                    SENECA FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  July 1, 2000

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 Company as of July 1, 2000 and results of operations for
        the  three  month  periods  ended  July 1,  2000 and July 3,  1999.  All
        significant intercompany  transactions and accounts have been eliminated
        in  consolidation.  The March 31, 2000  balance  sheet was derived  from
        audited financial statements.

        The results of operations for the three month periods ended July 1, 2000
        and July 3, 1999 are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results to be
        expected for the full year.

        The accounting  policies followed by the Company are set forth in Note 1
        to  the  Company's  financial   statements  in  the  2000  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 Company's  2000 Annual Report and
        10-K.

2.     Off-Season  Reserve  is the excess of  absorbed  expenses  over  incurred
       expenses to date. The seasonal  nature of the Company'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.

3      Comprehensive income consisted solely of Net Earnings and Net  Unrealized
       Gain Change on Moog, Inc. Stock. The following table provides the results
       for the periods presented:

                                                          Three Months Ended

                                                          2000          1999
                                                          ----          ----

Net Earnings                                            $1,290           $35

                                                        --------------------

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

                                  July 1, 2000

Results of Operations:

Sales:
Sales reflect an increase of 45.7% for the first three months  versus 1999.  The
higher  sales,  in  large  part,  are due to the  timing  of  canned  vegetables
quantities sold under the Company's  Alliance business.  Non-Alliance  vegetable
sales quantities were up 5.6%.

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

                                       Three Months Ended
                                       7/1/00      7/3/99
                                       ------      ------
Cost of Product Sold                     90.8%       90.2%
Selling                                   4.0         4.7
Administrative                            0.8         1.4
Interest Expense                          3.7         4.7
                                        -----------------

                                         99.3%      101.0%
                                        =================

Lower selling  expense  percentage in 2000 is as a result of higher sales in the
Non-Alliance  business which does not incur selling  expense.  Improved  selling
prices as compared to the prior year,  especially  in the Food Service  segment,
were a major contributing factor to improved profitability.

Income Taxes:
The effective tax rate used in fiscal 2000 is 38% and 1999 is 35%.

</TABLE>


The change in the Working  Capital for the June 2000  quarter from the June 1999
quarter is largely due to higher  earnings in the current  year quarter than the
prior year  quarter  ($1,290,000  as  compared to $35,000  last  year).  Capital
expenditures  were $7.3 million in 2000 as compared to $4.1 million in 1999.  In
2000,  $2.3  million of these  capital  expenditures  were  funded via a capital
escrow  account,  which was a result of an  Industrial  Revenue Bond issued last
year.

See Consolidated Condensed Statements of Cash Flows for further details.
