                  H.J. HEINZ FINANCE COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES

              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

(1)   On May 3, 2001, H.J. Heinz Company ("Heinz") reorganized its U.S.
      corporate structure and established centers of excellence for the
      management of U.S. trademarks and for U.S. treasury functions. As a
      result, all of the U.S. treasury and 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. As part of the reorganization, substantially all
      assets and liabilities of the U.S. Group, except for finished goods
      inventories, which were retained by Heinz, were contributed to Heinz LP by
      Heinz. In addition, certain assets and liabilities that related to the
      U.S. Group were assumed by Heinz Finance during Fiscal 2002. 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, that are allocated varying income and cash
     distributions in accordance with the Heinz LP agreement. 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. Under the partnership agreement, Heinz Finance
     has the power to control the general partner through majority membership on
     Heinz LP's management board. The minority interest amounts on the October
     30, 2002 and May 1, 2002 balance sheets represent the Class A and General
     Partner limited partnership interest in Heinz LP, and have been adjusted
     for the minority partners' share of income and cash distributions.

(2)   The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of Heinz Finance
      are unaudited. 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. 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. Certain prior year amounts have been
      reclassified in order to conform with the Fiscal 2003 presentation. These
      statements should be read in conjunction with Heinz Finance's consolidated
      and combined financial statements and related notes which appear in
      Heinz's Form 10-K for the year ended May 1, 2002.

(3)   AGREEMENT BETWEEN H.J. HEINZ COMPANY AND DEL MONTE FOODS COMPANY

     On June 13, 2002, Heinz announced that it will transfer to a wholly-owned
     subsidiary ("Spinco") certain assets and liabilities of its U.S. pet food
     and pet snacks, U.S. tuna, U.S. retail private label soup and private label
     gravy, College Inn(R) broths and U.S. infant feeding businesses, all of
     which are owned by Heinz Finance, and distribute all of the shares of
     Spinco common stock on a pro rata basis to its shareholders. Immediately
     thereafter, Spinco will merge with a wholly-owned subsidiary of Del Monte
     Foods Company ("Del Monte") resulting in Spinco becoming a wholly-owned
     subsidiary of Del Monte ("the Merger"). In connection

                                        5


     with the Merger, each share of Spinco common stock will be automatically
     converted into shares of Del Monte common stock that will result in the
     fully diluted Del Monte common stock at the effective time of the Merger
     being held approximately 74.5% by Heinz shareholders and approximately
     25.5% by the Del Monte stockholders. As a result of the transaction, Heinz
     Finance will receive approximately $1.1 billion in cash that will be used
     to retire debt.

     Included in the transaction will be the following brands: StarKist(R),
     9-Lives(R), Kibbles 'n Bits(R), Pup-Peroni(R), Snausages(R), Nawsomes(R),
     Heinz Nature's Goodness(R) baby food and College Inn(R) broths. The
     following is a summary of the Fiscal 2003 and Fiscal 2002 second quarter
     and first half operating results of the businesses to be spun off (See
     Exhibit 99(d) for a discussion of results of operations and the Combined
     Financial Statements of SKF Foods (Spinco) for the three and six months
     ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001):

</Table>

     The Merger, which has been approved by the Boards of Directors of Heinz and
     Del Monte, is subject to the approval by the stockholders of Del Monte and
     it's expected that the transaction could close as early as December 20,
     2002. Heinz received on November 21, 2002, a private letter ruling from the
     Internal Revenue Service that the contribution of the assets and
     liabilities to Spinco and the distribution of the shares of common stock of
     Spinco to Heinz shareholders will be tax-free to Heinz, Spinco and the
     shareholders of Heinz. The Merger is also subject to other customary
     closing conditions.

     During the three and six months ended October 30, 2002, Heinz Finance
     recognized transaction related costs totaling $1.9 million pretax.

(4)   INVENTORIES

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

</Table>

(5)   TAXES

     The provision for income taxes consists of provisions for federal and state
     income taxes. The low effective tax rate for Heinz Finance is a result of
     Heinz Finance's nontaxable minority interest in Heinz LP.

(6)   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).

                                        6


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

</Table>

     During the first six months of Fiscal 2003, Heinz Finance utilized $1.0
     million of severance and exit cost accruals, principally related to its
     overhead reduction plan.

(7)   RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     During the fourth quarter of Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance adopted Emerging
     Issues Task Force ("EITF") statements relating to the classification of
     vendor consideration and certain sales incentives. The adoption of these
     EITF statements has no impact on operating income or net earnings; however,
     revenues and gross profit were reduced by approximately $96.0 million and
     $160.5 million in the quarter and six months ended October 31, 2001,
     respectively. Prior period data has been reclassified to conform to the
     current year presentation.

     Heinz Finance adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS")
     No. 141, "Business Combinations" which requires that the purchase method of
     accounting be applied to all business combinations after June 30, 2001.
     SFAS No. 141 also established criteria for recognition of intangible assets
     and goodwill. Effective May 2, 2002, Heinz Finance adopted SFAS No. 142
     "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." Under this standard, goodwill and
     intangibles with indefinite useful lives are no longer amortized. This
     Standard also requires, at a minimum, an annual assessment of the carrying
     value of goodwill and intangibles with indefinite useful lives. The
     reassessment of intangible assets, including the ongoing impact of
     amortization, and the assignment of goodwill to reporting units was
     completed during the first quarter of Fiscal 2003.

     Heinz Finance completed its transitional goodwill impairment tests during
     the second quarter of Fiscal 2003. The SFAS No. 142 goodwill impairment
     model is a two-step process. The first step compares the fair value of a
     reporting unit (one level below Heinz Finance's operating segments) that
     has goodwill assigned to it, to its carrying value. Heinz Finance estimates
     the fair value of a reporting unit using discounted cash flows, using a
     risk-adjusted weighted average cost of capital for the business as the
     discount rate. If the fair value of the reporting unit is determined to be
     less than its carrying value, a second step is performed to compute the
     amount of goodwill impairment, if any. Step two allocates the fair value of
     the reporting unit to the reporting unit's net assets other than goodwill.
     The excess of the fair value of the reporting unit over the amounts
     assigned to its net assets other than goodwill is considered

                                        7


     the implied fair value of the reporting unit's goodwill. The implied fair
     value of the reporting unit's goodwill is then compared to the carrying
     value of its goodwill. Any shortfall represents the amount of the goodwill
     impairment. No impairment issues were identified as a result of completing
     these transitional impairment tests.

     The effects of adopting the new standards on net income are as follows:

     Net income for the quarter and six months ended October 31, 2001 would have
     been $16,233 and $32,408, respectively, and net income for Fiscal 2002
     would have been $75,079 had the provisions of the new standards been
     applied as of May 3, 2001.

     Changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the six months ended October
     30, 2002 by reportable segment are as follows:

     Amortization expense for trademarks and other intangible assets subject to
     amortization was $3.3 million and $5.8 million for the quarter and six
     months ended October 30, 2002, respectively. Based upon the amortizable
     intangible assets recorded on the balance sheet at October 30, 2002,
     amortization expense for each of the next five years is estimated to be
     approximately $12.0 million.

     Intangible assets not subject to amortization at October 30, 2002 and May
     1, 2002, were $91.1 million and consisted solely of trademarks.

     Effective May 2, 2002, Heinz Finance adopted SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for
     the Impairment of Disposal of Long-Lived Assets." This statement provides
     updated guidance concerning the

                                        8


     recognition and measurement of an impairment loss for certain types of
     long-lived assets, expands the scope of a discontinued operation to include
     a component of an entity and eliminates the current exemption to
     consolidation when control over a subsidiary is likely to be temporary. The
     adoption of this new standard did not have a material impact on Heinz
     Finance's financial position, results of operations or cash flows for the
     quarter and six months ended October 30, 2002.

(8)   RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     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 Heinz Finance in Fiscal 2004. Heinz Finance does
     not expect that the adoption of this standard will have a significant
     impact on the consolidated financial statements.

     In June 2002, the FASB approved SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs
     Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 addresses
     financial accounting and reporting for costs associated with exit or
     disposal activities. This Statement requires that a liability for a cost
     associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized when the
     liability is incurred. This Statement also establishes that fair value is
     the objective for initial measurement of the liability. The provisions of
     SFAS No. 146 are effective for exit or disposal activities that are
     initiated after December 31, 2002.

(9)   RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

     Employee Costs

     Certain of Heinz's general and administrative expenses are charged to Heinz
     Finance. 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 $81.3 million and $82.9 million for
     the quarter ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively, and
     $168.2 million and $164.8 million for the six months ended October 30, 2002
     and October 31, 2001, respectively. These costs are recorded as cost of
     products sold and selling, general and administrative ("SG&A") expense in
     the accompanying consolidated 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 $18.0 million and $17.3 million for the
     quarter ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively, and
     $36.2 million and $32.7 million for the six months ended October 30, 2002
     and October 31, 2001, respectively, and are recorded in SG&A expense in the
     accompanying consolidated statements of income.

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

     Cash Management

     Beginning in Fiscal 2002, Heinz Finance became the treasury center for cash
     management and debt financing for all of Heinz's domestic operations. In
     addition, in Fiscal 2003, Heinz Finance entered into a number of short-term
     notes payable with foreign wholly-owned subsidiaries of Heinz, for a total
     of $510.8 million. These two events resulted in the $1,014.5 million and
     $788.9 million of net short-term notes receivable with related parties on
     the October 30,

                                        9


     2002 and May 1, 2002, respectively, condensed consolidated balance sheets.
     An average interest rate of 1.93% and 3.72% was charged on these notes
     resulting in $4.8 million and $9.6 million of interest income for the
     quarter ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively, and $8.7
     million and $20.6 million of interest income for the six months ended
     October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively, on the consolidated
     statements of income.

     Product Sales and Purchases

     Heinz Finance sells and purchases products and services to and from other
     Heinz affiliates. The result of related party transactions is the $44.1
     million and $72.8 million balances due from related parties as of October
     30, 2002 and May 1, 2002, respectively, and the $126.2 million and $154.0
     million balances for accounts payable to related parties as of October 30,
     2002 and May 1, 2002, respectively. Product sales to related parties were
     $13.7 million and $11.9 million for the quarter ended October 30, 2002 and
     October 31, 2001, respectively, and $26.2 million and $24.2 million in the
     six months ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively, and
     purchases from related parties were $96.4 million and $94.3 million for the
     quarter ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively, and
     $216.5 million and $165.1 million in the six months ended October 30, 2002
     and October 31, 2001, respectively.

     Other Related Party Items

     Heinz Finance sold undivided interests in certain accounts receivable to a
     Heinz affiliate, Receivables Servicing Company ("RSC"). Heinz Finance sold
     $619.2 million of receivables net of discount expense of $2.8 million for
     the year ended May 1, 2002, to RSC. These sales were reflected as
     reductions of trade accounts receivable. Heinz Finance's contract with RSC
     terminated in December 2001.

     Heinz Finance holds $1.9 billion of non-voting, 6.5% cumulative
     non-participating preferred stock of PM Holding, Inc. ("PM Holding"), a
     subsidiary of Heinz. This dividend amounted to $30.8 million and $30.6
     million for the quarter ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001,
     respectively and $61.6 million and $69.1 million for the six months ended
     October 30, 2002, and October 31, 2001, respectively. This preferred stock
     investment is recorded in the Investments in related parties balance on the
     condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 30, 2002 and May 1,
     2002.

     Heinz Finance paid royalties of $53.8 million and $46.5 million for the
     quarter ended October 30, 2002 and October 31, 2001, respectively, and
     $98.7 million and $69.6 million for the six months ended October 30, 2002
     and October 31, 2001, respectively, to Promark International, Inc., an
     indirect subsidiary of Heinz, for the use of certain trademarks.

     The $35.0 million long-term note receivable from related parties recorded
     on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of October 30,
     2002 and May 1, 2002, relates to a receivable from Heinz that was
     contributed to Heinz Finance in exchange for common stock of Heinz Finance.

     Heinz Finance received an administrative fee from Heinz for acting as the
     agent in the sale of the retained inventory discussed in Note (1). This fee
     was $0.8 million for the quarter ended October 31, 2001 and $10.4 million
     for the six months ended October 31, 2001, which is recorded as income in
     SG&A expense in the accompanying consolidated statement of income.

(10) SEGMENTS

     Heinz Finance has changed its segment reporting for its business to reflect
     changes in organizational structure and management. Heinz Finance is
     reporting and grouping the results of certain businesses under a new
     segment designated SKF Foods. SKF Foods consists of Heinz Finance's U.S.
     pet food and pet snacks, U.S. tuna, U.S. retail private label soup and
                                        10


     private label gravy, College Inn broth and U.S. infant feeding businesses.
     SKF Foods also includes the former U.S. Pet Products and Seafood segment.
     These businesses have been separated from the remaining Heinz Finance
     businesses in preparation for their spin-off and subsequent merger with Del
     Monte Corporation, a subsidiary of Del Monte Foods Company. The remaining
     Heinz North America segment now includes the following businesses that will
     be retained by Heinz Finance following the Del Monte transaction,
     including: ketchup, condiments, sauces, and pasta meals sold to the grocery
     and foodservice channels in the U.S.

     Descriptions of Heinz Finance's reportable segments are as follows:

     - Heinz North America -- This segment manufactures, markets and sells
       ketchup, condiments, sauces and pasta meals to the U.S. grocery and
       foodservice channels.

     - SKF Foods -- This segment includes the U.S. pet food and pet snacks, U.S.
       tuna, U.S. retail private label soup and private label gravy, College Inn
       broth and U.S. infant feeding businesses.

     - U.S. Frozen -- This segment manufactures, markets and sells frozen
       potatoes, entrees, snacks and appetizers.

     Heinz Finance's management evaluates performance based on several factors
     including net sales and the use of capital resources; however, the primary
     measurement focus is operating income excluding unusual costs and gains.
     Intersegment sales are accounted for at current market values. Items below
     the operating income line of the consolidated statements of income are not
     presented by segment, since they are excluded from the measure of segment
     profitability reviewed by Heinz Finance's management.

     segments:

(12) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

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

     FOREIGN CURRENCY HEDGING: Heinz Finance may hedge specific foreign currency
     cash flows associated with foreign-currency-denominated financial assets
     and liabilities. These hedges are accounted for as cash flow hedges.

     COMMODITY PRICE HEDGING: Heinz Finance uses commodity futures, swaps 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 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.

     HEDGE INEFFECTIVENESS: During the six months ended October 30, 2002, hedge
     ineffectiveness related to cash flow hedges was a net gain of $0.1 million
     which is reported in the consolidated statements of income as other
     expenses, net.

     DEFERRED HEDGING GAINS AND LOSSES: As of October 30, 2002, Heinz Finance is
     hedging forecasted transactions for periods not exceeding 12 months, and
     expects $2.8 million of net deferred gain reported in accumulated other
     comprehensive income to be reclassified to earnings within that time frame.
