            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                        September 30, 1997
                      (Dollars in Millions)


NOTE A - BASIS OF FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

      Basis of Presentation: The accompanying consolidated
financial statements at September 30, 1997 and for the
three-month periods ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, are
unaudited, but are prepared in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles for interim financial information and
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring
entries) which, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
fair presentation of financial position, results of operations
and cash flows. These unaudited consolidated financial statements
should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated
financial statements as of and for the year ended June 30, 1997,
and notes thereto, included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K.

      Restatement of Financial Information: The Company has
restated its financial statements as of and for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 and as of and for the years
ended June 30, 1997 and 1996. This action was taken following
consultation with the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission regarding the deferral of $16 of gain resulting from
the sale of the Company's 50.1% interest in Del Monte Philippines
in March 1996. The Company had allocated $16 of the $100 proceeds
from the sale to the supply agreement the Company signed in
conjunction with the sale. The deferred gain of $16 was being
recognized over the eight-year term of the supply agreement. After
discussions with the staff of the Securities and Exchange
Commission, the Company has recognized the $16 gain at the time
of the sale.

      The financial statements as of and for the three months
ended September 30, 1997 and 1996 have been restated to include
the $16 gain in retained earnings and to reverse the recognition
of $1 of the deferred gain. The impact of these adjustments on
the Company's financial results as originally reported is
summarized below.

      The major classes of inventory are as follows:

      During the twelve months ended June 30, 1997 and the three
months ended September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively, inflation
had a minimal impact on production costs. As a result, the effect
of accounting for these inventories by the LIFO method has had no
material effect on inventories at June 30, 1997 and September 30,
1997 or on results of operations for the three months ended
September 30, 1997 and 1996, respectively.


NOTE C - NET INCOME (LOSS) PER COMMON SHARE

      Net income (loss) per common share was computed by dividing
net income (loss) attributable to common shares by the weighted
average number of common and redeemable common shares outstanding
during the period. Net income (loss) attributable to common
shares is computed as net income or loss reduced by cash and
in-kind dividends for the period on redeemable preferred stock.

                      (Dollars in Millions)


NOTE D - PREFERRED STOCK

      On October 13, 1997, the Company authorized a new series of
cumulative redeemable preferred stock, Series C, and issuance of
shares of such new series of preferred stock in exchange for all
of the issued and outstanding shares of cumulative redeemable
preferred stock, Series A and B, currently held by preferred
stock shareholders. The Series A and B preferred stock were
retired upon completion of this exchange.

      The terms of the Series C preferred stock are substantially
identical to those of the Series A and B stock with the exception
of a call premium and right of holders to require redemption upon
a change in control. The Series C preferred stock will be
redeemable at the option of the Company at redemption price
ranging from 103% of the liquidation preference, if redeemed
prior to October 1998, to 100% of the liquidation preference, if
redeemed after October 2000. The Series A and B preferred stock
was redeemable by the Company at par. In the event of a change of
control of the Company, the holders of the Series C preferred
stock will have the right to require the Company to repurchase
shares of such stock at 101% of the liquidation preference. Under
the terms of the Series A and B preferred stock, shares of such
stock were mandatorily redeemable (i.e., the holder did not have
the option of continuing to hold such shares) at 101% of the
liquidation preference.

NOTE E - SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On November 12, 1997, the Company entered into an agreement
to purchase the Contadina processed tomato businesses, including
the Contadina trademark worldwide, capital assets and inventory.
The acquisition is expected to close in December 1997.

                      (Dollars in Millions)

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

Results of Operation

      During the first half of fiscal 1997, the Company sold its
interests Del Monte Latin America. At the end of fiscal 1997, a
distribution agreement under which the Company sold certain
products at cost or Yorkshire Dried Fruit & Nuts, Inc. expired.
These events are collectively referred to as the "Divested
Operations".

Three Months Ended September 30, 1997 vs. Three Months Ended
September 30, 1996

      Net Sales. Consolidated net sales for the first fiscal
quarter of 1998 decreased by $13 compared to prior year quarter
due to the absence of the Divested Operations. Net sales, after
adjusting for the effect of the invested Operations, increased by
$6 compared to the prior year quarter primarily due to higher
volumes in the vegetable and tomato businesses. The vegetable and
tomato businesses have experienced an increase in sales volumes
(3% and 19%, respectively) and net sales (3% and 15%,
respectively) compared to prior year period, which has been
partially offset by volume and net sales decreases of 2% and 3%
respectively in the fruit business. The Company's current
vegetable and tomato pricing has begun to meet some resistance
due to competitive discounting in the marketplace. As a result of
this competitive activity, the Company has experienced some
market share loss in vegetables for the current year quarter
versus prior year quarter.

      Cost of Sales and Gross Profit. Gross profit for the first
quarter decreased by $1 from the prior year period. Gross margin
percentage, after adjusting for the effect of the Divested
Operations, has remained relatively stable (31.5% for first
quarter fiscal 1998 versus 31.4% for first quarter fiscal
1997). Gross margin for the fruit segment (which includes
pineapple) increased from 25.8% in prior year quarter to 27.1%
in current year quarter, but this gain was offset as the gross
margin percentages for vegetables and tomatoes decreased form
38.1% to 37.1% and from 32.0% to 29.4%, respectively.

      Costs are expected to increase in the current year primarily
due to an increase in processing costs. The Company's peach and
pear growing regions experienced a compressed harvesting season.
This shortened time frame for harvesting caused an increase in
the use of cold storage for peaches and pears until processing
capacity became available. In addition, smaller fruit size
lowered raw product recoveries. Cooler weather than normal
resulted in late plantings for some vegetables, lower field
yields and slower recoveries. The adverse weather and harvesting
conditions are not expected to impact the Company's supply of
product available for sale, however, since carry-in inventories
were adequate to cover shortfalls from the current year harvest.

      Selling, Advertising, Administrative and General Expenses.
Selling, advertising, administrative and general expenses, after
adjusting for Divested Operations, increased by $1 versus the
same period of the prior year. Administrative and general
expenses have increased from the prior year period due to an
increase in marketing spending support offset by lower benefit
plan costs. This higher spending is a combination of spending
earlier in the year (timing) and higher trade promotion expense
resulting form the competitive situation in vegetables and
tomatoes.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense has increased by $4
compared to the prior year quarter, primarily due to higher
outstanding debt balances in first quarter of the current year
resulting from the recapitalization transaction that occurred in
the fourth quarter of fiscal 1997.

Financial condition - Liquidity and Capital Resources

      The Company's primary cash requirements are to fund debt
service, finance seasonal working capital needs and make capital
expenditures. Internally generated funds and amounts available
under its Revolving Credit Facility are the Company's primary
sources of liquidity.

      As of September 30, 1997, the Company's Short Term
Borrowings and Long Term Debt primarily consisted of a revolving
credit facility, bank term loans, and senior subordinated notes
(collectively, the "Debt"). The Debt agreements contain
restrictive covenants, the most restrictive of which is the
maximum senior debt ratio. The Company is in compliance with all
such covenants for the first quarter of fiscal 1998.

      The working capital requirements of the Company are
seasonally affected by the growing cycle of the vegetables, fruits
and tomatoes it processes. Substantially all inventories are
produced during the harvesting and packing months of June trough
October and depleted through the remaining seven months.
Accordingly, working capital requirements fluctuate significantly.
The increase in inventories at September 30, 1997 from June 30,
1997 reflects the seasonal inventory buildup. The increase in
accounts payable and accrued expenses from June 30, 1997 to
September 30, 1997 primarily reflects accrued expenses resulting
from higher levels of trade and consumer promotions and accruals
remaining from the peak production period.

      To finance this seasonal production, the Company relies on
its Revolving Credit Facility, which has a maximum availability
of $350, subject to an asset-based borrowing base. As of
September 30, 1997, $237 was outstanding under the Revolving
Credit Facility, compared to $82 at June 30, 1997.

      The Company expects that its fiscal 1998 capital
expenditures will be approximately $40.
