                  IMPERIAL HOLLY CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                  NINE MONTHS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

     Basis of Presentation -- The unaudited condensed consolidated financial
statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and reflect, in the
opinion of management, all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring
accruals, that are necessary for a fair presentation of financial position and
results of operations for the interim periods presented. These financial
statements include the accounts of Imperial Holly Corporation and its majority
owned subsidiaries (the "Company"). All significant intercompany balances and
transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain information and
footnote disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles have
been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The financial
statements included herein should be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form
10-K for the year ended March 31, 1994.

     Cost of Sales -- Payments to growers for sugarbeets are based in part upon
the Company's average net return for sugar sold (as defined in the participating
contracts with growers) during the grower contract years, some of which extend
beyond December 31. The contracts provide for the sharing of the net selling
price (gross sales price less certain marketing costs, including packaging
costs, brokerage, freight expense and amortization of costs for certain
facilities used in connection with marketing) with growers. Cost of sales
includes an accrual for estimated additional amounts to be paid to growers based
on the average net return realized for sugar sold during each of the contract
years through December 31. The final cost of sugarbeets cannot be determined
until the end of the contract year for each growing area. Manufacturing costs
prior to production are deferred and allocated to production costs based on
estimated total units of production for each sugar manufacturing campaign.
Additionally, the Company's sugar inventories, which are accounted for on a LIFO
basis, are periodically reduced at interim dates to levels below that of the
beginning of the fiscal year. When such interim LIFO liquidations are expected
to be restored prior to fiscal year-end, the estimated replacement cost of the
liquidated layers is utilized as the basis of the cost of sugar sold from
beginning of the year inventory. Accordingly, the cost of sugar utilized in the
determination of cost of sales for interim periods includes estimates which may
require adjustment in future fiscal periods.

     Contingencies -- In 1992, the U.S. Customs Service ("Customs") notified the
Company that Customs had audited customs drawback claims filed by the Company in
1985 and that Customs would require the Company to repay to Customs certain
duties and fees previously refunded to the Company. In April 1992, the Company
refunded $2.5 million to Customs under protest, a condition precedent to the
commencement of an appeal of the audit decision and recorded such amount in
other assets. The Company has reached a tentative settlement

                                     - 7 -

with Customs, subject to final approval by the U.S. Department of the Treasury,
which would result in the Company collecting the amount previously recorded.

     The Company was notified by the Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") in
July 1994 that it had been reclassified as a "de minimis" potentially
responsible party with respect to the Operating Industries, Inc. Superfund site
in Monterey, California. The EPA has indicated that fuel oil removed from a
former Holly Sugar Corporation factory was disposed of at the site by a third
party waste disposal contractor when the factory was closed in 1977, prior to
the acquisition of Holly Sugar by the Company. According to the EPA,
approximately 300 potentially responsible parties have previously agreed to
perform portions of the cleanup work at the site and to pay the costs for the
oversight of this work. By law, as long as a party remains a "de minimis"
potentially responsible party, liability for clean up costs is limited to no
more than $500,000. Holly Sugar had third party insurance coverage in force in
1977 which management believes may provide coverage against losses which may be
incurred. The Company has not been able to determine its ultimate liability, if
any, with respect to this matter.

     Other - In December 1994, the Company sold a distribution facility in
exchange for a $1,280,000 three year note and recorded a deferred gain of
$780,000.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
         RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FINANCIAL CONDITION

     The Company finances its working capital and capital expenditure
requirements from a combination of funds generated by operations and short-term
borrowing arrangements, including short- term, secured, non-recourse borrowings
from the Commodity Credit Corporation ("CCC"). Net selling prices of sugar
during parts of the year have been below collateral rates on some CCC loans. The
Company chose to forfeit sugar in full satisfaction of a CCC loan which matured
August 31, 1994 in the amount of $652,000. CCC loans outstanding at December 31,
1994 totaled $36,142,000.

     The increase in raw and in-process inventory during the nine months ended
December 31, 1994 was due to the seasonal production schedule of the Company's
beet sugar operations as well as increases in raw cane sugar inventory. The
increases in accounts payable result from the timing of the payments for sugar
beets.

     Short-term borrowings and the increase in accounts payable related to
sugarbeet purchases were used to finance the increase in inventory. Long-term
debt consists almost entirely of $100 million principal amount of 8-3/8% senior
notes due 1999, which requires semi-annual interest-only payments prior to
maturity. Management believes that existing internal and external sources are
adequate to meet its financing requirements, including fiscal 1995 capital
expenditures, estimated at $8.5 million. The Company's marketable securities
portfolio is reported at its market value of $32.6 million at December 31, 1994,
$6.2 million in excess of its cost basis.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     Net sales decreased $28.3 million or 16.1% for the quarter and $49.8
million or 9.8% for the nine months ended December 31, 1994 as compared to the
same periods of the prior year, principally due to decreases in the volume of
sugar sold of 13.2% and 7.5% respectively, as well as reductions in beet pulp
volumes. In an effort to improve gross margins, the Company was more selective
in sales opportunities which, in addition to lower first quarter beet sugar
production owing to the Betteravia factory closure in July 1993, was largely
responsible for the volume reductions.

     On September 29, 1994, the USDA announced that marketing allotments
provided for in the current Farm Bill were being imposed on refined beet sugar
and raw cane sugar for the USDA fiscal year which commenced October 1, 1994.
Based on the announced allotments and the Company's current production
estimates, Management does not believe that marketing allotments will materially
restrict the Company's beet sugar sales volumes or materially affect inventory
levels. Selling prices have shown only modest increases from the depressed
levels experienced prior to the announcement. Average sales prices realized by
the Company during the third quarter improved 2.1% when

                                     - 9 -

compared to the immediately preceeding quarter, partially as a result of a
more favorable seasonal product mix, but remained 2.7% below year earlier
levels.

     Cost of sales decreased $49.4 million or 10.7% during the nine months ended
December 31, 1994 compared to the same period of the prior year primarily due to
the decreases in sales volumes. As a percent of sales, cost of sales decreased
from 90.8% to 89.9% for the nine month period. For the third quarter, cost of
sales decreased $29.1 million or 18.2% and represented 88.2% of sales, down from
90.6% in the prior year's quarter. Unit costs of sugar sold declined 3.1% for
the nine months and 5.9% for the third quarter of the fiscal year as a result of
exceptional production campaigns in certain of the Company's factories
and the elimination of high cost production from the Betteravia factory which
was closed in July 1993. Raw cane sugar costs, which declined during most of the
quarter but were beginning to increase by quarter end, averaged .6% lower than
the year earlier quarter and 1.6% higher than the first nine month period. These
improvements more than offset the impact of smaller beet crops in the Hereford
and Worland factories, and rail delays of sugarbeet deliveries in Northern
California. The recent flooding in Northern California forced the Hamilton City
factory to cease production for a week in January. The facility sustained no
damage, however, unit manufacturing costs for this factory are expected to
increase in the fourth quarter as a result of the interruption. The Company
purchases sugarbeets under participatory contracts which provide for a
percentage sharing of the net selling price realized on refined beet sugar sales
between the Company and the grower. Use of this type of contract reduces the
Company's exposure to inventory price risks on sugarbeet purchases so long as
the contract net selling price does not fall below the regional minimum support
prices established by the USDA. Depressed refined sugar selling prices have
resulted in net selling prices falling below such minimum support levels in some
contract areas. Consequently, the decline in the unit selling price of refined
beet sugar was only partially offset by a decline in the unit cost of sugar
beets purchased.

     Total selling, general and administrative expenses decreased by $4.9
million or 10.3% for the nine months compared to the same period of the prior
year, as decreases in warehousing costs were coupled with reductions in general
and administrative costs. The Company undertook a cost reduction program, which
included a work force reduction in the third quarter of the prior fiscal year,
with the majority of the cost reductions reflected in selling, general and
administrative expenses. For the third quarter, increases in brand advertising
largely offset reductions in warehousing, general and administrative costs.

     Interest expense for the nine month period ended December 31, 1994 was
lower than the comparable period of the prior year as a result of the repayment
out of lower cost short-term borrowings of the remaining $18.8 million principal
amount of 10.93% senior notes in October 1993. Higher average interest rates,
somewhat offset by lower average short-term balances,

                                     - 10 -

accounted for the increase in interest cost in the third fiscal quarter. Other
income -- net includes a $1.4 million gain on the sale of a corporate aircraft
in May 1994.

     The provision for income taxes for the nine months ended December 31, 1993,
includes a charge of $872,000 to adjust the Company's deferred tax liabilities
for the increase in corporate income tax rates enacted in August 1993.

                  IMPERIAL HOLLY CORPORATION RETIREMENT PLAN

             (As Amended and Restated Effective January 1, 1989)

                               SECOND AMENDMENT

            Imperial Holly Corporation, having adopted the Imperial Holly
Corporation Retirement Plan, as amended and restated effective January 1, 1989,
and as thereafter amended (the "Plan"), and having reserved the right under
Section 7.2 thereof to amend the Plan, does by these presents hereby amend the
Plan, effective as of the dates specified herein, as follows:

            1. Section 1.1(A)(20) of the Plan is hereby amended effective
January 1, 1994, to read hereafter as follows:

            "(20) The term "Compensation" as used herein means all
      compensation actually paid to a Participant by the Employer as reported on
      the Participant's Form W-2 plus any amount which is contributed by the
      Employer pursuant to a salary reduction agreement or otherwise deferred
      and which is not included in the gross income of the Participant under
      Code Sections 125, 402(a)(8), 402(h), 403(b), 457(b) or 414(h)(2). For
      purposes of determining the amount of such Compensation, the books and
      records of the Employer shall be conclusive. Notwithstanding anything
      herein to the contrary, in no event shall the annual Compensation taken
      into account under the Plan for any Employee from and after January 1,
      1989, exceed $200,000, which maximum amount shall be adjusted for cost of
      living adjustments at the same time and in the same manner as prescribed
      under Code Section 415(d).

            In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan,
      and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for
      Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the annual Compensation
      of each Employee taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed
      $150,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of
      living in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Code. The
      cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies to any
      period, not exceeding 12 months, over which Compensation is determined
      ("determination period") beginning in such calendar year. If a
      determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the Compensation
      limit will be multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is

                                      -1-

      the number of months in the determination period, and the denominator of
      which is 12.

            For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference
      in this Plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall
      mean the Compensation limit set forth in this provision.

            If Compensation for any prior determination period is taken into
      account in determining an Employee's benefits accruing in the current Plan
      Year, the Compensation for that prior determination period is subject to
      the Compensation limit in effect for that prior determination period. For
      this purpose, for determination periods beginning before the first day of
      the first Plan Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the
      Compensation limit is $150,000. For purposes of applying these limits on
      Compensation, the family unit of an Employee who either is a 5% owner or
      is both a highly compensated employee and one of the ten most highly
      compensated employees will be treated as a single Employee with one
      Compensation, and the Compensation limit (except for purposes of
      determining the portion of compensation up to the integration level of
      $1,275 per month) will be allocated among the members of the family unit
      in proportion to the total Compensation of each member of the family unit.
      For this purpose, a family unit consists of the Employee who is a 5% owner
      or one of the ten most highly compensated employees, the Employee's
      spouse, and the Employee's lineal descendants who have not attained age 19
      before the close of the year."

            2. Section 2.2(B)(1) of the Plan is hereby amended effective January
1, 1994, by adding the following two paragraphs at the end thereof, as follows:

            "Unless otherwise provided under the Plan, each Section 401(a)(17)
      Employee's accrued benefit under this Plan will be the greater of the
      accrued benefit determined for the Employee under (x) or (y) below:

                  (x) the Employee's accrued benefit determined with respect to
            the benefit formula applicable for the Plan Year beginning on or
            after January 1, 1994, as applied to the Employee's total years of
            Credited Service taken into account under the Plan for the purposes
            of benefit accruals; or

                  (y)   the sum of:

                        (i) the Employee's accrued benefit as of the last day of
                  the last Plan Year beginning before January 1, 1994, frozen in
                  accordance with Section 1.401(a)(4)-13 of the regulations; and

                                      -2-

                        (ii) the Employee's accrued benefit determined under the
                  benefit formula applicable for the Plan Year beginning on or
                  after January 1, 1994, as applied to the Employee's years of
                  Credited Service credited to the Employee for Plan Years
                  beginning on or after January 1, 1994 for purposes of benefit
                  accruals.

            A Section 401(a)(17) Employee means an employee whose current
      accrued benefit as of a date on or after the first day of the first Plan
      Year beginning on or after January 1, 1994 is based on Compensation for a
      year beginning prior to the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on
      or after January 1, 1994 that exceeded $150,000."

            3. The first sentence of subsection (D) of Section 2.4 is hereby
amended effective January 1, 1989, to read as follows:

      "The benefit payable upon disability retirement shall commence at the time
      provided in subsection (E) below, if the Participant is then living and
      totally disabled."

            4. The second sentence of subsection (E) of Section 2.4 is hereby
amended effective January 1, 1989, to read as follows:

      "The first payment will be made on the first day of the month coincident
      with or next following the later of (1) the date the Participant attains
      age 65 and (2) the date such Participant's long-term disability benefits
      cease. Unless Option 2 is applicable or the Participant otherwise elects,
      such payments shall be payable on a five-year certain and life annuity
      basis. To the extent the first payment commences after the first day of
      the month coincident with or next following the date the Participant
      attains age 65, the amount of his Disability Retirement Income will be
      actuarially adjusted for such late commencement."

            5. Subsection (F) of Section 2.4 is hereby amended in its entirety
effective January 1, 1989, to read as follows:

            "(F) BENEFIT PAYABLE IN THE EVENT OF DEATH OF DISABLED PARTICIPANT
      PRIOR TO COMMENCEMENT OF DISABILITY RETIREMENT INCOME: In the event that
      the death of a disabled Participant occurs after he has been determined to
      be disabled by the Retirement Committee, but prior to the commencement of
      his Disability Retirement Income and after his earning five years of
      Vesting Service, his Beneficiary (or Beneficiaries) will receive the death
      benefit, payable in the manner described in Section 2.5(C) hereof, which
      would have been payable on behalf of the Participant under the provisions
      of such Section 2.5(C) assuming

                                    -3-

      that he had continued in the employ of the Employer and assuming that his
      last regular rate of monthly Compensation prior to the date of termination
      of his service due to disability would have continued without change to
      the date of his death. For purposes of this subsection the period of
      disability shall be counted as Vesting Service. If the Participant dies
      after he has been determined to be disabled by the Retirement Committee
      but prior to the commencement of his Disability Retirement Income, and
      after earning a partially vested interest in the Plan but prior to
      completing five years of Vesting Service, his Beneficiary (or
      Beneficiaries) will receive as a death benefit, payable in the manner
      described in Section 2.5(B) hereof, the amount which would have been
      payable on behalf of the Participant under the provisions of Section
      2.5(B) but assuming that service had terminated and his Compensation had
      ceased on the date of his termination of service due to disability."

            6. Section 3.4 of the Plan is hereby amended effective January 1,
1994, by adding the following three paragraphs at the end thereof:

            "From and after January 1, 1994, in the event of early Plan
      termination, the benefit of any highly compensated active or former
      Employee is limited to a benefit that is non-discriminatory under Section
      401(a)(4). In the event of early Plan termination, benefits distributed to
      any of the 25 most highly compensated active and highly compensated former
      Employees with the greatest Compensation in the current or any prior year
      are restricted such that the annual payments are no greater than an amount
      equal to the payment that would be made on behalf of the Employee under a
      straight life annuity that is the actuarial equivalent of the sum of the
      Employee's accrued benefit, the Employee's other benefits under the Plan
      (other than a social security supplement, within the meaning of Section
      1.411(a)-7(c)(4)(ii) of the Income Tax Regulations), and the amount the
      Employee is entitled to receive under a social security supplement.

            The preceding paragraph shall not apply if: (i) after payment of the
      benefit to an Employee described in the preceding paragraph, the value of
      Plan assets equals or exceeds 110% of the value of current liabilities, as
      defined in Section 412(l)(7) of the Code, (ii) the value of the benefits
      for an Employee described above is less than 1% of the value of current
      liabilities before distribution, or (iii) the value of the benefits
      payable under the Plan to an Employee described above does not exceed
      $3,500.

            For purposes of this Section, benefit includes loans in excess of
      the amount set forth in Section 72(p)(2)(A) of the Code, any periodic
      income, any withdrawal values payable to a living Employee, and any death
      benefits not provided for by insurance on the Employee's life."

                                    -4-

            7. The Plan is hereby amended effective January 1, 1993, by adding
the following new Section 3.11 thereto, as follows:

            "3.11 DIRECT ROLLOVERS: Effective January 1, 1993, notwithstanding
      any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a
      Distributee's election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the
      time and in the manner prescribed by the Retirement Committee, to have any
      portion of an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible
      Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. For the
      purposes of this Section the following definitions shall apply:

                  (i) "Eligible Rollover Distribution" shall mean any
            distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of
            the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does
            not include: any distribution that is one of a series of
            substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than
            annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee
            or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee
            and the Distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specific
            period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such
            distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and
            the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross
            income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net
            unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).

                  (ii) "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall mean an
            individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the
            Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b)
            of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the
            Code, or a qualified trust described in section 401(a) of the Code,
            that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution.
            However, in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to the
            surviving spouse, an Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual
            retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

                  (iii) "Distributee" shall mean a Participant or former
            Participant of the Plan. In addition, the Participant's or former
            Participant's surviving spouse and the Participant's or former
            Participant's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee
            under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section
            414(p) of the Code, are Distributees with regard to the interest of
            the spouse or former spouse.

                  (iv)  "Direct Rollover" shall mean a payment by the
            Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee."

                                      -5-

                          IMPERIAL HOLLY CORPORATION
                        EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLAN

                  (As Established Effective January 1, 1988)

                               FIFTH AMENDMENT

            Imperial Holly Corporation, a Texas corporation, having established
the Imperial Holly Corporation Employee Stock Ownership Plan, effective January
1, 1988 and as thereafter amended (the "Plan"), and having reserved the right
under Section 9.5 thereof to amend the Plan, does hereby amend the Plan,
effective as of the dates specified herein, as follows:

            1. Effective January 1, 1994, Section 1.5 is hereby amended in its
entirety, to read as follows:

            "1.5 ANNUAL COMPENSATION: The compensation paid to a Participant by
      his Employer or Affiliate during the applicable Plan Year that is required
      to be reported as wages on the Participant's Form W-2 for income tax
      purposes, including contributions made during the Plan Year on a salary
      reduction basis under any qualified cash or deferred arrangement under
      Code Section 401(k). The Annual Compensation of a Participant as reflected
      on the books and records of his Employer shall be conclusive. Effective
      January 1, 1989, the Annual Compensation of each Participant taken into
      account under the Plan for any Plan Year shall not exceed $200,000 (or
      such adjusted amount as provided under Code Section 401(a)(17)). Annual
      Compensation shall include all amounts paid to a Participant while
      actually employed, and shall not be limited to those amounts paid while
      actually participating during any Plan Year. Notwithstanding the foregoing
      provisions of this Section 1.5, the Annual Compensation of each
      Participant who is a highly compensated employee (within the meaning of
      Code Section 414(q)), shall, for purposes of Section 5.2(d)(iii), be
      reduced on a comparative compensation basis so that the aggregate
      allocation of Employer Contributions under this Plan in a particular Plan
      Year to such group of Participants does not exceed one-third (1/3) of the
      aggregate Employer Contributions for the Plan Year.

            In addition to other applicable limitations set forth in the Plan,
      and notwithstanding any other provision of the Plan to the contrary, for
      Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, the Annual Compensation
      of each Employee taken into account under the Plan shall not exceed
      $150,000, as adjusted by the Commissioner for increases in the cost of
      living in accordance with Section 401(a)(17)(B) of the Internal Revenue
      Code. The cost-of-living adjustment in effect for a calendar year applies
      to any period, not exceeding 12 months, over which Annual Compensation is
      determined (determination period) beginning in such calendar year. If a
      determination period consists of fewer than 12 months, the Annual
      Compensation limit will be multiplied by a fraction,

                                      -1-

      the numerator of which is the number of months in the determination
      period, and the denominator of which is 12.

            For Plan Years beginning on or after January 1, 1994, any reference
      in this Plan to the limitation under Section 401(a)(17) of the Code shall
      mean the Annual Compensation limit set forth in this provision.

            If Annual Compensation for any prior determination period is taken
      into account in determining an Employee's benefits accruing in the current
      Plan Year, the Annual Compensation for that prior determination period is
      subject to the Annual Compensation limit in effect for that prior
      determination period. For this purpose, for determination periods
      beginning before the first day of the first Plan Year beginning on or
      after January 1, 1994, the Annual Compensation limit is $150,000. For
      purposes of applying the $150,000 limit on Annual Compensation, the family
      unit of an Employee who either is a 5% owner or is both a highly
      compensated employee and one of the ten most highly compensated employees
      will be treated as a single Employee with one Annual Compensation, and the
      $150,000 limit will be allocated among the members of the family unit in
      proportion to the total Annual Compensation of each member of the family
      unit. For this purpose, a family unit consists of the Employee who is a 5%
      owner or one of the ten most highly compensated employees, the Employee's
      spouse, and the Employee's lineal descendants who have not attained age 19
      before the close of the year."

            2. Article VII of the Plan is hereby amended, effective January 1,
1993, by adding new Section 7.9 thereto, as follows:

            "7.9 DIRECT ROLLOVERS: Effective January 1, 1993, notwithstanding
      any provision of the Plan to the contrary that would otherwise limit a
      Distributee's election under this Section, a Distributee may elect, at the
      time and in the manner prescribed by the Committee, to have any portion of
      an Eligible Rollover Distribution paid directly to an Eligible Retirement
      Plan specified by the Distributee in a Direct Rollover. For the purposes
      of this Section the following definitions shall apply:

                  (i) "Eligible Rollover Distribution" shall mean any
            distribution of all or any portion of the balance to the credit of
            the Distributee, except that an Eligible Rollover Distribution does
            not include: any distribution that is one of a series of
            substantially equal periodic payments (not less frequently than
            annually) made for the life (or life expectancy) of the Distributee
            or the joint lives (or joint life expectancies) of the Distributee
            and the Distributee's designated beneficiary, or for a specific
            period of ten years or more; any distribution to the extent such
            distribution is required under Section 401(a)(9) of the Code; and
            the portion of any distribution that is not includable in gross
            income (determined without regard to the exclusion for net
            unrealized appreciation with respect to employer securities).

                                    -2-

                  (ii) "Eligible Retirement Plan" shall mean an
            individual retirement account described in Section 408(a) of the
            Code, an individual retirement annuity described in Section 408(b)
            of the Code, an annuity plan described in Section 403(a) of the
            Code, or a qualified trust described in section 401(a) of the Code,
            that accepts the Distributee's Eligible Rollover Distribution.
            However, in the case of an Eligible Rollover Distribution to the
            surviving spouse, an Eligible Retirement Plan is an individual
            retirement account or individual retirement annuity.

                  (iii) "Distributee" shall mean a Participant or former
            Participant of the Plan. In addition, the Participant's or former
            Participant's surviving spouse and the Participant's or former
            Participant's spouse or former spouse who is the alternate payee
            under a qualified domestic relations order, as defined in Section
            414(p) of the Code, are Distributees with regard to the interest of
            the spouse or former spouse.

                  (iv)  "Direct Rollover" shall mean a payment by the
            Plan to the Eligible Retirement Plan specified by the Distributee."

            3. The third sentence of Section 11.2 of the Plan is hereby amended,
effective January 1, 1989, to read as follows:

      "If the Plan subsequently ceases to be top heavy, the preceding schedule
      shall continue to apply with respect to any Participant who had at least
      three (3) years of service (as defined in Treasury Regulation Section
      1.411(a)-8T(b)(3)) as of the close of the last year that the Plan was top
      heavy."

            IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Imperial Holly Corporation has caused this
Amendment to be executed by its duly authorized officers this 28 day of
December, 1994, but effective as stated herein.

            (As Amended and Restated Effective September 1, 1993)

                               FIRST AMENDMENT

            Imperial Holly Corporation, a Texas corporation, having established
the Imperial Holly Corporation Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as amended and

            1. Section 3.6 of the Plan is amended in its entirety to read as
follows:

            "3.6 MINIMUM CONTRIBUTION. The minimum contribution amount for
      bi-weekly or semi-monthly payroll periods for contributions made through

      Contributions made through the optional payment method shall be a minimum

      Participant on his Enrollment Form or optional payment."

            2. Terms used in this Amendment and not defined herein are used
herein as they are defined in the Plan. References in the Plan to "this Plan"
