(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 May 3, 1995 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 1996 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 5, 1995, the company amended the line of credit agreements
     which support its domestic commercial paper programs. Total availability
     under the domestic commercial paper programs is $2.0 billion, compared to
     $2.3 billion under the fiscal 1995 programs.
 
     The company amended the line of credit agreements which support the $1.6
     billion domestic commercial paper program. The amended line of credit
     agreements total $1.6 billion, of which $800 million expires on September
     3, 1996 unless otherwise extended and the remaining $800 million expires in
     September 2000. As a result, $800 million of the $1.7 billion domestic
     commercial paper outstanding is classified as long-term debt as of November
     1, 1995. As of May 3, 1995, $800 million of domestic commercial paper was
     classified as long-term debt.
 
     The company also amended the $700 million line of credit agreement which
     supported its short-term privately placed commercial paper program. This
     program initially had been used to finance the acquisition of the North
     American pet food businesses of the Quaker Oats Company. The amended line
     of credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to $400 million and
     expires on September 3, 1996. A portion of the fiscal 1995 privately placed
     commercial paper had previously been repaid through the issuance of
     long-term debt in April 1995.
 
(7)  On September 12, 1995, the company's board of directors authorized a
     three-for-two stock split, effective October 3, 1995. There was no
     adjustment in the stock's par value or the total number of authorized
     common shares. All share and per share amounts reflect the

     three-for-two common stock split, effective October 3, 1995. Where
     appropriate, prior year amounts have been restated.

(8)  On September 12, 1995, the company's board of directors increased the
     quarterly dividend on the company's common stock to $0.26-1/2 per share
     (post-split) from $0.24 per share (post-split), for an indicated annual
     rate of $1.06 per share (post-split).

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 1, 1995 AND OCTOBER 26, 1994
 
     For the six months ended November 1, 1995, sales increased $671.1 million,
or 18%, to $4,382.6 million from $3,711.5 million recorded in the same period a
year ago. The sales increase came primarily from acquisitions (net of
divestitures) of 10%, volume gains of 5%, the favorable effects of foreign
exchange translation rates of 2% and price increases of 1%.
 
     Volume increases were noted in Ore-Ida frozen potatoes, StarKist tuna,
Heinz ketchup, baby food, pasta, coated products, Weight Watchers frozen
entrees, Ore-Ida Bagel Bites and frozen vegetables.
 
     Price increases in single-serve condiments, edible oil,
margarine/shortening, Heinz ketchup and baby food were partially offset by price
decreases in StarKist tuna, chicken and Weight Watchers frozen entrees.
 
     Contributing to the sales dollar increase were the following fiscal 1995
acquisitions: the North American pet food businesses of the Quaker Oats Company
(the "Pet Food Business"); The All American Gourmet Company; the Farley's infant
foods and adult nutrition business; and the Family Products Division of Glaxo
India. During the six months ended November 1, 1995, the company acquired a
majority interest in PMV/Zabreh, a producer of infant formulas and dairy
products located in Zabreh, Moravia, Czech Republic. PMV/Zabreh holds leading
market shares in both the Czech and Slovak Republics for infant formula, sold
through pharmacies under the Sunar and Feminar brand names. The company also
increased its investment to 97% of Kecskemeti Konzervgyar R.T., a processor of
jarred baby foods and juices in Kecskemet, Hungary. Divestitures include a
domestic bulk oil business and an overseas sweetener business.
 
     Gross profit increased $256.8 million to $1,597.2 million from $1,340.4
million a year ago. The ratio of gross profit to sales increased to 36.4% from
36.1%. The current year's gross profit ratio was favorably impacted by cost
reductions and profit mix.
 
     Operating income increased $108.5 million, or 19%, to $667.4 million from
$558.9 million for the same period last year. The increase in operating income
was primarily due to the sales-driven increase in gross profit, partially offset
by increased marketing expenses; higher selling and distribution expenses
related to increased volume; and higher general and administrative expenses
associated with acquisitions.
 
     Net interest expense increased $48.8 million to $118.5 million from $69.6
million a year ago mainly due to higher borrowings resulting from acquisitions
and higher short-term interest rates.
 
     The effective tax rate for the first half of the fiscal year increased to
37.8% from 37.5% for the same period a year ago.
 
     Net income for the current period was $332.6 million, compared to $294.3
million for the same period last year, and earnings per share was $0.88 compared
to $0.78. Earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the
three-for-two stock split, which was effective October 3, 1995.
 
                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
            THREE MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 1, 1995 AND OCTOBER 26, 1994
 
     For the three months ended November 1, 1995, sales increased $312.9
million, or 16%, to $2,288.3 million from $1,975.4 million recorded in the same
period a year ago. The sales increase came primarily from acquisitions (net of
divestitures) of 9%, volume gains of 5%, price increases of 1% and the favorable
effects of foreign exchange translation rates of 1%.
 
                                       9

     Volume increases were noted in Ore-Ida frozen potatoes, Heinz ketchup, baby
food, pasta, StarKist tuna and Weight Watchers frozen entrees.
 
     Price increases in single-serve condiments, Heinz ketchup, baby food and
bakery products were partially offset by price decreases in StarKist seafood and
Heinz soups.
 
     Contributing to the second quarter sales dollar increase were the following
acquisitions: the Pet Food Business; The All American Gourmet Company; the
Family Products Division of Glaxo India; PMV/Zabreh and Kecskemeti Konzervgyar
R.T. Divestitures include a domestic bulk oil business and an overseas sweetener
business.
 
     Gross profit increased $117.2 million to $822.9 million from $705.8 million
a year ago. The ratio of gross profit to sales increased to 36.0% from 35.7%.
The current quarter's gross profit ratio was favorably impacted by cost
reductions and profit mix. The prior year's gross profit ratio was negatively
impacted by an unfavorable profit mix related to certain acquisitions and
divestitures and higher foodservice sales.
 
     Operating income increased $56.8 million, or 21%, to $328.9 million from
$272.1 million for the same period last year. The increase in operating income
was primarily due to the sales-driven increase in gross profit, partially offset
by increased marketing expenses; higher selling and distribution expenses
related to increased volume; and higher general and administrative expenses
associated with acquisitions.
 
     Net interest expense increased $23.8 million to $62.0 million from $38.3
million in the second quarter a year ago mainly due to higher borrowings
resulting from acquisitions and higher short-term interest rates.
 
     The effective tax rate for the second quarter increased to 37.8% from 37.5%
for the same period a year ago.
 
     Net income for the current quarter was $158.2 million compared to $139.6
million for the same period last year, and earnings per share was $0.42 compared
to $0.37. Earnings per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the
three-for-two stock split, which was effective October 3, 1995.

 
                        LIQUIDITY AND FINANCIAL POSITION
 
     Cash provided by operating activities totaled $74.4 million for the six
month period ended November 1, 1995 compared to $182.0 million last year. The
decrease in cash provided by operations is mainly due to increased working
capital needs to support higher sales volumes.
 
     Cash used by investing activities required $125.5 million compared to
$380.7 million last year. Cash used for acquisitions in the current period
totaled $46.0 million, primarily due to the purchase of PMV/Zabreh in the Czech
Republic and the additional investment in Kecskemeti Konzervgyar R.T. in
Hungary. Acquisitions in the prior year's comparable period totaled $263.4
million and included the Family Products Division of Glaxo India; Farley's
infant foods and adult nutrition business; the Borden Foodservice Group; DEGA, a
foodservice company located in Italy; and other smaller acquisitions.
 
     Investments in tax benefits provided $54.7 million compared to $10.6
million a year ago, due mainly to the company's sale of certain domestic
investments. Purchases of property, plant and equipment totaled $172.6 million
compared to $135.0 million a year ago.
 
     Financing activities provided $64.5 million for the six months ended
November 1, 1995 compared to $194.3 million a year ago. Net proceeds on
short-term debt provided $233.6 million in the current period versus $561.6
million in the prior year's comparable period. Payments on long-term debt
totaled $36.5 million for the current period compared to $1.6 million last year.
During the six months ended November 1, 1995, treasury stock purchases totaled
$38.6 million (1,346,100 post-split shares) versus $219.3 million (9,323,250
post-split shares) in the prior year's first six months. Dividend payments
totaled $185.9 million compared to $170.4 million a year ago.

     On September 5, 1995, the company amended the line of credit agreements
which support its domestic commercial paper programs. Total availability under
the domestic commercial paper programs is $2.0 billion, compared to $2.3 billion
under the fiscal 1995 programs.
 
     The company amended the line of credit agreements which support the $1.6
billion domestic commercial paper program. The amended line of credit agreements
total $1.6 billion, of which $800 million expires on September 3, 1996 unless
otherwise extended, and the remaining $800 million expires in September 2000. As
a result, $800 million of the $1.7 billion domestic commercial paper outstanding
is classified as long-term debt as of November 1, 1995. As of May 3, 1995, $800
million of domestic commercial paper was classified as long-term debt.
 
     The company also amended the $700 million line of credit agreement which
supported its short-term privately placed commercial paper program. This program
initially had been used to finance the acquisition of the Pet Food Business. The
amended line of credit agreement provides for borrowings of up to $400 million
and expires on September 3, 1996. A portion of the fiscal 1995 privately placed
commercial paper had previously been repaid through the issuance of long-term
debt in April 1995. The company continues to evaluate other long-term financing
vehicles in order to reduce short-term variable interest rate debt.
 
     On September 12, 1995, the company's board of directors authorized a
three-for-two stock split, effective October 3, 1995. There was no adjustment in
the stock's par value or the total number of authorized common shares.
 
     Also on September 12, 1995, the company's board of directors increased the
quarterly dividend on the company's common stock to $0.26-1/2 per share
(post-split) from $0.24 per share (post-split), for an indicated annual rate of
$1.06 per share (post-split). On December 6, 1995, the company's board of
directors declared the quarterly dividend on the company's common stock of
$0.26-1/2 (post-split) per share to shareholders of record as of the close of
business December 20, 1995, payable January 10, 1996.
 
     The company's financial position continues to remain strong, enabling it to
meet cash requirements for operations, capital expansion programs and dividends
to shareholders.
 
                                 OTHER MATTERS
 
     The company continues to implement its strategy to combine recent
acquisitions with existing operations. Cash expenditures related to exiting
activities and terminating or relocating certain employees of the acquired
companies have recently begun, and are expected to continue over the next twelve
to eighteen months. The company will finalize its integration plans by the end
of the fiscal year, making any necessary adjustments to the preliminary
allocations of purchase price. In management's opinion, the opening balance
sheet accruals for employee severance and relocation costs and facilities
consolidation and closure costs provided for in the preliminary allocations of
purchase price are adequate.
 
     On September 12, 1995, the Weight Watchers Food Company announced plans to
close The All American Gourmet plant in Atlanta, GA. Operations will be phased
out by the end of January 1996. The facility's dinner and entree production
lines will be consolidated with other company facilities. This closure is part
of the above mentioned strategy to combine recent acquisitions with existing
operations. The employee severance and exit costs related to this closure had
previously been provided for in the year end 1995 balance sheet as "other
accrued liabilities."
