                         TIFFANY & CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (Unaudited)

1.  CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

         The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the
         accounts of Tiffany & Co. and all majority-owned domestic and foreign
         subsidiaries (the "Company").  All material intercompany balances and
         transactions have been eliminated.  The statements are without audit
         and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (which
         include only normal recurring adjustments except for the adjustment
         necessary as a result of the LIFO method of inventory valuation, which
         is based on assumptions as to inflation rates and projected fiscal
         year-end inventory levels) necessary to present fairly the Company's
         financial position as of July 31, 1994 and the results of operations
         and cash flows for the interim periods presented.  The audited
         financial statements for January 31, 1994 are presented without
         accompanying footnotes which are included in the Company's Form 10-K
         filing.

         Since the Company's business is seasonal, with a higher proportion of
         sales and income generated in the last quarter of the fiscal year, the
         results of operations for the six months ended July 31, 1994 and 1993
         are not necessarily indicative of the results of the entire fiscal
         year.

2.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories at July 31, 1994 and January 31, 1994 are summarized as 
         follows:

</TABLE>

         At July 31, 1994 and January 31, 1994, $202,727,000 and $177,379,000,
         respectively, of inventories were valued using the LIFO method.  The
         excess of such inventories valued at replacement cost over the value
         based upon the LIFO method was approximately $9,770,000 and $8,470,000
         at July 31, 1994 and January 31, 1994, respectively.  The LIFO
         valuation method had the effect of decreasing net income/(loss) by
         $.01 for the three month period ended July 31, 1994 and had no effect
         for the period ended July 31,

         1993.  The LIFO valuation method had the effect of decreasing net
         income/(loss) by $0.05 and $0.06 per share for the six month periods
         ended July 31, 1994 and 1993, respectively.

3.       POSTEMPLOYMENT BENEFITS

         Effective February 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
         Accounting Standards No. 112, "Accounting for Postemployment Benefits"
         ("SFAS No. 112"), which requires the accrual of the cost of
         postemployment benefits rather than expensing the costs when incurred.
         These benefits include salary continuation, severance benefits,
         disability benefits and continuation of health care benefits and life
         insurance coverage for former employees after employment but before
         retirement.  The adoption of this standard did not have a material
         impact on the Company's reported results of operation or financial
         condition.

4.       FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGING PROGRAM

         During the first quarter of 1994, the Company initiated a foreign
         currency hedging program intended to reduce its risk on foreign
         currency denominated transactions.  In connection with this program,
         the Company will from time to time enter into foreign currency
         purchased put options and forward exchange contracts, which are
         designated as hedges of commitments to purchase merchandise and settle
         liabilities in foreign currencies.  The market value gains and losses
         on these foreign exchange contracts are deferred and then recognized
         when the related transactions are settled.  At July 31, 1994, the
         Company had outstanding purchased put options maturing at various
         dates through October 25, 1995, giving it the right, but not the
         obligation to sell 6,444,000,000 yen at certain predetermined contract 
         exchange rates.  If current market conditions continue under which 
         the market yen exchange rates at maturity are below the contract 
         rates, the Company will allow the options to expire. The Company's 
         pre-tax expense related to purchasing these yen-put options was 
         $184,000 for the three month period ended July 31, 1994 and 
         $366,000 for the six month period ended July 31, 1994.

5.       EARNINGS PER SHARE

         Primary earnings per common share data has been computed by dividing
         net income by the weighted average number of shares outstanding during
         the period, including dilutive stock options.  Fully diluted earnings
         per common share has been computed by dividing net income, after
         giving effect to the elimination of interest expense and bond
         amortization fees, net of income tax effect, applicable to the
         convertible subordinated debentures, by the weighted average number of
         shares outstanding including dilutive stock options and the assumed
         conversion of the subordinated debentures using the "if converted"
         method.

6.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT

         On August 22, 1994, the Company's Board of Directors declared a
         quarterly dividend of $0.07 per common share.  This dividend will be
         paid on  October 11, 1994 to stockholders of record on September 20,
         1994.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company operates three channels of distribution:  U.S. Retail includes
retail sales in Company-operated stores in the U.S. and wholesale sales to
independent retailers in North America; Direct Marketing includes corporate
(business-to-business) and catalog sales; and International Retail includes
retail sales through Company-operated stores and boutiques, corporate sales,
and wholesale sales to independent retailers and distributors, primarily in
Asia-Pacific, Europe, Canada and the Middle East.

Net sales increased 33% to $152,257,000 in the three months (second quarter)
ended July 31, 1994 and increased 27% to $283,464,000 in the six months (first
half) ended July 31, 1994.

U.S. Retail sales in the second quarter increased 12% over 1993 and first half
sales increased 15%. Comparable store sales in the second quarter and first
half increased 10% and 12%, respectively.  These sales increases were primarily
generated by local-market consumers, not foreign tourists.

Direct Marketing sales rose 8% and 6% in the second quarter and first half,
respectively, primarily due to higher catalog sales.

International Retail sales were $63,782,000 in the second quarter and
$118,959,000 in the first half, representing increases of 85% and 54%,
respectively.  International Retail sales in 1994 and 1993 are not comparable
due to the Company's realignment of its Japan business in July 1993 (see
below).  In general, weak economic conditions and cautious consumer spending
negatively affected the Company's sales in Japan and in certain European
countries.  When measured in Japanese yen, sales in Company-operated boutiques
that were open more than one year increased 1% in the second quarter and
declined 5% in the first half from the corresponding 1993 periods (including
retail sales made in boutiques which were in 1993 operated by Mitsukoshi Ltd.).
Management attributes the recent improvement in Japan primarily to the
Company's merchandising and marketing/publicity initiatives, as well as to
favorable consumer response to recent price reductions effected by the Company.
The Company continued to achieve sales growth in other Asian-Pacific markets
apart from Japan. In Europe, comparable retail store sales increased 11% in the
second quarter but declined 5% in the first half.  Relative sales strength has
been concentrated in London and Zurich.

In July 1993, the Company effected a realignment of its business in Japan by
assuming merchandising and marketing responsibilities for each of the 29
TIFFANY & CO. boutiques previously operated by Mitsukoshi Ltd., an operator of
department stores.  As part of this transaction, the Company agreed to
repurchase $115,000,000 of merchandise previously sold to Mitsukoshi. As a
consequence, the Company recorded a $115,000,000 provision for product return
in the second quarter of 1993 which reduced gross profit by $57,500,000 and
reduced net income





                                      -9-
<PAGE>   10
by $32,700,000 (net of income tax benefit of $24,800,000), or $2.07 per share.
At July 31, 1994, approximately $30,000,000 of merchandise remained to be
repurchased throughout the period ending February 28, 1998.  No further charges
or sales reversals are anticipated in connection with this transaction.

Under the new arrangement, Mitsukoshi no longer purchases TIFFANY & CO.
merchandise on a wholesale basis for resale in Japan. Instead, Mitsukoshi acts
for the Company in the sale of merchandise owned by the Company and the Company
recognizes as revenues the retail price charged to the ultimate consumer in
Japan, as opposed to the wholesale price previously charged to Mitsukoshi. As a
result, the Company's reported sales in the second quarter and first half of
1994 showed a significant increase due to the Japan realignment. The Company
now holds inventories for sale, establishes retail prices, bears the risk of
currency fluctuations, provides one or more brand managers in each boutique,
controls merchandising and display within the boutiques, manages inventory and
controls and funds all advertising and publicity programs with respect to
TIFFANY & CO. merchandise. Mitsukoshi is paid at the rate of approximately 27%
of retail sales in compensation for providing boutique facilities and sales and
clerical staff, as well as for the collection of receivables and security of
store inventories.  The new arrangement entails greater seasonality in sales
for the Company than did the prior wholesale arrangement with Mitsukoshi. The
Company is experiencing greater expenses in Japan under the new arrangement,
but is also recording higher revenues at the retail level. In general,
management believes that the Company's increased revenues and corresponding
gross profit more than offset the increased expenses.

In addition, as a result of this business realignment in Japan, the Company's
reported sales and earnings results benefit from a strengthening Japanese yen
and are adversely affected by a strengthening U.S. dollar.  However, in early
fiscal 1994, the Company initiated a foreign currency hedging program intended
to reduce the negative impact of changes in the dollar-yen relationship on
the Company's financial results. The Company's pre-tax expense related to
purchasing these yen-put options was $184,000 in the second quarter and
$366,000 in the first half of fiscal 1994.

Since the realignment, the Company has initiated a number of changes in its
Japan business that have affected sales, gross margins, inventory levels and
operating expenses.

In June 1994, the Company reduced Japan retail prices by approximately 25% on
products that represent approximately 55% of Japan retail sales.  This
reduction was taken to make pricing for TIFFANY & CO. brand merchandise more
competitive with both Japanese and imported brands by reducing the premium over
U.S. prices. In the past, typical retail prices of imported luxury goods in
Japan reflected a substantial premium to "home market" prices, although a more
recent trend among retailers in Japan has been to reduce that premium. The
premium over U.S. prices for TIFFANY & CO. products is now approximately 50%,
based on current exchange rates, and management believes that such pricing is
competitive.  Price reductions for solitaire diamond rings of approximately 20%
taken in October 1993 resulted in increased unit volume in that product
category; as a result of that experience, management believes that the recent
price reduction, despite reduced gross margin, will positively affect sales and
earnings in Japan.





                                      -10-
<PAGE>   11
Other changes made since the realignment, some of which are still in progress,
include the establishment of model stock inventories for each boutique, the
installation of the Company's merchandise replenishment system which expedites
the flow of merchandise to the boutiques in Japan, the introduction of several
new jewelry collections in Japan, an increase in advertising expenditures
directed to Japan and improved visual merchandising within the boutiques.

Gross profit as a percentage of net sales (gross margin) was 51.8% and 51.5% in
the second quarter and first half, respectively. This compared with gross
margins of 48.5% and 47.5% (excluding the effect of the nonrecurring charge
related to the Japan business realignment) in 1993's second quarter and first
half, respectively, The year-over-year increases were primarily due to the
effect of recording higher retail sales as part of the Japan business
realignment.  Management expects the Company's gross margins in the second half
of fiscal 1994 to be affected by October 1993 and June 1994 price reductions 
in Japan.

Operating expenses (selling, general and administrative expenses and the
provision for uncollectible accounts) in both the second quarter and first half
of 1994 increased 30% above the prior year. Management attributes the increases
primarily to the effect of the Japan business realignment, and expects a
substantially decelerated rate of expense increase in the second half of fiscal
1994.

Other expenses increased in the second quarter and first half of 1994,
primarily due to interest expense related to higher average short-term
borrowings.

As a result of the above factors, net income in 1994's second quarter was
$3,450,000, or $0.22 per share, compared with 1993's second quarter net
earnings of $162,000, or $0.01 per share, excluding a nonrecurring charge for
the Japan business realignment  and a net loss of $32,550,000, or $2.06 per
share, including the charge. In 1994's first half, net income was $5,326,000,
or $0.34 per share, compared with 1993's net earnings of $1,199,000, or $0.08
per share, excluding the charge, and a net loss of $31,513,000, or $2.00 per
share, including the charge.

FINANCIAL CONDITION

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Management believes that the Company's financial condition at July 31, 1994
provides sufficient liquidity and resources to support current business
activity and planned expansion.

Working capital and the corresponding current ratio were $219,500,000 and 2.3:1
at July 31, 1994 compared with $212,266,000 and 2.4:1 at January 31, 1994.
Accounts receivable at July 31, 1994 declined 13% from January 31, 1994 due to
seasonal reductions. Inventories (the largest component of working capital)





                                      -11-
<PAGE>   12
increased 11% from January 31, 1994 to July 31, 1994, primarily due to the
effect of translating foreign inventories into U.S. dollars, merchandise
purchases to support sales growth, new store openings and expanded product
offerings.  The Company's objective is to improve comparable store inventory
productivity in 1994.

Capital expenditures were $6.6 million in the first half of fiscal 1994,
compared with $8.2 million in the first half of 1993.

Total debt (short-term borrowings and long-term debt) and its ratio to total
capital (total debt and stockholders' equity) were $189,087,000 and 49%,
respectively, at July 31, 1994, compared with $160,789,000 and 46%,
respectively, at January 31, 1994.

The Company's sources of working capital continue to be internally generated
funds, as well as funds available under a $100,000,000 revolving credit
facility and a yen 2,500,000,000 (approximately $25.0 million) line of credit.
Management anticipates that these sources of funds will be sufficient to
support planned worldwide business expansion, as well as seasonal working
capital increases typically required during the third and fourth quarters of
the year.

NOTE:  In anticipation of the 6 3/8% Convertible Subordinated Debenture's
       dilutive effect in the fourth quarter, fully diluted earnings per share
       reflect the weighted average number of common shares outstanding under
       the "if converted" method which assumes conversion as of the bond
       issuance date of the Debentures.  Since the "if converted" method had
       the effect of increasing fully diluted earnings per share
       (anti-dilutive) for the three and six months ended July 31, 1994,
       primary earnings per share was used for financial statement presentation
       purposes.
