                        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 31, 1994 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 31, 1994.

     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 at September 30,
     1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of their
     operations and their cash flows for the periods presented
     herein.

B.   OTHER

     IBP's interim operating results may be subject to 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:

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 those described below, will
     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.   In the liability phase of the case,
     the District Court ruled that certain incidental activities
     may be compensable time.  The Tenth Circuit Court of Appeals
     affirmed the District Court's ruling.  A trial on the issue of
     the extent of damages was held on July 10, 1995.  No decision
     on damages has been entered to date.

     A $15,004,000 jury verdict was returned against IBP in
     November 1994 in an Iowa State District Court.  The plaintiff,
     a former IBP employee, sued the company and another former
     employee in February 1993 for slander and breach of fiduciary
     duty regarding his treatment as a workers' compensation
     claimant.  The jury determined that the plaintiff sustained
     $4,000 in actual damages, and further returned a punitive
     damage award against IBP and the other defendant in the amount
     of $15,000,000, all of which was provided for by the company
     in 1994.  On March 2, 1995, the Iowa State District Court
     entered an order reducing the punitive damages, to $100,000. 
     Both IBP and the plaintiff have appealed the Court's March 2,
     1995 post-trial order.

               MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Continued production efficiencies and increased export sales
contributed to a strong third quarter 1995 performance.  Net
earnings for the thirteen weeks ended September 30 totaled $85.4
million or $1.76 per share compared to $49.2 million or $1.02 per
share in the third quarter 1994.  Year-to-date 1995 net earnings
through nine months totaled $223.1 million or $4.62 per share
versus $104.5 million or $2.17 per share through September 1994.
                 
     Gross profit, measured as a percentage of net sales, improved
to 5.4% in the third quarter 1995 from 3.9% in the same 1994
period.  IBP's beef operations were stronger due to higher
production efficiencies and strong demand while pork operations
were weaker in the third quarter 1995 compared to 1994.  

For the nine months ended September 30, 1995, gross profit measured
5.0% of net sales versus 3.1% in the first three quarters of 1994. 
Beef operations were the most significant contributor to the
improved year-to-date 1995 gross profit.  Aiding beef operations in
its contributions were IBP's newest operations, including its
Canadian subsidiary, Lakeside Farm Industries, Ltd. (Lakeside), and
its beef boning division.  All other IBP divisions made positive
year-to-date gross profit contributions. 

     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, past results will not necessarily be indicative of
future performance.

     SALES     

     Net sales in the 1995 third quarter and year-to-date periods
ended September 1995 increased 10.3% and 7.5%, respectively, from
the comparable 1994 periods.  An increase in pounds of products
sold in 1995 versus 1994 for both comparison periods was the main
factor in these increased net sales.  The additions of Lakeside,
which was an October 1994 purchase, and three beef boning plants
acquired in 1995, were the primary reason for the increase in
pounds of products sold.     
     
     Third quarter and year-to-date 1995 net export sales increased
32.7% and 26.6%, respectively,  from the same 1994 periods due
chiefly to product mix changes and an increase in pounds of
products sold to Asian markets.  Exports to the Far East, IBP's
most significant export market, have increased in part due to
increased demand, lowered import restrictions, favorable currency
exchange rates and development of additional markets.  Exports
accounted for 15.4% of consolidated net sales in the third quarter
1995 and 14.4% in the first nine months of 1995 versus 12.8% and
12.2% in the comparative 1994 periods.




                              -7- 

     COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

     Increases in the cost of products sold in the third quarter
and year-to-date periods ended September 30, 1995 versus the same
1994 periods resulted primarily from costs incurred at Lakeside and
the beef boning plants.  IBP's fresh meats division, exclusive of
new operations, experienced higher livestock costs in the third
quarter 1995 versus 1994 due mostly to an increase in pounds of
products sold.  For the same operations, year-to-date 1995
livestock costs were lower than comparative 1994 costs as the
impact of a decrease in the average cost of livestock purchased
overrode an increase in pounds of products sold.  Also, an
adjustment in the second quarter 1995 to reduce the estimated
salvage value for most fixed assets to better reflect actual
experience increased year-to-date 1995 cost of products sold by
approximately $17 million.
          
     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

     The principal components of increased selling, general and
administrative expense in the 1995 third quarter and nine-month
periods versus 1994 were higher accruals for earnings-based
incentive compensation, incremental selling and administrative
expense associated with new operations and increased export-related
selling expense.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

     Net interest expense was reduced 49.4% in the third quarter
and 41.0% in the year-to-date period ended September 30, 1995
versus the comparable 1994 periods.  The favorable effect of  long-
term debt reductions of $112 million in the second half of 1994,
increased interest income earned on investment of free cash flows
and increased amounts of interest capitalized on fixed assets were
the principal contributing factors to the lower 1995 net expense.

     IBP will prepay in the fourth quarter 1995 both of its
currently outstanding $275 million 9.82% Senior Notes due 2000 and
$75 million 10.93% Senior Subordinated Debentures due 2002.  The
company has sent required notices to all holders of its intention
for a complete prepayment of all such outstanding notes and
debentures on December 15, 1995.

     Although the company's prepayment premiums will ultimately be
based upon the U.S. treasury market two days before the date of
prepayment, management's calculation of the prepayment premiums as
of November 9, 1995, would be approximately $21 million, net of
applicable taxes, or approximately $.43 per share of IBP's common
stock.  The net expense will be classified as an extraordinary loss
in the fourth quarter 1995.

     The prepayment of these notes and debentures is part of an
overall refinancing effort to lower IBP's future interest expense
by taking advantage of more favorable debt markets.

     INCOME TAXES

     The higher year-to-date 1995 income tax provision compared to
the first nine months of 1994 resulted almost solely from the
increase in pre-tax earnings.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total outstanding borrowings averaged $370 million in the
first nine months of 1995 compared to $474 million in the
comparable 1994 period.  There were no short-term borrowings under
committed facilities outstanding at September 30, 1995, with
available unused credit capacity of $300 million. 

     Year-to-date capital expenditures through September 30, 1995
totaled $117 million compared to $65 million in the first nine
months of 1994.  The increased 1995 spending was due in part to
continued expansion and renovation of the Logansport, Indiana, pork
plant, purchases of three beef boning plants and various other
expansion projects in progress.  The Logansport plant commenced
operations in the third quarter 1995.
