           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 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 July 1, 1995 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 substantial
     fluctuations which do not necessarily occur or recur on a
     regular 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 efficiency, profitable new operations and 
increased export sales contributed to a strong second quarter 1995
performance.  Net earnings for the thirteen weeks ended July 1
totaled $85.8 million or $1.78 per share compared to $34.5 million
or $.72 per share in the second quarter 1994.  The second quarter
1995 results improved upon the fourth quarter 1994 (a fourteen-week
period) net earnings of $77.8 million or $1.61 per share, IBP's
previous best quarterly performance.  Year-to-date 1995 net
earnings through six months totaled $137.7 million or $2.86 per
share versus $55.3 million or $1.15 per share through June 1994.

     Gross profit, measured as a percentage of net sales, improved
to 5.7% in the second quarter 1995 from 3.1% in the same 1994
period.  For the six months ended July 1, 1995, gross profit
measured 4.8% versus 2.7% in the first half of 1994.  Both the beef
and pork divisions achieved improved operating earnings in the
first half of 1995 versus 1994, while IBP's newest operations,
including its Canadian subsidiary, Lakeside Farm Industries, Ltd.
(Lakeside), and its cow processing division, also contributed to
the increased earnings from operations. 

     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 second quarter and year-to-date periods
ended June 1995 increased 5.6% and 6.1%, respectively, from the
comparable 1994 periods.  The increases were primarily attributable
to an increase in pounds of products sold, offset somewhat by a
decrease in the average price of products sold.  The increases in
pounds of products sold were primarily from beef operations, which
benefited from recently-acquired operations, including Lakeside,
which was an October 1994 purchase, and the three cow plants
purchased in 1995.

     Year-to-date 1995 net export sales increased 23.3% from the
first half of 1994 due chiefly to 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 lowered
import restrictions and a weaker U.S. dollar.  Exports accounted
for 13.9% of consolidated net sales in the first six months of 1995
versus 12.0% in the same 1994 period.





                             -7-

                                                  


     COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

     Increases in the cost of products sold in the second quarter
and year-to-date periods ended July 1, 1995 versus the same 1994
periods resulted primarily from costs incurred at Lakeside and the
cow plants.  Also, a reduction in estimated salvage value for most
corporate assets to better reflect actual experience increased
second quarter and year-to-date 1995 cost of products sold by $17.1
million.  For comparative operations, livestock costs decreased in
the quarterly and six-month 1995 periods compared with the same
1994 timeframes as a decrease in the average cost of livestock
purchased overrode an increase in pounds of products sold.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

     The principal components of increased selling, general and
administrative expense in the 1995 second quarter and six-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 41.2% in the second quarter
and 37.3% in the year-to-date period ended July 1, 1995 versus the
comparable 1994 periods.  The favorable effect of  long-term debt
reductions of $112 million in the second half of 1994, strong
operating cash flows and increased amounts of interest capitalized
on fixed assets were the principal contributing factors to the
lower 1995 net expense.

     INCOME TAXES

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

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total outstanding borrowings averaged $369 million in the
first six months of 1995 compared to $488 million in the comparable
1994 period.  There were no short-term borrowings under committed
facilities outstanding at July 1, 1995, with available unused
credit capacity of $300 million. 

     Year-to-date capital expenditures through July 1, 1995 totaled
$71.0 million compared to $37.8 million in the first six 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 cow plants and various expansion projects in
progress.  The Logansport plant is scheduled to commence operations
in the third quarter 1995.
