Our Customized segment has no goodwill or other intangible assets. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, no impairment loss was recorded based on these assessments. In testing for potential impairment, we measured the estimated fair value of our reporting units and intangible assets with indefinite lives based upon discounting future operating cash flows using an appropriate discount rate. A 10% change in our estimates of projected future operating cash flows or discount rate used in our calculation of the fair value of the reporting units would have no impact on the reported value of our goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives on our consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007.

We report intangible assets with definite lives at cost less accumulated amortization. We compute amortization over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to 30 years. We test these intangible assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of a particular asset may not be recoverable, in accordance with SFAS No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets. In order to evaluate the recoverability of an asset, we compare the carrying value of the asset to the estimated undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If we determine that the estimated, undiscounted future cash flows of the asset are less than its carrying amount on our consolidated balance sheet, we must record an impairment loss in our financial statements. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, no impairment loss was recorded for intangible assets with definite lives. Due to the numerous variables associated with our judgments and assumptions related to the valuation of the reporting units and intangible assets with definite lives, and the effects of changes in circumstances affecting these valuations, both the precision and reliability of the resulting estimates are subject to uncertainty. Therefore, as we become aware of additional information, we may change our estimates.

Insurance Programs. We maintain self-insurance programs covering portions of our general and vehicle liability, workers’ compensation and group medical insurance. The amounts in excess of the self-insured levels are fully insured by third parties, subject to certain limitations and exclusions. The Company utilizes third party actuaries to assist in the calculation of these reserves. We accrue an estimated liability for these self-insured programs, including an estimate for incurred but not reported claims, based on known claims and past claims history. These accrued liabilities are included in accrued expenses on our consolidated balance sheets. Our reserves for insurance claims include estimates of the frequency and timing of claim occurrences, as well as the ultimate amounts to be paid. The accounting estimate of the self-insurance liability includes both known and incurred but not reported insurance claims. This estimate is highly susceptible to change from period to period if claims differ from past claims history, which could have a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. If we experience claims in excess of our estimates by 5%, our insurance expense and related insurance liability would increase by $4.0 million, negatively affecting our consolidated financial statements.

Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives. We participate in various rebate and promotional incentives with our suppliers, including volume and growth rebates, annual and multi-year incentives and promotional programs. In accounting for vendor rebates, we follow the guidance in EITF No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor and EITF No. 03-10, Application of Issue No. 02-16 by Resellers to Sales Incentives Offered to Consumers by Manufacturers.

We generally record consideration received under these incentives as a reduction of cost of goods sold. However, in certain circumstances, we record the consideration as a reduction of costs that we incur. We may receive consideration in the form of cash and/or invoice deductions. We treat changes in the estimated amount of incentives to be received as changes in estimates and recognize them in the period of change.

We record consideration that we receive for incentives containing volume and growth rebates and annual and multi-year incentives as a reduction of cost of goods sold. We systematically and rationally allocate the consideration for these incentives to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by us toward earning the incentives. If the incentives are not probable and reasonably estimable, we record the incentives as the underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. We record annual and multi-year incentives when we earn them, generally over the agreement period. We estimate whether we will achieve the underlying objectives or milestones using current and historical purchasing data, forecasted purchasing volumes and other factors. We record consideration received to promote and sell the supplier’s products as a reduction of our costs, as the consideration is typically a reimbursement of costs incurred by us. If we receive consideration from the suppliers in excess of our costs, we record any excess as a reduction of cost of goods sold.

31

Income Taxes. We account for income taxes in accordance with SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes. We must make judgments in determining our provision for income taxes. In the ordinary course of business, many transactions occur for which the ultimate tax outcome is uncertain at the time of the transaction. We adjust our income tax provision in the period in which we determine that it is probable that our actual results will differ from our estimates. Tax law and rate changes are reflected in the income tax provision in the period in which such changes are enacted.

At December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, we had $2.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, of net deferred tax assets related to net operating loss carry-forwards for state income tax purposes. The net operating loss carry-forwards at December 29, 2007 expire in years 2008 through 2026. Additionally, at December 29, 2007, we had certain state income tax credit carry-forwards, which expire in years 2018 through 2022. Our realization of these deferred tax assets is dependent upon future taxable income.

We evaluate the need to record valuation allowances that would reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is more likely than not to be realized. When assessing the need for valuation allowances, we project future taxable income and consider prudent and feasible tax planning strategies. Should a change in circumstances lead to a change in judgment about the realizability of deferred tax assets in future years, we would record valuation allowances in the period that the change in circumstances occurs, along with a corresponding charge to net earnings. Based on our evaluation, we recorded an allowance that is adequate to reduce the total deferred tax asset to an amount that will more likely than not be realized.

We adopted FIN 48 effective at the beginning of fiscal 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, we recognized a charge of approximately $0.5 million to beginning retained earnings.

Share-Based Compensation. On January 1, 2006, we adopted SFAS 123(R), which requires all share-based payments, including grants of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted shares and shares issued under the Stock Purchase Plan, to be recognized in the income statement as an operating expense, based on their grant date fair values. During 2007 and 2006, our total share-based compensation costs were $6.6 million and $4.9 million, respectively. At December 29, 2007 there was $4.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to outstanding options and stock appreciation rights and $10.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock, which has been reduced by an estimate for anticipated forfeitures.

We estimate the fair value of each option award on the date of grant using a Black-Scholes based option-pricing model. The Black-Scholes pricing model utilizes the following estimations and assumptions: expected volatility, expected option term, and the risk-free interest rate. Expected volatility is based on the historical fluctuations in the price of our stock. Expected option term is based on our historical option exercise history. The risk-free interest rate is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve at the date of grant. In addition, we estimate our expected forfeitures for restricted stock and stock options using our historical forfeiture data. Our expected forfeiture estimate is used to reduce our gross share-based compensation expense in accordance with SFAS 123(R). We estimate the fair value of stock appreciation rights granted using the Hull-White Lattice Binomial Model, which includes an assumption for the sub-optimal exercise factor. Changes in the above-mentioned Black-Scholes or Hull-White Lattice Binomial models inputs and/or forfeiture rate could have a significant impact on our earnings.

Management has discussed the development and selection of these critical accounting policies with the audit committee of the board of directors, and the audit committee has reviewed the above disclosure. Our financial statements contain other items that require estimation, but are not as critical as those discussed above. These include our calculations for bonus accruals, depreciation and amortization. Changes in estimates and assumptions used in these and other items could have an effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will apply when other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued a final staff position that delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. We do not anticipate that this pronouncement will have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. Subsequent changes

32

in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, this pronouncement will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes, measures and reports the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The pronouncement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We will adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and it will impact any acquisitions consummated subsequent to the effective date.

In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. We do not anticipate the pronouncement to have a material impact on our consolidated financial position and results of operations.

Quarterly Results and Seasonality

Set forth below is certain summary information with respect to our operations for the most recent eight fiscal quarters. All of the fiscal quarters set forth below had 13 weeks. Historically, the restaurant and foodservice business is seasonal, with lower profit in the first quarter. Consequently, we may experience lower net profit during the first quarter, depending on the timing of any future acquisitions. Management believes our quarterly net profit will continue to be impacted by the seasonality of the restaurant business.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

Our primary market risks are related to fluctuations in interest rates and changes in commodity prices. Our primary interest rate risk is from changing interest rates related to any borrowings under our Credit Facility. We currently manage this risk through a combination of fixed and floating rates on these obligations. As of December 29, 2007, our total debt of $9.6 million, including a capital lease obligation of $9.0 million, consisted entirely of fixed-rate debt. As of December 30, 2006, our total debt of $12.2 million, including a capital lease obligation of $9.0 million, consisted entirely of fixed-rate debt. In addition, our Receivables Facility has a floating rate based upon a 30-day commercial paper rate and our Credit Facility, under which we currently have no outstanding borrowings, is based on a spread above LIBOR. A 100 basis-point increase in market interest rates on all of our floating-rate debt and our Receivables Facility would result in a decrease in net earnings and cash flows of approximately $0.8 million per annum, holding other variables constant. See Notes 7 and 10 to the consolidated financial statements for further discussion of our debt and Receivables Facility, respectively.

Significant commodity price fluctuations for certain commodities that we purchase could have a material impact on our results of operations. In an attempt to manage our commodity price risk, our Broadline segment enters into contracts to purchase pre-established quantities of products in the normal course of business. Commitments that we have entered into to purchase products in our Broadline segment as of December 29, 2007, are included in the table of contractual obligations in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Financing Activities” in this Form 10-K.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”), which are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated

34

to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. We carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on the evaluation of these disclosure controls and procedures, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act. Our management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control over financial reporting, including that it may not prevent or detect misstatements on a timely basis. Accordingly, even effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Further, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time or become inadequate.

Our management assessed the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007. In making this assessment, management used the criteria described in Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management concluded that, as of December 29, 2007, our internal control over financial reporting is effective based on these criteria. Our independent registered public accounting firm, KPMG LLP, has issued an audit report on our internal control over financial reporting, which is included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 29, 2007 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Item 9B. Other Information.

Executive Officers

Pursuant to General Instruction G (3), certain information concerning our executive officers is included in Part I of this Form 10-K, under the caption “Executive Officers.”

Section 16(a) Beneficial Ownership Reporting

Section 16(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 requires the Company’s officers and directors, and persons who own more than ten percent of the Company’s Common Stock, to file reports of ownership and changes in ownership with the SEC. Officers, directors and greater than 10% shareholders are required by SEC regulations to furnish the Company with copies of all Section 16(a) forms they file.

Based solely on its review of the copies of such forms received by it, or written representations from certain reporting persons that no Forms 5 were required for those persons, the Company believes that all filing requirements applicable to its officers, directors and greater than 10% beneficial owners were complied with during the fiscal year ended December 29, 2007, except for one transaction for a sale of 91 shares by Mr. Paterak and one transaction for a sale of 2,192 shares by Mr. Spinner.

The Company’s Board of Directors has established an Audit Committee that is a separately designated standing audit committee established in accordance with Section 3(a)(58)(A) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, that operates pursuant to the terms of a Second Amended and Restated Charter which was amended and restated by the Board of Directors on April 13, 2005 (the “Audit Committee Charter”) and is available from the “Corporate Governance” section of the Company’s website at www.pfgc.com. Messrs. Goad, Graven and Stokely and Ms. Doswell, each of whom is independent as defined by the NASD listing standards and the rules and regulations of the SEC, comprise the Audit Committee. The Board of Directors of the Company has determined that the Audit Committee has two “audit committee financial experts,” as such term is defined under the rules and regulations of the SEC. These persons are Messrs. Graven and Stokely.

We have adopted a code of corporate conduct for all of our associates (including our principal executive officer, principal accounting officer, principal financial officer, and controller) and directors (the “Code of Corporate Conduct”), a copy of which has been posted on our website at pfgc.com. Please note that our website address is provided as an inactive textual reference only. We will make any legally required disclosures regarding amendments to, or waivers of, provisions of our Code of Corporate Conduct in accordance with the rules and regulations of the SEC and the National Association of Securities Dealers, Inc., and may make such disclosures on our website at www.pfgc.com.

Change in Control

On January 18, 2008, we entered into an agreement and plan of merger with VISTAR and Panda Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VISTAR. VISTAR is a food distributor specializing in the areas of Italian, pizza, vending, office coffee, concessions, fundraising and theater markets, controlled by private investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group with a minority interest held by a private investment fund affiliated with Wellspring Capital Management LLC.

At the effective time of the merger, each of our outstanding shares of common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $34.50 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding stock option and stock appreciation right, whether vested or unvested, shall become fully vested and exercisable and all restricted shares under our equity plans shall become fully vested. Each holder of an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right as of the effective time shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation of such stock option or stock appreciation right an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the difference between the $34.50 per share consideration and the applicable exercise price of such stock option or grant price of such stock appreciation right and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such stock option or the number of shares with respect to which such stock appreciation right was granted, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements and any appreciation cap set forth in such stock appreciation right. Consummation of the merger will constitute a change in control of us.

Consummation of the merger is subject to various closing conditions, including approval of the merger agreement by our shareholders, expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and other customary closing conditions. We expect to close the transaction during the second quarter of 2008.

Item 13. Certain Relationships and Related Transactions, and Director Independence.

Certain Transactions

The Board of Directors of the Company has adopted a policy which provides that any transaction between the Company and any of its directors, officers, or principal shareholders or affiliates thereof must be on terms no less favorable to the Company than could be obtained from unaffiliated parties and must be approved by vote of a majority of the appropriate committee of the Board of Directors, each of which is comprised solely of independent directors of the Company. Pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Audit Committee Charter, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for reviewing, approving or ratifying any transaction in accordance with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Director Independence

All of the members of the Board of Directors except Mr. Sledd and Mr. Spinner are “independent,” as defined by applicable law and the listing standards of the Nasdaq Stock Market. Our Audit, Compensation, and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees are composed entirely of independent directors.

Item 14. Principal Accountants’ Fees and Services.

Relationship with Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The following is a description of the fees billed or expected to be billed to the Company by KPMG LLP (KPMG), the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm, for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006.

Audit Fees

Audit fees include fees paid by the Company to KPMG in connection with the annual audit of the Company’s consolidated financial statements, KPMG’s review of the Company’s interim financial statements and KPMG’s review of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and its Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Audit fees also include fees for services performed by KPMG that are closely related to the audit and in many cases could only be provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. Such services include comfort letters and consents related to SEC registration statements and certain reports relating to the Company’s regulatory filings. The aggregate fees billed or expected to be billed to the Company by KPMG for audit services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 totaled $1,461,010 and $1,374,150, respectively.

40

Audit Related Fees

Audit services include employee benefit plan audits. The aggregate fees billed to the Company by KPMG for audit related services rendered to the Company and its subsidiaries for fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2006 totaled $20,500 and $18,500, respectively.

Tax Fees

Tax fees include corporate tax compliance and counsel and advisory services. KPMG did not perform any tax related services for the Company during fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006.

All Other Fees

KPMG did not perform any other services for the Company during fiscal 2007 or fiscal 2006.

Policy on Audit Committee Pre-Approval of Audit and Permissible Non-Audit Services of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

During the latter half of 2002, the Company reviewed its existing practices regarding the use of its independent registered public accounting firm to provide non-audit and consulting services, to ensure compliance with recent SEC proposals. The Company adopted a policy, effective as of January 1, 2003, which provides that the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm may provide certain non-audit services which do not impair the independent registered public accounting firm’s independence. In that regard, the Audit Committee must pre-approve all audit services provided to the Company, as well as all non-audit services provided by the Company’s independent registered public accounting firm. This policy is administered by the Company’s senior corporate financial management, which reports throughout the year to the Audit Committee. All of the foregoing audit related fees were pre-approved by the Audit Committee in accordance with this policy.

We have audited Performance Food Group Company’s (the Company) internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries as of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 29, 2007, and our report dated February 26, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors
Performance Food Group Company:

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the Company) as of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders’ equity and cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 29, 2007. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries as of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the fiscal years in the three-year period ended December 29, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

As discussed in Notes 2 and 13 to the consolidated financial statements, effective December 31, 2006 the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 48 “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” and effective January 1, 2006 the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment.”

We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission, and our report dated February 26, 2008, expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

PERFORMANCE FOOD GROUP COMPANY

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

1.	Description of Business
	Performance Food Group Company and subsidiaries (the “Company”) market and distribute over 68,000 national and proprietary brand food and non-food products to over 41,000 customers in the foodservice or “food-away-from-home” industry. The Company services both of the major customer types in the foodservice industry: “street” foodservice customers, which include independent restaurants, hotels, cafeterias, schools, healthcare facilities and other institutional customers, and multi-unit, or “chain” customers, which include regional and national family and casual dining and quick-service restaurants.
	The Company services these customers through two operating segments: broadline foodservice distribution (“Broadline”) and customized foodservice distribution (“Customized”). Broadline markets and distributes more than 65,000 national and proprietary brand food and non-food products to over 41,000 street and chain customers. The Broadline segment has 19 distribution facilities that design their own product mix, distribution routes and delivery schedules to accommodate the needs of a large number of customers whose individual purchases vary in size. Broadline’s customers are typically located within 250 miles of one of the Company’s Broadline distribution centers in the Eastern, Midwestern and Southern United States. Customized services casual and family dining chain restaurants. These customers generally prefer a centralized point of contact that facilitates item and menu changes, tailored distribution routing and customer service. Customized segment customers can be located up to 1,800 miles away from one of its eight distribution centers, located throughout the United States. The Customized segment also supplies products to some of its customer locations internationally.
	The fiscal years ended December 29, 2007, December 30, 2006 and December 31, 2005 are referred to herein as the years 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company uses a 52/53-week fiscal year ending on the Saturday closest to December 31. Consequently, the Company periodically has a 53-week fiscal year. None of the 2007, 2006 or 2005 fiscal years had 53 weeks.
	In 2005, the Company sold all its stock in the subsidiaries that comprised its fresh-cut segment to Chiquita Brands International, Inc. (“Chiquita”). In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (“SFAS 144”), depreciation and amortization were discontinued beginning February 23, 2005, the day after the Company entered into a definitive agreement to sell its fresh-cut segment. Accordingly, unless otherwise noted, all amounts presented in the accompanying consolidated financial statements, including all note disclosures, contain only information related to the Company’s continuing operations. See Note 3 for additional discontinued operations disclosures.
2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	Principles of Consolidation
	The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Performance Food Group Company and its majority-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with United States generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. The most significant estimates used by management are related to the accounting for the allowance for doubtful accounts, reserve for inventories, goodwill and other intangible assets, reserves for claims under self-insurance programs, vendor rebates and other promotional incentives, bonus accruals, depreciation, amortization, share-based compensation and income taxes. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Cash and Cash Equivalents
	The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

54

Accounts Receivable

Accounts receivable represent receivables from customers in the ordinary course of business, are recorded at the invoiced amount and do not bear interest. Receivables are recorded net of the allowance for doubtful accounts in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The Company evaluates the collectibility of its accounts receivable based on a combination of factors. The Company regularly analyzes its significant customer accounts, and when it becomes aware of a specific customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations to the Company, such as in the case of bankruptcy filings or deterioration in the customer’s operating results or financial position, the Company records a specific reserve for bad debt to reduce the related receivable to the amount it reasonably believes is collectible. The Company also records reserves for bad debt for other customers based on a variety of factors, including the length of time the receivables are past due, the financial health of the customer, macroeconomic considerations and historical experience. If circumstances related to specific customers change, the Company’s estimates of the recoverability of receivables could be further adjusted. At December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, the allowance for doubtful accounts was $11.2 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

Inventories

The Company’s inventories consist primarily of food and non-food products. The Company values inventories at the lower of cost or market using the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) method. At December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, the Company’s inventory balances of $329.7 million and $308.9 million, respectively, consisted primarily of finished goods. Costs in inventory include the purchase price of the product and freight charges to deliver the product to the Company’s warehouses. The Company maintains reserves for slow-moving, excess and obsolete inventories. These reserves are based upon inventory category, inventory age, specifically identified items and overall economic conditions.

Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost. Depreciation of property, plant and equipment, including capital lease assets, is calculated primarily using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, which range from three to 39 years, and is included in operating expenses on the consolidated statements of earnings.

When assets are retired or otherwise disposed of, the costs and related accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. The difference between the net book value of the asset and proceeds from disposition is recognized as a gain or loss. Routine maintenance and repairs are charged to expense as incurred, while costs of betterments and renewals are capitalized.

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

Goodwill and other intangible assets primarily include the cost of acquired subsidiaries in excess of the fair value of the tangible net assets recorded in conjunction with acquisitions. Other intangible assets include customer relationships, trade names, trademarks, patents and non-compete agreements. SFAS No. 142, Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets (“SFAS 142”), requires the Company to assess goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives for impairment annually, or more often if circumstances indicate. If impaired, the assets are written down to their fair values. To perform the assessment of goodwill, the Company compared the net assets of its Broadline segment to the discounted expected future operating cash flows of the segment. To perform the assessment of significant other non-amortized intangible assets, the Company compared the book value of the asset to the discounted expected future operating cash flows generated by the asset. The Company’s Customized segment has no goodwill or other intangible assets. Based on the Company’s assessments for 2007, 2006 and 2005, no impairment losses were recorded.

In accordance with SFAS 142, the Company ceased amortizing goodwill and other intangible assets with indefinite lives as of the beginning of 2002. Intangible assets with definite lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is computed over the estimated useful lives of the respective assets, generally three to 30 years.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets held and used by the Company are tested for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable. For purposes of evaluating the recoverability of long-lived assets, the Company compares the carrying value of the asset or asset group to the estimated, undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by the long-lived asset or asset group, as required by SFAS 144. Based on the Company’s assessments for 2007, 2006 and 2005, no impairment losses were recorded.

55

Insurance Program

The Company maintains a self-insured program covering portions of general and vehicle liability, workers’ compensation and group medical insurance. The amounts in excess of the self-insured levels are fully insured by third parties, subject to certain limitations and exclusions. The Company accrues its estimated liability for these self-insured programs, including an estimate for incurred but not reported claims, based on known claims and past claims history. These accruals are included in accrued expenses on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets. The provisions for insurance claims include estimates of the frequency and timing of claims occurrences, as well as the ultimate amounts to be paid.

Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes sales when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed and determinable, the product has been delivered to the customer and there is reasonable assurance of collection of the sales proceeds. Sales returns are recorded as reductions of sales.

Cost of Goods Sold

Cost of goods sold includes amounts paid to manufacturers for products sold, plus the cost of transportation necessary to bring the products to the Company’s facilities.

Operating Expenses

Operating expenses include warehouse, delivery, selling and administrative expenses, which include occupancy, insurance, depreciation, amortization, salaries and wages and employee benefits expenses.

Vendor Rebates and Other Promotional Incentives

The Company participates in various rebate and promotional incentives with its suppliers, primarily including volume and growth rebates, annual and multi-year incentives and promotional programs. Consideration received under these incentives is generally recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. However, in certain circumstances the consideration is recorded as a reduction of costs incurred by the Company. Consideration received may be in the form of cash and/or invoice deductions. Changes in the estimated amount of incentives to be received are treated as changes in estimates and are recognized in the period of change.

Consideration received for incentives that contain volume and growth rebates and annual and multi-year incentives are recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company systematically and rationally allocates the consideration for these incentives to each of the underlying transactions that results in progress by the Company toward earning the incentives. If the incentives are not probable and reasonably estimable, the Company records the incentives as the underlying objectives or milestones are achieved. The Company records annual and multi-year incentives when earned, generally over the agreement period. The Company uses current and historical purchasing data, forecasted purchasing volumes and other factors in estimating whether the underlying objectives or milestones will be achieved. Consideration received to promote and sell the supplier’s products is typically a reimbursement of costs incurred by the Company and is recorded as a reduction of the Company’s costs. If the amount of consideration received from the suppliers exceeds the Company’s costs, any excess is recorded as a reduction of cost of goods sold. The Company follows the requirements of Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 02-16, Accounting by a Customer (Including a Reseller) for Certain Consideration Received from a Vendor and EITF No. 03-10, Application of Issue No. 02-16 by Resellers to Sales incentives offered to Consumers by Manufacturers.

56

Stock Based Compensation

Effective January 1, 2006, in accordance with SFAS No. 123(R), Share-Based Payment (“SFAS 123(R)”), the Company began to recognize compensation expense in its consolidated statement of operations for all of its equity awards based on the grant date fair value of the awards. Stock option and stock appreciation rights pricing methods require the input of highly subjective assumptions, including the expected stock price volatility, expected term of the option and expected forfeitures. Compensation cost is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the related equity award.

The following table provides pro forma net earnings and earnings per share had the Company applied the fair value method of SFAS 123 for 2005:

(In thousands)	2005
Net earnings, as reported	$	247,138
Add: Stock-based compensation included in net earnings, net of related tax effects		621
Deduct: Total stock-based employee compensation expense determined under the fair value based method for all awards, net of related tax effects (includes approximately $7.3 million in 2005 related to the accelerated vesting of certain awards)		(10,328	)

Net earnings per common share:
Basic — as reported	$	5.72
Basic — pro forma	$	5.49

Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs

Shipping and handling fees billed to customers are included in net sales. Shipping and handling costs of $331.2 million, $309.8 million and $308.0 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, are recorded in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings.

The Company follows SFAS No. 109, Accounting for Income Taxes, which requires the use of the asset and liability method of accounting for deferred income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the expected future tax consequences of temporary differences between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their reported amounts. Future tax benefits, including net operating loss carry-forwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such benefits is more likely than not.

Reclassifications

Certain prior years’ amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements (SFAS No. 157). SFAS No. 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in GAAP, and requires enhanced disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS No. 157 will apply when other accounting pronouncements require or permit fair value measurements; it does not require new fair value measurements. This pronouncement is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, on February 12, 2008, the FASB issued a final staff position that delayed the effective date of SFAS No. 157 for nonfinancial assets and nonfinancial liabilities to fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate that the pronouncement will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.

57

	In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, The Fair Value Option of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities — Including an amendment of FASB Statement No. 115 (SFAS No. 159). SFAS No. 159 allows an entity the irrevocable option to elect fair value for the initial and subsequent measurement for certain financial assets and liabilities. Subsequent changes in fair value of these financial assets and liabilities would be recognized in earnings when they occur. SFAS No. 159 is effective for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007; however, the pronouncement will not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations at the date of adoption.
	In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (Revised) Business Combinations (SFAS No. 141R). SFAS No. 141R establishes principles and requirements for how the acquirer in a business combination recognizes, measures and reports the identifiable assets acquired, the liabilities assumed and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree. The pronouncement also provides guidance for recognizing and measuring the goodwill acquired in the business combination and determines what information to disclose to enable users of the financial statements to evaluate the nature and financial effects of the business combination. SFAS No. 141R is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company will adopt this pronouncement in the first quarter of fiscal 2009, and it will impact any acquisitions consummated subsequent to the effective date.
	In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160 Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements — an amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS No. 160). SFAS No. 160 establishes accounting and reporting standards for the noncontrolling interest in a subsidiary and for the deconsolidation of a subsidiary. This pronouncement is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. The Company does not anticipate the pronouncement to have a material impact on its consolidated financial position and results of operations.
3.	Discontinued Operations
	In 2005, the Company sold all its stock in the subsidiaries that comprised its fresh-cut segment to Chiquita for $860.6 million and recorded a net gain of approximately $186.8 million, net of approximately $77.0 million in net tax expense. Earnings from discontinued operations for 2005, excluding gain on sale, were $18.5 million, net of tax expense of $14.3 million. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force No. 87-24, Allocation of Interest to Discontinued Operations, the Company allocated to discontinued operations certain interest expense on debt that was required to be repaid as a result of the sale and a portion of interest expense associated with the Company’s revolving credit facility and subordinated convertible notes. The allocation percentage was calculated based on the ratio of net assets of the discontinued operations to consolidated net assets. Interest expense allocated to discontinued operations in 2005 totaled $3.2 million.
4.	Business Combinations
	During 2005, the Company paid approximately $2.7 million related to contractual obligations in the purchase agreements for companies it acquired in 2002 and 2004. Also during 2005, the Company paid approximately $1.3 million related to the settlement of an earnout agreement with the former owners of Middendorf Meat Company (“Middendorf Meat”); this amount was accrued, with a corresponding increase to goodwill, in 2004.

Net Earnings per Common Share

Basic net earnings per common share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net earnings available to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated using the weighted-average number of common shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding during the period. In computing diluted EPS, the average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased with the proceeds from the exercise of stock options under the treasury stock method.

59

A reconciliation of the numerators and denominators for the basic and diluted EPS computations is as follows:

	2007						2006						2005
(In thousands, except per share					Per - Share						Per - Share						Per - Share
amounts)	Earnings		Shares		Amount		Earnings		Shares		Amount		Earnings		Shares		Amount
Amounts reported for basic EPS	$	51,127		34,745	$	1.46	$	42,900		34,348	$	1.25	$	41,764		43,233	$	0.97
Dilutive effect of equity awards		—		411				—		421				—		562
Amounts reported for diluted EPS	$	51,127		35,156	$	1.45	$	42,900		34,769	$	1.23	$	41,764		43,795	$	0.95

	Options and stock appreciation rights to purchase approximately 2.2 million shares outstanding at December 29, 2007 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because of their anti-dilutive effect on EPS for 2007. The exercise prices of these options ranged from $28.02 to $41.15. Options to purchase approximately 2.1 million shares outstanding at December 30, 2006 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because of their anti-dilutive effect on EPS for 2006. The exercise prices of these options ranged from $28.02 to $41.15. Options to purchase approximately 1.5 million shares outstanding at December 31, 2005 were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS because of their anti-dilutive effect on EPS for 2005. The exercise prices of these options ranged from $29.40 to $41.15.
7.	Receivables Facility
	The Company maintains a receivables purchase facility (the “Receivables Facility”) under which PFG Receivables Corporation, a wholly owned, special-purpose subsidiary, sells an undivided interest in certain of the Company’s trade receivables. PFG Receivables Corporation was formed for the sole purpose of buying receivables generated by certain of the Company’s operating units and selling an undivided interest in those receivables to a financial institution. Under the Receivables Facility, certain of the Company’s operating units sell their accounts receivable to PFG Receivables Corporation, which in turn, subject to certain conditions, may from time to time sell an undivided interest in these receivables to a financial institution. The Company’s operating units continue to service the receivables on behalf of the financial institution at estimated market rates. Accordingly, the Company has not recognized a servicing asset or liability. In June 2007, the Company extended the term of the Receivables Facility through June 23, 2008.
	At December 29, 2007, securitized accounts receivable totaled $264.9 million, including $130.0 million sold to the financial institution and derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet. Total securitized accounts receivable includes the Company’s residual interest in accounts receivable (“Residual Interest”) of $134.9 million. At December 30, 2006, securitized accounts receivable totaled $250.8 million, including $130.0 million sold to the financial institution and derecognized from the consolidated balance sheet and the Residual Interest of $120.8 million. The Residual Interest represents the Company’s retained interest in receivables held by PFG Receivables Corporation. The Residual Interest was measured using the estimated discounted cash flows of the underlying accounts receivable based on estimated collections and a discount rate approximately equivalent to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. The loss on sale of the undivided interest in receivables of $7.7 million, $7.4 million and $5.2 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, is included in other expense, net, in the consolidated statements of earnings and represents the Company’s cost of securitizing those receivables with the financial institution.
	The Company records the sale of the undivided interest in accounts receivable to the financial institution in accordance with SFAS No. 140, Accounting for Transfers and Servicing of Financial Assets and Extinguishments of Liabilities. Accordingly, at the time the undivided interest in receivables is sold, the receivables are removed from the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company records a loss on the sale of the undivided interest in these receivables, which includes a discount, based upon the receivables’ credit quality and a financing cost for the financial institution, based upon a 30-day commercial-paper rate. At December 29, 2007, the rate under the Receivables Facility was 5.8% per annum.
	The key economic assumptions used to measure the Residual Interest at December 29, 2007 were a discount rate of 6% and an estimated life of approximately 1.5 months. At December 29, 2007, an immediate adverse change in the discount rate and estimated life of 10% and 20%, with other factors remaining constant, would reduce the fair value of the Residual Interest with a corresponding increase in the loss on sale of receivables but would not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

8. Concentration of Sales and Credit Risk

Two of the Company’s Customized segment customers, Outback Steakhouse (“Outback”) and CRBL Group (“Cracker Barrel”), account for a significant portion of the Company’s consolidated net sales. Net sales to Outback accounted for approximately 13% of consolidated net sales for each of 2007, 2006 and 2005. Net sales to Cracker Barrel accounted for approximately 8% of consolidated net sales for 2007 and 11% for both 2006 and 2005. The 2006 and 2005 periods included sales to Logan’s before it was divested by Cracker Barrel in December 2006. At both December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, amounts receivable from Outback represented 12% of consolidated gross trade accounts receivable. Amounts receivable from Cracker Barrel represented less than 10% of consolidated gross trade accounts receivable at both December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006.

Financial instruments that potentially expose the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of trade accounts receivable. The remainder of the Company’s customer base includes a large number of individual restaurants, national and regional chain restaurants and franchises and other institutional customers. The credit risk associated with accounts receivable is minimized by the Company’s large customer base and ongoing control procedures that monitor customers’ creditworthiness.

9. Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment as of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 consisted of the following:

Credit Facility

On October 7, 2005, the Company entered into a Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”) that provides the Company with up to $400 million in borrowing capacity, with a $100 million sublimit for letters of credit, under a senior revolving credit facility that expires on October 7, 2010 (the “Credit Facility”). The Company has the right,

61

without the consent of the lenders, to increase the total amount of the facility to $600 million. Borrowings under the Credit Agreement bear interest, at the Company’s option, at the Base Rate (defined as the greater of the Administrative Agent’s prime rate or the overnight federal funds rate plus 0.50%) or LIBOR plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.25%. The Credit Agreement also provides for a fee ranging between 0.125% and 0.225% of unused commitments. The Credit Agreement requires the maintenance of certain financial ratios, as described in the Credit Agreement, and contains customary events of default. At December 29, 2007, the Company had no borrowings outstanding, $48.4 million of letters of credit outstanding and $351.6 million available under the Credit Facility, subject to compliance with customary borrowing conditions.

Industrial Revenue Bonds

In 1997 and 1999, prior to its acquisition by the Company, Middendorf Meat issued tax-exempt private activity revenue bonds totaling $3.7 million and $2.0 million, respectively. In January 2007, the Company paid off the remaining principal balance on these bonds.

Maturities of long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligation, are as follows:

(In thousands)
2008	$	64
2009		68
2010		73
2011		79
2012		74
Thereafter		235
Total long-term debt, excluding capital lease obligation	$	593

Capital Lease Obligation

During 2006, the Company entered into a lease at one of its Broadline operating companies that is being accounted for as a capital lease in accordance with SFAS No. 13, Accounting for Leases; as such the present value of the minimum lease payments was recorded as a liability and corresponding asset, which is included in property, plant and equipment on the consolidated balance sheet. The present value of the minimum lease payments at lease inception was $9.0 million and total interest expense over the life of the lease will be approximately $20.5 million. As of December 29, 2007, the future minimum lease payments under the capital lease, including interest payments, were $0.9 million in each of 2008, 2009, 2010 and 2011, $1.0 million in 2012 and $23.0 million thereafter, which includes $9.0 million of principal; as such, the capital lease obligation is classified as a non-current liability at December 29, 2007.

11. Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, outstanding checks in excess of deposits, trade accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate their fair values due to the relatively short maturities of those instruments. The value of the Company’s Receivables Facility not recorded on its consolidated balance sheets approximates fair value due to the variable nature of its interest rates. The Company’s Residual Interest in the Receivables Facility is recorded using the estimated discounted cash flows of the underlying accounts receivable, based on estimated collections and a discount rate approximately equivalent to the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Therefore, the carrying amount of the Residual Interest approximates fair value. See Note 7 for more information about the Receivables Facility.

62

12. Leases

The Company leases various warehouse and office facilities and certain equipment under long-term operating lease agreements that expire at various dates. The Company expenses operating lease costs, including any rent increases, rent holidays or landlord concessions, on a straight-line basis over the lease term. At December 29, 2007, the Company is obligated under non-cancelable operating lease agreements to make future minimum lease payments as follows:

(In thousands)
2008	$	37,275
2009		32,234
2010		25,277
2011		21,181
2012		16,249
Thereafter		113,459
Total minimum lease payments	$	245,675

Total rent expense for operating leases was $48.3 million in both 2007 and 2006 and $53.6 million in 2005.

The Company has residual value guarantees to its lessors under certain of its operating leases. These leases and related guarantees are discussed in Note 18. These residual value guarantees are not included in the above table of future minimum lease payments.

Sale-leaseback

During 2007, the Company entered into a substitution of collateral and sale-leaseback transaction involving one of its Broadline operating facilities and one of the Company’s former fresh-cut segment operating facilities. This transaction resulted in the Company being released from a guarantee of future lease payments on the former fresh-cut segment facility that was sold to Chiquita. The Company’s Broadline operating facility was sold to a third party and leased back to the Company pursuant to a lease agreement with an initial term expiring in 2026. This transaction resulted in a gain of approximately $2.9 million. Included within the gain is a $2.5 million liability that was established in connection with the Company’s guarantee. In accordance with SFAS No. 98, Accounting for Leases: Sale-Leaseback Transactions Involving Real Estate, the gain is being amortized over the life of the lease.

13. Income Taxes

Income tax expense for continuing operations consisted of the following:

(In thousands)	2007		2006			2005
Current:
Federal	$	16,185	$	25,063		$	18,674
State		1,637		5,145			3,385

		12,652		(4,566	)		3,269
Total income tax expense	$	30,474	$	25,642		$	25,328

63

The Company’s effective income tax rates for continuing operations for 2007, 2006 and 2005 were 37.3%, 37.4% and 37.8%, respectively. Actual income tax expense differs from the amount computed by applying the applicable U.S. federal corporate income tax rate of 35% to earnings before income taxes as follows:

(In thousands)	2007			2006			2005
Federal income taxes computed at statutory rate	$	28,560		$	23,990		$	23,482
Increase (decrease) in income taxes resulting from:

Other, net		(276	)		129			(5	)
Total income tax expense	$	30,474		$	25,642		$	25,328

Deferred income taxes are recorded based upon the tax effects of differences between the financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities and available tax loss and credit carry-forwards. Temporary differences and carry-forwards that created significant deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, were as follows:

(In thousands)	2007			2006
Deferred tax assets:
Allowance for doubtful accounts	$	1,514		$	2,853
Inventories		5,578			5,673
Accrued employee benefits		7,839			7,951
Self-insurance reserves		3,804			3,868

Net operating loss carry-forwards		3,205			3,816
State income tax credit carry-forwards		402			247
Stock options		3,815			1,496
Other accrued expenses		4,488			4,826
Total gross deferred tax assets		31,608			33,571
Less: Valuation allowance		(651	)		(999	)
Total net deferred tax assets		30,957			32,572
Deferred tax liabilities:
Property, plant and equipment		20,387			16,704
Basis difference in intangible assets		40,383			35,347
Prepaid expenses		3,605			690
Other		3,066			3,595
Total deferred tax liabilities		67,441			56,336
Net deferred tax liability	$	36,484		$	23,764

The net deferred tax liability is presented in the December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheets as follows:

(In thousands)	2007		2006
Current deferred tax asset	$	22,463	$	24,818
Non-current deferred tax liability		58,947		48,582
Net deferred tax liability	$	36,484	$	23,764

The state income tax credit carry-forwards expire in years 2018 through 2022. The net operating loss carry-forwards expire in years 2008 through 2026. In 2007, the Company reduced the valuation allowance against state net operating loss carry-forwards by $0.3 million. The Company believes that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax assets will be realized.

The Company adopted the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes, an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109” (“FIN 48”), effective at the beginning of fiscal 2007. As a

64

result of the adoption of FIN 48, the Company recognized a charge of approximately $0.5 million to its beginning retained earnings balance. The following table summarizes the activity related to unrecognized tax benefits:

(In thousands)	Total
Balance at adoption	$	6,942
Settlements with taxing authorities		(755	)
Expiration of statutes of limitations		(1,718	)
Balance at December 29, 2007	$	4,469

Included in the balance at December 29, 2007, is $2.1 million ($1.4 million net of federal tax benefit) of unrecognized tax benefits that could affect the effective tax rate for continuing operations.

It is the Company’s continuing practice to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. Approximately $0.9 million and $0.8 million were accrued for interest related to uncertain tax positions at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively.

As of December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, substantially all federal, state and local and foreign income tax matters have been concluded for years through 2003. It is reasonably possible that a decrease of $1.1 million ($0.7 million net of federal tax benefit) in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits, primarily related to intercompany transactions and to the timing of expense recognition, may occur within the next twelve months due to statutes of limitations expirations, filing of amended returns and closing and/or settling of audits. Of this amount, up to $1.1 million ($0.8 million net of federal tax benefit) could affect the effective tax rate of continuing operations.

14. Shareholders’ Equity

Share Repurchase and Retirement

In 2006, the Company completed purchases under its $100 million repurchase program announced in August 2005, resulting in the repurchase of approximately 1.5 million additional shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $25.93 to $29.61, for a total purchase price of $39.6 million, including transaction costs.

In 2005, with the proceeds generated from the sale of the companies comprising its former fresh-cut segment, the Company repurchased approximately 12.2 million shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $27.55 to $30.17, for a total purchase price of $361.7 million, including transaction costs.

15. Retirement Plans

The Company sponsors the Performance Food Group Company Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan (the “Savings Plan”). The Savings Plan consists of three components: a leveraged employee stock ownership plan (the “ESOP”), a defined contribution plan covering substantially all full-time employees (the “401(k) Plan”) and a profit sharing plan (the “Profit Sharing Plan”).

In 1988, the ESOP acquired approximately 3.6 million shares of the Company’s common stock from existing shareholders, financed with assets transferred from predecessor plans and the proceeds of a note payable to a commercial bank (the “ESOP Loan”). During 2003, the Company made its final loan payment on the 15-year ESOP Loan and the final allocation of shares were released from the trust. The ESOP will continue to maintain participant balances.

Employees participating in the 401(k) Plan may elect to contribute between 1% and 50% of their qualified compensation, up to a maximum dollar amount as specified by the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company matched employee contributions as follows: 200% of the first 1%, 100% of the next 1% and 50% of the next 2%, for a total match of 4%. A portion of this match, 50% of the first 1% of employee contributions, was made by the Company in shares of its common stock instead of in cash. Matching contributions totaled $9.9 million, $9.1 million, and $8.4 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively. The Company, at the discretion of its Board of Directors, may make additional contributions to the 401(k) Plan. The Company made no discretionary contributions under the 401(k) Plan in 2007, 2006 or 2005.

In 2004, the Company added the Profit Sharing Plan to the Savings Plan. The Company makes contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan based on the Company’s performance. The Profit Sharing Plan’s requirements for eligibility, allocation

65

methodology, and vesting requirements are structured similar to the ESOP. The contributions are at the discretion of the Board of Directors and will be made in the Company’s common stock. The Company expensed approximately $0.8 million, $0.7 million and $0.4 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, associated with this plan.

In 2004, the Company implemented a non-qualified Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan (“SERP”) covering certain key executives. Under the plan, as amended and restated, the Company will make defined contributions to the SERP based on the participant’s qualified compensation and the Company’s performance. Annually, the Company’s Board of Directors determines the appropriate performance threshold. In 2007, 2006 and 2005, the Company recorded expense of $0.4 million, $0.3 million and $0.5 million, respectively, related to the SERP.

16. Stock Based Compensation

Prior to January 1, 2006, the Company accounted for its stock incentive plans and the Performance Food Group Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “Stock Purchase Plan”) using the intrinsic value method of accounting provided under the Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (“APB 25”), and related interpretations, as permitted by SFAS No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation (“SFAS 123”), under which no compensation expense was recognized for stock option grants and issuances of stock pursuant to the Stock Purchase Plan. Share-based compensation was a pro forma disclosure in the financial statement footnotes and continues to be provided for periods prior to fiscal 2006.

Effective January 1, 2006, the Company adopted the fair value recognition provisions of SFAS 123(R) using the modified-prospective transition method. Under this transition method, compensation cost recognized in fiscal 2006 includes: 1) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted through December 31, 2005, but for which the requisite service period had not been completed as of December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the original provisions of SFAS 123 and 2) compensation cost for all share-based payments granted subsequent to December 31, 2005, based on the grant date fair value estimated in accordance with the provisions of SFAS 123(R). Results for prior years have not been restated.

On February 22, 2005, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors voted to accelerate the vesting of certain unvested options to purchase approximately 1.8 million shares of the Company’s common stock held by certain employees and officers under the 1993 Employee Stock Incentive Plan (the “1993 Plan”) and the 2003 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2003 Plan”), which had exercise prices greater than the closing price of the Company’s common stock on February 22, 2005. These options were accelerated such that upon the adoption of SFAS 123(R), effective January 1, 2006, the Company would not be required to incur any compensation cost related to the accelerated options. The Company believes this decision was in the best interest of the Company and its shareholders. This acceleration resulted in the Company not being required to recognize any compensation cost in its consolidated statement of earnings for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2005, as all stock options that were accelerated had exercise prices that were greater than the market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of modification; however, the Company was required to recognize all unvested compensation cost in its pro forma SFAS 123 disclosure in the period of acceleration. The pro forma expense of the acceleration was approximately $7.3 million, net of tax, which represents all future compensation expense of the accelerated stock options on February 22, 2005, the date of modification.

The Company provides compensation benefits to employees and non-employee directors under several share-based payment arrangements, including the 2003 Plan and the Stock Purchase Plan.

Stock Option and Incentive Plans

In May 2003, the 2003 Plan was approved by shareholders. The 2003 Plan replaced the 1993 Plan and the Directors’ Plan, defined below. The 2003 Plan set aside approximately 2,325,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, including an aggregate of approximately 125,000 shares carried over from the 1993 Plan and the Directors’ Plan, defined below.

The 2003 Plan provides for the award of equity-based incentives to officers, key employees, directors and consultants of the Company. Awards under the 2003 Plan may be in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, deferred stock, stock purchase rights or other stock-based awards. Stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2003 Plan have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the date of grant. The stock options and stock appreciation rights granted under the 2003 Plan typically have terms of 10 years and vest four years from the date of grant. At December 29, 2007, approximately 1,466,000 stock options and stock appreciation rights were outstanding under the 2003 Plan, approximately 881,000 of which were exercisable. At December 30, 2006, approximately 1,302,000 stock options were outstanding under the 2003 Plan, approximately 928,000 of which were exercisable. There were no stock appreciation rights outstanding as of December 30, 2006. Restricted stock is granted under the 2003 Plan and

66

typically vests four years from the date of grant. Approximately 629,000 and 443,000 shares of restricted stock were issued but unvested at December 29, 2007 and December 30, 2006, respectively. No restricted shares were issued prior to 2005. The expense associated with stock options, stock appreciation rights and restricted stock is recognized ratably over the vesting period, less expected forfeitures. Approximately $1.9 million and $1.3 million of stock compensation expense was recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings in 2007 and 2006, respectively, for stock option and stock appreciation rights grants and $4.4 million, $2.8 million and $1.0 million in 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, for restricted stock grants. There was no stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings in 2005 for stock option grants.

The Company also sponsored the 1993 Outside Directors Stock Option Plan (the “Directors’ Plan”). A total of 210,000 shares were authorized for issuance under the Directors’ Plan. The Directors’ Plan provided for an initial grant to each non-employee member of the board of directors of 10,500 options and an annual grant of 5,000 options at the current market price on the date of grant. As discussed above, in May 2003 the Directors’ Plan was replaced by the 2003 Plan. Options granted under the Directors’ Plan have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock on the grant date, vest one year from the date of grant and have terms of 10 years from the grant date. At December 29, 2007, approximately 86,000 options were outstanding under the Directors’ Plan, all of which were exercisable. At December 30, 2006, approximately 101,000 options were outstanding under the Director’s Plan, all of which were exercisable.

The 1993 Plan provided for the award of up to 5,650,000 shares of equity based incentives to officers, key employees and consultants of the Company. As discussed above, in May 2003 the 1993 Plan was replaced by the 2003 Plan. Stock options granted under the 1993 Plan have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s common stock at the grant date. The stock options granted under the 1993 Plan have terms of 10 years and vest four years from the date of grant. At December 29, 2007, approximately 1,161,000 options were outstanding under the 1993 Plan, approximately 1,136,000 of which were exercisable. At December 30, 2006, approximately 1,460,000 options were outstanding under the 1993 Plan, approximately 1,435,000 of which were exercisable.

Valuation of Stock Options and Stock Appreciation Rights

During 2007, the Company granted approximately 225,000 stock appreciation rights under the Company’s 2003 Plan. The stock appreciation rights were granted with an exercise price of $29.46 and had a capped maximum appreciation of $60 per right, and are to be settled in the Company’s common stock. The Company utilized a Hull-White Lattice Binomial Model, adjusted by the application of a Black-Scholes Merton Model for the capped portion of the award. The grant date fair value of these awards was $13.65, which was calculated using the following assumptions:

	2007
Stock price (both Lattice and Black-Scholes)	$	29.46
Exercise price (Lattice)	$	29.46
Exercise price (Black-Scholes)	$	89.46
Volatility (Lattice)		31.31	%
Volatility (Black-Scholes)		27.69	%
Dividend Yield		0	%
Sub-optimal exercise factor		2.83
Risk-free interest rate (4 years)		4.34	%
Risk-free interest rate (10 years)		4.59	%
Expected term - Black Scholes (in years)		4
Expected term - Lattice (in years)		10

For 2006 and 2005, the Company granted stock options under the Company’s 2003 Plan. The fair value of each option award is estimated as of the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model. Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The Company utilizes historical data to estimate expected terms of stock options; separate groups of employees that have similar historical exercise behavior are considered separately for valuation purposes. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The weighted average assumptions for the periods indicated were as follows:

	2006			2005
Dividend yield		0	%		0	%
Expected volatility		38.3	%		38.1	%
Risk-free interest rate		4.9	%		4.0	%
Expected term (in years)		8.3			8.0
Weighted average grant date fair value of stock options	$	15.99		$	13.99
Weighted average grant date fair value of restricted stock	$	30.93		$	28.18

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

The Company maintains the Stock Purchase Plan, which permits eligible employees to invest, through periodic payroll deductions, in the Company’s common stock at 85% of the market price on the last day of the purchase period, as defined in the plan document. The Company is authorized to issue 1,725,000 shares under the Stock Purchase Plan, of which approximately 310,000 shares remained available at December 29, 2007. Purchases under the Stock Purchase Plan are made twice a year on January 15^th and July 15^th. Shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan totaled approximately 99,000, 177,000 and 247,000 during 2007, 2006 and 2005, respectively, and the grant date weighted average fair values of the right to purchase a share of common stock under the Stock Purchase Plan were estimated to be $4.61, $4.56 and $5.24, respectively. Stock compensation expense recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings was approximately $0.3 million in 2007 and $0.8 million in 2006 for the Stock Purchase Plan. There was no stock compensation cost recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings in 2005 for the Stock Purchase Plan.

All Share-Based Compensation Plans

The total share-based compensation cost recognized in operating expenses in the consolidated statements of earnings in 2007, 2006 and 2005 was $6.6 million, $4.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively, which represents the expense associated with our stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and shares purchased under the Stock Purchase Plan.

69

At December 29, 2007, there was approximately $4.9 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock options and stock appreciation rights and $10.3 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to restricted stock, which will be recognized over the remaining weighted average vesting periods of 2.4 years each.

The adoption of SFAS 123(R) resulted in a modification of the treasury stock method calculation utilized to compute the dilutive effect of stock options. Under SFAS 123(R), the amount of compensation cost attributed to future services and not yet recognized and the amount of tax benefits that would be credited to shareholders’ equity assuming exercise of outstanding stock options is included in the determination of proceeds under the treasury stock method.

Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123(R), in accordance with SFAS No. 95, Statement of Cash Flows, the Company presented all tax benefits resulting from the exercise of stock options as operating cash flows in the consolidated statements of cash flows. In accordance with the requirements of SFAS 123(R), the Company began presenting the tax benefit in excess of the tax benefit related to the compensation cost incurred as financing activities in the consolidated statements of cash flows during 2006.

18. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company’s Broadline and Customized segments had outstanding contracts and purchase orders for capital projects totaling $18.1 million and $0.6 million, respectively, at December 29, 2007. Amounts due under these contracts were not included on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

The Company has entered into numerous operating leases, including leases of buildings, equipment, tractors and trailers. In certain of the Company’s leases of tractors, trailers and other vehicles and equipment, the Company has provided residual value guarantees to the lessors. Circumstances that would require the Company to perform under the guarantees include either (1) the Company’s default on the leases with the leased assets being sold for less than the specified residual values in the lease agreements, or (2) the Company’s decisions not to purchase the assets at the end of the lease terms combined with the sale of the assets, with sales proceeds less than the residual value of the leased assets specified in the lease agreements. The Company’s residual value guarantees under these operating lease agreements typically range between 4% and 20% of the value of the leased assets at inception of the lease. These leases have original terms ranging from two to eight years and expiration dates ranging from 2008 to 2015. As of December 29, 2007, the undiscounted maximum amount of potential future payments under the Company’s guarantees totaled $7.3 million, which would be mitigated by the fair value of the leased assets at lease expiration. The assessment as to whether it is probable that the Company will be required to make payments under the terms of the guarantees is based upon the Company’s actual and expected loss experience. Consistent with the requirements of FASB Interpretation No. (“FIN”) 45, Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others, the Company has recorded $80,000 of the $7.3 million of potential future guarantee payments on its consolidated balance sheet as of December 29, 2007.

In November 2003, certain of the former shareholders of PFG – Empire Seafood, a wholly owned subsidiary which the Company acquired in 2001, brought a lawsuit against the Company in the Circuit Court, Eleventh Judicial Circuit in Dade County, seeking unspecified damages and alleging breach of their employment and earnout agreements. Additionally, the former shareholders seek to have their non-compete agreements declared invalid. The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and has asserted counterclaims against the former shareholders. The Company currently believes that this lawsuit will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.

70

	On January 18, 2008, January 22, 2008 and January 29, 2008, respectively, three of the Company’s shareholders filed three separate class action lawsuits against the Company and its individual directors in the Chancery Court for the State of Tennessee, 20th Judicial District at Nashville styled as Crescente v. Performance Food Group Company, et al., Case No. 08-140-IV; Neel v. Performance Food Group Company, et al., Case No. 08-151-II; and Friends of Ariel Center for Policy Research v. Sledd, et al. Case No. 08-224-II. The allegations in all three suits arise from the Company’s January 18, 2008, public announcement of entering into a certain merger agreement by and among VISTAR Corporation, Panda Acquisition, Inc. and the Company. VISTAR Corporation is a foodservice distributor controlled by affiliates of The Blackstone Group with a minority interest held by an affiliate of Wellspring Capital Management LLC. Two of the lawsuits also include The Blackstone Group and Wellspring Capital Management as named defendants, and one includes VISTAR Corporation as a named defendant. All three lawsuits were filed in the Chancery Court for the State of Tennessee, specifically in the 20th Judicial District at Nashville.
	Each complaint asserts claims for breach of fiduciary duties against the Company’s directors, alleging, among other things, that the consideration to be paid to the Company’s shareholders pursuant to the merger agreement is unfair and inadequate, and not the result of a full and adequate sale process, and that the Company’s directors engaged in “self-dealing”. Two of the complaints also allege aiding and abetting or undue control claims against The Blackstone Group, Wellspring Capital Management LLC and VISTAR. The complaints each seek, among other relief, class certification, an injunction preventing completion of the merger and attorney’s fees and expenses.
	By order entered January 28, 2008, the Neel case was transferred to Chancery Court Part IV where the Crescente case is pending. An agreed order has entered by the Court on February 14, 2008 consolidating the Crescente and Neel cases and appointing counsel for those plaintiffs as co-lead counsel for the renamed consolidated matter, In re: Performance Food Group Co. Shareholders Litigation, Case No. 08-140-IV. On February 22, 2008, a motion to reconsider the consolidation order was filed by Friends of Ariel Center for Policy Research. That motion is scheduled to be heard on March 7, 2008. Discovery requests have been served by the plaintiffs on the defendants and various third parties.
	The Company intends to vigorously defend itself and its directors against these suits. The Company currently believes these lawsuits will not have a materially adverse effect on its financial condition or its results of operations.
	From time to time, the Company is involved in various legal proceedings and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the outcome of such proceedings and litigation currently pending will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s consolidated financial condition or results of operations.
19.	Segment Information
	The Company markets and distributes food and non-food products to customers in the foodservice, or “food-away-from-home,” industry. The Company has aggregated its subsidiaries into two segments, as defined by SFAS No. 131, Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information (“SFAS 131”) based upon their respective economic characteristics. The Broadline segment markets and distributes food and non-food products to both street and chain customers. The Customized segment services family and casual dining chain restaurants nationwide and internationally. As discussed in Note 3, the sale of the Company’s fresh-cut segment was completed in 2005 and, as such, it is accounted for as a discontinued operation. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 2. Inter-segment sales represent sales between the segments, which are eliminated in consolidation.

	On January 18, 2008, the Company entered into an agreement and plan of merger with VISTAR Corporation, a Colorado corporation (“VISTAR”) and Panda Acquisition, Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of VISTAR. VISTAR is a food distributor specializing in the areas of Italian, pizza, vending, office coffee, concessions, fundraising and theater markets, controlled by private investment funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group with a minority interest held by an affiliate of Wellspring Capital Management LLC.
	At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock will be cancelled and converted into the right to receive $34.50 in cash, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements. At the effective time of the merger, each outstanding stock option and stock appreciation right, whether vested or unvested, shall become fully vested and exercisable and all restricted shares under the Company’s equity plans shall become fully vested. Each holder of an outstanding stock option or stock appreciation right as of the effective time shall be entitled to receive in exchange for the cancellation of such stock option or stock appreciation right an amount in cash equal to the product of (i) the difference between the $34.50 per share consideration and the applicable exercise price of such stock option or grant price of such stock appreciation right and (ii) the aggregate number of shares issuable upon exercise of such stock option or the number of shares with respect to which such stock appreciation right was granted, without interest and subject to applicable withholding requirements and any appreciation cap set forth in such stock appreciation right.
	Consummation of the merger is subject to various closing conditions, including approval of the merger agreement by the Company’s shareholders, expiration or termination of applicable waiting periods under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, and other customary closing conditions. The Company expects to close the transaction during the second quarter of 2008. In connection with the proposed merger, the Company suspended the offering period under its Stock Purchase Plan on January 18, 2008. No new shares will be issued under this plan if the merger is consummated. See Note 16 for details of this plan.
	Subsequent to the announcement of the planned merger, three of the Company’s shareholders filed three separate class action lawsuits against the Company and its directors. See Note 18 for additional details.
	Magee, Mississippi Broadline Facility Closing
	On January 9, 2008, the Company’s Board of Directors authorized the closure of the Magee, Mississippi Broadline distribution facility. In connection with the closure of this facility, the Company expects to incur one-time costs during 2008 in the range of approximately $8 million to $10 million on a pre-tax basis. The Company expects that the facility will be closed on or about March 10, 2008. Within the range of expected costs, the Company anticipates that it will incur costs of between $1.5 million and $2.0 million related to severance pay and stay bonuses; $5.0 million to $6.0 million related to real estate valuation reserves and facility lease payments and $1.5 million to $2.0 million for other expenses that include the write-down of assets and costs to consolidate facilities. The Company estimates approximately $2.0 million to $2.5 million of this charge will be cash expenditures incurred during 2008.

6.06 Alternate Election

     Notwithstanding a Participant’s elections under Plan sections 6.01 and 6.02, a Participant may elect on a payment election form at the time he first becomes eligible under the Plan to have his Post-2004 Account under the Plan paid in a lump sum within 30 days following (i) the Participant’s Termination of Employment within two years following a Change in Control or (ii) the Participant’s involuntary (including for disability) or voluntary Termination of Employment following a reduction in Participant’s base salary or bonus, any material reduction in the level of responsibility, position (including status, office, title, reporting relationships or working conditions), authority or duties of the Participant or any relocation to which the Participant has not agreed to an office of the Company or Adopting Employer more than 35 miles from the office where the Participant was located or any increase in the Participant’s required travel amounting to a constructive relocation; provided, however, in the event of an individual who is a Key Employee on his date of Termination of Employment, Plan section 6.01(f) or 6.02(c), as applicable, shall apply solely with respect to his Termination Account, Special Purpose Account and Company Match Account.

Performance Food Group Company

6.08 Distribution of Benefit When Distributee Cannot Be Located

     The Administrator shall make all reasonable attempts to determine the identity and/or whereabouts of a Participant or a Participant’s Beneficiary entitled to benefits under the Plan, including the mailing by certified mail of a notice to the last known address shown on the Company’s or the Administrator’s records. If the Administrator is unable to locate such a person entitled to benefits hereunder, or if there has been no claim made for such benefits, the Company shall continue to hold the benefit due such person.

Beneficiary Designation

     A Participant may designate a Beneficiary and a contingent Beneficiary. Any Beneficiary designation made hereunder shall be effective only if properly signed and dated by the Participant and delivered to the Administrator prior to the time of the Participant’s death. The most recent Beneficiary designation received by the Administrator shall be the effective Beneficiary designation for all Plan Years and shall supercede all prior Beneficiary designations unless specifically designated otherwise. Any Beneficiary designation hereunder shall remain effective until changed or revoked hereunder.

     A Beneficiary designation may be changed by the Participant at any time, or from time to time, by filing a new designation in writing with the Administrator.

     If the Participant dies without having designated a Beneficiary or a contingent Beneficiary or if the Participant dies and the Beneficiary and contingent Beneficiary so named by the Participant have both predeceased the Participant, then the Participant’s estate shall be deemed to be his Beneficiary. In the event that the Participant dies and the Beneficiary so named by the Participant has predeceased the Participant, then the surviving contingent Beneficiary, if any, shall be the Beneficiary.

     If a Beneficiary of the Participant shall survive the Participant but shall die before the Participant’s entire benefit under the Plan has been distributed, then the unpaid balance thereof shall be distributed to any other beneficiary named by the deceased Beneficiary to receive his interest or, if none, to the estate of the deceased Beneficiary.

APPENDIX A
to the
PERFORMANCE FOOD GROUP COMPANY
EXECUTIVE DEFERRED COMPENSATION PLAN

     This Appendix A describes those provisions of the Plan that govern a Participant’s Pre-2005 Account.

ARTICLE I
Deferral of Payment of Compensation and
Establishment of Deferred Compensation Account

     1.1 Establishment of Deferred Compensation Accounts. The Committee and the Company or Adopting Employer established an unfunded individual “Deferred Compensation Account” consisting of book entries for each Participant to which Deferral Contributions made prior to January 1, 2005, plus earnings and losses thereon, are credited.

     1.2 Accrual of Earnings. The Committee and the Company or Adopting Employer shall credit each Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account with additional amounts to represent hypothetical investment earnings (including losses) on the amounts credited to the Deferred Compensation Account pursuant to Section 1.1. Such hypothetical investment earnings shall continue to accrue until the allocation date as of which benefits are determined pursuant to Section 1.1. Pursuant to Section 1.3, a Participant shall have the right to designate how the amounts in his Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to be invested in hypothetical investment options selected by the Company. Additions credited to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be based on the performance of the hypothetical investment options designated by the Participant.

     1.3 Deemed Investment Directions. Subject to such limitations as may from time to time be required by law or imposed by the Committee or the Company, and subject to such operating rules and procedures as may be imposed from time to time by the Committee or the Company, prior to the date on which a direction will become effective, a Participant may communicate to the Company a direction as to how his Deferred Compensation Account should be deemed to be invested (in whole percent multiples) among the hypothetical investment options. Such direction may separately designate hypothetical investments (i) for that portion of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account attributable to amounts that will be credited to the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account prior to the designation date on which such direction shall become effective, and (ii) for that portion of the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account attributable to amounts that will be credited to the Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account after the designation date on which such direction shall become effective. Such direction shall become effective subject to the following rules and procedures:

     (a) Any initial hypothetical investment direction shall be in writing, on a form supplied by and filed with the Committee, and shall be effective as of the

-27-

Performance Food Group Company
Executive Deferred Compensation Plan
Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 2007

designation date determined by the Committee. Any subsequent hypothetical investment direction shall be made on-line using the Todd Organization’s Website, and shall be effective as of the end of the business day in which the direction is made, unless the direction is made on a day the applicable market is closed, in which case the direction shall be effective as of the following business day.

     (b) (1) All amounts credited to a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account shall be deemed to be invested in accordance with the then effective hypothetical investment direction. (2) As of the effective date of any new hypothetical investment direction, all or a portion of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account at that date shall be reallocated among the designated hypothetical investment options according to the new hypothetical investment directions and according to the percentages specified in the new hypothetical investment direction unless and until a subsequent hypothetical investment direction becomes effective.

     (c) If the Committee receives a hypothetical investment direction that it finds to be incomplete, unclear, or improper, the Participant’s hypothetical investment direction then in effect shall remain in effect (or, in the case of a deficiency in an initial hypothetical investment direction, the Participant shall be deemed to have filed no hypothetical investment direction) until the next designation date, unless the Committee provides for, and permits the application of, corrective action prior thereto.

     (d) If the Committee possesses at any time directions as to the hypothetical investment of less than all of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account, the Participant shall be deemed to have directed that the undesignated portion of the Account be deemed to be invested in any investment option selected by the Committee, and the Committee shall not be liable for the investment option(s) selected by it in such circumstances.

     Neither the Committee, the Company, nor any Adopting Employer shall be liable for any losses or damages of any kind relating to the hypothetical investment of a Participant’s Deferred Compensation Account hereunder

ARTICLE II
Distribution of Deferred Compensation

     2.1 Time of Payment of Deferred Compensation. The balance of the Participants Deferred Compensation Account shall not be subject to forfeiture (other than as a result of investment losses included in the hypothetical investment earnings credited pursuant to Section 1.2) and shall become payable by the Company or Adopting Employer, in accordance with the election made by the Participant at the time of his first election to defer commencing either:

     (c) in a combination of (a) and (b).

     Such election by a Participant may also specify that, notwithstanding his election to have payment commence on a specified distribution date, the Company or Adopting Employer shall immediately pay the Participant the balance of his Deferred Compensation Account in a lump sum within thirty (30) days:

     (a) in the event (i) there is a change in control of the Company as defined in the Company’s 1997 Stock Incentive Plan and (ii) the Participant’s employment is terminated for any reason within two (2) years after the change in control has occurred; or

     (b) in the event his employment is terminated:

     2.3 Restriction on Alienation or Assignment. The right of a Participant to benefits under the Plan shall not be subject in any manner to anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment by creditors of the Participant or the Participant’s Beneficiary, nor shall any such amount be in any manner liable for or subject to the debts, contracts, liabilities, engagements or torts of the person entitled to such benefit.

     2.4 Unforeseen Emergency. Upon application by a Participant or Beneficiary and approval thereof by the Committee, a Participant (or a Beneficiary after the death of the Participant) may withdraw, upon a showing of an unforeseen emergency, part or all of the amount then credited in his Deferred Compensation Account. For purposes of this Section 2.4, unforeseen emergency shall mean an unanticipated emergency that is caused by an event beyond the control of the Participant or Beneficiary and that would result in severe financial hardship to the Participant or Beneficiary if early withdrawal were not permitted, resulting from a sudden and unexpected illness or accident of the Participant or Beneficiary (or of a dependent (as defined in Section 152(a) of the Code)) of the Participant or Beneficiary, loss of the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s property due to casualty or other similar extraordinary and unforeseeable circumstances arising as a result of events beyond the control of the Participant or Beneficiary, which unforeseen emergency may not be relieved through reimbursement or compensation by insurance or otherwise, by liquidation of the Participant’s or Beneficiary’s assets (to the extent such liquidation would not itself cause severe financial hardship), or by cessation of deferrals under the Plan. Withdrawals of amounts because of an unforeseeable emergency may be permitted only to the extent reasonably necessary to satisfy the emergency need.

AGREEMENT

(for Key Executives)

     This Agreement is entered into as of the                      day of                                         , 20                    , by and between Performance Food Group Company (“Employer”), a Tennessee corporation with its principal place of business at 12500 West Creek Parkway, Richmond, Virginia 23238 and [Executive] Name (“Executive”).

W I T N E S S E T H:

     WHEREAS, the Executive is currently employed by Employer or one of its affiliates and Employer and Executive desire to set forth certain rights and obligations of Employer and Executive in the event of a change in control of Employer.

     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises hereof and of the mutual promises and agreements contained herein, the parties hereto, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:

     1. Benefits Upon Termination of Employment Following a Change in Control. If at any time within two years following the occurrence of a Change in Control (as defined in Section 14 below) (i) the employment of Executive with Employer is terminated by Employer for any reason other than Good Cause (as defined in Section 14 below), or (ii) Executive terminates his employment with Employer for Good Reason (as defined in Section 14 below), the following provisions will apply:

          (a) Employer shall pay Executive an amount equal to:

(i)	299.9% of Executive’s Base Salary (as defined in Section 14 below);
(ii)	299.9% of Executive’s Bonus (as defined in Section 14 below); and
(iii)	The amount required to reimburse Executive on an after-tax basis as described in Section 15 hereof for any excise tax payable by Executive under Section 4999 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), or any successor provision thereto, on account of any payment, distribution or other compensation to Executive hereunder or under any employee stock plan or other compensatory arrangement constituting (individually or when aggregated with all other such payments, distributions and compensation) an “excess parachute payment” as defined in Section 280G of the Code, or any successor provision thereto.

Either (A) the amounts described in clauses (i) and (ii) above will be paid to Executive as follows: (1) one-third of the total amount due shall be paid in substantially equal semi-monthly installments, over the twelve months immediately following termination of employment, (2) the

remaining two-thirds shall be paid in a lump sum within five business days after the expiration of such twelve month period, and (3) the amount described in clause (iii) above will be paid within thirty (30) days following termination of Executive’s employment; or (B) at the election of Executive by written notice to Employer given within fifteen (15) days following termination of Executive’s employment, all amounts or benefits payable pursuant to this Section 1 will be paid within thirty (30) days following termination of Executive’s employment.

          (b) Executive shall receive any and all benefits accrued under any Incentive Plans (as defined in Section 14 below) to the date of termination of employment, the amount, form and time of payment of such accrued benefits to be determined by the terms of such Incentive Plans.

          (c) For purposes of any Incentive Plans, Executive shall be given service credit for all purposes for, and shall be deemed to be an employee of Employer during the Coverage Period (as defined in Section 14 below), notwithstanding the fact that he is not an employee of Employer or any Affiliate (as defined in Section 14 below) thereof during the Coverage Period; provided that, if the terms of any of such Incentive Plans do not permit such credit or deemed employee treatment, Employer will make payments and distributions to Executive outside of the Incentive Plans in amounts substantially equivalent to the payments and distributions Executive would have received pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plans and attributable to such credit or deemed employee treatment, had such credit or deemed employee treatment been permitted pursuant to the terms of the Incentive Plans.

          (d) During the Coverage Period Executive and his spouse and family will continue to be covered by all Welfare Plans (as defined in Section 14 below), maintained by Employer in which he or his spouse or family were participating immediately prior to the date of his termination as if he continued to be an employee of Employer; provided that, if participation in any one or more of such Welfare Plans is not possible under the terms thereof, Employer will provide substantially identical benefits. If, however, Executive obtains employment with another employer during the Coverage Period, such coverage shall be provided until the earlier of: (i) the end of the Coverage Period or (ii) the date on which the Executive and his spouse and family can be covered under the plans of a new employer without being excluded from full coverage because of any actual pre-existing condition.

     Compensation under Section 1(a), (b), (c) and (d) hereof is contingent upon Executive’s compliance with Section 4 hereof for periods prior to any required payment date.

     2. Setoff.

          (a) With respect to Section 1, no payments or benefits payable to or with respect to Executive or his spouse pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by the amount of any claim of Employer against Executive or his spouse or any debt or obligation of Executive or his spouse owing to Employer.

          (b) With respect to Section 1, no payments or benefits payable to or with respect to Executive pursuant to this Agreement shall be reduced by any amount Executive or his

2

spouse may earn or receive from employment with another employer or from any other source, except as expressly provided in Section 1(d).

          (c) With respect to Section 1, the amounts payable under Sections 1(a)(i) and (ii) shall be reduced, on a dollar for dollar basis, by amounts actually paid to Executive (to the extent such amounts paid represent future salary or cash bonuses) on account of any termination of employment of Executive if such amounts are paid pursuant to the provisions of any written agreement for ongoing employment with Employer in existence prior to the Change in Control.

     3. Death. If Executive dies during the Coverage Period:

          (a) All amounts not theretofore paid described in Section 1(a) shall be paid to his estate.

          (b) The spouse and family of Executive shall, during the remainder of the Coverage Period, be covered under all Welfare Plans made available by Employer to Executive or his spouse immediately prior to the date of his death; provided that, if participation in any one or more of such plans and arrangements is not possible under the terms thereof, Employer will provide substantially identical benefits.

     Any benefits payable under this Section 4 are in addition to any other benefit due to Executive or his spouse or beneficiaries from Employer, including, but not limited to, payments under any Incentive Plans.

     4. Restrictive Covenants.

          (a) Confidential Information. Executive agrees not (i) to disclose, following termination of his employment, to any person (other than to any person specifically authorized by the Board of Directors of Employer) any material confidential information concerning the Employer or any of its Affiliates, including, but not limited to, strategic plans, customer lists, contract terms, financial costs, pricing terms, sales data or business opportunities whether for existing, new or developing businesses or (ii) to use such information in any way detrimental to the Employer.

          (b) Non-Competition. For a period of one year following termination of employment under the circumstances described in Section 1 hereof, Executive will not directly or indirectly own, manage, operate, control or participate in the ownership, management, operation or control of, or be connected as an officer, employee, partner, director or otherwise with, or have any financial interest in, or aid or assist anyone else in the conduct of, any business which is in competition with any business conducted by the Employer or any Affiliate of Employer in any state in which the Employer or any Affiliate of Employer is conducting business on the date of the Change in Control, provided that ownership of 5% or less of the voting stock of any public corporation shall not constitute a violation hereof.

          (c) Enforcement. Executive and the Employer acknowledge and agree that any of the covenants contained in this Section 4 may be specifically enforced through injunctive relief but such right to injunctive relief shall not preclude the Employer from other remedies which may be available to it.

3

     5. Executive Assignment. No interest of Executive or his spouse or any other beneficiary under this Agreement, or any right to receive any payment or distribution hereunder, shall be subject in any manner to sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, attachment, garnishment, or other alienation or encumbrance of any kind, nor may such interest or right to receive a payment or distribution be taken, voluntarily or involuntarily, for the satisfaction of the obligations or debts of, or other claims against, Executive or his spouse or other beneficiary, including claims for alimony, support, separate maintenance, and claims in bankruptcy proceedings.

     6. Benefits Unfunded. All rights of Executive and his spouse or other beneficiary under this Agreement shall at all times be entirely unfunded and no provision shall at any time be made with respect to segregating any assets of Employer for payment of any amounts due hereunder. Neither Executive nor his spouse or other beneficiary shall have any interest in or rights against any specific assets of Employer, and Executive and his spouse or other beneficiary shall have only the rights of a general unsecured creditor of Employer.

     7. Cost of Enforcement; Interest. In the event that Executive collects any part or all of the payments or benefits due hereunder or otherwise enforces the terms of this Agreement following a dispute with Employer regarding the terms of this Agreement by or through a lawyer or lawyers, Employer will pay all costs of such collection or enforcement, including reasonable attorneys’ and accountants’ fees and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by the Executive, up to that point when Employer offers to settle the dispute for an amount equal to the amount which the Executive actually recovers; provided, however, that if the Executive violates any provision of Section 4, this Section 7 shall be void and of no further force and effect.

     8. Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be sufficient if in writing and sent by registered or certified mail to his residence in the case of Executive, or to its principal office in the case of the Employer and the date of mailing shall be deemed the date which such notice has been provided.

     9. Waiver of Breach. The waiver by either party of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by the other party.

     10. Assignment; Successors. The rights and obligations of the Employer under this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and shall be binding upon the successors and assigns of the Employer, including the surviving entity in any merger, consolidation, share exchange or other transaction described in Section 14(d)(ii) hereof or any person, entity or group that has acquired a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock (or securities convertible into Common Stock) of Employer or all, or substantially all, of the assets of Employer. The Executive acknowledges that the services to be rendered by him are unique and personal, and Executive may not assign any of his rights or delegate any of his duties or obligations under this Agreement.

     11. Entire Agreement. This instrument contains the entire agreement of the parties and supersedes all other prior agreements, employment contracts and understandings, both written and oral, express or implied with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and may

4

not be changed orally but only by an agreement in writing signed by the party against whom enforcement of any waiver, change, modification, extension or discharge is sought.

     12. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Tennessee, without giving effect to the principles of conflicts of law thereof.

     13. Headings. The sections, subjects and headings of this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and shall not affect in any way the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

     14. Definitions. For purposes of this Agreement:

          (a) “Affiliate” shall have the meaning set forth in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”).

          (b) “Base Salary” means the higher of (i) Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the occurrence of the Change in Control giving rise to an obligation on the part of Employer to make any payments under this Agreement or (ii) Executive’s highest annual base salary in effect after the occurrence of the Change in Control giving rise to an obligation on the part of Employer to make any payment under this Agreement but prior to the termination of Executive’s employment under the circumstances described in Section 1 above.

          (c) “Bonus” shall mean the higher of: (i) an amount determined by multiplying (A) Executive’s annual base salary in effect immediately prior to the Change in Control giving rise to the obligation of Employer to make any payment under this Agreement by (B) a percentage that is the average percentage of such base salary represented by the annual bonus paid to Executive in the three full calendar years of employment immediately preceding the date of such Change in Control (or if Executive was employed by Employer for less than three full calendar years prior to such Change in Control, such shorter period as Executive was employed by Employer prior to such Change in Control) or (ii) an amount determined by multiplying (A) the Executive’s highest annual base salary in effect after the occurrence of the Change in Control giving rise to an obligation on the part of Employer to make any payment under this Agreement but prior to termination of employment under the circumstances described in Section 1 by (B) the highest percentage of Executive’s annual base salary represented by any annual bonus received by Executive following the occurrence of such Change in Control giving rise to an obligation on the part of Employer to make any payment under this Agreement. Bonus amounts received in respect of less than a full year of service shall be recomputed on an annualized basis for purposes of any determination of annual bonus hereunder.

          (d) “Change in Control” shall mean the occurrence of any of the following:

(i) any person or entity, including a “group” as defined in Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, other than Employer or a wholly-owned subsidiary thereof or any employee benefit plan of Employer or any of its subsidiaries, becomes the beneficial owner of Employer’s securities having 50% or more of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of Employer that may be cast for the election of directors of Employer (other than as

5

	a result of an issuance of securities initiated by Employer in the ordinary course of business); or
(ii)	as the result of, or in connection with, any cash tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination, sales of assets or contested election, or any combination of the foregoing transactions, less than a majority of the combined voting power of the then outstanding securities of Employer or any successor corporation or entity entitled to vote generally in the election of the directors of Employer or such other corporation or entity after such transaction are held in the aggregate by the holders of Employer’s securities entitled to vote generally in the election of directors of Employer immediately prior to such transaction; or
(iii)	during any period of two consecutive years, individuals who at the beginning of any such period constitute the Board of Directors of Employer cease for any reason to constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the nomination for election by Employer’s shareholders, of each director of Employer first elected during such period was approved by a vote of at least two-thirds of the directors of Employer then still in office who were directors of Employer at the beginning of any such period.

          (e) “Coverage Period” shall mean the period beginning on the date the Executive’s employment with Employer terminates under circumstances described in Section 1 and ending on the date that is twelve (12) months thereafter.

          (f) “Good Cause” shall be deemed to exist if, and only if after the occurrence of a Change in Control:

(i)	Executive engages in material acts or omissions constituting dishonesty, breach of fiduciary obligation or intentional wrongdoing or malfeasance which are demonstrably injurious to the Employer; or
(ii)	Executive is convicted of a violation involving fraud or dishonesty.

     Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, if Executive acted in good faith and in a manner he reasonably believed to be in, and not opposed to, the best interest of Employer and had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful in connection with any action taken by Executive in connection with his duties, it shall not constitute Good Cause.

     Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event Employer shall terminate the employment of Executive for Good Cause hereunder, Employer shall give at least 30 days prior written notice to Executive specifying in detail the reason or reasons for Executive’s termination.

          (g) “Good Reason” shall exist if after the occurrence of a Change of Control:

6

(i)	there is a significant change in the nature or the scope of Executive’s authority;
(ii)	there is a reduction in Executive’s rate of base salary;
(iii)	Employer changes the principal location in which Executive is required to perform services outside a thirty-five mile radius of such location without Executive’s consent;
(iv)	there is a reasonable determination by Executive that, as a result of a change in circumstances significantly affecting his position, he is unable to exercise the authority, powers, function or duties attached to his position; or
(v)	Employer terminates or amends any Incentive Plan so that, when considered in the aggregate with any substitute plan or other substitute compensation, the Incentive Plan in which he is participating fails to provide him with a level of benefits equivalent to at least 75% of the value of the level of benefits provided in the aggregate by the terminated or amended Incentive Plan at the date of such termination or amendment; provided, however, that Good Reason shall not be deemed to exist under this clause (v) if the decline in Incentive Plan compensation is related to a decline in performance.

          (h) “Incentive Plans” shall mean any incentive, bonus, deferred compensation or similar plan or arrangement currently or hereafter made available by Employer in which Executive is eligible to participate.

          (i) “Welfare Plans” shall mean any health and dental plan, disability plan, survivor income plan and life insurance plan or arrangement currently or hereafter made available by Employer in which Executive is eligible to participate.

     15. Reimbursement for Excise Taxes. For purposes of determining the amount of any payment described in clause (iii) of Section 1(a) hereof, Executive shall be deemed to have been reimbursed on an after-tax basis for any excise tax described therein if Executive has received (a) the amount of such excise tax and (b) the amount of any taxes (including federal, state and local income taxes as well as any excise tax under Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor provision thereto) payable on account of the reimbursement for such excise tax and any such income and excise taxes payable on account of such reimbursement for income and excise taxes. In the event that Executive and Employer fail to agree as to the amount described in clause (iii) of Section 1(a) hereof within ten (10) days following the date of termination of employment, such amount will be determined by a firm of independent accountants mutually agreed upon by Executive and Employer within thirty (30) days following the date of termination of employment. Employer shall reimburse Executive for any additional income and/or excise taxes (and any penalties and interest thereon) as may be determined to be payable by any taxing authority in respect of any excise tax imposed under Section 4999 of the Code, or any successor

7

provision thereto, and any reimbursement described in clause (iii) of Section 1(a) or in this Section 15.

     16. Employment Rights. Nothing expressed or implied in this Agreement shall create any right or duty on the part of Employer or the Executive to have the Executive remain in the employment of Employer prior to any Change in Control, provided, however, that any termination of employment of the Executive or the removal of the Executive from the office or position in Employer following the commencement of any discussion with a third person that ultimately results in a Change in Control shall be deemed to be a termination or removal of the Executive after a Change in Control for purposes of this Agreement.

     17. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original.

     18. Severability; Construction. In the event any provision of this Agreement is held illegal or invalid, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected thereby. In the event that Section 4(b) is deemed by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid due to over breadth, such Section 4(b) shall be construed as narrowly as necessary to be enforceable.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement on the day and year first written above.

     3. Plan section 3.2(b) is amended, effective January 1, 2008, to revise subparagraph (i)(A) to read as follows:

Effective for Eligible Employees whose Employment Commencement Date is on or after January 1, 2006, and prior to January 1, 2008, and who first become eligible pursuant to the requirements set forth in Plan section 2.1 on or after January 1, 2006, such Participant’s automatic Elective Deferral percentage shall equal one percent (1%) until January 1, 2008, at which time such Participant’s

automatic Elective Deferral percentage shall become subject to the following sentences. Effective January 1, 2008, a Participant’s automatic Elective Deferral percentage shall equal two percent (2%). In addition, a Participant whose Elective Deferral percentage currently effect on December 31, 2007, equals one percent (1%) shall automatically be increased to two percent (2%) as of January 1, 2008.

     5. Plan section 5.3 is amended to add the following subsection (e) and to rename subsection (e) as subsection (f):

     (e) If (i) a Participant is re-employed before he has a five-year Period of Severance (ii) he had received a distribution under Plan section 6.01 of the full value of his vested benefit but such value was less than the then full value of the amount standing to his credit at the time of his prior termination of his service (including any credit in respect of the Plan Year in which his service terminated) and (iii) he repays in cash, within five years after the date he is re-employed, the amount that was distributed to him with respect to such prior termination, then an amount equal to the full amount that was standing to his credit at the time of his prior termination shall be re-credited to his accounts in one or more of the investment funds (other than Company Stock), as selected by the Participant. In any such case, the Company shall pay into the Plan the excess of the amount to be so re-credited over the amount repaid by the Participant. No reinstatement of amounts shall occur upon a Participant’s reemployment except to the extent provided above.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to the Performance Food Group Company Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan to be executed on this ___day of                     , 2007.

     The Committee shall prescribe time periods within which salary reduction elections must be made by a Participant and shall also prescribe the manner for entering into salary reduction agreements pursuant to such Participant elections. Effective January 1, 2007, a Participant may change his election to increase, decrease or stop Salary Reduction Contributions effective as of the first day of the payroll period following the date such election is received by the Committee or any third-party recordkeeper appointed by the Committee. All elections made by a Participant shall continue in force until they are changed or until the Participant ceases to be a Participant.

     5. Plan section 3.2(b)(ii) (“Savings Plans Contributions”) is amended to read as follows:

     (ii) The Committee shall prescribe time periods within which salary reduction elections must be made by a Participant and shall also prescribe the manner for entering into salary reduction agreements pursuant to such Participation elections. Effective January 1, 2007, a Participant may change his election to increase, decrease or stop Salary Reduction Contributions effective as of the first day of the payroll period following the date such election is received by the Committee or any third-party recordkeeper appointed by the Committee. All elections made by a Participant shall continue in force until they are changed or until the Participant ceases to be a Participant.

     6. Plan sections 4.2(a)(i) and (ii) (“Allocation of Contributions and Forfeitures”) are amended to read as follows:

     (i) Each payroll period, the Committee shall allocate to the Salary Reduction Contributions Account of each Participant the Salary Reduction Contributions made for the benefit of the Participant. The Committee may designate additional dates for the allocation of Salary Reduction Contributions to Participants’ Accounts.

     (ii) Each payroll period, the Committee shall allocate to the Matching Contributions Account of each Participant the Matching Contributions made on behalf of such Participant for such payroll period.

     7. Plan sections 4.9(b) and (c) (“Distribution of Excess Contributions”) are amended effective January 1, 2007, to read as follows:

     (a) If Salary Reduction Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees are required to be reduced as a result of the anti-discrimination test described in Section 4.7, the excess Salary Reduction Contribution and income or losses attributable to those contributions up to the date of distribution shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated

2

Employees within 2-1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year to which the Salary Reduction Contributions relate.

     The distributions required to be made to Highly Compensated Employees to satisfy the anti-discrimination test described in Section 4.7 shall be determined by allocating to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amounts of Salary Reduction Contributions for the Plan Year in which the excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of such Salary Reduction Contributions and continuing in descending order until all the excess Salary Reduction Contributions have been allocated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “largest amount” is determined before any such distribution.

     (c) If Matching Contributions of Highly Compensated Employees are required to be reduced as a result of the anti-discrimination test described in Section 4.8, the excess Matching Contributions and income or losses attributable to those contributions up to the date of distribution shall be distributed to the Highly Compensated Employees within 2-1/2 months after the close of the Plan Year to which the Matching Contributions relate.

     The distributions required to be made to Highly Compensated Employees to satisfy the anti-discrimination test described in Section 4.8 shall be determined by allocating to the Highly Compensated Employees with the largest amounts of Matching Contributions for the Plan Year in which the excess arose, beginning with the Highly Compensated Employee with the largest amount of such Matching Contributions and continuing in descending order until all the excess Matching Contributions have been allocated. For purposes of the preceding sentence, the “largest amount” is determined before any such distribution.

     8. Plan section 5.2(a) (“Service Rules”) is amended to read as follows:

     (a) If an Employee who is not an Ineligible Employee terminates employment before he has a vested interest in his Accounts, has a Period of Severance that equals or exceeds five years, and then is reemployed by the Employer, his Service performed before his termination of employment shall be disregarded in applying the applicable vesting schedule described in Section 5.1 to his post-reemployment Accounts. In all other cases, if an Employee who is not an Ineligible Employee terminates employment and then is reemployed by the Employer, all of his Service shall be counted for purposes of applying the applicable vesting schedule to his post-reemployment Accounts.

     9. Plan section 5.3(d) (“Vested Benefits and Forfeitures”) is amended to revise the first paragraph to read as follows:

     If a Participant described in subparagraph (b)(ii) is not reemployed before he has a five-year Period of Severance, the non-vested portion of his Account shall be forfeited

3

as of the date on which the Participant has a five-year Period of Severance. Notwithstanding the preceding, upon approval by the Internal Revenue Service, if a Participant described in subparagraph (b)(ii) is not reemployed before he has a one-year Period of Severance, the non-vested portion of his Account shall be forfeited as of the date on which the Participant has a one-year Period of Severance. If such Participant is reemployed before he has a five-year Period of Severance the Participant’s vested interest in his Accounts derived from Employer contributions subject to the vesting requirements of Section 5.1 at any later point in time (referred to below as the “date of the computation”) shall be the amount (“X”) determined by the following formula

     10. Plan section 5.3 (“Vested Benefits and Forfeitures”) is amended further to add the following subsection (e) and to rename subsection (e) as subsection (f):

     (e) If a Participant (i) is re-employed before he has a five-year Period of Severance (ii) had received a distribution under Plan section 6.01 of the full value of his vested benefit but such value was less than the then full value of the amount standing to his credit at the time of his prior termination of his service (including any credit in respect of the Plan Year in which his service terminated) and (iii) repays in cash, within five years after the date he is re-employed, the amount that was distributed to him with respect to such prior termination, then an amount equal to the full amount that was standing to his credit at the time of his prior termination shall be re-credited to his accounts in one or more of the investment funds (other than Company Stock), as selected by the Participant. In any such case, the Company shall pay into the Plan the excess of the amount to be so re-credited over the amount repaid by the Participant. No reinstatement of amounts shall occur upon a Participant’s reemployment except to the extent provided above.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Company has caused this Amendment to the Performance Food Group Company Employee Savings and Stock Ownership Plan to be executed on this ___day of                     , 2007.
