                               THE ANDERSONS
          NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note A  -     In the opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of
              normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation
              of the results of operations for the periods indicated have been
              made.

              The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial
              statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated
              financial statements and notes thereto included in the
              Partnership's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
              December 31, 1993.

Note B  -     No provision has been made for federal income taxes on the
              Partnership's net income since such amounts are includable in the
              federal income tax returns of its partners.

              Provision for federal income taxes is made on the net income or
              loss of the Partnership's corporate subsidiaries, but is
              insignificant.

Note C  -     The Partnership Agreement reflects each partner's invested capital
              as of the beginning of each year.  Partners' capital used in
              determining the allocation of net income per $1,000 of partners'
              capital is weighted to reflect cash distributions made to partners
              during the year.  The indicated allocations for the three-month
              and six-month periods ended June 30, 1994 and 1993 are the
              allocations which would have been made had such period constituted
              an entire fiscal year.

Item 2.   Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
             and Results of Operations

Liquidity and Capital Resources:

         Working capital at June 30, 1994 was $66 million, up $19 million from
December 31, 1993.  Cash and cash equivalents were higher than normal as the
proceeds from the issuance of $15 million in long-term debt to fund capital
expenditures as noted below, were received on June 30.  Inventories decreased
by $90 million, with grain inventories accounting for $86 million of the
decrease.  A decrease in grain inventories from December 31 to June 30 is
normal, due to the seasonality of the grain business.  Grain inventory
balances are generally near the high point of the year on December 31,
following the fall harvest, and the balances at June 30 are generally near the
low point of the year prior to the wheat harvest.  Grain payables also
decreased from the December 31 balance, which is also normal as the amount
owed for grain decreases as the grain inventory balance decreases.  At June
30, 1994, as a result of decreases in grain future prices during the second
quarter, the Partnership did not have any margin deposits with the Chicago
Board of Trade.  Short-term notes payable have decreased due to the reduced
working capital requirements and due to an increase in long-term borrowings.

         At June 30, 1994, partners' capital totaled $64.2 million, up $8.8
million from December 31, 1993.  Increases to capital included net income of
$12.1 million and new capital of $734,000, received at the beginning of the
year.  Decreases to partners' capital included distributions to partners of
$3.5 million and capital withdrawals of $604,000.  Quarterly cash
distributions of approximately $325,000 are expected to be paid in September
and December of 1994.  Quarterly tax distributions of approximately $590,000
are expected to be paid in September 1994 and January 1995.  The cash and tax
distributions are discretionary and can be discontinued or eliminated if
operating results are insufficient to warrant payment.  Further withdrawals
of capital in 1994 are not expected to be significant. 

         In the first six months of 1994 the Partnership purchased two general
stores that had previously been leased.  Capital expenditures over the last
half of 1994 are expected to total approximately $10 million, and include the
purchase of three agricultural products facilities subject to a lease expiring
during the year, renovations to two general stores, a raw material
pre-processing and storage facility for corncobs and additional storage space
at two grain locations.  To fund the capital expenditures, the Partnership
assumed a $5.2 million note payable in the purchase of one of the general
stores and increased long-term borrowings by an additional $15 million at the
end of the second quarter.

         The Partnership is currently offering Five-Year and Ten-Year debentures
for sale.  Through August 1, 1994, the Partnership sold $1 million of the new
debentures.  The amount of proceeds to be realized in 1994 from the sale of
the debentures is unknown since the offering is not underwritten.

         At June 30, 1994, the Partnership had used its entire $10 million
long-term revolving line of credit.  Subsequently, the borrowing was reduced
to zero and this line continues to be available if needed. Short-term lines
of credit were increased during 1994 and currently total $202 million.  The
highest borrowing against the short-term lines was $127.6 million and occurred
in January.  At June 30, 1994 the outstanding balance was $36.5 million.  The
Partnership's liquidity is enhanced by the fact that grain inventories are
readily marketable.  In management's opinion, the Partnership's liquidity is
adequate to meet short-term and long-term needs.

Results of Operations:

Three Months Ended June 30, 1994 and 1993:

         Net income in the second quarter of 1994 was $10 million, compared to
$6.1 million in the second quarter of 1993.  Sales and merchandising revenues
were up $50 million and gross profit was up $8.4 million, a 25% increase. 
Interest expense was up, due to higher interest rates and an increase in both
short-term and long-term borrowings. Operating, administrative and general
expenses were up 14.4%, with most of the increase coming from expanded
operations including a new general store opened in the fall of 1993 and two
grain and agricultural products businesses leased beginning in the second
quarter of 1994.

         Sales in the grain area were $94 million in the second quarter of 1994,
up $29 million from a year ago.  The average selling price was $3.55 per
bushel up from $2.81 per bushel in the second quarter of last year.  Bushels
sold increased by 3 million, or about 13%, with the majority of the increase
coming from the additional facilities leased in the second quarter of 1994 as
noted above.  Margins on grain sales were up from a year ago.  Merchandising
revenues were up about $700,000, with increases in storage income, income
earned from holding owned grain and income earned from providing grain
marketing services to farmers.  Drying and mixing income decreased in the
second quarter of 1994 from the higher than normal income experienced in the
second quarter of 1993.  Gross profit in the grain area was up $1.5 million
or about 30%. 

         In the agricultural products area, sales were $52.7 million, up $8.9
million from a year ago.  Most of the increase came from retail sales, with
about one half of the retail sales increase coming from the additional
facilities leased in the second quarter of 1994.  Wholesale sales of
fertilizer products were up $1.5 million, as average selling prices were up
7% and volume was down 2%.  Margins on wholesale sales were up.  Gross profit
in the agricultural products area was up $3.8 million or about 50%.  The
increase in retail sales and the improved margins on wholesale sales
contributed to this increase.  However, the largest gross profit increase came
from the liquidation in 1994 of phosphate inventories purchased in 1993 when
the market price of phosphate was depressed.  In 1994 the market price of
phosphate appreciated significantly and the Partnership liquidated its
inventory, with most of the activity occurring in the second quarter.

         Sales in the retail area were $50.6 million in the second quarter of
1994 compared to $45.1 million in the same period last year.  Sales in the
Columbus market were up 7% and sales in the Toledo market were up about 1%. 
The new store in Lima, Ohio, accounted for the remainder of the sales
increase.  As a result of the sales increase and an increase in margins, gross
profit in the retail area was up $2.4 million, a 19% increase.

         Sales of lawn care products were $16.2 million, up $2.4 million from
the second quarter of last year.  Tons sold increased by 20%, while average
selling prices decreased by 4%.  Gross profit was up 9%, due to the volume
increase.  In the industrial products area sales were even with the same
period a year ago and gross profit was down 7%.  In the other businesses of
the Partnership, sales and gross profit were up.

Six Months Ended June 30, 1994 and 1993:

         Net income in the first six months of 1994 was $12.1 million, compared
to $5.6 million in the same period last year.  Sales and merchandising
revenues were up $121 million and gross profit was up $13 million, a 22%
increase.  Interest expense was up $1 million, as both short-term and
long-term borrowings have increased and interest rates have also increased. 
Operating, administrative and general expenses were up 10%, with most of the
increase coming from expanded operations.

         Sales in the grain area were $221 million in the first six months of
1994, up $77 million from a year ago.  The average selling price was $3.82 per
bushel up from $2.98 per bushel a year ago.  The number of bushels sold
increased by about 20% and the margins on grain sales also increased.  Storage
income was up in the first six months of 1994 and this trend should continue
into the third quarter as there were 12 million bushels of grain held in
storage at June 30, 1994 compared to 5 million bushels at June 30, 1993. 
Drying and mixing income decreased in 1994, however, income in 1993 was higher
than normal due to the high moisture content of the 1992 corn crop.  A
significant increase was experienced in the revenue generated from grain
marketing services provided to farmers.  This service is relatively new for
the Partnership and has been well received.  Overall, merchandising revenues
were up about $700,000 and gross profit from the grain area was up about $1.4
million, a 12% increase. 

         In the agricultural products area, sales were $80.7 million, up $18.8
million from a year ago.  Wholesale sales of fertilizer products were up $11
million, as volume was up 15% and average selling prices were up 5%.  Margins
were also up in the first six months of 1994.  The increase in retail sales
in the second quarter of 1994, noted above, resulted in an $8.4 million
increase in retail sales in the first six months of 1994.  Like the second
quarter, gross profit in the agricultural products area was up in the first
six months of 1994 by $5.6 million, an increase of more than 50%.  As noted
in the discussion above for the second quarter, a significant part of the
gross profit increase was the result of the liquidation of phosphate
inventories at appreciated prices.  The increase in wholesale sales and
margins and the increase in retail sales also contributed to the gross profit
increase.

         Sales in the retail area were $82.2 million in the first six months of
1994 compared to $70.5 million last year.  Sales in the Columbus market were
up 9% and sales in the Toledo market were up about 1%.  The new store in Lima,
Ohio, accounted for the remainder of the sales increase.  As a result of the
sales increase and an increase in margins, gross profit in the retail area was
up $4.3 million or 22%.

         Sales of lawn care products were $32.5 million, up $6.6 million from
the first six months of last year.  Tons sold increased by 32%, while average
selling prices decreased by 6%.  Gross profit was up $1.5 million, due to the
volume increase as margins were down.  In the industrial products area sales
were down 2% from the same period a year ago and gross profit was down 10%. 
In the other businesses, sales and gross profit were up.
