                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                  (Unaudited)

1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
     financial statements of Dole Food Company, Inc. (the "Company") include all
     adjustments necessary to present fairly its financial position as of
     October 7, 1995, its results of operations for the quarter and three
     quarters then ended, and cash flows for the three quarters then ended.
     Interim results are subject to significant seasonal variations and are not
     necessarily indicative of the results of operations for a full year.
    
     The Company restated the previously reported third quarter results to
     reflect a $24 million reduction in the amount of the write-down required
     for its real estate and resort properties reflected in discontinued
     operations. The adjustment increases retained earnings as of October 7,
     1995 by $14.1 million to $628.3 million and reduces the third quarter loss
     from discontinued operations from $119.2 million ($1.99 per share) to
     $105.1 million ($1.76 per share).      

2.   During the first three quarters of 1995, the Company declared approximately
     $17.9 million of cash dividends on its common stock, which represented the
     regular second, third and fourth quarterly dividends. Dividends paid in
     1995 totaled approximately $17.9 million and represented the regular first,
     second and third quarterly dividends of 1995.

     The Company declared and paid approximately $17.8 million of cash dividends
     on its common stock, during the first three quarters of 1994, which
     represented the regular first, second and third quarterly dividends. All
     dividends in 1995 and 1994 were at a rate of 10 cents per share.

3.   The Company paid interest of $87.8 million in the first three quarters of
     1995 and $68.3 million for the same period in 1994. Income taxes paid
     (refunded) totaled $43.7 million and ($1.0) million for the first three
     quarters of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

4.   On May 19, 1995, the Company completed the sale of its worldwide juice and
     juice beverage business, resulting in initial net proceeds of approximately
     $233 million and a pretax gain of approximately $145 million. The Company
     received in early November, additional proceeds of approximately $37
     million based upon the final closing balance sheet. In addition, during the
     second quarter of 1995, the Company began to implement its plans to sell
     certain of its agricultural properties and other assets which have
     generated low returns. The book value of the assets to be sold exceeded the
     estimated fair value less costs to sell, resulting in an adjustment of
     $83.3 million. The resulting net pretax gain of $61.7 million was recorded
     in the second quarter of 1995.

                                  (Unaudited)

5.   In October, 1995, the Company formalized a plan to separate its real estate
     and resorts business from its food business. On October 17, 1995, Castle &
     Cooke, Inc. ("Castle"), the newly formed real estate and resorts entity,
     filed a Registration Statement on Form 10 with the Securities and Exchange
     Commission. Each Company shareholder of record will receive one share of
     Castle common stock for every three shares of the Company's common stock as
     a dividend. The dividend will be taxable to such shareholders only if and
     to the extent that the Company has current earnings and profits for 1995 or
     accumulated earnings and profits as of the distribution date. The Company's
     current tax projections indicate that the distribution will not be taxable
     as a dividend to its shareholders. The distribution is expected to occur on
     or before December 30, 1995.
    
     Under the plan of distribution, the Company will transfer approximately
     $950 million of net assets to Castle and in partial consideration therefore
     the Company will receive a combination of preferred stock and notes of $245
     million. As a result of the distribution and the write-down, described in
     Note 6, the Company's shareholders' equity will be reduced by approximately
     $650 million, of which $104 million has been reflected in the third quarter
     of 1995.      

     In connection with this plan of distribution, the operating results of the
     real estate and resorts business have been accounted for as discontinued
     operations. The 1994 consolidated financial statements have been restated
     to conform with the 1995 presentation.

     Revenues of the real estate and resorts business for the first three
     quarters of 1995 and 1994 were $249 million and $223 million, respectively.
     The real estate and resorts business revenues for the third quarter 1995
     and 1994 were $89 million and $90 million, respectively. Income from
     discontinued operations reflects an allocation of the Company's overall
     interest costs based on the amounts of cash and interest bearing notes
     expected to be received by the Company upon distribution. Net assets held
     for distribution consist primarily of receivables, real estate
     developments, property and equipment, accounts payable and accrued
     liabilities.
    
6.   As of October 7, 1995, the Company reviewed certain of its real estate and
     resort properties to determine, in accordance with generally accepted
     accounting principles, whether expected future cash flows (undiscounted and
     without interest charges) from each property would result in the recovery
     by the Company of the carrying amount of such property. The review focused
     on the Lana'i resort properties due to certain adverse developments
     effecting such properties that occurred subsequent

                                  (Unaudited)
    
     to the Company's 1994 fiscal year end. These developments included the
     slower than expected pace of home sales at the Koele project during 1995,
     delays encountered in June 1995 in obtaining necessary permits and
     approvals for the Manele Bay residential project, and disappointing
     occupancy results at The Manele Bay Hotel during the third quarter of 1995.
     These adverse developments, combined with a 30% decline in the Oahu home
     resale market in 1995 and the recent sale at depressed prices of several
     luxury hotels in Hawaii, caused management to substantially lower its
     estimates of future cash flow from the Lana'i resort properties. This
     decrease in estimated future cash flows led to a determination that the
     Lana'i resort properties were impaired in accordance with generally
     accepted accounting principles. In accordance with Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards No. 67, "Accounting for Costs and Initial Rental
     Operations of Real Estate Projects" ("SFAS 67"), each of the Company's real
     estate projects was carried at the lower of cost or net realizable value,
     with net realizable value deemed to be the undiscounted estimated future
     cash flows from the project. Under SFAS 67, the Lana'i resort properties
     would have been written down by approximately $91 million to their net
     realizable value as of October 7, 1995. However, in the third quarter of
     1995, the Company elected to adopt Statement of Financial Accounting
     Standards No. 121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and
     Long-Lived Assets to be Disposed of" ("SFAS 121"), which requires an
     impaired property to be written down to fair value. The fair value of a
     property for purposes of SFAS 121 is deemed to be the amount a willing
     buyer would pay a willing seller for such property in a current
     transaction. In accordance with SFAS 121, an impairment pretax loss of $168
     million ($99.1 million after tax) was recorded as part of discontinued
     operations in the accompanying statements of income for the quarter and
     three quarters ended October 7, 1995 for the difference between the
     carrying value and the fair value of the Lana'i resort properties. The fair
     value of the resort properties was based on a combination of discounted
     cash flow projections and comparable independent sales for similar assets.
     In addition, an impairment pretax loss of $8 million ($4.7 million after
     tax) was recorded in the third quarter of 1995 for certain other
     residential properties that were also determined to be impaired.

                ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

Operating activities from continuing operations for the first three quarters of
1995 generated approximately $216 million of positive cash flow, an increase of
$127 million from $89 million for the first three quarters of 1994, primarily
due to significant net working capital changes effected by the sale of the
worldwide juice and juice beverage business in the second quarter of 1995 and
improved operating results.

During the first three quarters of 1995, the Company reduced net bank debt
through a combination of higher cash flow from operations and proceeds generated
primarily from the two transactions described below.

During the first quarter of 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with a
syndicate of banks for the sale and leaseback of certain vessels including four
recently constructed refrigerated vessels.  This transaction generated net
proceeds to the Company of approximately $133 million.  The Company will lease
the vessels for seven years.

In addition, on May 19, 1995, the Company completed the sale of its worldwide
juice and juice beverage business. Net proceeds of approximately $233 million
were based upon a preliminary balance sheet. The Company received in early
November, additional proceeds of approximately $37 million based upon the final
closing balance sheet.

At October 7, 1995, the Company had approximately $667 million of net borrowing
capacity under a $1 billion credit facility which expires in 1999.  The Company
also borrows under uncommitted lines of credit at rates offered from time to
time by various banks that may or may not be lenders under the $1 billion credit
facility.

Capital expenditures for continuing operations for the first three quarters of
1995 totaled approximately $74 million, and was invested in various business
expansions and capital improvements.

In October, 1995, the Company initiated a formal plan to separate its real
estate and resorts business from its food business, in a pro rata taxable
distribution to the Company's shareholders.  The distribution is expected to
occur on or before December 30, 1995.  As partial consideration for the
Company's real estate and resorts business the Company will receive a $200
million interim note due within 90 days from the date of distribution and a $10
million term note due five years from the date of distribution.  Additional
consideration will include issuance to the Company of 3,500 shares of cumulative
preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation value of $35 million.  The Company
intends to sell the cumulative preferred stock to third parties for $35 million
within ninety days from the date of the distribution.  The Company expects to
use the cash proceeds from the interim note and the preferred stock to repay
outstanding bank indebtedness.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------

Revenues from continuing operations increased 11% over the prior year, from $2.7
billion for the first three quarters of 1994 to $3.0 billion for the first three
quarters of 1995. Third quarter revenue grew 6%, from $992 million in 1994 to
$1.05 billion in 1995, and increased 16% compared to the third quarter of 1994,
excluding revenues from the recently sold worldwide juice and juice beverage
business.  Growth in existing product lines, increases in worldwide banana
revenues, and temporary market conditions for the fresh vegetable business
resulting from the March 1995 California floods are primarily attributable for
the increases in revenue.

Selling, marketing and administrative expenses from continuing operations was
$310 million or 10% of sales for the first three quarters of 1995 compared to
$298 million or 11% of sales for the first three quarters of 1994, primarily due
to business expansions offset by the sale of the worldwide juice and juice
beverage business in the second quarter of 1995. Selling, marketing and
administrative expenses from continuing operations decreased $12 million for the
third quarter of 1995 compared to the third quarter of 1994, primarily as a
result of the sale of the worldwide juice and juice beverage business.

Operating income from continuing operations increased to $173.1 million for the
first three quarters of 1995 compared to $129.6 million in 1994.  For the third
quarter of 1995, operating income from continuing operations totaled $42.2
million compared to $20.2 million in 1994. Higher earnings in the first three
quarters and third quarter of 1995 over the prior year were primarily related to
the strengthening of the worldwide banana market, particularly in the Pacific
Rim, and the fresh vegetable business which profited from temporary market
conditions resulting from the March 1995 California floods.  The processed
pineapple and the value-added pre-cut salad businesses also posted improved
results in the first three quarters of 1995, partially offset by lower results
for dried fruit and nuts. Overall results for the Company's food operations were
favorably impacted by the strengthening yen and deutschemark during the first
three quarters of 1995.

Interest expense from continuing operations, net of interest income and
capitalized interest, increased to $60.2 million for the first three quarters of
1995 from $49.3 million in 1994, as a result of higher interest rates offset by
slightly lower average borrowing levels.  Interest expense from continuing
operations, net of interest income and capitalized interest, decreased to $18.5
million during the third quarter of 1995 from $21.8 million in 1994, as a result
of lower average borrowing levels somewhat offset by higher interest rates.

                 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)
- ---------------------------------

During the second quarter of 1995, the sale of the Company's worldwide juice and
juice beverage business was completed, resulting in a pretax gain of
approximately $145 million.  Revenues related to this business totaled
approximately $300 million in 1994.  In addition, during the second quarter of
1995, the Company began to implement its plans to sell certain of its
agricultural properties and other assets which have generated low returns.
Sales agreements have been entered into with respect to certain assets, and
sales efforts are proceeding with respect to the others.  The book value of the
assets to be sold exceeded the estimated fair value less costs to sell,
resulting in an adjustment of $83.3 million in the second quarter of 1995. The
gain on the sale of the beverage business, net of adjustments related to the
planned disposal of assets, resulted in a net pretax gain of $61.7 million and
an increase in the Company's estimated 1995 annualized income tax rate from 23%
to 32%.  The sale of the juice business and the planned sale of agricultural
properties and other assets are not expected to have a significant impact on the
Company's continuing operating income levels.
    
The Company incurred a $103.0 million or $1.73 per share loss from discontinued
operations for the first three quarters of 1995.  The loss from discontinued
operations includes distribution expenses, of $3.0 million, net of income taxes
and a write-down to certain real estate and resort properties of $103.8 million,
net of income taxes. As of October 7, 1995, the Company reviewed certain of its
real estate and resort properties to determine, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles, whether expected future cash flows (undiscounted
and without interest charges) from each property would result in the recovery by
the Company of the carrying amount of such property.  Certain adverse
developments effecting the Lana'i resort properties that occured subsequent to
the Company's 1994 fiscal year end caused management to substantially lower its
estimate of that project's cash flow.  That decrease led to a determination that
the Lana'i resort properties were impaired as defined by generally accepted
accounting principles and, accordingly, an impairment  pretax loss of $168
million ($99.1 million after tax) was recorded as part of discontinued
operations in the accompanying statements of income for the quarter and three
quarters ended October 7, 1995 for the difference between the carrying value and
the fair value of the Lana'i resort properties. In addition, an impairment
pretax loss of $8 million ($4.7 million after tax) was recorded in the third
quarter of 1995 for certain other residential properties that were also
determined to be impaired.

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings

In the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1994, the
Company described certain lawsuits that had been filed in Texas against some of
the manufacturers of a formerly widely used agricultural chemical called DBCP,
the Company and several of its competitors.  In these lawsuits, a large number
of foreign nationals allege personal injuries caused by contact with DBCP.  The
plaintiffs claim that during the 1960's and 1970's they were employees of
Company subsidiaries, competitors and independent local growers.  In October
1995, four of the six cases pending in Texas state courts were dismissed by the
Texas federal court on the grounds that the plaintiffs' home countries are the
more appropriate forums for the claims.  This dismissal involved approximately
75% of the Texas plaintiffs, many of whom have now filed claims in their home
country.  The remaining two cases were remanded to Texas state courts, where
procedural matters are being addressed.  Additionally, two new, similar DBCP
actions were filed in Louisiana state court in June 1995 by plaintiffs from the
same foreign countries. The Louisiana cases were removed to federal court where
defendants have filed a motion to dismiss on the same grounds successfully
asserted in the Texas dismissal action.  As to all such matters, the Company has
denied liability and asserted substantial defenses.  In the opinion of
management, after consultation with outside counsel, the pending lawsuits are
not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.
