Explanation of Responses:

*	If the form is filed by more than one reporting person, see Instruction 4(b)(v).
**	Intentional misstatements or omissions of facts constitute Federal Criminal Violations. See 18 U.S.C. 1001 and 15 U.S.C. 78ff(a).
(1)	Class B Common Stock may be converted to Class A Common Stock on a 1-for-1 basis without additional consideration.
(2)	The reported transaction constitutes a sale of Class B Common Stock by the Ingles Markets Investment/Profit Sharing Plan (the "Plan") The number of shares reported as sold and as beneficially owned reflect the total number of shares sold or owned by the Plan for the benefit of all Plan participants. The reporting person is a trustee of the Plan. The reporting person disclaims beneficial ownership of the reported securities except to the extent of his or her pecuniary interest therein, if any, and this report shall not be deemed an admission that the reporting person is the beneficial owner of such securities for purposes of Section 16 or for any other purpose except to the extent of his or her pecuniary interest therein. While the Class B Common Stock generally converts to Class A Common Stock upon transfer, because such shares were sold to another holder of Class B Common Stock, they did not convert.
(3)	Exercisable immediately.
(4)	None.

Note: File three copies of this Form, one of which must be manually signed. If space is insufficient, see Instruction 6 for procedure.
