        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 as of  April 1, 
      1995 and December 31, 1994, and the results of its operations 
      and its cash flows for the periods presented herein.

      Certain  reclassifications have been  made to prior financial 
      statements to conform to the current year presentation.

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 numerous 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.  The trial 
      on  the  issue  of the  extent  of  damages has  been set for 
      July 10, 1995.

      A $15,004,000 judgement  was entered 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.  IBP  and  the  plaintiff  have  both  appealed the 
      Court's March 2, 1995 post-trial order.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS    

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Expanded operations, improved production efficiencies and
increased export sales contributed to a strong first quarter 1995. 
Net earnings of $51.8 million in the first quarter 1995 exceeded
first quarter 1994 net earnings of $20.9 million by $30.9 million
or 148%.  First quarter 1995 earnings per share of $1.08 were 151%
better than the $.43 earned in the first quarter 1994.

     Gross profit, measured as a percentage of net sales, improved
to 3.9% in the first quarter 1995 from 2.3% in the same 1994
period.  Both beef and pork operations achieved improved capacity
utilization and operating earnings in 1995 versus the first quarter
1994, while IBP's newest subsidiaries, including Lakeside Farm
Industries, Ltd., Supreme Processed Foods, Inc. and Prepared Foods,
Inc.,  also contributed to the increased earnings from operations. 

     In late March and early April 1995, IBP purchased cow
processing facilities owned by Western Packing Company and Gibbon
Packing Company, Inc., marking IBP's entrance into this sector of
the beef processing business.  These purchases include plants at
Sealy, Texas, Gibbon, Nebraska, and Tama, Iowa.  Cow meat is used
primarily in the production of chopped meats, hamburger and
sausage.

     The application of purchase accounting principles resulting
from IBP's acquisition in 1981 has, since that date, reduced IBP's
earnings by the impact of "pushdown" accounting. Amortization of
goodwill and depreciation of the higher values assigned to
property, plant and equipment reduced net earnings by $2.4 million
or $.05 per share in the first quarters of 1995 and 1994.  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, past results will not necessarily be indicative of
future performance.

     SALES     

     Net sales in the first quarter 1995 increased 6.7% from the
first quarter 1994.  The increase was primarily attributable to an
increase in pounds of beef and pork products sold.  Net sales from
IBP's newest subsidiaries, all of which were acquired or which
commenced operations subsequent to the first quarter 1994, also
contributed to the increase in consolidated net sales.  

     Net export sales in the first quarter 1995 increased 18.4%
from the first quarter 1994 due chiefly to an 11.7% increase in
pounds of red meat products sold.  Red meat sales have a relatively
higher sales value per pound than hides and variety meat items. 
The majority of IBP's red meat exports go to destinations in the
Far East, especially to Japan.  Exports to Japan have increased in
part due to lowered import restrictions and a stronger yen versus
the dollar.                     

                                -7-                
     COST OF PRODUCTS SOLD

     The 4.9% increase in the cost of products sold in the first
quarter 1995 versus the same 1994 three-month period resulted
primarily from costs incurred at IBP's newest subsidiaries,
especially at Lakeside Farm Industries, Ltd., the Company's
Canadian subsidiary acquired in October 1994.  For comparative
operations, livestock costs were flat in the first quarter 1995
versus the first quarter 1994 as an increase in pounds of products
sold was offset by a decrease in the average cost of livestock
purchased.  Plant costs also increased in 1995 due mostly to higher
production volume.

     SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSE

     Selling, general and administrative expense in the first
quarter 1995 increased over 19%  from the same 1994 period.  The
majority of the higher 1995 expense was due to higher accruals for
earnings-based incentive compensation.  Selling and administrative
expense associated with new subsidiaries also contributed to the
higher 1995 expense.

     INTEREST EXPENSE

     The 33.1% decrease in first quarter 1995 net interest expense
from the first quarter 1994 was the result of reduced average
borrowings and increased amounts of capitalized interest and
interest income from temporary investments.

     INCOME TAXES

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


FINANCIAL CONDITION

     Total outstanding borrowings averaged $370 million in the
first three months of 1995 compared to $480 million in the
comparable 1994 period.  There were no short-term borrowings
outstanding at April 1, 1995, with available unused credit capacity
under committed facilities of $300 million. 

     The corresponding decreases in cash and current liabilities at
April 1, 1995 from December 31, 1994 resulted primarily from first
quarter 1995 payments for 1994 deferred livestock payables,
incentive compensation and income taxes. 

     Year-to-date capital expenditures through April 1, 1995
totaled $31.6 million compared to $17.7 million in the first three
months of 1994.  The increased 1995 spending was due in part to
continued renovation of the Logansport, Indiana, pork plant and
various expansion projects in progress.  The Logansport plant is
scheduled to commence operations in the third quarter 1995.
