                   SENECA FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  July 1, 1995

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 July 1, 1995 and March 31,  1995 and
        results of operations for the three month periods ended July 1, 1995 and
        June 25, 1994. All significant  intercompany  transactions  and accounts
        have been eliminated in consolidation.  The March 31, 1995 balance sheet
        was derived from audited financial statements.

        The results of operations for the three month periods ended July 1, 1995
        and June 25, 1994 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 1995 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  March  31,  1995
        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   Food
        Processing  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  changed  its  fiscal  year end from  July 31 to March 31
       during Fiscal 1995. These financial  statements reflect the prior year as
       if the fiscal year ended March 31.

              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  July 1, 1995

5.      A proposed amendment to the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
        which effected a recapitalization of the Registrant by creating a second
        class of Common Stock (which is being distributed to all
        common shareholders in the form of a stock dividend) was adopted at the
        Annual Meeting held on August 5, 1995.  This recapitalization amendment
        (i) reclassifies the existing Common Stock as Class B Common Stock, (ii)
        authorizes a new class of 10,000,000 shares designated as Class A Common
        Stock and (iii) establishes the express terms of the Class A Common
        Stock and the Class B Common Stock.  The Class A Common Stock and the
        Class B Common Stock have substantially identical rights with respect to
        any dividends or distributions of cash or property declared on shares of
        common stock and rank equally as to the right to receive proceeds on
        liquidation or dissolution of the Registrant after payment of the
        Registrant's indebtedness and liquidation right to the holders of
        preferred shares.  However, holders of Class B Common Stock retain full
        vote per share whereas the holders of Class A Common Stock have voting
        rights of 1/20th of one vote per share on all matters as to which
        shareholders of the Registrant are entitled to vote.

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

                              July 1, 1995

Results of Operations:

Sales:
Sales reflect an increase of 15.8% for the first three months  versus 1994.  The
higher sales, in large part, are due to higher canned vegetables quantities sold
than the previous period and acquisitions made within the last year.

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

</TABLE>

Lower Cost of Product Sold percentages (i.e. higher Gross Margins) reflect, in
part, lower selling prices for vegetable products than in the prior year due to
the relatively high packs of vegetables throughout the U. S. after the previous
year which saw unprecedented floods in the Midwest.  The Interest Expense is
higher largely due to the debt issued to finance the acquisitions made over the
last year.

Income Taxes:
The effective tax rate used in fiscal 1996 is 38% and in fiscal 1995 it is 36%.

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

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

                          July 1, 1995


The change in the Working Capital for the quarter from the prior year is largely
due to  acquisition  of Green  Giant  assets in the prior  year and the  capital
expenditure  program needed for the  Registrant's  plants to take on some of the
canned vegetable volume added by the acquisition.  When the Registrant  acquired
the Green Giant assets, it did not acquire the Finished Goods. Therefore, as the
Registrant produces finished goods for Pillsbury, working capital needs increase
accordingly.

As part of the Alliance  with  Pillsbury  (see 1995 Annual  Report for details),
Pillsbury  takes  Green  Giant  inventory  as it  needs  it or at  least  by the
take-or-pay date (varies by commodity).  Due to the  industrywide  high carry-in
inventory,  it is  expected  that  Pillsbury  will begin  taking the Green Giant
inventory in significant  quantities during the third quarter. This has and will
reduce the  Registrant's  sales and  increase  its  inventories  and  associated
borrowing needs for the second quarter of 1996 versus it's original plan.

The  Registrant  was not in compliance  with certain debt  covenants  related to
Short-Term and Long-Term Debt. However, all provisions have been met or waived.

See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for further details.
