                    SENECA FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                               September 30, 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  September  30,  2000  and  results  of
        operations for the three and six month periods ended  September 30, 2000
        and  October 2, 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 and six month  periods  ended
        September 30, 2000 and October 2, 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.

</TABLE>

The change in the  Working  Capital  for the  September  2000  quarter  from the
September  1999  quarter is largely due to higher  earnings in the current  year
quarter than the prior year  quarter  ($2,053,000  as compared to $325,000  last
year). For the six months,  capital  expenditures  were $11.8 million in 2000 as
compared to $7.6 million in 1999. In the first six months of 2000,  $3.4 million
of these capital  expenditures  were funded via a capital escrow account,  which
was a result of an Industrial Revenue Bond issued last year.
