          DOSKOCIL COMPANIES INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
 NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

NOTE 1  GENERAL

         The accompanying condensed consolidated financial
statements include the accounts of Doskocil Companies
Incorporated ("Doskocil") and all majority-owned subsidiaries
(collectively, the "Company") and have been prepared without
audit.  The Balance Sheet at January 1, 1994, has been derived
from financial statements which have been audited by Coopers &
Lybrand, independent accountants.

         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying
unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all
adjustments (adjustments are of a normal, recurring nature except
for entries to record the cumulative effect on years prior to
January 3, 1993 of change in accounting for postretirement
benefits other than pensions) necessary for a fair presentation
of the financial position as of April 2, 1994, and the results of
operations and cash flows for the three months ended April 2,
1994 and April 3, 1993.  Results for the three months ended April
2, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results which will
be realized for the year ending December 31, 1994.  The financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 1994.

         The Company adopted at the beginning of fiscal 1994
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employer's
Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  This statement sets
standards for employers' accounting for postemployment benefits
after employment but before retirement.  The Company generally
does not provide such postemployment benefits, other than workers
compensation payments, the costs of which are estimated and
accrued as the events occur.  Implementation of this statement
has no effect on the Company's financial condition or results of
operations.


NOTE 2  RECEIVABLES

         Included in receivables of $33.3 million are trade
accounts receivable of approximately $33.1 million and a note
receivable from an officer due in one year without interest in
the approximate amount of $0.2 million.


NOTE 3  INVENTORIES

         Inventories at April 2, 1994 and January 1, 1994 are
summarized as follows (in thousands):

                                    ======          ======

The deferred benefit has been recognized in the first quarter of
1994 based on the Company's projected realization of the
benefit in the current year.  The effective tax rate differs from
the statutory rate due primarily to amortization of intangible
assets which are not deductible for tax purposes.  The effective
tax rate was calculated based on the projected taxable income for
the full fiscal year and the anticipated changes for fiscal 1994
in the deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance and
the deferred tax liabilities.


NOTE 5  SIGNIFICANT EVENT

         On March 17, 1994 the Company entered into a stock
purchase agreement with International Multifoods Corporation
("IMC") with respect to the Frozen Specialty Foods division
("Frozen Specialty Foods") of IMC.  Pursuant to the stock
purchase agreement, the Company will purchase all of the issued
and outstanding capital stock of International Multifoods
Foodservice Corp. ("IMFC") from IMC for approximately $138
million, subject to certain conditions and customary purchase
price adjustments (the "IMFC Acquisition").  The Company has
received a commitment from Chemical Bank, subject to completion
of documentation and other requirements, to provide a $186
million senior secured credit facility for this transaction and
to refinance the existing credit facility.  Frozen Specialty
Foods, with estimated revenues for the fiscal year ended February
26, 1994 of approximately $185 million, is a processor and
marketer of prepared frozen food products primarily for the
foodservice and consumer markets.  Completion of the transaction
is expected in the second quarter of fiscal 1994.  Based on
the Company's historical consolidated statement of operations for
the year ended January 1, 1994 and Frozen Specialty Foods'
historical operations for the twelve months ended November 21,
1993, the pro forma combined net sales, income before
cumulative effect of changes in accounting and earnings per share
before cumulative effect of changes in accounting are
$831.5 million, $6.1 million and $0.82, respectively.

                    REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS




To the Board of Directors and Stockholders
Doskocil Companies Incorporated


     We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Doskocil Companies Incorporated and subsidiaries as of
April 2, 1994, and the related condensed consolidated statements
of operations for the three month periods ended April 2,
1994 and April 3, 1993, and the condensed consolidated statements
of cash flows for the three month periods ended April 2,
1994 and April 3, 1993.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management.

     We conducted our review in accordance with standards
established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants.  A review of interim financial information consists
principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters.  It is substantially less in scope
than an audit conducted in accordance with generally accepted
auditing standards, the objective of which is the expression of
an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. 
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

     Based on our review, we are not aware of any material
modifications that should be made to the condensed consolidated
financial statements referred to above for them to be in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

     We have previously audited, in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards, the consolidated balance sheet as
of January 1, 1994, and the related consolidated statements of
operations, stockholders' equity and cash flows for the period
ended January 1, 1994 (not presented herein), and in our report
dated March 1, 1994, we expressed an unqualified opinion on
those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of January 1, 1994, is fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated
balance sheet from which it has been derived.

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


Results of Operations

Three Months ended April 2, 1994 compared with Three Months ended
April 3, 1993.  Net sales increased $11.6 million, or 8.0%,
to $156.2 million for the first three months of 1994 over net
sales of $144.6 million for the first three months of 1993. 
Volume increases generated approximately $6.7 million of the net
sales increase and increases in selling price per pound
contributed approximately $4.9 million of the overall increase. 
Sales volume in the Foodservice and Deli Divisions increased
over the same period in fiscal 1993.  Selling price per pound
increased primarily due to the pass through of increased raw
material costs.

      In the first quarter of 1994, gross profit increased $2.6
million, or 10.8%, to $26.7 million from $24.1 million for
the first quarter of 1993.  Gross margin for the first quarter of
1994 was higher as a percentage of net sales than the first
quarter of 1993 due primarily to certain cost reduction programs
instituted in 1993.

      During the first quarter of 1994, the Company's selling
expenses increased $1.8 million, or 12.6%, over the 1993
period's amount of $14.3 million.  Selling expenses increased
primarily due to marketing costs associated with increased
volume of sales and new product introductions in the Retail
Division.  General and administrative expenses totaled
approximately $6.6 million in both the first quarters of 1994 and
1993.  Amortization of intangible assets, which is a
noncash element of operating expenses, was approximately $1.5
million in both the 1994 and the 1993 periods.

      Interest and financing costs increased $0.6 million, or
20%, to $3.6 million for the first quarter of 1994 from $3.0
million for the first quarter of 1993.  This increase is due to
the higher fixed interest rates on the Company's long term
financing entered into in the second quarter of 1993 compared to
the variable rates on debt outstanding in the first quarter
of 1993.

      The provision for income taxes for the first quarter of
1994 was a benefit of $0.8 million primarily because, for
financial reporting purposes, the Company generated losses during
the period, the benefit of which is expected to be realized
in the current fiscal year.  The effective tax rate was
calculated based on the projected taxable income for the full
fiscal year and the anticipated changes for fiscal 1994 in the
deferred tax assets and related valuation allowance and the
deferred tax liabilities.  No such benefit was recognized in the
first quarter of 1993.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

      Management believes that cash flow from operations for the
full fiscal year combined with the borrowing capacity
available under the Company's revolving working capital facility
will be sufficient to meet the Company's operating and debt
service cash requirements for the foreseeable future.  Management
anticipates that the purchase price and working capital
needs of the Frozen Specialty Foods acquisition discussed below,
will be financed by borrowings under a new senior secured
credit facility.  The balance outstanding under the current
revolving working capital facility at April 2, 1994 was $10.0
million and $30.0 million was available for borrowing at that
date.

      On March 17, 1994 the Company entered into a stock purchase
agreement with International Multifoods Corporation ("IMC") with
respect to the Frozen Specialty Foods division ("Frozen Specialty
Foods") of IMC.  Pursuant to the stock purchase agreement, the
Company will purchase all of the issued and outstanding capital
stock of International Multifoods Foodservice Corp. ("IMFC") from
IMC for approximately $138 million, subject to certain conditions
and customary purchase price adjustments (the "IMFC
Acquisition").  The Company has received a commitment from
Chemical Bank, subject to completion of documentation and other
requirements, to provide a $186 million senior secured credit
facility for this transaction and to refinance the existing
credit facility.  Frozen Specialty Foods, with estimated revenues
for the fiscal year ended February 26, 1994 of approximately $185
million, is a processor and marketer of prepared frozen food
products primarily for the foodservice and consumer markets. 
Completion of the transaction is expected in the second quarter
of fiscal 1994.

Cash Flows and Capital Expenditures

First three months of 1994.  For the first quarter of 1994, net
cash used by operating activities was approximately $0.7
million.  Decreases in cash resulted primarily from net decreases
in accounts payable and accrued liabilities of $7.3 million
due primarily to semiannual interest payments, payments related
to prior plant closings and seasonal decreases in marketing
programs.  These decreases were offset partially by decreases in
accounts receivable and inventories, responsible for increases of
cash of $2.9 million and $1.0 million, respectively.  The
remaining increases in cash were principally provided by the
results of operations during the quarter after adding back
noncash items of depreciation, amortization and the provision for
postretirement medical benefits and subtracting the deferred
benefit for income taxes.

      Expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment
were approximately $2.7 million for the first quarter of 1994. 
Of this total, approximately $1.2 million of these expenditures
were attributable to construction of additional capacity and the
remainder for replacements and modifications to existing
facilities.  The source of the funds for these expenditures was
primarily from the receipt of escrowed funds related to
construction in progress and increased borrowings under the 1993
Credit Agreement.

First three months of 1993.  For the first quarter of 1993, net
cash used by operating activities was approximately $2.9
million.  Decreases in cash resulted primarily from increases
during the period in receivables, responsible for a decrease in
cash of $3.2 million, and inventories, responsible for a decrease
in cash of $3.7 million.  These decreases were offset somewhat by
increases in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, resulting
in an increase in cash of $1.4 million.  The remaining increases
in cash were provided by the results of operations during the
period after adding back noncash items of depreciation,
amortization and the provision for postretirement benefits other
than pensions.

      Expenditures for additions to property, plant and equipment
were approximately $2.6 million during the first quarter of 1993. 
Approximately $1.3 million of these expenditures were
attributable to the construction of additional capacity at
the Company's South Hutchinson production facility to support
growth of the Foodservice Division.  In addition, expenditures
of approximately $1.3 million were for replacement of and
modifications to existing systems and production lines.

      During the first quarter of 1993, the Company issued 2.0
million shares of common stock to JLL at $15.00 per share. 
The proceeds from this transaction, net of related expenses, were
used to reduce bank borrowings.  The Company made repayments
during the quarter of $0.6 million on other long-term debt,
including capital lease obligations.  During the quarter, the
Company increased net borrowings under the Existing Credit
Agreement by $8.0 million.  The resulting net increase in cash
from these financing activities totaled $6.3 million.
