(1)  The Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
     of Operations which follows these notes contains additional information on
     the results of operations and the financial position of the company. Those
     comments should be read in conjunction with these notes. The company's
     annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended April 27, 1994
     includes additional information about the company, its operations, and its
     financial position, and should be read in conjunction with this quarterly
     report on Form 10-Q.
 
(2)  The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to the seasonal nature
     of the company's business. Certain prior year amounts have been
     reclassified in order to conform with the fiscal 1995 presentation.
 
(3)  In the opinion of management, all adjustments, which are of a normal and
     recurring nature, necessary for a fair statement of the results of
     operations of these interim periods have been included.
 
(4)  The composition of inventories at the balance sheet dates was as follows:

(5)  The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal, state,
     U.S. possessions and foreign income taxes. The company operates in an
     international environment with significant operations in various locations
     outside the United States. Accordingly, the consolidated income tax rate is
     a composite rate reflecting the earnings in the various locations and the
     applicable tax rates.
 
(6)  On September 6, 1994, the company replaced its line of credit agreements
     supporting domestic commercial paper. The new line of credit agreements
     total $1.6 billion, of which $800 million expires on September 5, 1995, at
     which time it is anticipated that a new one year facility will be
     established. The remaining $800 million expires in September 1999. Fiscal
     year 1994 domestic line of credit agreements of $1.5 billion have been
     terminated.
 
     On December 8, 1994, the company entered into an agreement to issue
     approximately $300 million of 8.0% three-year bonds in the international
     capital markets. The proceeds from this debt issuance will be utilized to
     repay domestic commercial paper. The company has agreed to a swap
     arrangement that will effectively convert the fixed interest rate
     associated with the bonds to a variable rate based on LIBOR.
 
     As a result of the above, $1.1 billion of the $1.4 billion domestic
     commercial paper outstanding is classified as long-term debt as of October
     26, 1994. As of fiscal year end 1994, $750 million of domestic commercial
     paper was classified as long-term debt.
 
(7)  On May 16, 1994, the company acquired the Borden Foodservice Group, a unit
     of Borden, Inc. The group's product range includes a single-serve line of
     condiments. On July 22, 1994, the company announced the completion of the
     acquisition of the Farley's infant food and adult nutrition business from
     The Boots Company PLC of Nottingham, England for a total purchase price of
     approximately $140 million. Farley's product offerings include a wide range
     of infant

     feeding products from formulas to post-weaning biscuits, cereals and dry
     meals. During the first quarter of fiscal 1995, the company also made other
     small acquisitions.
 
     On September 30, 1994, the company acquired the Family Products Division of
     Glaxo India Limited for a total purchase price of approximately $55
     million. Glaxo's Family Products Division, based in Bombay, produces a wide
     range of nutritional drinks, baby foods and other consumer products.
 
     All of the above acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and,
     accordingly, the respective purchase prices have been allocated on a
     preliminary basis to the respective assets and liabilities based on their
     estimated fair values as of the dates of the acquisitions. Operating
     results of these acquisitions have been included in the Consolidated
     Statements of Income from the dates of the acquisitions.
 
     On December 2, 1994, the company acquired The All American Gourmet Company
     for a total purchase price of approximately $200 million. All American
     Gourmet produces the Budget Gourmet frozen meals and side dishes and was
     formerly a part of Kraft General Foods, Inc.
 
     Pro forma results of the company, assuming the above-noted acquisitions had
     been made at the beginning of each period presented, would not be
     materially different from the results reported.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
of Operations.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             SIX MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 26, 1994 AND OCTOBER 27, 1993
 
     For the six months ended October 26, 1994, sales increased $320.4 million,
or 9%, to $3.71 billion from $3.39 billion recorded in the same period a year
ago. The sales increase came primarily from volume increases of 5% and
acquisitions, net of divestitures, of 3%. Price increases and the impact of
foreign currency translation rates each contributed less than one percent to the
sales dollar increase.
 
     Volume increases were noted in most of the company's core products, such as
StarKist tuna, petfoods, Heinz grocery ketchup, sauces and condiments, and
foodservice products, which exhibited growth in Ore-Ida frozen potatoes and
Heinz ketchup.
 
     Price increases on infant food, Ore-Ida frozen potatoes and sauces and
condiments were offset by price decreases on petfoods, pasta and Heinz beans.
 
     Gross profit increased $71.4 million to $1.34 billion from $1.27 billion a
year ago. The ratio of gross profit to sales decreased 1.3% to 36.1%. The
current year's gross profit ratio was negatively impacted by an unfavorable
profit mix related to recent acquisitions and divestitures and higher
foodservice sales, partially offset by operating improvements resulting from the
implementation of the company's restructuring strategy. The prior year's gross
profit ratio was favorably impacted by the divestiture of the Chico-San rice
cake business and lower costs associated with restructuring projects.
 
     Operating income decreased $61.8 million, or 10%, to $558.9 million from
$620.6 million for the same period last year. The decrease in operating income
is primarily attributable to the $127.0 million gain from the sale of the
confectionery and specialty rice businesses in the prior year. Exclusive of the
gain, operating income increased $65.2 million, mainly due to the increase in
gross profit. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.2
million, but decreased as a percentage of net sales reflecting lower
administrative and marketing costs.
 
     Net interest expense for the six months ended October 26, 1994 increased to
$69.6 million from $59.8 million last year due mainly to higher average
short-term borrowings and higher short-term interest rates, offset by a slight
increase in interest income due to higher liquidity as a result of the
divestiture of the confectionery business.
 
     Net income for the six months was $294.3 million compared to $345.3 million
for the same period last year and earnings per share was $1.18 compared to
$1.34. The effective tax rate was 37.5% compared to 36.4% for the same period
last year. The tax rate for the six months ended October 26, 1994 included the
recognition of benefits attributable to prior years' operating losses overseas.
The fiscal 1994 effective tax rate of 36.4% included: the recognition of
benefits attributable to prior years' operating losses overseas; the impact of
changes in U.S. tax law; and a reduction in the statutory rate in Australia.
Fiscal 1995 earnings per share benefited from the effect of a reduction in the
number of common shares outstanding resulting from the company's share
repurchase program.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            THREE MONTHS ENDED OCTOBER 26, 1994 AND OCTOBER 27, 1993
 
     For the three months ended October 26, 1994, sales increased $167.7
million, or 9%, to $1.98 billion from $1.81 billion recorded in the same period
a year ago. The increase is due to volume gains of 4%, acquisitions, net of
divestitures, of 3% and the effect of foreign exchange translation rates of 2%.
The effect of price increases was negligible on results for the quarter.
 
                                       9

     Volume increases were noted in many of the company's core retail product
lines, such as sauces and condiments, 9-Lives canned cat food, infant food,
pasta and Heinz beans. Foodservice volumes continued to show growth in Ore-Ida
frozen potatoes, coated products, bakery products, sauces and condiments, and
Heinz ketchup. These volume gains were partially offset by sales volume
declines, most notably in StarKist tuna, which had benefited from increased
shipments in advance of a price increase in the prior year's second quarter.
 
     Price increases on Ore-Ida foodservice potatoes, infant food and
foodservice sauces and condiments were almost entirely offset by lower prices on
Weight Watchers entrees, Heinz grocery ketchup and petfoods.
 
     Although the Weight Watchers businesses (meetings and foods) were down
slightly for the first quarter, recent indicators show that the downward trend
experienced throughout last year has ended. In the second quarter, volume
improved in frozen foods and attendance increased in markets where new marketing
programs were tested. It is expected that both of these businesses will continue
to exhibit improved performance when the marketing programs are fully
implemented later this year.
 
     Gross profit increased $56.7 million to $705.8 million from $649.0 million
a year ago. The ratio of gross profit to sales decreased slightly to 35.7%. The
current year's gross profit ratio was negatively impacted by an unfavorable
profit mix related to recent acquisitions and divestitures and higher
foodservice sales, partially offset by operating improvements resulting from the
implementation of the company's restructuring strategy.
 
     Operating income decreased $75.3 million, or 21.7%, to $272.1 million from
$347.4 million for the same period last year. The decrease in operating income
is primarily attributable to the $127.0 million gain from the sale of the
confectionery and specialty rice businesses in the prior year, offset by the
increase in gross profit discussed above. Selling, general and administrative
expenses increased by $5.1 million, but decreased as a percentage of net sales
reflecting lower administrative and marketing costs.
 
     Net interest expense increased $9.2 million, or 31.4%, to $38.3 million
from $29.1 million in the second quarter a year ago mainly due to higher
short-term interest rates on higher average short-term borrowings, offset by
slightly higher interest income resulting from higher liquidity as a result of
the divestiture of the confectionery business.
 
     Net income for the quarter was $139.6 million compared to $193.1 million
for the same period last year and earnings per share was $0.56 compared to
$0.75. The prior year's second quarter results included gains of $0.24 per share
resulting from the sale of the company's confectionery and specialty rice
businesses. The tax rate for the second quarter of fiscal 1995 was 37.5%
compared to 37.4% a year ago. The current quarter's tax rate included the
recognition of benefits attributable to prior years' operating losses overseas.
The fiscal 1994 second quarter tax rate included the effect of higher taxes in
Italy as a result of the sale of the Italian confectionery business, offset
partially by the favorable impact of changes in U.S. tax law. Fiscal 1995
earnings per share benefited from the effect of a reduction in the number of
common shares outstanding resulting from the company's share repurchase program.
 
                        LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION
 
     Cash provided by operating activities totaled $182.0 million for the six
month period ended October 26, 1994 compared to $277.4 million last year. The
decrease is mainly due to increased levels of inventories and receivables.
 
     Cash used by investing activities required $380.7 million compared to
providing $31.0 million last year. Cash used for acquisitions in the current
period totaled $263.4 million and resulted from the following acquisitions: the
Family Products Division of Glaxo India Limited; Farley's infant foods and adult
nutrition business from The Boots Company PLC; the Borden Foodservice Group, a
unit of Borden, Inc.; DEGA, a foodservice products company located in Italy; and
other smaller

acquisitions. The prior year's amount included the purchase of the Moore's and
Domani product lines from the Clorox Company for approximately $90.0 million.
Proceeds from divestitures totaled $254.8 million in the first six months of
fiscal 1994, due mainly to the sale of the confectionery and specialty rice
businesses. Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $135.0 million
compared to $131.9 million a year ago.
 
     Financing activities provided $194.3 million for the six months ended
October 26, 1994 compared to using $280.5 million a year ago. Net proceeds on
short-term debt provided $561.6 million in the current period versus using $46.0
million in the prior year's comparable period. Short-term debt proceeds were
used to finance treasury stock purchases of $219.3 million (6.2 million shares)
and dividend payments of $170.4 million in the six months ended October 26,
1994.
 
     On September 13, 1994, the board of directors authorized the repurchase of
up to an additional 10.0 million shares of the company's common stock, which may
take place over an extended period of time. As of October 26, 1994, the company
has repurchased approximately 2.3 million shares of the currently authorized
10.0 million share repurchase program. The previous 10.0 million share
repurchase program was completed during the second quarter of fiscal 1995.
 
     On September 13, 1994, the company's board of directors raised the
quarterly dividend on the company's common stock to $0.36 per share from $0.33
per share, for an indicated annual rate of $1.44 per share. On December 7, 1994,
the board of directors declared the quarterly dividend of $0.36 per share to
shareholders of record as of December 21, 1994, payable January 10, 1995.
 
     On September 6, 1994, the company replaced its line of credit agreements
supporting domestic commercial paper. The new line of credit agreements total
$1.6 billion, of which $800 million expires on September 5, 1995, at which time
it is anticipated that a new one year facility will be established. The
remaining $800 million expires in September 1999. Fiscal year 1994 domestic line
of credit agreements of $1.5 billion have been terminated.
 
     On December 8, 1994, the company entered into an agreement to issue
approximately $300 million of 8.0% three-year bonds in the international capital
markets. The proceeds from this debt issuance will be utilized to repay domestic
commercial paper. The company has agreed to a swap arrangement that will
effectively convert the fixed interest rate associated with the bonds to a
variable rate based on LIBOR.
 
     As a result of the above, $1.1 billion of the $1.4 billion domestic
commercial paper outstanding is classified as long-term debt as of October 26,
1994. As of fiscal year end 1994, $750 million of domestic commercial paper was
classified as long-term debt.
 
     The company's financial position continues to remain strong, enabling it to
meet cash requirements for operations, capital expansion programs and dividends
to shareholders.
 
                               RECENT DEVELOPMENT
 
     On December 2, 1994, the company acquired The All American Gourmet Company
for a total purchase price of approximately $200 million. All American Gourmet
produces the Budget Gourmet frozen meals and side dishes and was formerly a part
of Kraft General Foods, Inc.
