                     PIONEER HI-BRED INTERNATIONAL, INC.
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.   In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited
     consolidated condensed financial statements contain all adjustments
     (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary to fairly 
     present the financial position as of  May 31, 1995 and 1994, and 
     the results of operations and cash flows for the nine months ended
     May 31,1995 and 1994.  Because of the seasonal nature of the 
     Company's business, the results of operations for the nine months
     ended May 31, 1995, may not be indicative of the results to be 
     expected for the full year.


2.   The Company has guaranteed the repayment of principal and interest
     on certain obligations of  Village Court Associates, an affiliated
     real estate venture.  At May 31, 1995, such guarantees totaled
     approximately $23 million.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the 
attached unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and 
notes, and with the Company's audited financial statements and notes 
for the fiscal year ended August 31, 1994.


MATERIAL CHANGES IN FINANCIAL CONDITION:

Due to the seasonal nature of the agricultural seed business, the 
Company generates most of its cash from operations during the second 
and third quarters of the fiscal year.  Cash generated during this 
time is used to meet the cash needs of the period and to pay the 
commercial paper and accounts payable which are the Company's primary 
sources of financing during the first and fourth quarters of the 
fiscal year.  Any excess funds are invested, primarily in short-term 
commercial paper.

Most of the Company's financing is done through the issuance of 
commercial paper in the U.S., backed by revolving and seasonal lines 
of credit.  In addition, foreign lines of credit and direct borrowing 
agreements are relied upon to support overseas financing needs.  
Short-term debt at May 31, 1995, consisted of $23 million in direct

The Company also has a $100 million private medium-term note program 
of which $50 million was outstanding as of May 31, 1995.  The medium-
term note matures in February, 1996.

May 31, 1995, seed inventories are higher than the previous year due 
to lower than planned current year seed corn unit sales and higher 
inventory levels associated with the above-average seed yields 
harvested in the fall of 1994 compared to the fall of 1993.

A change in our business structure in France contributed to the 
increase in accounts payable at May 31, 1995, compared to May 31, 
1994.  Reserves for returns of seed sold in France are recorded in the 
current year but were not present in 1994 as the entity which handled 
distribution and marketing of Pioneer (R) brand products was not 
consolidated in our financial results.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased and treasury stock increased as a 
result of additional purchases of the Company's stock.  For the nine 
months ended May 31, 1995, the Company has repurchased $74 million of 
its stock.  At May 31, 1995, authorized shares remaining to be 
repurchased totaled 1.2 million.

MATERIAL CHANGES IN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:


Net income for the nine months ended May 31, 1995 and 1994 each 
totaled $233 million.  On a per-share basis, year-to-date net income 
for 1995 totaled $2.75 per share, compared to $2.61 per share for the 
same period a year ago.  Due to the seasonality of the seed business, 
single quarter results and quarter-to-quarter comparisons are not 
always meaningful.  Accordingly, such comparisons are not emphasized.  
Typically, most of the Company's revenue and operating profit is 
generated in the third quarter.

</TABLE>

Operating income for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 decreased 
from the same period a year ago principally the result of lower seed 
corn unit sales and increased fixed costs.  The most significant 
factor contributing to the decrease in seed corn unit sales in North 
America is an estimated 9 percent decrease in the number of acres 
planted to corn.  The reduced corn acreage is the result of an 
increase in the United States farm program set aside requirement, poor 
corn planting conditions, and record cotton prices.  In Mexico, lower 
unit sales were also realized as a result of decreased acreage.  In 
both instances, these unit sales decreases are expected to impact full 
year fiscal 1995 results.  Fixed costs have increased due to 
additional investments in research, higher selling expenses, and the 
change in the structure of the Company's operations in France.

<PAGE>                               -9-

Despite the challenges faced in 1995, the Company is on track to post 
another record year in earnings per share - which is significant 
considering the market size for our primary product decreased 9 
percent from 1994 levels.  In fiscal 1994, earnings per share reached 
$2.11 after adjusting for unusual events.  One of the keys to this 
year's success was the ability of our sales and supply management 
people to get the appropriate product to where it was needed in time 
for planting.  This ability to respond to the changing needs of our 
customers is at the core of what Pioneer represents - a reliable 
supplier of seed throughout the world.

In North America, higher seed corn yields from the 1994 crop and 
excellent winter production activities in Argentina and Chile will 
improve the variable cost per unit.  Together with a higher average 
per unit sales price, the lower cost per unit will partially offset 
the impact of fewer seed corn unit sales.  Additional soybean sales 
from a year ago will also positively impact the current year.

Outside North America, management expects annual operations to be 
comparable to 1994.  Reduction in corn subsidies and water 
restrictions will reduce corn hectares in Mexico - the impact being 
reduced unit sales of approximately 25 percent.  The lower sales, in 
conjunction with a devaluation of the Mexican peso, are expected to 
reduce operating results in Mexico to half of those reported in 1994.  
Management expects the lower results in Mexico will be offset by 
operations in the remaining regions outside North America.  With the 
U.S. dollar weaker compared to European currencies, operations in 
Europe should improve over prior year levels.  Operations in Asia will 
also improve over 1994 results due to increased unit sales.

Looking forward to fiscal 1996, North American corn acreage is 
expected to rebound significantly.  Current U.S. production  is not 
expected to meet demand reducing carryover corn stocks to historically 
low levels.  As a result, the government program set aside requirement 
is expected to be reduced, potentially to zero, which will positively 
impact 1996 seed corn unit sales and set the stage for significantly 
improved operating results.  While results in regions outside North 
America are more difficult to predict, management believes that modest 
growth can be attained in those regions as well.


SEED CORN

North America

Fiscal 1995 year-to-date world-wide seed corn operating income 
decreased $17 million from the same period last year.  Operations 
within North America account for most of the seed corn decrease.  
Lower seed corn deliveries compared to the prior year was the primary 
factor affecting North American operations.

Year-to-date North American seed corn operating income decreased 
approximately $22 million from the same period a year ago.  On the 
plus side, the average per-unit sales price increased due to a 3.7 
percent increase in the card price of key hybrids and a higher priced 
sales mix.  Combined with lower per-unit costs resulting from above-
average seed field yields last fall, operating income improved $31 
million.  However, fewer units sold through the third quarter of 1995 
compared to 1994 had the effect of decreasing operating income 
approximately $39 million.

<PAGE>                              -10-

On an annual basis, Pioneer (R) brand seed corn unit sales are 
expected to be approximately 8 percent below 1994 levels.  Total 1995 
seed corn acreage is estimated to decrease approximately 9 percent.  A 
major factor contributing to the acreage decrease is a change in the 
U.S. farm program which requires farmers participating in the 1995 
feed grain program to keep their corn acres at 92.5 percent or less of 
their historical corn acreage base, down from 100 percent in 1994.  In 
addition, high cotton prices induced some farmers in the South to 
switch acreage to cotton while wet conditions in the corn belt forced 
affected farmers to switch acreage from corn to other crops such as 
soybeans (or plant nothing at all).  Aggressive sales programs and 
discounting by competitors aimed at reducing their high inventory 
levels has also put downward pressure on unit sales.  Despite these 
challenges, management believes the Company will hold or have a modest 
gain in market share - a result of the efforts of our exceptional 
sales and supply management groups.  They continue to provide 
information to customers on the value of purchasing Pioneer (R) brand 
seed and assure its availability when needed.

Total year-to-date research expenses company-wide reached $91 million 
compared to $80 million the same period a year ago, a 14 percent 
increase.  Planned growth in winter nursery costs, expansion of 
biotechnology projects, and timing of certain expenses account for 
most of the increase.  On an annual basis, total research costs 
company-wide are expected to increase 16 percent.  Research expenses 
for corn represent virtually all of the year-to-date increase.

The Company's commitment to research continues to provide customers 
with value-added products.  For 1995, 17 new seed corn products were 
released. These new releases add to the Company's ability to provide 
products which will improve yield and value advantages to customers.

Fixed selling and general and administrative expenses for seed corn in 
North America increased $3 million, or 5 percent, from 1994 year-to-
date levels.  The major components of this increase were planned 
increases in advertising expenses and personnel costs.


Europe

Current year European operations improved $14 million from 1994 
levels.  A majority of this change was the result of exchange rate 
changes.  The weakening of the U.S. dollar against certain European 
currencies contributed $15 million to the year-to-date improvement in 
European operating income.  On a constant dollar basis, European 
operations were comparable to 1994 results.  Within Italy, lower costs 
on imported seed and fewer inventory writedowns reduced cost of goods 
sold accounting for most of their $8 million improvement in operating 
income.  An increase in the average unit sales price represents the 
remaining improvement. Within France, the purchase of the remaining 
interest in the entity which handled distribution and marketing of 
Pioneer (R) brand products increased reported sales dollars and 
expenses as the entity is reflected in the 1995 financials on a 
consolidated basis.  However, consolidated country operating income 
for France has decreased $6 million due to fewer unit sales.  In 
Hungary, unit sales decreased as new competitors entered the market at 
significantly lower prices, reducing operating income $4 million.

<PAGE>                              -11-

Other Regions

Year-to-date operations in Mexico decreased $10 million from the same 
period a year ago, accounting for most of the $9 million decrease in 
seed corn operating income within other regions.  Decreased seed corn 
hectares in Northeast and Northwest Mexico resulting from NAFTA 
quotas, drought, and subsidy reductions reduced unit sales.  Also 
contributing to the decrease was the effect of the devaluation of the 
Mexican peso.

Operations in Asia and Latin America account for most of remaining 
change in operating income from 1994 levels.  Current year Asia 
operations improved $5 million.  Increased selling price in the 
Philippines, increased market size in Indonesia, and cost savings 
associated with closing the regional administrative branch account for 
most of the improvement.  Latin American operating income decreased $5 
million, almost entirely due to operations in Brazil - the result of 
lower unit sales.


SOYBEANS

North America

Year-to-date soybean operating income improved over 25 percent from 
prior year levels - almost entirely from North American operations.  
Unit sales have increased over 12 percent, a result of market share 
gains and increased acreage. A continued recognition of the value 
associated with Pioneer (R) brand soybeans provided for market share 
gains, while poor planting conditions for corn resulted in more 
acreage being planted to soybeans - both providing positive effects on 
unit sales and accounting for $6 million in operating income 
improvements.  Lower per-unit cost of sales, the result of lower 
commodity costs, contributed another $1 million to the current year 
increase.  Increased fixed selling and administrative expenses and 
additional investments in research offset a portion of this increase.

On an annual basis, unit sales are expected to increase approximately 
12 percent from 1994 levels.  Improvements in product performance and 
availability of key varieties when and where they are in demand will 
play important roles in this increase.  Lower per-unit costs will also 
positively impact annual results.

Current year-to-date other products contribution improved over 40 
percent from 1994 levels.  On the whole, these products generate 
positive contributions and while they will not cover all of the 
allocated costs, not all of these costs could be eliminated in the 
event these products were discontinued.


RESTRUCTURING AND SETTLEMENTS

Year-to-date 1994 included a $4 million charge related to 
restructuring the Company's operations in Africa and the Middle East.  
Management does not expect to incur any additional restructuring 
charges for this region in 1995.

INDIRECT GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Current year indirect general and administrative expenses increased 
$10 million over 1994 levels.  Normal merit and personnel costs and 
increased community investments account for a majority of the 
increase.

<PAGE>                              -13-

NET FINANCIAL AND TAXES

Net interest income for the first nine months of fiscal 1995 increased 
$4 million compared to the same period a year ago resulting from 
higher interest rates earned on current year investments and decreased 
interest expense on lower levels of external borrowing.

Net exchange gain increased $9 million through third quarter of fiscal 
1995 compared to the same period a year earlier principally due to the 
strengthening of certain European currencies against the U.S. dollar.

One time tax planning opportunities will reduce the fiscal 1995 
effective tax rate to 37 percent.  The actual world-wide effective tax 
rate for fiscal 1994 was 38.5 percent.
