                        IBP, inc. AND SUBSIDIARIES
           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 September 24,
     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:

                   IBP, inc. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - CONTINUED


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 hourly employees of the
     Company.  The case relates to compensation allegedly due for
     incidental activities of hourly employees before and after
     regular working hours.   On October 25, 1994, the Tenth
     Circuit Court of Appeals affirmed the lower court's decision
     that certain incidental activities of hourly employees should
     be considered compensable time, and that IBP be required to
     pay restitution for the years involved.  The case has been
     remanded back to the United States District Court for the
     District of Kansas for a determination on the nature and
     extent of the damage claim, if any, that may exist.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS



RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     A combination of plentiful livestock supplies and continued
strong demand for IBP's products created favorable margins that
brought 1994 third quarter and year-to-date net earnings to record
levels.  The previous quarterly and nine-month highs were $34.5
million earned in the second quarter 1994 and $67.7 million earned
through nine months in 1993.  Gross profit, measured as a
percentage of net sales, improved to 3.9% in the third quarter 1994
compared to 2.3% in the third quarter 1993.  For the nine months
ended September, gross profit measured 3.1% in 1994 versus 2.1% in
1993.

     The company announced the acquisition of Lakeside Farm
Industries, Ltd. (Lakeside), a diversified Canadian agribusiness
with annual sales of approximately $500 million (U.S. dollars) and
660 employees, early in the fourth quarter 1994.  Lakeside's
principal operations include cattle feeding and slaughter
operations.  The Lakeside acquisition marks the first time IBP will
have production facilities outside the United States.  

     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 $7.3 million or $.15 per
share in 1994 and $7.8 million or $.16 per share in the 39 weeks
ended September 1993.  These adjustments had no impact on cash
flow.

     IBP's selling prices and the prices it pays for live cattle
and hogs are determined by constantly changing market forces of
supply and demand, over which IBP has little or no control. 
Therefore, projections based on past results, particularly those of
an interim period, will not necessarily be indicative of future
performance.

     SALES

     Net sales in the third quarter 1994 decreased 2.3% from the
third quarter 1993 as an 8.0% decrease in the average price of
products sold overrode a 5.6% increase in pounds of products sold. 
Through nine months, the virtually unchanged 1994 net sales versus
the same 1993 period resulted from offsetting influences of an 8.8%
increase in pounds of products sold and a similar percentage
decrease in the average price of products sold.

                          -7-
                                                            
     Net export sales in the third quarter 1994 increased 2.5% from
the third quarter 1993 due primarily to a 10.5% increase in pounds
of export products sold.  Year-to-date 1994 net export sales were
3.5% ahead of comparable 1993 net export sales, brought about by a
7.6% increase in pounds of export products sold.  Year-to-date 1994
net export sales through September accounted for 12.2% of total net
sales versus 11.8% through the same 1993 period.

     COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

     The cost of products sold in the quarter and nine months ended
September 1994 decreased 4.0% and 1.0% from costs incurred in the
respective 1993 periods.  For both comparison periods, a reduction
in the overall average cost of livestock purchased more than offset
the effect of an increase in pounds of products sold and increases
in volume-related plant production and livestock procurement costs.
                                                                            
     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

     Selling, general and administrative expense increased over 18%
in the 1994 third quarter and nine-month periods versus the
comparable 1993 periods.  The higher third quarter 1994 expense
compared to the third quarter 1993 results chiefly from higher
accruals for incentive compensation based upon earnings and pounds
of products sold, as well as increased consulting expense.  The
increased year-to-date selling, general and administrative expense
was due primarily to increased incentive compensation and outside
legal costs.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

     The reductions in net interest expense in the quarterly and
nine-month periods ended September 1994 compared to the same 1993
periods were primarily attributable to reduced average borrowings
outstanding.  Outstanding borrowings averaged $104 million less in
the first nine months of 1994 compared to 1993 due to sustained
earnings strength and other positive operating cash flows.

     INCOME TAXES  

     The higher quarterly and year-to-date 1994 income tax
provisions through September versus 1993 resulted almost solely
from increased pre-tax earnings.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total outstanding borrowings averaged $474 million in the
first nine months of 1994 compared to $578 million in the
comparable 1993 period.  Under IBP's lines of credit, there were no
short-term borrowings outstanding at September 24, 1994, excluding
$75 million classified as long-term debt, with available unused
credit capacity of $225 million. 

     Year-to-date capital expenditures through September 1994
totaled $64.6 million compared to $31.1 million in the first nine
months of 1993.  Expenditures for ham processing plants at Council
Bluffs, Iowa, and Madison, Nebraska, and expansion projects at
other plant locations contributed to the increase.
