                    CPC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements  included herein
were  prepared  by   management  and  reflect   all adjustments  (consisting
solely  of  normal  recurring  items)   which are,  in the  opinion  of
management,  necessary  to  present a  fair  statement  of  results  of
operations  for  the  interim periods  ended    March 31,  1995  and  1994 and
the   financial position  as  of  March  31,  1995  and December 31, 1994.

       References to "the Company" are to CPC International Inc. and its

6. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

         FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - The carrying values of cash
equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and short-term debt
approximate fair values.  The value of long-term debt at December 31, 1994 was
$870 million.  The fair value of long-term debt was based on quotes obtained
from brokers.

         FOREIGN EXCHANGE CONTRACTS - The Company's policy is to hedge its
exposure to foreign currency cash flows resulting from planned dividends, fees
and royalties, intercompany loans, and other similar transactions.  The Company
also hedges certain net investments in foreign operations with foreign exchange
contracts or with borrowings denominated in the particular foreign currency.
As a matter of policy, the Company does not speculate on foreign currencies.
Gains and losses, both realized and unrealized, on financial instruments that
hedge operating activities and related cashflows, flow through income in the
same period as the items being hedged.  Gains and losses, both realized and
unrealized, on financial instruments that hedge the Company's investments in
foreign operations are recognized as part of the cumulative translation
adjustment in stockholders' equity.

         At March 31, 1995, the Company had forward exchange contracts to
deliver $419 million of foreign currencies comprising $126 million in German
marks, $74 million in British pounds, $68 million in Italian lira, $48 million
in Dutch guilders, $86 million in French francs, and $17 million in various
other currencies. The Company also had, at March 31, 1995, contracts to
purchase $9 million worth of Austrian schillings.

         At December 31, 1994, the Company had forward exchange contracts to
deliver $414 million of foreign currencies comprising $137 million in German
marks, $87 million in British pounds, $14 million in Swiss francs, $71 million
in Italian lira, $26 million in Dutch guilders, $52 million in French francs,
and $27 million in various other currencies.  The Company also had, at December
31, 1994, contracts to purchase $56 million worth of foreign currencies
consisting of $15 million in Italian lira, $13 million in Austrian schillings,
and $28 million in other currencies.

         INTEREST RATE SWAPS - The Company utilizes interest rate swap
agreements to minimize its financing costs and to balance its current and
non-current asset levels with floating and fixed-rate debt positions.  The
Company's risk related to swap agreements is limited to the cost of replacing
such agreements at current market rates.  The Company continually monitors its
positions and credit ratings of its counterparties, and limits the number of
agreements it enters into with any one party.  Management believes the risk of
incurring a material loss is remote.  Any interest rate differential on
interest rate swaps is recognized as an adjustment to interest expense over the
term of the agreement.





                                       7

<PAGE>   9



         At March 31, 1995, the Company had $250 million notional amount of
interest rate swap agreements outstanding.  A portion of the Company's variable
interest rate debt position was hedged with $150 million notional amount of
swap agreements with a weighted average receive rate of 6.10% and a weighted
average pay rate of 5.47%. The remaining agreements with maturity dates through
2000 effectively convert fixed interest rate debt into variable interest rate
debt with a weighted average receive rate of 5.88% and a weighted average pay
rate of 6.13%.

         At December 31, 1994, the Company had $280 million notional amount of
interest rate swap agreements outstanding.  A portion of the Company's variable
interest rate debt position was hedged with $100 million notional amount of
swap agreements with a weighted average receive rate of 6.50% and a weighted
average pay rate of 5.09%. The remaining agreements with maturity dates through
2000 effectively convert fixed interest rate debt into variable interest rate
debt with a weighted average receive rate of 5.89% and a weighted average pay
rate of 6.50%.

         COMMODITIES - The Company follows a policy of fixing the cost, with
commodities future contracts, of certain of its key North American raw material
purchases in line with production requirements to minimize cost risk due to
market fluctuations.  Such raw materials may or may not be hedged at any given
time based on manangement's decisions as to the need to fix the cost of such
raw materials.  In addition, commodity futures contracts are employed to 
fix the raw material cost of certain fixed price sales contracts of the corn
refining business.  Gains and losses arising from such hedging transactions are
included with the cost of raw material purchases.

         The Company's products are manufactured from a number of raw materials,
including soybean and other edible oils, peanuts, corn and wheat, all of which
are, and are expected to continue to be, in adequate supply.  However, as
market prices of these materials depend on a number of unpredictable factors,
such as farm plantings and weather, resulting fluctuations may have an effect
on the Company's earnings to the extent such fluctuations cannot, for
competitive reasons, be passed on immediately through pricing adjustments of
the Company's products.  It is the possible exposure to such relatively
short-term cost/pricing imbalances that the Company attempts to cover through
fixing, when appropriate, the costs of certain commodities in the short term by
using commodities futures contracts.

         At March 31, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company had commodity
futures contracts to purchase primarily corn totaling $93 million and $138
million, respectively.  The commodity futures contracts at March 31, 1995,
principally call for delivery in the period April to December 31, 1995.
Contracts for delivery beyond June 30, 1995, aggregate about $70 million, of
which $36 million is due in July, $19 million in September, and the balance
later in the year.  At March 31, 1995, the Company had unrealized gains of $3
million on these contracts.

7.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE

         In June 1994, the Company recorded a charge of $227 million, $137
million after taxes or $.92 per common share, to recognize the cost of
restructuring.  This program compresses into a period from mid-1994 to mid-1996
restructuring activities needed to meet the competitive challenge of
increasingly unifying markets throughout the world.

         The majority of the charge relates to the Company's European and North
American consumer foods businesses.  The restructuring charge and its
utilization at March 31, 1995 is summarized below:

===================================================================
</TABLE>

         The charge is designed to cover the cost of a phased reduction of
about 2,600 employees worldwide and the cost of realignment of manufacturing
capacity.  The realignment will be achieved through a combination of plant
closures, specializations, and relocations of production.  In total, 24
consumer foods plants and four corn refining plants will be affected by the
restructuring.

         The time period for completion of the restructuring is from a few
months at some sites to two years in instances where alternative production
facilities are to be constructed.

         At March 31, 1995, $57 million was included in current liabilities and
$35 million was included in noncurrent liabilities.


ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION
         AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    First quarter 1995 earnings per share advanced 16% to $.73 compared to $.63
per share in the same quarter of 1994.  Net income rose 13% to $111 million
from $98.1 million in the same period last year.  The results reflect strong
operating gains in most areas of the business.

    CPC's worldwide sales rose 13% to $1.95 billion from $1.74 billion in last
year's first quarter.  Volume growth of 7.7%, about one-half of which came from
acquisitions, was the chief factor in the sales gain. Favorable currency
effects also contributed.

    Operating income advanced 13% to $217.5 million, compared to $192.7 million
in the same period last year.  Financing costs increased in the quarter on
higher borrowing levels and interest rates.  A slightly lower effective tax
rate of 38.5%, compared with 39.5% for 1994, benefited results.

    Commenting on the company's first quarter results, Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer C.R. Shoemate said, "This has been an excellent quarter for
all our international consumer foods operations and for our North American and
Latin American corn refining businesses.  By far the most important factor in
the progress of all these operations was volume growth.  This included a
dramatic volume increase in Latin American corn refining, coming chiefly from
the addition of a highly successful new product in Brazil, high maltose corn
syrup for the brewing industry.  Our Brazilian consumer foods business also
posted outstanding results.

    "After strong fourth quarter sales and volume growth in North America last
year, Best Foods' first quarter sales increased 4%, while operating income
declined 7.9%.  The drop in operating income, however, needs to be seen in
relation to an aggressive boost in marketing spending, up over 18%, and our new
product launches.  We introduced Hellmann's and Best Foods low fat mayonnaise
during the first quarter, and are currently launching nationally Hellmann's and
Best Foods One Step dressings.  We expect that our businesses will benefit from
the heavier first quarter spending later in the year."

CONSUMER FOODS

    CPC's worldwide sales of consumer foods advanced 13% to $1.65 billion
compared to the first quarter sales in 1994. First quarter operating income
from consumer foods was 14% higher, advancing to $186.3 million.

    Best Foods posted sales growth of 4% from growth in the Knorr business and
from acquisitions. Volumes of specialty baking, Knorr, and Hispanic products as
well as pasta were all higher, while Mazola corn oil volumes were significantly
lower, after a solid increase in the fourth quarter of 1994.  Volumes of
Hellmann's mayonnaise and Skippy peanut butter declined more modestly.
    Best Foods' operating income declined 7.9% as a result of strengthened
marketing expenditures previously discussed.

    CPC's European consumer foods business recorded a sales gain of 14%, half
of which was due to higher volumes from acquisitions, primarily the company's
new business in South Africa.  Operating income from European operations grew
13%, with most of the increase coming from existing businesses.  The strength
of European currencies, when translated into dollars, contributed importantly
to the gains.

    CPC's Latin American consumer foods business recorded first quarter sales
growth of 20% and a 45% increase in operating income, compared to sales and
earnings in a strong first quarter last year.  The sales gains reflected 12%
volume growth and healthy pricing levels.  Higher volumes, combined with better
margins, accounted for the advance in operating income.

    In Mexico, where the value of the peso dropped substantially at the end of
our first quarter, CPC's operations are performing strongly.  The company
expects that second quarter results in Mexico as well as the rest of Latin
America will also be strong, although the first quarter Latin American gain
levels are likely to moderate somewhat for the year as a whole, as the division
boosts marketing expenditures.

         CPC's Asian consumer foods operations posted a 26% sales gain. The
company continues to invest aggressively in infrastructure, selling, and
marketing in its new operations.  As a result operating income increased only
slightly for the quarter.  CPC is currently renovating a plant in North China
for production of Knorr products and mayonnaise. This is the company's second
venture in China; in South China a newly-constructed CPC plant is now in
operation.

CORN REFINING

    First quarter sales of CPC's corn refining business rose 11.2%, on sharply
higher volumes, while operating income rose 13%.  North American corn refining
operations posted a strong gain in operating income of 9.1%, resulting from
good volumes and better margins.  The Latin American corn refining business
reported an operating income gain of 19% on the strength of sharply increased
volumes, which overcame lower margins.

    Looking ahead, the company's corn refining business expects to continue
building its dynamic new business in high maltose corn syrup, extending the
product from Brazil to other countries in Latin America.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    The Company's primary sources and uses of funds as well as its general
financial policy are discussed on pages 22-26 of the 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders which were incorporated by reference in Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 1994.

    The Company's capital expenditures are expected to be approximately $410
million in 1995.

                    CPC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                    COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
                   THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1995 AND 1994


    Earnings per common share for CPC International Inc. is based on net income
available to common stockholders and the average number of common shares
outstanding during each period.  Net income available to common shareholders has
been reduced by the pro rata ESOP preferred stock dividend net of the tax
benefit.  A potentially dilutive effect on earnings per common share results
from the operation of the 1993 Stock and Performance Plan, the deferred
compensation and stock options arising from a previous executive incentive
compensation plan, and the Deferred Compensation Plan for Outside Directors. The
effect on earnings per common share resulting from the assumed exercise of
outstanding options and delivery of deferred stock awards under these programs
is not material.  The maximum number of shares of common stock issuable and
deliverable under such assumptions, without giving effect to the assumed
reacquisitions of common stock with the proceeds from options exercised,
amounted to the following percentages of the average number of shares of common
stock outstanding at March 31:

                            2.1%          1.7%
</TABLE>

    Since the dilution resulting from deferred stock awards and stock options is
less than 3%, these items have not been considered in the computation of shares
outstanding.  Furthermore, the potentially dilutive effect derived from using
the if-converted method in calculating fully diluted earnings per share for the
ESOP would not cause the dilution to exceed 3% even when considered with the
aforementioned programs.
