        NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


A.    GENERAL

      The consolidated condensed balance  sheet  of  IBP,  inc. and 
      subsidiaries ("IBP") at December 25, 1993 has been taken from 
      audited financial statements at that date and condensed.  All 
      other consolidated condensed  financial  statements contained 
      herein  have  been  prepared by  IBP and are  unaudited.  The 
      consolidated  condensed  financial statements  should be read 
      in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and 
      the  notes  thereto included in IBP's  Annual Report  on Form 
      10-K for the year ended December 25, 1993.

      In  the opinion  of management, the  accompanying audited and 
      unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements contain 
      all  adjustments,  consisting  only   of   normal   recurring 
      adjustments,  necessary  to  present  fairly  the   financial 
      position  of  IBP, inc.  and its subsidiaries as of March 26, 
      1994 and December 25, 1993, and the results of its operations 
      and its cash flows for the periods presented herein.

B.    OTHER

      IBP's interim operating results may be subject to substantial 
      fluctuations  which  do  not  necessarily  occur or  recur on 
      a seasonal basis.  Such  fluctuations are normally  caused by 
      competitive   and other  conditions  in  the  cattle  and hog 
      markets  over which IBP has little or no control.  Therefore, 
      the  results  of operations for the interim periods presented 
      are not  necessarily indicative of the results to be attained 
      for the full fiscal year.

C.    INVENTORIES

      Inventories, valued at the lower of first-in, first-out cost 
      or market, are comprised of the following:

D.    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

      IBP is involved in various disputes incident to  the ordinary 
      course  of  its business.  In the  opinion of management, any 
      liability  for which  provision has not been made relative to 
      the  various lawsuits, claims and  administrative proceedings 
      pending against IBP,  including that  described below, should 
      not have a material adverse effect on its financial position.

      A complaint filed against IBP in April 1988 by the Department 
      of Labor,  Wage  and  Hour  Division, in  the  United  States 
      District  Court  in  Kansas seeks  injunctive relief and back 
      wages,  plus  interest, for certain employees of the Company. 
      The case relates to compensation allegedly due for incidental 
      activities  of  hourly  employees  before  and after  regular 
      working  hours.  In  the  liability  phase  of  the case, the 
      district  judge  ruled that IBP is required to pay back wages 
      for a portion of the incidental activities.  An appeal by the 
      Company is in progress.  The Company's management believes it 
      has made adequate  provision for any liability, the amount of 
      which, if any, will be determined at a later time.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     IBP experienced a strong operating performance in the
first quarter 1994 versus the year-earlier period, recognizing
higher net sales, earnings from operations and pre-tax
earnings.  Gross profit, measured as a percentage of net sales,
improved to 2.5% in the first quarter 1994 compared to 2.0% in
the first quarter 1993.  Production efficiencies and relatively
stable market and weather conditions contributed to the
stronger performance.

     IBP's required adoption of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," in
the first quarter 1993 added $12.6 million or $.26 per share to
prior year net earnings.  This earnings increase was primarily
attributable to the adjustment of "pushdown accounting" fixed
asset bases resulting from IBP's acquisition in 1981.  At the
same time, year-to-date 1994 and 1993 net earnings were reduced
by recurring pushdown accounting adjustments, consisting
primarily of goodwill amortization and depreciation of the
higher values assigned to property, plant and equipment,
totaling $2.4 million or $.05 per share in 1994 and $2.8
million or $.06 per share in the 13 weeks ended March 1993. 
These adjustments had no impact on cash flow.

     The Company recently reached a labor agreement at its
Amarillo, Texas, beef plant with the Teamsters union.  The two
parties negotiated a four-year contract which will expire in
1998.  IBP also recently entered into a five-year contract with
the United Food and Commercial Workers union representing
hourly employees at its Perry, Iowa pork plant.

     SALES

     Net sales increased 2.7% in the first quarter 1994
compared to the same 1993 period.  An increase in pounds of
products sold more than offset a decrease in the average price
of products sold.  Net export sales in the first quarter 1994
increased 12.7% from the first quarter 1993 and accounted for
12.3% of total net sales.  Export growth was primarily
attributable to increased red meat and hide sales to
destinations in the Far East.     

     COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

     The 2.2% increase in cost of products sold in the first
quarter 1994 over 1993 was due primarily to the overall
increase in pounds of products sold.  In addition, plant costs
rose in the thirteen-week period ended March 1994 versus 1993
due partially to the higher production volumes and partially to
higher labor costs related to expanded value-added processing. 


                             -7- 


     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

     The 12.9% increase in the first quarter 1994 versus the
first quarter 1993 resulted chiefly from higher accruals for
earnings-based and stock-based compensation expense and higher
freezing and warehousing expense related to the increase in
pounds of products sold.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

     The lower first quarter 1994 net interest expense compared
to the same period in 1993 was due mainly to reduced average
borrowings in the first quarter 1994 versus 1993.  Also, the
higher first quarter 1993 expense included payments on interest
rate collars which expired later in 1993.

     INCOME TAXES

     The increase in pre-tax earnings was the primary factor in
the higher first quarter 1994 income tax provision compared to
the first quarter 1993.            


FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total outstanding borrowings averaged $480 million in the
first three months of 1994 compared to $563 million in the
comparable 1993 period.  The $83 million reduction in average
borrowings was primarily the result of continued earnings
strength and other positive operating cash flows.  Short-term
borrowings outstanding at March 26, 1994, excluding $100
million classified as long-term debt, totaled $35 million with
available unused credit capacity of $255 million.
