(4)  In the third quarter of fiscal 1994, the Registrant revised the estimated
     useful lives of certain assets.  This change in accounting estimate
     reduced depreciation charges and increased net income by $1,934,000 and
     $1,180,000 ($.07 per share), respectively, in the second quarter of
     fiscal 1995, and reduced depreciation charges and increased net income by
     $3,868,000 and $2,398,000 ($.14 per share), respectively, in the first
     six months of fiscal 1995.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

13 Weeks Ended October 30, 1994 -
13 Weeks Ended October 31, 1993

Sales in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased $30.5 million, or 8.6%,
from the same quarter a year ago.  The increase resulted from an 18.7%
increase in sales tonnage offset by a 4.2% decrease in unit selling prices due
to sharply lower live hog costs.  The increase in sales tonnage was the result
of an 18.9% increase in fresh pork tonnage combined with a 14.7% increase in
processed meats tonnage.

     Cost of sales increased $14.2 million, or 4.6%, in the second quarter of
fiscal 1995, reflecting increased sales tonnage offset by decreased raw
material costs due to significantly lower live hog prices.  Gross profit
(sales less cost of sales) in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 increased by
$16.3 million, or 35.9%, compared to the same quarter of fiscal 1994.  This
increase in gross profit resulted from higher margins on increased sales
tonnage of both fresh pork and processed meats.  Gross profit was adversely
impacted by operations at Brown's of Carolina, Inc. ("Brown's") and
Smithfield-Carroll's, the Registrant's hog production operations.  Brown's and
Smithfield-Carroll's generated an aggregate operating loss in the second
quarter of fiscal 1995.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $7.4 million, or
22.1%, in the second quarter of fiscal 1995.  The increase reflected higher
distribution and sales and marketing costs associated with the increased sales
tonnage, higher storage costs associated with substantially increased
inventories of hams for the fall holiday season, and increased compensation
and administrative costs related to a build-up of support staff related to
current and anticipated future growth of overall business activity.

     Depreciation expense decreased $2.0 million, or 29.5%, in the second
quarter of fiscal 1995 from the corresponding period a year ago.  The decrease
reflected a revision in the estimated useful lives of certain assets offset by
increased depreciation charges related to expansion at the Registrant's Bladen
County plant and Brown's.  The change in accounting estimate reduced
depreciation charges and increased net income in the second quarter by $1.9
million and $1.2 million, respectively.

     Reflecting the factors discussed above, net income increased to $7.8
million in the second quarter of fiscal 1995 compared to net income of $.9
million in the same quarter of the prior fiscal year.

26 Weeks Ended October 30, 1994 -
26 Weeks Ended October 31, 1993

Sales in the first six months of fiscal 1995 increased $73.9 million, or
11.3%, from the same quarter a year ago.  The increase resulted from a 17.2%
increase in sales tonnage offset by a 4.7% decrease in unit selling prices due
to sharply lower live hog costs.  The increase in sales tonnage was the result
of a 21.2% increase in fresh pork tonnage combined with a 9.9% increase in
processed meats tonnage.

     Cost of sales increased $48.5 million, or 8.5%, in the first six months
of fiscal 1995, reflecting increased sales tonnage offset by decreased raw
material costs due to lower live hog prices.  Gross profit (sales less cost of
sales) in the first two quarters of fiscal 1995 increased by $25.4 million, or
30.3%, compared to the same period of fiscal 1994.  This increase in gross
profit resulted from higher margins on increased sales tonnage of both fresh
pork and processed meats.  Gross profit was adversely impacted by sharply
lower profits at Brown's and Smithfield-Carroll's, the Registrant's hog
production operations.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $12.8 million, or
20.0%, in the first six months of fiscal 1995.  The increase reflected higher
distribution and sales and marketing costs associated with the increased sales
tonnage, higher storage costs associated with substantially increased
inventories of hams for the fall holiday season, and increased compensation
and administrative costs related to a build-up of support staff related to
current and anticipated future growth of overall business activity.

     Depreciation expense decreased $3.1 million, or 24.4%, in the first two
quarters of fiscal 1995 from the corresponding period a year ago.  The
decrease reflected a revision in the estimated useful lives of certain assets
offset by increased depreciation charges related to expansion at the
Registrant's Bladen County plant and Brown's.  The change in accounting
estimate reduced depreciation charges and increased net income in the first
six months by $3.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively.

     Reflecting the factors discussed above, net income increased to $10.2
million in the first six months of fiscal 1995 compared to net income of $.6
million in the same period of the prior fiscal year.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

During the first six months of fiscal 1995, the Registrant's cash used in
operating activities was $11.0 million, the result of seasonal increases in
the level of inventories and accounts receivable associated with the fall
holiday season.  Traditionally, the Registrant builds large inventories of
hams in the spring and summer months which are sold during the fall holiday
season.

     Capital expenditures in the first six months totaled $49.9 million,
consisting primarily of $34.5 million related to the construction of a rapid
carcass chilling system, a new ham and loin conversion operation and
additional hog coolers at the Bladen County plant, and $9.1 million related to
additional hog production facilities at Brown's.

     The significant increases in the levels of accounts receivable and
inventories were funded with $16.2 million in borrowings under existing lines
of credit.  During the period, the Registrant placed $50.0 million of three-
year notes with a bank, secured by the Bladen County plant.  The notes bear
interest at a rate ranging from prime to three-quarters of a percentage point
above prime.  The note agreement requires that the Registrant prepay the loan
with the proceeds of any new long-term financings.  The proceeds from the
private placement, which were received after the close of the quarter, were
used to repay short-term borrowings under the Registrant's lines of credit
and, accordingly, $50.0 million of notes payable were classified on the
Registrant's balance sheet as long-term debt as of October 30, 1994.

     As of October 30, 1994, the Registrant had definitive commitments of
approximately $25.3 million for the remainder of fiscal 1995, primarily
related to improvements at the Bladen County plant and the construction of new
hog production facilities at Brown's.
