NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1.The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial
statements have been prepared in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles for interim
financial information and with the instructions to Form
10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly,
they do not include all of the information and footnotes
required by generally accepted accounting principles for
complete financial statements. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments (consisting of normal
recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included. Operating results for
the quarter and six months ended December 31, 1994 are
not necessarily indicative of the results that may be
expected for the year ending June 30, 1995. For further
information, refer to the consolidated financial
statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended
June 30, 1994.
Note 2. Inventories
Inventories, consisting primarily of merchandisable
agricultural commodities and related value-added
products, are carried at cost, which is not in excess of
market prices. Inventory cost methods include the last-
in, first-out (LIFO) method, the first-in,
first-out (FIFO) method and the hedging procedure method.
The hedging procedure method approximates FIFO cost.
The Company follows a policy of hedging substantially all
inventory and related purchase and sale contracts. In
addition, the Company from time to time will hedge
anticipated production, generally not exceeding six
months requirements. These hedges are made to reduce
price risk of market fluctuations and risk of crop
failure. The instruments used are principally readily
marketable exchange traded futures contracts which are
designated as hedges. The changes in market value of
such contracts have a high correlation to the price
changes of the hedged commodity. Also, the underlying
commodity can be delivered against such contracts. To
obtain a proper matching of revenue and expense, gains
or losses arising from open and closed hedging
transactions are included in inventory as a cost of the
commodities and reflected in the income statement when
the product is sold.

Note 4. Per Share Data
All references to share and per share information have
been adjusted for the 5 percent stock dividend paid
September 19, 1994 and for the 50 percent stock dividend
in the form of a
three-for-two stock split paid December 5, 1994.
Note 5. Accounting Change
Effective July 1, 1994, the Company adopted FASB
Statement No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments
in Debt and Equity Securities." The effect of adopting
Statement 115 increased the opening balance of
shareholders' equity by $51 million (net of $25 million
in deferred income taxes) to reflect the net unrealized
gain on marketable securities classified as available-
for-sale which were previously carried at cost.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
The Company is in one business segment - procuring,
transporting, storing, processing and merchandising
agricultural commodities. The availability and price of
agricultural commodities are subject to wide fluctuations due
to unpredictable factors such as: weather; plantings;
government (domestic and foreign) farm programs and policies;
changes in global demand created by population growth and
higher standards of living; and global production of similar
and competitive crops. Generally, changes in the price of
agricultural commodities can be passed through to the price of
processed products. Ethanol is one of a limited few of the
Company's processed products which must be priced to compete
with products produced from other raw materials. The Company
follows a policy of hedging substantially all inventory and
related purchase and sale contracts. In addition, the Company
from time to time will hedge anticipated production, generally
not exceeding six months requirements. These hedges are made
to reduce price risk of market fluctuations and risk of crop
failure. The instruments used are principally readily
marketable exchange traded futures contracts which are
designated as hedges. The changes in market value of such
contracts have a high correlation to the price changes of the
hedged commodity. Also, the underlying commodity can be
delivered against such contracts. To obtain a proper matching
of revenue and expense, gains or losses arising from open and
closed hedging transactions are included in inventory as a cost
of the commodities and reflected in the income statement when
the product is sold.
OPERATIONS
Net sales and other operating income increased $400 million to
$3.2 billion for the quarter and increased $802 million to $6.2
billion for the six months. Approximately $319 million of the
increase for the quarter and $592 million of the increase for
the six months are due to volume increases, including sales
attributable to recently acquired operations. The remaining
increase is attributable to average selling price increases of
approximately 3 percent for the quarter and 4 percent for the
six months. A summary of net sales and other operating income
by classes of products and services is as follows:

Sales of oilseed products increased 14 percent for the quarter
and 10 percent for the six months due primarily to increased
volume as strong export demand for vegetable oils and good
domestic demand for meal products contributed to favorable
oilseed processing market conditions. Sales of corn products
increased 8 percent for the quarter and 16 percent for the six
months due primarily to increased average selling prices
resulting from strong demand from the food and beverage industry
for sweetener products and increased demand for ethanol. The
increase in sales of wheat and other milled products for the six
months resulted primarily from sales attributable to recently
acquired wheat flour operations, partially offset by the
Company's second quarter contribution of its rice milling
operations to a joint venture. The increases in sales of other
products for both the quarter and six months are due primarily
from sales attributable to recently acquired feed operations.
Cost of products sold increased $245 million to $2.7 billion for
the quarter and increased $525 million to $5.4 billion for the
six months due principally to the increased volume of products
sold, including costs of recently acquired operations. These
volume related increases were partially offset in both the
quarter and six months by an approximate 2 percent decline for
the quarter and 1 percent decline for the six months in average
raw material commodity prices.
The combined effect of increased sales volumes, higher average
selling prices and lower raw material commodity prices resulted
in gross profits increasing $155 million to $478 million for the
quarter and increasing $277 million to $822 million for the six
months. Approximately $120 million of the increase for the
quarter and $220 million of the increase for the six months can
be attributed to improved gross profits resulting from the net
price effect of higher average selling prices and lower raw
material commodity prices. The remaining increase is due to
sales volume increases. Fiscal 1994 gross profit included the
negative impact of the widespread Midwest flooding on procuring,
transporting, and merchandising operations. We estimate that
costs of approximately $40 million were incurred in the first
quarter of fiscal 1994 due to transportation and plant operation
interruptions.
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased 34
percent to $122 million for the quarter and increased 28 percent
to $222 million for the six months due principally to $11
million and $26 million, respectively, of expenses attributable
to recently acquired operations and to general cost increases,
including increased bad debt, advertising and charitable
contribution expense.
The decrease in other income (expense) for the quarter and six
months resulted primarily from decreased equity in earnings of
non-consolidated affiliates and losses on marketable securities
transactions. These decreases were partially offset by
increased investment income due to higher interest rates.
Income taxes for the quarter and six months increased due to
higher pretax earnings. The Company's effective income tax rate
of 33 percent for both the quarter and six months compares to
rates of 34 and 38 percent for the comparable periods of a year
ago. Excluding the effect of the $14 million non-recurring
income tax charge due to the increase in the statutory federal
income tax rate to 35 percent in the first quarter of fiscal
1994, the effective tax rate for last year's six month period
would have been 34 percent.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During the six months ended December 31, 1994, the Company's
liquidity continued to improve as cash and marketable securities
net of short-term debt increased $127 million to $2.4 billion
and its capital resources were strengthened by a $444 million
increase in net worth to $5.5 billion. The Company's ratio of
long-term liabilities to total capital at December 31, 1994 was
approximately 25 percent.
