                    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
September 30, 1995 and 1994 and the financial position as of September 30, 1995
and December 31, 1994.

     References to "the Company" are to CPC International Inc. and its
consolidated subsidiaries.  These  statements  should be read in conjunction
with the consolidated financial statements and the related footnotes to these
statements  contained in the Company's Annual Report to  Stockholders which
notes were incorporated by reference in Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
December 31, 1994.

2.  ACQUISITIONS

     In the first quarter of 1995, the Company's Mexican corn refining business
entered into a joint venture with Arancia, S.A. de C.V., a corn refining
business located in Mexico.  This venture expects to have annual sales of
approximately $250 million and will be accounted for on the equity method.
Also in the first quarter the Company acquired a dessert business in Hong Kong
for $2 million.  In the second quarter of 1995, the Company acquired the
Lesieur mayonnaise and salad dressing business in France, which has sales of
approximately $100 million.  In July, the Company announced that it had
acquired Golden Wonder Pot Noodle instant hot snacks business in the United
Kingdom for $280 million.  This business has annual sales of approximately $100
million.

     On October 2, 1995, the Company acquired the nationwide baking business of
Kraft Foods, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Philip Morris Companies
Inc., for approximately $865 million. The business has $1.2 billion in sales
and includes four major market-leading brands: Entenmann's sweet baked
products, Freihofer's and Oroweat breads, and Boboli Italian bread shells.
Entenmann's is the 14th largest food brand in the United States by dollar
sales.  The acquisition will be treated as a purchase.

   The details of businesses acquired in 1995, as shown above, are based on
estimates which will be finalized later in the year.


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.



                                       6
<PAGE>   8
    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 September 30, 1995, the Company had forward exchange contracts to
deliver $297 million of foreign currencies comprising $70 million in British
pounds, $70 million in Italian lira, $55 million in Dutch guilders, $85 million
in French francs, and $17 million in various other currencies. The Company also
had, at September 30, 1995, contracts to purchase $22 million worth of foreign
currencies primarily, 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.

    At September 30, 1995, the Company had $50 million notional amount of
interest rate swap agreements outstanding.  A portion of the Company's variable
interest rate debt position was hedged with swap agreements with a weighted
average receive rate of 5.35% and a weighted average pay rate of 5.98%.

    In conjunction with the October 2, 1995 purchase of the Kraft Foods baking
business the Company, at September 30, 1995, had entered into two interest rate
futures contracts maturing on January 16, 1996, which locked in a fixed
interest rate on U.S.  Treasury Bonds for 10 years of 6.22% on a notional
amount of $200 million.  The market rate for these instruments at September 30,
1995 was 6.17%.  On October 2, 1995, the Company entered into another contract
for $100 million with a rate of 6.24%.


                                       7
<PAGE>   9

     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 management'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 September 30, 1995 and December 31, 1994, the Company had commodity
futures contracts to purchase primarily corn totaling $99 million and $138
million, respectively.  The commodity futures contracts at September 30, 1995,
principally call for delivery in the period October 1995 to March 1996.
Contracts for delivery beyond December 31, 1995, aggregate about $71 million,
of which $70 million is due in January 1996.  At September 30, 1995, the
Company had unrealized gains of $12 million on these contracts.

7.  RESTRUCTURING CHARGE AND UNUSUAL ITEMS

    During the third quarter of 1995 the Company sold its 50% interest in Pekin
Energy Company, an ethanol production facility located in Illinois and a small
insecticide business in Brazil.  The Company also announced the closing of a
consumer foods plant in Santa Fe Springs, California as well as the realignment
of several production facilities and sales force reorganization for both
consumer foods and corn refining operations around the world.  The net effect
of these transactions was a pre-tax charge of $3 million.


                                       8
<PAGE>   10
    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 September 30, 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 restructuring is expected to be completed by June 30, 1996.

    At September 30, 1995, $57 million was included in current liabilities and
$8 million was included in noncurrent liabilities.


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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

    Third-quarter earnings per common share rose 14.5% to $.95 compared to $.83
in the third quarter of 1994.  Net income of $142.2 million was 13.4% higher
than the $125.4 million earned during the quarter last year.  The results
included a net pre-tax charge of $3 million, or $.01 per share, comprising a
$75 million charge in the quarter for plant closures and sales force
reorganization and an offsetting gain from two third-quarter divestitures: the
sale of CPC's 50% share of Pekin Energy Company, an ethanol business; and the
sale of a small insecticide business in Brazil.  The number of average shares
outstanding was lower, benefiting earnings per share by one percentage point.

    Earnings per share for the first nine months advanced 16% to $2.64,
excluding a 1994 restructuring charge of $.92 per share.  Net income for the
nine months rose 14% to $395.3 million, on the same basis.  (All comparisons
below exclude the impact of the 1994 charge.  Divisional results exclude the
1995 net charge of $3 million noted above.)

      Worldwide sales for the third quarter rose 13% to $2.05 billion compared
to sales of $1.81 billion in 1994, chiefly due to good volume growth in both
the consumer foods and corn refining businesses.  Worldwide operating income
for the third quarter advanced 11.2% to $269.4 million from $242.3 million in
the same period last year.  The company increased marketing spending
substantially during the quarter.

      Finance charges were higher, due to higher borrowing levels for
acquisitions and somewhat higher interest rates.

      Nine-month sales rose 11.7%, and worldwide operating income was 13%
higher, compared to the first nine months of last year.

      Commenting on the results, C.R. Shoemate, chairman and chief executive
officer of CPC, said, "Stimulated by higher marking spending in the last
several quarters, volume growth continues to be the main driver of our
progress. Again our marketing expenditures were up, this quarter 24%, with all
four consumer foods divisions investing behind our brands at significantly
higher rates compared to last year.  The savings we are gaining from our
restructuring activities as well as currency gains are supporting this
increased marketing spending.

      "A recent highlight has been the purchase of the Kraft baking business,
which we completed October 2.  This added four great baking brands to our
already strong portfolio.  The Entenmann's, Freihofer's, Boboli, and Oroweat
businesses fit extremely well with our Thomas', Arnold, Sahara, and Brownberry
businesses, and we expect to realize synergies from the consolidation very
quickly."

CONSUMER FOODS

      CPC's consumer foods business posted a third-quarter sales increase of
15% to $1.73 billion from $1.5 billion in the comparable quarter last year, and
operating income from consumer foods was up 15% to $210.6 million.  The results
reflected especially the continuing strong performance of the company's
European and Latin American businesses.

      For the nine months, consumer foods sales grew 13% to $5.11 billion, and
operating income was $629.2 million, or 16% higher.

      Best Foods, CPC's North American consumer foods business, reported flat
third-quarter sales, with slightly higher volumes.  However, despite
significantly higher marketing spending, operating income was up 2% on improved
margins as the effects of restructuring began to take hold.  Volumes of
mayonnaise, corn oil, syrups, and Knorr products rose, while volumes of peanut
butter and pasta were lower.  Specialty baking volumes were flat.

      In the nine-month period, Best Foods' sales and operating income were
each up about 1.5%.

      Third-quarter sales of CPC's European consumer foods business grew 24% on
better volumes and stronger currencies.  The Lesieur dressings business,
acquired in February, contributed significantly to the sales gain, although it
is not yet adding  to profits.  European profits overall advanced 14%, chiefly
due to improved efficiencies from restructuring.  Substantial currency gains in
the quarter were largely reinvested in marketing.

      For the nine-month period, sales grew 19%, and operating income was 15%
higher.

      CPC's Latin American consumer foods business posted sales growth of
10.4%. Operating income leapt more than 50%, compared to last year's third
quarter when the severe economic downturn in Brazil had a strong negative
effect on CPC's results.  The improvement this quarter came primarily from
significantly higher volumes, as growth in this region generally returns to
more normal levels.

      In the first nine months, sales advanced 14%, with operating income
growing 60%.

      In Asia sales and volume growth momentum for the quarter and the nine
months continued very strong.  Operating income grew about 2% in the quarter,
as the company continues to invest in marketing and infrastructure for the
future.

CORN REFINING

      Third-quarter results for CPC's corn refining business showed a modest
increase in sales, and volumes grew 6.5%.  Third-quarter operating income,
however, was flat in comparison to last year, since this quarter's results do
not include earnings from Peking Energy Company, which was sold during the
quarter.

      For the nine-month period, corn refining sales were up 3.4% on strong
volume growth.  Operating income was 5.1% higher.

                    CPC INTERNATIONAL INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                    COMPUTATION OF EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE
                 NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 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 September 30:

                            2.2%          1.9%
</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.
