SARA LEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. During the first quarter of fiscal 1995 the Corporation adopted Statement
of Position 93-7 "Reporting on Advertising Costs" (SOP 93-7) as issued by
the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The statement
primarily requires that the cost of advertising be expensed no later than
the first time the advertising takes place. The Corporation's previous
method of accounting for advertising was consistent with SOP 93-7 and its
adoption had no material impact on the results of operations.

SARA LEE CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations
and Financial Condition
The following is a discussion of the results of operations for the third
quarter and first nine months of fiscal 1995 compared to the comparable periods
of fiscal 1994 and a discussion of the changes in financial condition during
the first nine months of fiscal 1995.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Comparison of Third Quarter Fiscal 1995 to Third Quarter Fiscal 1994
Current quarter sales of $4.19 billion were $529 million or 14.4% above the
$3.66 billion reported in the third quarter of last year. Packaged Foods sales
increased 19.1% to $2.16 billion while Packaged Consumer Products sales
increased 9.8% to $2.03 billion.
Businesses acquired net of businesses sold subsequent to the start of the third
quarter of last year increased sales by approximately 5.4 percentage points.
The weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies had the effect
of increasing sales in fiscal 1995 by approximately 5.3 percentage points.
Thus, on a comparable basis, sales increased approximately 3.7%. After
adjusting for business acquisitions and dispositions as well as foreign currency
fluctuations, comparable Packaged Foods sales increased 0.6% while comparable
Packaged Consumer Products sales increased 6.8% as compared to the third
quarter of last year.
Cost of sales increased by $352 million or 15.4% while the gross profit margin
was 37.3% in the current quarter compared to 37.9% in the third quarter of last
year. Packaged Foods gross profit margins declined and the mix of sales was
more heavily weighted toward Packaged Foods which have lower gross profit
margins than Packaged Consumer Products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $1.27 billion were $152 million
or 13.6% higher than the third quarter of last year. The increase was
primarily due to acquisitions, the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies and increases in advertising and promotion expense. Net
interest expense increased from $35.5 million last year to $46.7 million in the
current year primarily as a result of higher interest rates.
The effective tax rate decreased from 35% to 33% of income before income taxes.
This was primarily due to lower foreign taxes.
Net income increased 9.3% to $166 million. Net income per share increased 10%
to $0.33 per share from the $0.30 per share reported last year.
Page 9
<PAGE> 10
Comparison of First Nine Months of Fiscal 1995 to First Nine Months of Fiscal
1994
Net sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 were $13.13 billion or 14.5%
higher than the $11.47 billion reported last year. Packaged Foods sales
increased 17.0% to $6.54 billion and Packaged Consumer Products sales increased
12.1% to $6.6 billion. Adjusting sales for businesses sold and acquired
subsequent to the start of fiscal 1994 and foreign currency fluctuations, sales
increased by approximately 6.3%. After adjusting for business acquisitions and
dispositions as well as foreign currency fluctuations, comparable Packaged
Foods sales increased 3.7% while comparable Packaged Consumer Products sales
increased 8.8% as compared to the first nine months of last year. Cost of
sales increased by $1.05 billion or 14.7% while the gross profit margin
percentage was 37.7% in the first nine months of fiscal 1995 and 37.8% in the
comparable period last year. Packaged Foods gross profit margin declined and the
mix of sales was more heavily weighted toward Packaged Foods which have lower
gross profit margins than Packaged Consumer Products.
Selling, general and administrative expenses of $3.92 billion were $522 million
or 15.4% higher than the first nine months of last year. The increase was
primarily due to acquisitions, the weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to
foreign currencies and increases in advertising and promotion expense in all of
the Corporation's lines of business. Net interest expense was $137.8 million
compared to $100.2 million in the prior year. The $37.6 million increase
resulted from higher interest rates and increased long term debt levels.
The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109
(SFAS 109) "Accounting for Income Taxes" at the start of fiscal 1994. The
cumulative effect of initially applying this statement resulted in a charge of
$35 million or $0.07 per share in the first quarter of fiscal 1994. The effect
of this new standard on income tax expense, exclusive of the cumulative effect
adjustment, for the nine months ended April 2, 1994 was not material.
The effective tax rate, excluding the cumulative impact of adopting SFAS 109,
was 34.4% in the first nine months of fiscal 1995 and 35.0% in the first nine
months of fiscal 1994. This was primarily due to lower foreign taxes.
Excluding the cumulative impact of the accounting change, net income increased
7.4% to $583 million while net income per share increased 7.3% to $1.17 from
$1.09 last year. Including the cumulative impact of the accounting change, net
income increased 14.8% and net income per share increased 14.7%.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
The weakening of the U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies had the effect
of increasing the Corporation's consolidated assets and liabilities from July
2, 1994. The growth in the elements of working capital excluding the impact of
foreign currency changes and acquisitions are quantified in the Consolidated
Statements of Cash Flows on page 7 of this document.
Excluding the impact of foreign currency changes there were no significant
changes in the Corporation's financial position.

<PAGE> 11
RESTRUCTURING
On June 6, 1994, the Corporation announced a restructuring of its worldwide
operations which will result in the closure of 94 manufacturing and
distribution facilities and the severance of 9,900 employees. Through April 1,
1995, 35 facilities have been closed and 5,909 employees severed. Severance
benefits are being paid over time as opposed to a lump sum distribution. A
reconciliation of the restructuring reserves through April 1, 1995 is presented
on page 12 of this document.
Restructuring actions are expected to be substantially completed by 1996, and
the Corporation expects to fund the costs of the plan from internal sources and
available borrowing capacity.
The Corporation expects the restructuring plan to begin lowering operating
costs in fiscal 1995 and to generate increasing savings in subsequent years,
growing to an annual savings of approximately $250 million in fiscal 1998.
Through the first nine months of fiscal 1995, savings from the restructuring
have totaled $48 million; however, a significant portion of this benefit has
been used for business building initiatives and profit improvements.
