                  H.J. HEINZ FINANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

                      NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED AND
                         COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1)   On May 3, 2001, H.J. Heinz Company ("Heinz") reorganized its U.S.
      corporate structure and established two primary companies for the
      management of U.S. trademarks and for U.S. treasury functions. As a
      result, all of the business operations of Heinz's domestic operations
      ("the U.S. Group") are now being conducted by H.J. Heinz Finance Company
      and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and H.J. Heinz Company, L.P. ("Heinz
      LP") collectively referred to as "Heinz Finance" in the accompanying
      notes. H.J. Heinz Finance Company has limited partnership interests in
      Heinz LP. H.J. Heinz Finance Company assumed primary liability for
      approximately $2.9 billion of Heinz's outstanding senior unsecured debt
      and accrued interest by becoming co-obligor with Heinz.

     Heinz LP owns or leases the operating assets involved in manufacturing
     throughout the United States which were contributed by Heinz and its
     subsidiaries, together with other assets and liabilities, to Heinz LP and
     manages the business. Heinz LP has two classes of limited partnership
     interests, Class A and Class B. H.J. Heinz Finance Company, directly and
     through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns the Class B interests. Heinz,
     directly and through wholly-owned subsidiaries, owns the Class A interests.
     Heinz Management Company, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Heinz, is the
     managing General Partner of Heinz LP and employs the salaried personnel of
     the U.S. Group. The minority interest amount on the January 30, 2002
     statement of income and balance sheet represents the Class A and General
     Partner interests in Heinz LP.

     The preparation of the January 31, 2001 and May 2, 2001 financial
     statements include the use of "carve out" and "push down" accounting
     procedures wherein certain assets, liabilities and expenses historically
     recorded or incurred at the parent company level or an affiliate of Heinz,
     which related to or were incurred on behalf of the U.S. Group, have been
     identified and allocated or pushed down as appropriate to reflect results
     of the U.S. Group for the periods presented. See Note (9), for a further
     discussion regarding Heinz parent company costs.

     As a result of finalizing the reorganization, certain assets and
     liabilities which are included in the May 2, 2001 "carve out" balance
     sheet, were not contributed to Heinz Finance. Substantially all finished
     goods inventories of the U.S. Group remained assets of Heinz and were not
     contributed to Heinz LP. These retained inventories result in reduced sales
     and operating results in Fiscal 2002 when compared to Fiscal 2001.

(2)   The results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
      results to be expected for the full fiscal year due to the seasonal nature
      of the business of Heinz Finance. In the opinion of management, all
      adjustments which are of a normal and recurring nature, necessary for a
      fair statement of the results of operations of these interim periods have
      been included.

                                        5


(3)   INVENTORIES

     The composition of inventories at the balance sheet dates was as follows:

                                                             $783,917      $655,170

</Table>

(4)   TAXES

     The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal and state
     income taxes. The tax provision in the January 30, 2002 financial
     statements declined significantly since Heinz Finance has no tax obligation
     on the minority partners' interest in Heinz LP's income.

(5)   RESTRUCTURING

     In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001, Heinz announced a restructuring
     initiative named "Streamline" which includes an organizational
     restructuring aimed at reducing overhead costs and the consolidation of
     Heinz Finance's canned pet food production to Bloomsburg, Pennsylvania
     (which resulted in ceasing canned pet food production at Heinz Finance's
     Terminal Island, California facility).

     The major components of the restructuring charge and implementation costs
     and the remaining accrual balances as of January 30, 2002 were as follows:

</Table>

     During the first nine months of Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance incurred
     implementation costs totaling $1.2 million pretax, which consisted of
     incremental costs directly related to the implementation of the Streamline
     initiative. Pretax charges of $1.1 million were classified as cost of
     products sold and $0.1 million as selling, general and administrative
     expenses ("SG&A"). In addition, Heinz Management Company, a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Heinz, assumed a portion of the Heinz Finance's restructuring
     liability as a result of the realignment that occurred on May 3, 2001.

     During the first nine months of Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance utilized $11.0
     million of severance and exit cost accruals, principally for ceasing canned
     pet food production in its Terminal Island, California facility and its
     overhead reduction plan.

(6)   ACQUISITIONS

     During the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance acquired Anchor
     Food Products branded retail business which includes the retail licensing
     rights to the T.G.I. Friday's brand

                                        6


     of frozen snacks and appetizers and the Poppers brand of retail appetizer
     lines. Also during the second quarter of Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance
     completed the acquisition of Delimex Holdings, Inc., a leading maker of
     frozen Mexican food products. Delimex is a leading U.S. producer of frozen
     taquitos, tightly rolled fried corn and flour tortillas with fillings such
     as beef, chicken or cheese. Delimex also makes quesadillas, tamales and
     rice bowls.

     During the first quarter of Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance completed the
     acquisition of Borden Food Corporation's pasta sauce, dry bouillon and soup
     business. Under this transaction, Heinz Finance acquired such brands as
     Classico pasta sauces, Aunt Millie's pasta sauce, Mrs. Grass Recipe soups
     and Wyler's bouillons and soups. Heinz Finance also made a smaller
     acquisition.

     The above acquisitions have been accounted for as purchases and,
     accordingly, the respective purchase prices have been allocated to the
     respective assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as
     of the acquisition dates. Final allocations of the purchase prices are not
     expected to differ significantly from the preliminary allocations.
     Operating results of the businesses acquired have been included in the
     consolidated and combined statements of income from the respective
     acquisition dates forward.

     Pro forma results of Heinz Finance, assuming all of the acquisitions had
     been made at the beginning of each period presented, would not be
     materially different from the results reported.

(7)   RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In Fiscal 2001, Heinz Finance changed its method of accounting for revenue
     recognition in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin (SAB) 101,
     "Revenue Recognition in Financial Statements." Under the new accounting
     method, adopted retroactive to May 4, 2000, Heinz Finance recognizes
     revenue upon the passage of title, ownership and risk of loss to the
     customer. The cumulative effect adjustment of $4.8 million in net income as
     of May 4, 2000 was recognized during the first quarter of Fiscal 2001. The
     Fiscal 2001 nine months amounts include the effect of the change in
     accounting for revenue recognition.

(8)   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In September 2000, the FASB Emerging Issues Task Force (the "EITF") issued
     new guidelines entitled "Accounting for Consideration from a Vendor to a
     Retailer in Connection with the Purchase or Promotion of the Vendor's
     Products". In addition, during May 2000, the EITF issued new guidelines
     entitled "Accounting for Certain Sales Incentives". Both of these issues
     provide guidance primarily on income statement classification of
     consideration from a vendor to a purchaser of the vendor's products,
     including both customers and consumers. Generally, cash consideration is to
     be classified as a reduction of revenue, unless specific criteria are met
     regarding goods or services that the vendor may receive in return for this
     consideration.

     In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance will reclassify
     promotional payments to its customers and the cost of consumer coupons and
     other cash redemption offers from SG&A to net sales. Heinz Finance is
     currently assessing the combined impact of both issues, however, we believe
     that, based on historic information, sales could be reduced up to 7 to 8%.
     SG&A will be correspondingly reduced such that net earnings will not be
     affected.

     In June 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141 "Business Combinations" and SFAS
     No. 142 "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets". These standards require
     that all business combinations be accounted for using the purchase method
     and that goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite useful lives should
     not be amortized but should be tested for impairment at least annually, and
     they provide guidelines for new disclosure requirements. These standards
     outline the criteria for initial recognition and measurement of
     intangibles, assignment of assets and liabilities including goodwill to
     reporting units and goodwill impairment testing.

                                        7


     The provisions of SFAS Nos. 141 and 142 apply to all business combinations
     after June 30, 2001. Heinz Finance has not fully assessed the potential
     impact of the adoption of SFAS No. 142 which is effective for Heinz Finance
     in Fiscal 2003. The reassessment of intangible assets, including the
     ongoing impact of amortization, must be completed during the first quarter
     of Fiscal 2003. The assignment of goodwill to reporting units, along with
     completion of the first step of the transitional goodwill impairment tests,
     must be completed during the first six months of Fiscal 2003.

     In June 2001, the FASB approved SFAS No. 143, "Accounting for Asset
     Retirement Obligations." SFAS No. 143 addresses accounting for legal
     obligations associated with the retirement of long-lived assets that result
     from the acquisition, construction, development and the normal operation of
     a long-lived asset, except for certain obligations of lessees. This
     standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after June 15, 2002. Heinz
     Finance does not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a
     significant impact on the consolidated financial statements.

     In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144 "Accounting for the
     Impairment or Disposal of Long-lived Assets." SFAS No. 144 clarifies and
     revises existing guidance on accounting for impairment of plant, property,
     and equipment, amortized intangibles, and other long-lived assets not
     specifically addressed in other accounting literature. This standard will
     be effective for Heinz Finance beginning in Fiscal 2003. Heinz Finance does
     not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant
     impact on the consolidated financial statements.

(9)   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Employee Costs

     Certain of Heinz's general and administrative expenses are allocated to
     Heinz Finance. In Fiscal 2001, total costs allocated include charges for
     salaries of corporate officers and staff and other Heinz corporate
     overhead. In Fiscal 2002, these costs primarily include a management charge
     of all salaried employee costs from the Heinz Management Company. Total
     costs charged to Heinz Finance for these services were $87.8 million and
     $7.9 million for the quarters ended January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001,
     respectively, and $252.6 million and $20.5 million for the nine months
     ended January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001, respectively. These costs are
     recorded as cost of products sold and SG&A expense in the accompanying
     consolidated and combined statements of income.

     Heinz charges Heinz Finance for its share of group health insurance costs
     for eligible company employees based upon location-specific costs, overall
     insurance costs and loss experience incurred during a calendar year. In
     addition, various other insurance coverages are also provided to Heinz
     Finance through Heinz's consolidated programs. Workers compensation, auto,
     property, product liability and other insurance coverages are charged
     directly based on Heinz Finance's loss experience. Amounts charged to Heinz
     Finance for insurance costs were $13.1 million and $20.6 million for the
     quarter ended January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001, respectively, and
     $45.8 million and $60.7 million for the nine months ended January 30, 2002
     and January 31, 2001, respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expense in the
     accompanying consolidated and combined statements of income.

     Pension costs and postretirement costs are also charged to Heinz Finance
     based upon eligible employees participating in the Plans.

     Cash Management

     In Fiscal 2001, the U.S. Group maintained a cash management arrangement
     with Heinz. On a daily basis, all available cash was deposited and
     disbursements were withdrawn. Heinz charged (credited) the U.S. Group's
     interest on the average daily balance maintained in the resulting
     intercompany account. Net interest expense related to this arrangement,
     included in the combined statements of income was $8.7 million for the
     quarter ended January 31,

                                        8


     2001 and $9.3 million for the nine months ended January 31, 2001. The
     interest rate charged to or received by the U.S. Group was 6.83% for the
     nine months ended January 31, 2001.

     Beginning in Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance became the treasury center for cash
     management and debt financing for all of Heinz's domestic operations
     resulting in the $894.8 million of short-term notes receivable with related
     parties on the January 30, 2002 condensed consolidated balance sheet. An
     average interest rate of 3.21% was charged on these notes resulting in $6.9
     million of interest income for the quarter ended January 30, 2002 and $27.5
     million of interest income for the nine months ended January 30, 2002.

     Product sales and purchases

     Heinz Finance sells and purchases products and services to and from other
     Heinz affiliates. The results of such transactions are the $187.4 million
     and $75.4 million balances due from related parties as of January 30, 2002
     and May 2, 2001, respectively, and the $229.9 million and $96.2 million
     balances due to related parties as of January 30, 2002 and May 2, 2001,
     respectively. Sales to related parties were $13.4 million and $16.1 million
     for the quarter ended January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001, respectively,
     and $37.6 million and $50.3 million in the nine months ended January 30,
     2002 and January 31, 2001, respectively, and purchases from related parties
     were $93.7 million and $97.8 million for the quarter ended January 30, 2002
     and January 31, 2001, respectively, and $258.7 million and $338.4 million
     in the nine months ended January 30, 2002 and January 31, 2001,
     respectively.

     Other related party items

     Heinz Finance sells undivided interests in certain accounts receivable to a
     Heinz affiliate, Receivables Servicing Company ("RSC"). Heinz Finance sold
     $619.2 million and $1,291.0 million of receivables net of discount expense
     of $2.8 million and $9.4 million for the nine months ended January 30, 2002
     and the year ended May 2, 2001, respectively, to RSC. As of January 30,
     2002 and May 2, 2001, respectively, Heinz Finance had $-0- and $126.9
     million of receivables sold to RSC. These sales were reflected as
     reductions of trade accounts receivable. Heinz Finance's contract with RSC
     terminated in December 2001.

     Until the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001, Heinz Finance had outstanding
     notes receivable from Heinz affiliates which were used for working capital
     purposes and to fund acquisitions. The short-term notes had interest rates
     ranging from 6.50% to 7.00%. The long-term notes had interest rates ranging
     from 6.75% to 7.50% with a maturity of May 2003. Interest income earned by
     Heinz Finance related to these receivables was $33.0 million for the
     quarter ended January 31, 2001 and $90.7 million for the nine months ended
     January 31, 2001. In the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2001, these notes
     receivable from related parties were exchanged by Heinz Finance with a
     subsidiary of Heinz, PM Holding, Inc. ("PM Holding"), for $1.9 billion of
     non-voting, 6.5% cumulative non-participating preferred stock of PM
     Holding. This dividend amounted to $30.8 million for the quarter ended
     January 30, 2002 and $99.9 million for the first nine months of Fiscal
     2002. This preferred stock investment is recorded in the Investments in
     related parties balance on the condensed consolidated and combined balance

     of Heinz, for the use of trademarks.

     The $35.0 million long-term note receivable from related parties recorded
     on the accompanying condensed consolidated and combined balance sheets
     relates to a receivable from Heinz that was contributed to Heinz Finance in

     agreement which expired on September 6, 2001. As of January 30, 2002, $1.38

(13) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

     Heinz Finance utilizes certain financial instruments to manage its
     commodity price and interest rate exposures.

     COMMODITY PRICE HEDGING: Heinz Finance uses commodity futures and options
     in order to reduce price risk associated with anticipated purchases of raw
     materials such as corn, soybean oil and soybean meal. Commodity price risk
     arises due to factors such as weather

                                        10


     conditions, government regulations, economic climate and other unforeseen
     circumstances. Hedges of anticipated commodity purchases which meet the
     criteria for hedge accounting are designated as cash flow hedges.

     INTEREST RATE HEDGING: Heinz Finance uses interest rate swaps to manage
     interest rate exposure. These derivatives are designated as cash flow
     hedges or fair value hedges depending on the nature of the particular risk
     being hedged.

     During Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance entered into interest rate swap
     agreements to convert the interest rate exposure on certain of Heinz
     Finance's existing long-term debt from fixed to floating. The weighted
     average fixed rate of the associated debt is 6.433%. The aggregate notional
     amount of these swaps is $1.3 billion and their average duration is 12
     years.

     HEDGE INEFFECTIVENESS: During the nine months ended January 30, 2002, hedge
     ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges was immaterial.

     DEFERRED HEDGING GAINS AND LOSSES: As of January 30, 2002, Heinz Finance is
     hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding 12 months, and
     expects $0.2 million of net deferred loss reported in accumulated other
     comprehensive income to be reclassified to earnings within that time frame.

(14) SUBSEQUENT EVENT

     On March 7, 2002, Heinz Finance issued $700 million of 6.00% Guaranteed
     Notes due March 15, 2012 and $550 million of 6.75% Guaranteed Notes due
     March 15, 2032, which are guaranteed by Heinz. The proceeds will be used to
     retire commercial paper borrowings. Heinz Finance converted $750 million of
     the new debt from fixed to floating through interest rate swap agreements.
