Amendment No. 3 to Form S-1 Table of Contents Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Safeway Inc.: We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Safeway Inc. and subsidiaries (the "Company') as of January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive (loss) income, stockholders' equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 3, 2015. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these 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, such consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Safeway Inc. and subsidiaries as of January 3, 2015 and December 28, 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended January 3, 2015, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. s Delving K Touche LIP San Francisco, CA March 3, 2015 F-89 hilp.
