            NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                      
                              January 29, 1994


1.  Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
    
    In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
    condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal
    and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial
    position of the Registrant as of January 29, 1994 and July 31, 1993 and
    results of operations for the three and six month periods ended January
    29, 1994 and January 30, 1993.  All significant intercompany
    transactions and accounts have been eliminated in consolidation.  The
    July 31, 1993 balance sheet was derived from audited financial
    statements.
    
    The results of operations for the three and six month periods ended
    January 29, 1994 and January 30, 1993 are not necessarily indicative of
    the results to be expected for the full year.
    
    The accounting policies followed by the Registrant are set forth in Note
    1 to the Registrant's financial statements in the 1993 Seneca Foods
    Corporation Annual Report and 10-K.
    
    Other footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
    prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have
    been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these consolidated
    condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
    statements and notes included in the Registrant's July 31, 1993 financial
    report.
    
2.  Primary earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
    common shares outstanding, as the effect of common stock equivalents is
    immaterial.  The difference between primary and fully diluted earnings
    per share is immaterial.
    
3.  Off-Season Reserve is the excess of absorbed expenses over incurred
    expenses to date.  The seasonal nature of the Registrant's business
    results in a timing difference between expenses (primarily overhead
    expenses) incurred and absorbed into product cost.  All Off-Season
    Reserve balances are zero at fiscal year end.

4. The Registrant's investment in the common stock of Moog Inc. is carried
   at the lower of aggregate cost or market.  The market value of these
   securities was $6,964,000 as of January 29, 1994.  There were no realized
   gains or losses during the periods presented.  Unrealized gains were
   $886,000 at January 29, 1994.  The Registrant has the ability and intent
   to hold these securities for the foreseeable future.

5. As reported on a January 1994 8-K, the Registrant acquired certain assets
   of ERLY Juice, Inc. and WorldMark, Inc.(citrus juice business) which
   totalled $8,372,000; and Sanofi-Bio Industries, Inc. (industrial juice
   business) which totalled $3,298,000.

                              January 29, 1994


6.  The Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
    109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes," effective August 1, 1993.  The
    Statement supersedes A.P.B. No. 11 and SFAS No. 96, "Accounting for
    Income Taxes," which was not adopted by the Registrant.  SFAS #109 uses
    the liability method of accounting for income taxes where deferred
    liabilities and assets are determined based on the difference between the
    financial statement and tax bases of assets and liabilities, using
    enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are
    expected to reverse.  The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 109 on
    the Registrant's financial statements was to increase earnings by
    $2,006,000 ($.66 per share).
    
    The primary components of temporary differences that give rise to the
    Registrant's net deferred tax liability, as of August 1, 1993, are as
    follows:

    Deferred Tax Assets:
      Accrued Expenses                                 $2,373
      Pension                                             238
      Other                                                42
      Valuation Allowance                                   -
                                                       ______    
      Total Deferred Tax Assets                         2,653
    
    Deferred Tax Liabilities:
      Property, Plant, and Equipment (excess
        of book basis over tax basis)                  11,356
      Inventories                                         231
                                                       ______
      Total Deferred Liabilities                       11,587
                                                       ______    
    Net Deferred Tax Liability                         $8,934

The Registrant believes that the components of the provision for income taxes
and actual effective rate reconciliation will not vary significantly from
that previously reported.

The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended January 30,
1993 is included in the Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income as
previously presented.

                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                OF FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                      
                              January 29, 1994
    
Results of Operations:

Sales:

Sales reflect an increase of 12.2% for the first six months versus 1993.  The
higher sales, in large part, are due to higher canned vegetables selling
prices and quantities sold than the previous periods.

Costs and Expenses:

The following table shows cost and expenses as a percentage of sales:

                           Three Months Ended  Six Months Ended
                           __________________  ________________

                           _______  _______   _______  _______         
Cost of Product Sold          85.1%   87.3%     85.6%    86.4%

Administrative                 3.9     3.2       3.7      3.5
Interest Expense               2.0     2.9       2.2      3.2
                              ____   _____      ____    _____
                              97.6%  100.4%     98.4%   100.1%

Lower Cost of Product Sold percentages (i.e. higher Gross Margins) reflect,
in part, higher selling prices for vegetable products than in the prior year
due to the floods in the Midwest.  The Interest Expense is lower largely due
to the debt refinancing and lower inventories.

Income Taxes:

The effective tax rate used in fiscal 1994 is 39% and in fiscal 1993 it is
22%.  1993 is lower than 1994 because of the 1993 loss from continuing
operations.  The Registrant adopted Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 109,  "Accounting for Income Taxes", effective August 1, 1993.
See footnotes for details.
    
Financial Condition:

The financial condition of the Registrant is summarized in the following
table and explanatory review (In Thousands):

                              January 29, 1994
    

The change in the Working Capital for the quarter from the prior year is
largely due to the acquisition of certain assets of ERLY Juice, Inc. and
Worldmark, Inc.(see footnote for details) plus capital expenditures in
current year with nothing comparable in the prior year.  Notes Payable is
$24.4 million less than the prior period due to lower inventory which was
caused by lower packs in the Midwest due to the wet conditions and due to the
higher sales of vegetables.  See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for
further details.
