             INTERNATIONAL MULTIFOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             Notes to Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements

                                  (unaudited)


(1) In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited consolidated 
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only 
normal recurring adjustments, except as noted elsewhere in the notes to 
the consolidated condensed financial statements) necessary to present 
fairly its financial position as of May 31, 1995 and the results of its 
operations  and cash flows for the three months ended May 31, 1995 and 
1994.  These statements are condensed and therefore do not include all of 
the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting 
principles for complete financial statements.  The statements should be 
read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and 
footnotes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 
year ended February 28, 1995.  The results of operations for the three 
months ended May 31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results to 
be expected for the full year.

(2) Cost of sales - To more closely match costs with related revenues, the 
Company classifies the foreign exchange gains on Venezuelan local currency 
borrowings along with the inflation element inherent in interest rates on 
such borrowings as a component of cost of sales.  Accordingly, an increase 
of $1,075,000 and a reduction of $2,395,000 for the three months ended May 
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively, are included in cost of sales.

(3) Businesses acquired - The Company acquired, with cash, certain 
businesses during fiscal 1996 and 1995.  All acquisitions have been 
accounted for as purchases and, accordingly, the results of operations of 
the acquired businesses have been included since their respective dates of 
acquisition.  The most significant acquisitions were as follows:


Fiscal    Business Segment     Name                      Date Acquired
1996      Venezuela Foods      Ciudad Bolivar Corn
                                 Flour business          April 1995   

1995      Foodservice          Distribution business
            Distribution         of Leprino Foods        August 1994  

The components of cash used for all acquisitions, as reflected in the 
consolidated condensed statements of cash flows, are summarized as follows 
(in thousands):
                                                        Three Months Ended

                                                          1995        1994
Fair value of current assets                            $  288      $    -
Fair value of non-current assets, excluding goodwill     3,931       3,950
Goodwill                                                 1,180           -

  Cash paid at closing                                  $5,275      $3,950

The following unaudited pro forma financial information assumes the 
Company's fiscal 1995 acquisition of the specialty foodservice 
distribution business of Leprino Foods Company had been completed on March 
1, 1994, the beginning of fiscal 1995.  It includes the financing costs of 
the acquisition as well as depreciation and amortization associated with 
the allocation of the purchase price to net tangible and intangible assets 
acquired.  The pro forma information is not necessarily indicative of the 
combined results of operations that would have occurred had the 
acquisition been completed as of the beginning of fiscal 1995.

Results of Operations:

For the first quarter ended May 31, 1995 compared with the corresponding 
prior period

Overview
The consolidated net earnings for the first quarter were $4.6 million, or 
$.25 per share, compared with net earnings of $3.0 million, or $.17 per 
share a year ago.  Consolidated net sales increased 16% to $634.6 million, 
compared with $547.9 million in the first quarter last year.  First 
quarter fiscal 1996 results included the limited-menu foodservice 
distribution business of Leprino Foods Company, which was acquired in 
August 1994.  The prior year first quarter results included the Company's 
former Frozen Specialty Foods and Meats businesses, which were divested in 
June and May 1994, respectively.

Segment Results
Foodservice Distribution first quarter net sales increased 42% to $416.4 
million, compared with $293.3 million a year ago.  The increase was 
primarily from sales of the limited-menu distribution business of Leprino 
Foods Company acquired in August 1994.  Net sales of the Company's vending 
distribution business were even with the same period last year.  
Foodservice Distribution's first quarter operating earnings increased 12% 
to $5.6 million compared with $5.0 million last year.  Operating earnings 
increased primarily from earnings of the acquired limited-menu 
distribution business.  The increase was partially offset by lower 
earnings in vending distribution which resulted from additional costs, 
including depreciation, associated with the implementation of a business 
information system.

Bakery first quarter net sales increased 4% to $108.0 million, compared 
with $104.1 million a year ago.  Sales benefited from improved volumes in 
both commercial and consumer bakery products.  First quarter operating 
earnings increased 45% to $1.6 million compared with $1.1 million in the 
first quarter last year.  Operating earnings increased as a result of the 
improved volumes and the continued benefits of the fiscal 1994 
reorganization of operations.

Venezuela Foods first quarter net sales increased 26% to $96.7 million, 
compared with $76.7 million a year ago.  The increase was primarily the 
result of strong animal feed volumes, the current year benefit from the 
effect of the near-term stability from government imposed foreign exchange 
controls and the unfavorable impact in the prior year of a significant 
currency devaluation.  Higher volumes in animal feed were the result of an 
increase in market share.  First quarter operating earnings increased to 
$6.5 million, compared with $2.5 million last year.  The improved earnings 
were primarily due to the comparison with a weak first quarter in fiscal 
1995, which resulted from the large currency devaluation, as well as the 
volume improvement and the current year benefit of the stability of the 
local currency.

Divested Businesses first quarter net sales were $13.5 million, compared 
with $73.8 million in fiscal 1995.  Operating earnings declined to
$1.6 million compared with $4.5 million in the first quarter last year. 
The current fiscal year's first quarter results include only the Company's 
surimi seafood business, which was divested in June 1995 at a net gain.  
The net gain will be reported in the Company's second quarter results.  
Sales and earnings declined from the first quarter last year as a result 
of the fiscal 1995 divestitures of the Frozen Specialty Foods and Meats 
businesses.  Earnings in the first quarter of fiscal 1996 also declined in 
the surimi seafood business as a result of higher raw material costs.

Non-operating Expense and Income
Net interest expense increased to $5.1 million from $3.3 million a year 
ago as a result of higher interest rates.  In fiscal 1995, the Company 
recognized foreign exchange losses of $2.1 million from local currency 
cash and equivalents in Venezuela.  The loss resulted from a significant 
currency devaluation coupled with a temporary build-up of local currency 
cash and equivalents which was due to delays in obtaining U.S. dollars to 
settle certain U.S. dollar-denominated obligations.

Income Taxes
The first quarter effective tax rate was 35% compared to 40% a year ago.  
The decline was the result of a lower effective tax rate in Venezuela.


Financial Condition:

The Company's balance sheet at May 31, 1995 reflected the impact of 
working capital requirements and business acquisitions.  The debt-to-total 
capitalization ratio was 47% at May 31, 1995 as compared to 45% at 
February 28, 1995.

In the first quarter of fiscal 1996, operating working capital increased 
$21.8 million.  Working capital requirements increased as a result of the 
timing of payments to suppliers along with payments associated with the 
Company's integration of its limited-menu distribution businesses and 
reorganization of operations.  The decline in accounts receivable was 
primarily due to the timing of cash receipts.

Business acquisitions, which included a corn flour business in Venezuela, 
totaled $5.3 million.  The balance sheet impact from acquisitions is 
summarized in Note 3 to the consolidated condensed financial statements.  
In June 1995, the Company completed the divestiture of its surimi seafood 
business for $48 million in cash.  The net proceeds from the disposition 
were used to reduce debt obligations.

In May 1995, the Company entered into an $84 million revolving credit 
agreement in Canada which expires in March 1997.  The interest rate on 
borrowings under the new agreement is variable and based on current market 
factors.  The new revolving credit agreement replaces a $62 million 
revolving credit agreement in Canada and short-term lines of credit of 
approximately $22 million.  In the first quarter of fiscal 1996 the 
Company also replaced variable rate debt in the United States with $20 
million of notes under its medium-term note program.  The notes mature in 
fiscal years 1999 to 2001 and have interest rates ranging from 6.75% to 
7%.

In June 1995, the Company's Board of Directors approved the redemption of 
all of the Company's outstanding shares of Cumulative Redeemable Sinking 
Fund First Preferred Capital Stock at a redemption price of $105 per 
share.  The Company expects to complete the redemption on September 1, 1995.
The Company will fund the redemption, which will total 
approximately $3.7 million, with borrowings.

after deduction of preferred stock dividends, by the weighted average 
number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Common 
stock options and other common stock equivalents have not entered into 
the primary earnings per share computations since their effect is not 
significant.

Fully diluted earnings per share has been computed assuming issuance of 
all shares for stock options deemed to be common stock equivalents, 
using the treasury stock method.
