NOTE 1 - General:

   Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
single segment industry company engaged in the business of manufacturing and
distributing premium ice cream and other frozen dairy products.

   The consolidated financial statements for the thirteen and thirty-nine week
periods ended September 24, 1994 and September 25, 1993, have not been audited
by independent public accountants, but include all adjustments, consisting of
normal recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated operating results for the periods.  The
statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The operating
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for an entire year.  The aforementioned statements should be read in
conjunction with the Company's Annual Report to Stockholders for the year ended
December 25, 1993.


NOTE 2 - Financial Statement Presentation:

   Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements in order to conform to the current presentation.

The potentially dilutive effect of the convertible subordinated debentures and
other common stock equivalents was anti-dilutive for the thirteen and
thirty-nine week periods ended September 24, 1994. Accordingly, fully diluted
net income per share presented is equivalent to primary net income per share.

NOTE 5 - Goodwill and Distribution Rights:

   On January 4, 1994, the Company entered into a long-term distribution
agreement with Sunbelt Distributors, Inc. ("Sunbelt"), the leading independent
direct-store-delivery ice cream distributor in Texas. Under the agreement, the
Company paid Sunbelt $10,970,000 in cash to secure the long-term exclusive
right to have its products distributed by Sunbelt in Texas and certain parts of
Louisiana and Arkansas. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company
recorded $11,321,000 in distribution rights, including $351,000 in transaction
costs.


NOTE 6 - Common Stock

   On June 14, 1994, the Company completed a transaction (the "Nestle
Agreement") with an affiliate of Nestle USA, Inc. ("Nestle"), whereby Nestle
purchased three million newly issued shares of common stock of the Company for
$32 per share and warrants to purchase an additional two million shares at an
exercise price of $32 per share. Warrants for one million shares will expire on
June 14, 1997 and warrants for the other million shares will expire on June 14,
1999. Nestle paid an aggregate of $10,000,000 for the two million warrants.
Total proceeds from the issuance of the initial three million shares and the
two million warrants was $106,000,000. In connection with the Nestle Agreement,
the Company incurred transaction costs of $3,504,000 which were recorded as a
charge against capital in excess of par.

The Company has the right to cause Nestle to exercise the warrants at $24 per
share subject to certain conditions at any time before June 14, 1997. The
Company also has the right to cause Nestle to exercise the warrants at any time
through the warrant expiration dates at $32 per share if the average trading
price of the common stock exceeds $60 during a 130 trading day period, subject
to certain conditions. Furthermore, before June 14, 1999, if the average
trading price of the common stock equals or exceeds $60 during a 130 trading
day period, Nestle will be required to pay an additional $2 for each share
purchased.

In addition to the Nestle Agreement, the Company entered into a distribution
agreement with Nestle Ice Cream Company to distribute Nestle's frozen novelty
and ice cream products in certain markets beginning in 1995.

During the first three quarters of 1994, the Company repurchased and retired
2,891,000 shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $21.38 to $25.63
under a newly authorized plan to repurchase up to 5 million shares through open
market purchases and negotiated transactions. In addition, the Company
repurchased and retired 40,000 shares of its common stock at prices ranging
from $22.00 to $28.69 from employees who previously acquired shares under
employee stock plans. In connection with these repurchases, the Company charged
the excess over par value for shares repurchased to capital in excess of par
rather than the previous practice of charging to retained earnings. The
practice commenced in the third quarter of 1994, retroactive to the beginning
of fiscal year 1994.


NOTE 7 - Subsequent Event:

   Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased and retired 184,000
shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $25.13 to $25.75 under the
newly authorized plan. (See Note 6.)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended September 24, 1994 Compared with Thirteen Weeks Ended
September 25, 1993

   Consolidated net sales for the third quarter of 1994 increased 20% to
$168,704,000 compared with $140,066,000 for the same period last year.  Sales
of the Company's brands increased 21% and represented 65% of consolidated net
sales in the third quarter of both 1994 and 1993.  The increase related
primarily to higher unit sales of the Company's established brands in all
markets, led by Dreyer's and Edy's Frozen Yogurt. To a lesser extent, the
increase related to higher unit sales of Dreyer's and Edy's Novelties (Dreyer's
and Edy's Ice Cream Bars, Tropical Fruit Bars, Yogurt Bars and Grand Cones),
led by the recent market introduction of Grand Cones. The effect of price
increases for the Company's brands was not significant.  Sales of products
purchased from other manufacturers (partner brands) increased 20% and
represented 35% of consolidated net sales in the third quarter of both 1994 and
1993.  The effect of price increases for partner brands was not significant.

During the second quarter of 1994, the Company embarked on a five year plan to
accelerate the sales of its Company brands by greatly increasing its consumer
marketing efforts and expanding its distribution system into additional markets
(the "Marketing Plan").  Under this Marketing Plan, the Company will increase
the amount of its spending for advertising and consumer promotion from a level
of approximately $12,000,000 in 1993 to approximately $40,000,000 in 1994, and
plans to spend approximately $50,000,000 annually on these marketing activities
from 1995 through 1998.  The Company began selling its Edy's branded products
in the Boston, Charlotte and Albany markets this year, in addition to the
previously announced introduction of Dreyer's line of products into the Houston
market.  The Company anticipates that the Marketing Plan will continue to
materially reduce earnings during the next twelve to twenty-four month period
below levels that would have been attained under the former business plan. The
potential benefits of the new strategy are increased market share and future
earnings above those levels that would be attained in the absence of the
strategy. Dreyer's believes that these benefits are not likely to impact the
Company's results until 1996 at the earliest. No assurance can be given that
the anticipated benefits of the strategy will be achieved. The success of the
strategy will depend upon, among other things, consumer responsiveness to the
Marketing Plan, competitors' activities, and general economic conditions.

Cost of goods sold increased $21,080,000 or 21% over the third quarter of 1993,
while the overall gross margin decreased slightly from 26.8% in the third
quarter of 1993 to 26.7% in the third quarter of 1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the third quarter of 1994
increased $15,956,000 or 67% as compared to the same period of 1993. This
increase related primarily to an increase in overall marketing expenses of
$15,490,000. Included in the Company's overall marketing expenses was
$17,288,000 for advertising and consumer promotion costs associated with the
Company's previously announced Marketing Plan.

Interest expense was $191,000 or 9% higher in the third quarter of 1994 as
compared with the same period in 1993, due primarily to the higher interest
rate of the convertible subordinated debentures issued in the third quarter of
1993.

Income taxes decreased $3,834,000 reflecting substantially lower taxable income
and a lower effective tax rate of 38.8% in the third quarter of 1994 as
compared to an effective tax rate of 44.4% in 1993. The higher effective rate
in 1993 resulted primarily from the retroactive federal tax rate increase
recorded in the third quarter of 1993.

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended September 24, 1994 Compared With Thirty-Nine Weeks
Ended September 25, 1993

   Consolidated net sales for the thirty-nine weeks ended September 24, 1994
increased 17% to $428,432,000 compared with $365,869,000 for the same period
last year. Sales of the Company's brands increased 21% and represented 65% of
consolidated net sales as compared with 63% in the third quarter of 1993. The
increase related primarily to higher unit sales of the Company's established
brands in all markets, led by Dreyer's and Edy's Frozen Yogurt and, to a lesser
extent, higher unit sales of Dreyer's and Edy's Novelties, led by the recent
market introduction of Grand Cones. The effect of price increases for the
Company's brands was not significant.  Sales of partner brands increased 11%,
and represented 35% of consolidated net sales as compared with 37% in the same
period last year. The effect of price increases for partner brands was not
significant.

Cost of goods sold increased $47,276,000 or 17% as compared with 1993, while
the overall gross margin decreased slightly from 24.9% in 1993 to 24.8% in
1994.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first three quarters of
1994 increased $36,837,000 or 61% as compared to the same period in 1993. This
increase related primarily to an increase in overall marketing expenses of
$34,922,000. Included in the Company's overall marketing expenses was
$34,923,000 for advertising and consumer promotion costs associated with the
Company's previously announced Marketing Plan.

Interest expense in the first three quarters of 1994 was $1,338,000 or 24%
higher than in the same period in the prior year due primarily to the higher
interest rate of the convertible subordinated debentures issued in the third
quarter of 1993.

Income taxes decreased $9,045,000 reflecting substantially lower taxable income
as well as a lower effective tax rate. The effective tax rate for the first
three quarters of 1994 was 38.8% as compared to 40.4% for the same period in
1993. The higher effective rate in 1993 resulted primarily from the retroactive
federal tax rate increase partially offset by the reversal of federal taxes
provided in prior periods and, to a lesser extent, a lower rate for state
income taxes.


LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

    Working capital at September 24, 1994 increased $4,444,000 from year end
1993 due primarily to the seasonal increase in trade receivables and
inventories, offset in part by the increase in accounts payable and accrued
liabilities. Cash was provided primarily from the net proceeds from the Nestle
Agreement of $102,496,000. (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.) This was the primary source used to fund the repurchase of common
stock of $68,505,000, the $23,501,000 increase in property, plant and
equipment, and the $15,540,000 increase in goodwill and distribution rights
resulting primarily from the Sunbelt distribution rights agreement. (See Note 5
of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.)

On June 14, 1994, the Company completed a transaction with an affiliate of
Nestle USA, Inc., whereby Nestle purchased three million newly issued shares of
common stock of the Company for $32 per share and warrants to purchase an
additional two million shares at an exercise price of $32 per share. Total
proceeds from the issuance of the initial three million shares and the two
million warrants was $106,000,000. (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated
Financial Statements.)

The Company repurchased and retired 2,891,000 shares of its common stock at 
prices ranging from $21.38 to $25.63 under a newly authorized plan to
repurchase up to 5 million shares through open market purchases and negotiated
transactions. Subsequent to quarter end, the Company repurchased and retired
184,000 shares of its common stock at prices ranging from $25.13 to $25.75
under the newly authorized plan. (See Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements.)

At September 24, 1994, the Company had $4,644,000 in cash and cash equivalents,
and an unused credit line of $50,000,000.

The Company believes that its cash and cash equivalents, its credit line, its
internally generated cash and financing capacity are adequate to meet
anticipated operating and capital requirements.
