Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Participants and Administrator of
The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. Savings Plan

In our opinion, the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits and the related statement of changes in net assets available for plan
benefits present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for
plan benefits of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company, Inc. Savings Plan
(the "Plan") at December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005, and the changes in net
assets available for plan benefits for the year ended December 31, 2006 in
conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
America. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's
management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial
statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements 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, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Our audits were conducted for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental Schedule H, Line 4i -
Schedule of Assets (Held at End of Year) is presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and is not a required part of the basic financial statements
but is supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. This supplemental schedule is the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The supplemental schedule has been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

           THE GREAT ATLANTIC & PACIFIC TEA COMPANY, INC. SAVINGS PLAN
                           NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                          FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2006

1.    PLAN DESCRIPTION

      The following description of The Great Atlantic & Pacific Tea Company,
      Inc. ("Company") Savings Plan ("Savings Plan") provides only general
      information. Participants should refer to the Savings Plan summary plan
      description for a more complete description of the Savings Plan's
      provisions.

      General

      The Savings Plan is a voluntary defined contribution plan of the Company.
      The Savings Plan covers employees of the Company who are not covered by a
      collective bargaining agreement (CBA), as well as employees covered by a
      CBA where the CBA specifically provides for such coverage.

      Participants are permitted to change their contribution rates once per
      month. In addition, they may change their investment options with regard
      to future contributions and reallocate existing investment balances on any
      business day.

      Prior to May 4, 2004, the Savings Plan covered eligible employees of the
      Company who completed at least one year of service (1,000 hours in a
      12-month period) if age 21 or older or the earlier of five years of
      service or age 21, if under age 21 at time of employment. Effective May 4,
      2004 the Plan was amended to (a) allow employees to contribute to the Plan
      on the first of the month based on the eligibility criteria described in
      the preceding sentence, and (b) state that each participant shall be 100%
      vested in the event of termination or partial termination of the Savings
      Plan (if Participant is affected by partial termination) or upon
      retirement, disability or death.

      Contributions

      Eligible employees have the option to contribute from 1% to 20% of their
      base compensation to the Savings Plan. This can be any combination of pre
      and post tax percentages, as long as the total of the percentages does not
      exceed 20% of base compensation. Additionally, the Internal Revenue
      Service limits the maximum amount a participant may contribute, which was
      $15,000 for fiscal 2006. The Company matches 50% of an employee's
      contributions up to 6% of their compensation.

      Participants direct the investment of their contributions into various
      investment options offered by the Savings Plan. Employee contributions may
      not be allocated to the Employer Stock Fund.


                                         -5-



      Vesting

      Participants are always 100% vested in their contributions and become
      fully vested in the Company's matching contributions after five years, in
      accordance with the following schedule:

              5 years or more                                    100%

      Payment of Benefits

      Participants may receive the value of the vested portion of their account
      balance when they leave the Company for any reason other than death, in
      which case a beneficiary would receive the benefit. Participants may
      generally withdraw unmatched after-tax contributions once during any 12
      month period but may withdraw unmatched before-tax contributions only in
      the case of "financial hardship" as defined in the Savings Plan.

      Forfeited Accounts

      At December 31, 2006, and December 31, 2005, forfeited nonvested accounts
      totaled $161,614 and $122,856, respectively. These accounts will be used
      to decrease future employer contributions and can also be used to pay
      certain administrative expenses. During the year ended December 31, 2006,
      employer contributions were reduced by $131,306 from forfeited nonvested
      accounts.

      Participant Accounts

      Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contribution
      and (a) the matching Company contribution and (b) allocations of Savings
      Plan earnings. Allocations are based on participant earnings or account
      balances, as defined. The benefit to which a participant is entitled is
      the benefit that can be provided from the participant's vested account.

      Participant Loans

      Participants may borrow from their account balance a minimum of $1,000 up
      to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50 percent of their vested
      account balance. The loans are collateralized by the balance in the
      participant's account and bear a fixed interest rate for the duration of
      the loan equal to Prime plus 1% as published in the Wall Street Journal on
      the last day of the preceding quarter. Principal and interest is paid
      ratably through payroll deductions.

                                      -6-



      During each of the years ended December 31, 2006 and December 31, 2005,
      the interest rates on participant loans ranged from 5.00% to 10.50%.

2.    SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

      The significant accounting policies followed by the Savings Plan are as
      follows:

      Basis of Accounting -

      The accompanying financial statements have been prepared in accordance
      with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of
      America on the accrual basis of accounting.

      As described in Financial Accounting Standards Board Staff Position, FSP
      AAG INV-1 and SOP 94-4-1, Reporting of Fully Benefit-Responsive Investment
      Contracts Held by Certain Investment Companies Subject to the AICPA
      Investment Company Guide and Defined-Contribution Health and Welfare and
      Pension Plans (the FSP), investment contracts held by a
      defined-contribution plan are required to be reported at fair value.
      However, contract value is the relevant measurement attribute for that
      portion of the net assets available for benefits of a defined-contribution
      plan attributable to fully benefit-responsive investment contracts because
      contract value is the amount participants would receive if they were to
      initiate permitted transactions under the terms of the plan. The plan
      invests in investment contracts through a collective trust. As required by
      the FSP, the Statement of Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits presents
      the fair value of the investment in the collective trust as well as the
      adjustment of the investment in the collective trust from fair value to
      contract value relating to the investment contracts. The Statement of
      Changes in Net Assets Available for Plan Benefits is prepared on a
      contract value basis.

      Use of Estimates -

      The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting
      principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the
      Savings Plan management to make significant estimates and assumptions that
      affect the reported amounts of net assets available for Plan benefits at
      the date of the financial statements, changes in net assets available for
      Plan benefits during the reporting period and, where applicable, the
      disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the
      financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.



                                       -7-



      Investment Valuation and Income Recognition -

      The Savings Plan's investments are presented at fair value. Shares of
      Company Stock are valued at quoted market prices. Shares of mutual funds
      are valued at the net asset value of shares held by the Savings Plan at
      year end. The Savings Plan's interest in the common/collective trusts are
      valued based on information reported by the investment advisor using the
      audited financial statements of the common/collective trusts at year-end.
      Participant loans are valued at their outstanding balances, which
      approximate fair value.

      Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.
      Dividends are recorded on the ex-dividend date. Interest income is
      recorded as earned.

      Expenses -

      All administrative expenses are being paid by the Savings Plan.

      Payment of Benefits -

      Benefit payments to participants are recorded upon distribution.

      Risks and Uncertainties -

      The Savings Plan provides for various investment options. The Savings
      Plan's mutual funds invest in various securities including U.S. government
      securities, corporate debt instruments and corporate stocks. Investment
      securities, in general, are exposed to various risks, such as interest
      rate, credit and overall market volatility. Due to the level of risk
      associated with certain investment securities, it is reasonably possible
      that changes in the values of investment securities will occur in the near
      term and that such changes could materially affect participant's account
      balances and the amounts reported in the statements of net assets
      available for Plan benefits.

      Revision of Prior Year Amounts -

      Prior year's presentation of the Statement of Net Assets Available for
      Plan Benefits has been revised to reflect the adoption of the FSP as
      discussed in Note 2.

4.    Synthetic Guaranteed Investment Contracts (GIC)

      The Savings Plan has four investments in Synthetic Guaranteed Investment
      Contracts ("GIC")during the 2006 and 2005 Plan years. These are
      investments that simulate the performance of a traditional GIC through the
      use of financial instruments (referred to as "wrapper" contracts). For
      these investments, the Company invested in common / collective trusts
      which consist of government securities, private and public backed
      mortgaged-backed and other asset-backed securities as well as grouped
      investments. The benefit responsive "wrapper" contracts were all liquidity
      agreements. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the aggregate fair values of
      the "wrapper" contracts held by the Savings Plan were $49,613 and
      ($5,022), respectively. In addition to investments in the
      common/collective trusts that form part of the Synthetic GIC's as
      disclosed below, there were additional investments in other


                                       -9-


      common/collective trusts, mutual funds and stock amounted to $235,130,185
      and $222,691,868,as of December 31, 2006 and 2005, respectively.

      There are no reserves against contract value for credit risk of the
      contract issuer or otherwise. The crediting interest rate is based on a
      formula agreed upon with the issuer, but it may not be less than zero
      percent. Such interest rates are reviewed on a quarterly basis for
      resetting.

      Certain events limit the ability of the Savings Plan to transact at
      contract value with the issuer. Such events include the following: (1)
      amendments to the Savings Plan documents, (2) changes to Savings Plan's
      prohibition on competing investment options or deletion of equity wash
      provisions, (3) bankruptcy of the Savings Plan sponsor or other Savings
      Plan sponsor events that cause a significant withdrawal from the plan, or
      (4) the failure of the trust to qualify for exemption from federal income
      taxes or any required prohibited transaction exemption under the Employee
      Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The Savings Plan administrator
      does not believe that the occurrence of any such value event, which would
      limit the Savings Plan's ability to transact at contract value with
      participants, is probable.

      The guaranteed investment contract does not permit the insurance company
      to terminate the agreement prior to the scheduled maturity date.

      In addition to the four investments in GIC's discussed above, the Savings
      Plan invests in two collective trust funds that primarily invest in
      security-backed contracts. As of December 31, 2006 and 2005, the
      adjustment from fair value to contract value for fully benefit responsive
      investments for these collective trust funds were $211,640 and $3,571,
      respectively.

      The average yield rates based on actual earnings for fully benefit
      responsive investment contracts as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were
      5.37% and 5.34%, respectively. The average yield rates based on interest
      rate credited to participants for fully benefit responsive investment
      contracts as of December 31, 2006 and 2005 were 5.36% and 5.18%,
      respectively.

5.    RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

      Certain Savings Plan investments are shares of a common collective trust
      and mutual funds managed by Prudential Trust Company.

                                      -11-




      Prudential Trust Company is the trustee as defined by the Savings Plan
      and, therefore, these transactions qualify as party-in-interest
      transactions. The Savings Plan has investments in A&P Stock that were made
      in prior years. Employees may no longer select this investment option.

      Certain administrative functions are performed by the officers and
      employees of the Company (who may be participants in the Savings Plan) at
      no cost to the Savings Plan. These transactions are not deemed prohibited
      transactions because they are covered by the statutory administrative
      exemption from the Internal Revenue Code's and ERISA's rules on prohibited
      transactions.

6.    SAVINGS PLAN TERMINATION

      Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company reserves
      the right to terminate the Savings Plan subject to the provisions of
      ERISA. If the Savings Plan is terminated, each participant would receive
      the value of his or her interest in the trust funds attributable to both
      participant and employer vested contributions for all years of
      participation.

7.    FEDERAL INCOME TAX STATUS

      The Internal Revenue Service has determined and informed the Company by
      letter dated April 19, 2004 that the Savings Plan and related trust are
      designed in accordance with applicable sections of the Internal Revenue
      Code (the "Code"). The Savings Plan has been amended since receiving the
      determination letter. The Savings Plan Administrator believes that the
      Savings Plan is currently designed and being operated in compliance with
      the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, no
      provision for income taxes has been included in the Savings Plan's
      financial statements.
