PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
Sysco Corporation (together with its subsidiaries and divisions hereinafter
referred to as "SYSCO" or the "Company") is engaged in the marketing and
distribution of a wide range of food and related products to the foodservice or
"away-from-home-eating" industry. The foodservice industry consists of two
major customer segments -- "traditional" and "chain restaurants". Traditional
foodservice customers include restaurants, hospitals, schools, hotels and
industrial caterers. SYSCO's chain restaurant customers include regional pizza
and French-style bakery operations and national hamburger, chicken and steak
chain operations.
Services to the Company's traditional foodservice and chain restaurant
customers are supported by similar physical facilities, vehicles, materials
handling equipment and techniques, and marketing, merchandising and operating
staffs.
CUSTOMERS AND PRODUCTS
The traditional foodservice segment includes businesses and organizations which
prepare and serve food to be eaten away from home. Products distributed by the
Company include a full line of frozen foods, such as frozen meats, fully
prepared frozen entrees, frozen fruits, vegetables and desserts, and a full
line of canned and dry goods. In addition, SYSCO's broader line of product
offerings includes such items as fresh meat, imported specialties and fresh
produce. The Company also supplies a wide variety of nonfood items, including
paper products such as disposable napkins, plates and cups; tableware such as
china and silverware; restaurant and kitchen equipment and supplies;
medical/surgical supplies; and cleaning supplies. SYSCO distributes both
nationally-branded merchandise and products packaged under its own private
brands.
The Company believes that prompt and accurate delivery of orders, close contact
with customers and the ability to provide a full array of products and services
to assist customers in their foodservice operations are of primary importance
in the marketing and distribution of products to the foodservice industry.
SYSCO offers daily delivery to certain customer locations and has the
capability of delivering special orders on short notice. Through its more than
8,100 sales, marketing and service representatives, the Company keeps informed
as to its customers' needs and acquaints them with new products. SYSCO also
provides ancillary services relating to its foodservice distribution such as
providing customers with product usage reports and other data, menu-planning
advice, contract services for installing kitchen equipment, installation and
service of beverage dispensing machines and assistance in inventory control.
No single traditional foodservice customer accounted for as much as 3% of
SYSCO's sales for its fiscal year ended July 2, 1994. Approximately 5% of
traditional foodservice sales during fiscal 1994 resulted from a process of
competitive bidding. There are no
1
3
material long-term contracts with any traditional foodservice customer that may
not be cancelled by either party at its option.
The Company's SYGMA Network operations specialize in customized service to
chain restaurants, which service is also provided to a lesser extent by many of
the Company's traditional foodservice operations. SYSCO's sales to the chain
restaurant industry consist of a variety of food products necessitated by the
increasingly broad menus of chain restaurants. The Company believes that
consistent product quality and timely and accurate service are important
factors in the selection of a chain restaurant supplier. No chain restaurant
customer accounted for as much as 3% of SYSCO's sales for its fiscal year ended
July 2, 1994, and there are no material long-term contracts with any chain
restaurant customer that may not be cancelled by either party at its option.
SYSCO does not record sales on the basis of the type of foodservice industry
customer, but based upon available information, the Company estimates that
sales by type of customer during the past three fiscal years were as follows:
Fiscal Fiscal Fiscal
Type of Customer 1994 1993 1992
---------------- ------ ------ ------
Restaurants 60% 60% 60%
Hospitals and nursing homes 13 13 13
Schools and colleges 7 7 8
Hotels and motels 6 6 6
Other 14 14 13
--- --- ---
Totals 100% 100% 100%
=== === ===
SOURCES OF SUPPLY
SYSCO estimates that it purchases from thousands of independent sources, none
of which represents the source of more than 5% of the Company's purchases.
These sources of supply consist generally of large corporations selling brand
name and private label merchandise and independent private label processors and
packers. Generally, purchasing is carried out on a decentralized basis through
centrally developed purchasing programs (see "Corporate Headquarters' Services
and Controls" below) and direct purchasing programs established by the
Company's various operating subsidiaries and divisions. The Company
continually develops relationships with suppliers but has no material long-term
purchase commitments with any supplier.
ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES
Since its formation as a Delaware corporation in 1969 and commencement of
operations in March 1970, SYSCO has grown both through internal expansion of
existing operations and acquisitions of formerly independent companies. The
shareholders of nine companies exchanged their stock for SYSCO common stock at
the formation of the Company, and through the end of fiscal 1994, fifty-one
companies have been acquired, as follows:

SYSCO sold its Global/Sysco division, its last remaining consumer-sized frozen
food distribution business, in August 1992.
Two companies were acquired in fiscal 1993. Tartan Sysco Food Services, Inc.
(formerly Perloff Brothers, Inc.) of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania is a full-line
foodservice distributor to customers in Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey and
Maryland. Sysco Food Services of St. Louis, Inc. (formerly the St. Louis
Division of Clark Foodservice, Inc.) is a full-line foodservice distributor to
customers in St. Louis, Missouri and surrounding communities.
On August 20, 1993 SYSCO purchased Ritter Sysco Food Services, Inc. (formerly
Ritter Food Corporation) of Elizabeth, New Jersey, a full-line foodservice
distributor to customers in New Jersey, metropolitan New York, western
Connecticut and the Philadelphia, Pennsylvania area.
CORPORATE HEADQUARTERS' SERVICES AND CONTROLS
SYSCO's corporate staff, currently consisting of approximately 690 persons,
provides a number of services to the Company's operating divisions and
subsidiaries. These persons possess experience and expertise in, among other
areas, accounting and finance, cash management, data processing, employee
benefits, engineering and insurance. Also provided are legal, marketing and
tax compliance services as well as warehousing and distribution services which
provide assistance in space utilization, energy conservation, fleet management
and work flow.
The corporate staff also administers a consolidated product procurement program
engaged in the task of developing, obtaining and assuring consistent quality
food and nonfood products. The program covers the purchasing and marketing of
SYSCO (R) Brand merchandise, as well as private label and national brand
merchandise, encompassing substantially all product lines. The Company's
operating subsidiaries and divisions may participate in the program at their
option.
CAPITAL IMPROVEMENTS
To maximize productivity and customer service, the Company continues to
construct and modernize its distribution facilities where the appropriate
return on investment is projected. During fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992,
approximately $161,000,000, $128,000,000 and $134,000,000, respectively, were
invested in facility expansions, fleet additions and other capital asset
enhancements. The Company estimates its capital expenditures in fiscal 1995
should be in the range of $150,000,000 to $200,000,000. During the three years
ended July 2, 1994, capital expenditures have been financed primarily by
internally generated funds and bank borrowings.
EMPLOYEES
As of July 2, 1994, the Company had approximately 26,200 employees, 21.9% of
whom are represented by unions, primarily the International Brotherhood of
Teamsters.
4
6
Contract negotiations are handled locally with monitoring and assistance by the
corporate staff. Collective bargaining agreements covering approximately 12% of
the Company's union employees expire during fiscal 1995. SYSCO considers its
labor relations to be satisfactory.
COMPETITION
The business of SYSCO is competitive with numerous companies engaged in
foodservice distribution. While competition is encountered primarily from
local and regional distributors, a few companies compete with SYSCO on a
national basis.
The Company believes that, although price and customer contact are important
considerations, the principal competitive factor in the foodservice industry is
the ability to deliver a wide range of quality products and related services on
a timely and dependable basis. Although SYSCO has less than 10% of the
foodservice industry market in the United States, SYSCO believes, based upon
industry trade data, that its sales to the "away-from-home-eating" industry are
the largest of any foodservice distributor. While adequate industry statistics
are not available, the Company believes that in most instances its local
operations are among the leading distributors of food and related nonfood
products to foodservice customers in their respective trading areas.
GENERAL
Except for the SYSCO (R) trademark, the Company does not own or have the right
to use any patents, trademarks, licenses, franchises or concessions, the loss
of which would have a materially adverse effect on the operations or earnings
of the Company.
SYSCO is not engaged in material research activities relating to the
development of new products or the improvement of existing products. The
Company is engaged in an internally developed project that involves the
redesign and development of the computer operating systems through which
SYSCO's operating companies will process, control and report the results of all
transactions. The project is approaching completion, with the first
installation scheduled during calendar 1995. The costs of this project will be
amortized over future earnings as completed portions of the project are put
into use.
The Company's distribution facilities have tanks for the storage of diesel fuel
and other petroleum products which are subject to laws regulating such storage
tanks. Other federal, state and local provisions relating to the protection of
the environment or the discharge of materials do not materially impact the
Company's use or operation of its facilities. The Company anticipates that
compliance with these laws will not have a material effect on the capital
expenditures, earnings or competitive position of SYSCO and its subsidiaries.
Sales of the Company do not generally fluctuate on a seasonal basis, and
therefore, the business of the Company is not deemed to be seasonal.
The Company operates 106 facilities within the United States and two in Canada.

The Company owns approximately 208,678,000 cubic feet of its distribution
facilities and self-serve centers (or 85% of the total cubic feet), and the
remainder is occupied under leases expiring at various dates from fiscal 1995
to 2011, exclusive of renewal options. Certain of the facilities owned by the
Company are either subject to mortgage indebtedness or industrial revenue bond
financing arrangements totaling $71,534,000 at July 2, 1994. Such mortgage
indebtedness and industrial revenue bond financing arrangements mature at
various dates.
Facilities in Lincoln, Nebraska; Albuquerque, New Mexico; Harrisburg,
Pennsylvania; San Antonio, Texas; Newark, New Jersey; Atlanta, Georgia;
Jackson, Mississippi; and Louisville, Kentucky (which in the aggregate account
for approximately 13% of total sales) are operating near maximum capacity and
the Company is currently constructing or planning replacements or expansions
for these distribution facilities. During fiscal 1995 the Company is planning
to complete construction of a distribution facility near Hartford, Connecticut
and begin construction of a distribution facility in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
The Company's fleet of approximately 4,500 delivery vehicles consists of
tractor and trailer combinations, vans and panel trucks, most of which are
either wholly or partially refrigerated for the transportation of frozen or
perishable foods. The Company owns approximately 91% of these vehicles and
leases the remainder.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
SYSCO is engaged in various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not
been fully adjudicated. These proceedings, in the opinion of management, will

MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
SYSCO provides marketing and distribution services to foodservice customers
throughout the contiguous United States and western Canada. The company intends
to continually expand its market share through profitable sales growth and
constant emphasis on the development of its consolidated buying programs. The
company also strives to increase the effectiveness of its marketing associates
and the productivity of its warehousing and distribution activities. These
objectives require continuing investment. SYSCO's resources include cash
provided by operations and access to capital from financial markets.
SYSCO has a stock repurchase program which is used primarily to offset
shares issued from time to time in conjunction with various employee benefit
plans and conversions of Liquid Yield Option Notes. The number of shares
acquired and their cost for the past three years was 3,000,000 shares for
$80,131,000 in fiscal 1994, 7,200,000 shares for $180,343,000 in fiscal 1993
and 800,0000 shares for $19,803,000 in fiscal 1992.
SYSCO's operations generate a significant amount of cash which is used
to fund the company's investment in facilities, fleet and other equipment
required to meet its customers' needs and provide for growth. Net cash
generated from operating activities was $282,515,000 in 1994, $257,165,000 in
1993 and $234,552,000 in 1992. Expenditures for facilities, fleet and other
equipment were $161,485,000 in 1994, $127,879,000 in 1993 and $134,290,000 in
1992. Expenditures in fiscal 1995 should be in the range of $150,000,000 to
$200,000,000.
The net cash provided by operations less cash utilized for capital
expenditures, the stock repurchase program, cash dividends and other uses
resulted in long-term debt of $538,711,000 at July 2, 1994. About 47% of the
total long-term debt is at fixed rates averaging 7.98% and 53% was at floating
rates averaging 4.36%. Long-term debt to capitalization is 30% at July 2, 1994,
equal to the 30% at July 3, 1993 and down from the 32% at June 27, 1992. SYSCO
continues to have borrowing capacity available and alternative financing
arrangements are evaluated as appropriate.
SYSCO has a commercial paper program which is currently supported by a
$300,000,000 bank credit facility. During fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992,
commercial paper and bank borrowings ranged from approximately $184,900,000 to
$415,100,000, $87,500,000 to $292,500,000 and $130,000,000 to $380,000,000,
respectively.
In summary, SYSCO believes that through continual monitoring and
management of assets together with the availability of additional capital in
the financial markets, it will meet its cash requirements while maintaining
proper liquidity for normal operating purposes.
SALES
The annual increases in sales of 9% in 1994 and 13% in 1993 result from several
factors. Sales in fiscal 1994 and 1993 were affected by modest growth in the
U.S. economy, as well as in the foodservice industry, and acquisitions.
Excluding the impact of the 53rd week in fiscal 1993, sales increased about
11.5% in fiscal 1994 and about 10% in fiscal 1993. After adjusting for
acquisitions, food price increases and eliminating the sales effect of the 53rd
week in fiscal 1993, real sales growth was about 7% in 1994 and 9% in 1993. The
cost of SYSCO's foodservice products is estimated to have averaged an increase
of about 1.9% from the beginning to the end of fiscal 1994 compared to an
increase of approximately 1.2% in fiscal 1993. Industry sources estimate the
total foodservice market experienced real growth of approximately 2.3% in
calendar 1993 and 1.2% in calendar 1992.

COST OF SALES
Cost of sales increased about 9% in 1994 and 13% in 1993. These increases were
generally in line with the increases in sales. The rate of increase is
influenced by SYSCO's overall customer and product mix as well as economies
realized in product acquisition.
OPERATING EXPENSES
Operating expenses include the costs of warehousing and delivering products as
well as selling and administrative expenses. These expenses as a percent of
sales for the 1994, 1993 and 1992 fiscal years were 14.3%, 14.2% and 14.3%,
respectively. Changes in the percentage relationship of operating expenses to
sales result from an interplay of several economic influences. Inflationary
increases in operating costs generally have been offset through improved
productivity.
12
14
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased $2,732,000 or approximately 7% in fiscal 1994 as
compared to a decrease of $4,271,000 or approximately 10% in fiscal 1993. The
decrease in fiscal 1994 is due primarily to the expiration of the interest rate
swap in December 1993, while the decrease in fiscal 1993 was due to a reduction
in average borrowings. Interest capitalization during the past three years was
$1,313,000 in 1994, $1,315,000 in 1993 and $2,292,000 in 1992.
OTHER INCOME, NET
Other income decreased $381,000 or about 18% in fiscal 1994 and decreased
$4,292,000 or about 67% in fiscal 1993. About one-half of the decrease in
fiscal 1993 resulted from the sale of the last retail distribution company on
August 3, 1992. This company previously had significant income from storage and
handling activities. Other changes between the years result from fluctuations
in miscellaneous activities including gains and losses on the sale of old
facilities.
EARNINGS BEFORE INCOME TAXES
Earnings before income taxes rose $35,605,000 or approximately 11% above fiscal
1993, which had increased $50,321,000 or approximately 18% over the prior year.
Additional sales and realization of operating efficiencies contributed to the
increases.
PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for 1994 was approximately 41% and in 1993 and 1992 was
approximately 39%. In August 1993 the Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993
became effective. This legislation increased the top corporate tax rate from
34% to 35% effective January 1, 1993. Consequently, in the first quarter of
fiscal 1994 SYSCO had a charge to earnings for taxes of $4,900,000 relating to
transactions and events through July 3, 1993. About $3,300,000 of the charge
relates to an increase in deferred taxes and $1,600,000 relates to the
retroactivity of the tax rate increase to January 1, 1993. The effective tax
rate for fiscal 1994, excluding the effect of the $4,900,000 charge, was 40%.
NET EARNINGS
Fiscal 1994 represents the eighteenth consecutive year of increased earnings
for SYSCO. Net earnings for the year rose $14,945,000 or approximately 7% above
fiscal 1993, which had increased $29,578,000 or approximately 17% over the
prior year. Excluding the impact of the extra week in fiscal 1993 and the
increased tax rate in fiscal 1994, net earnings would have increased
approximately 14% in 1994 and approximately 15% in fiscal 1993.
DIVIDENDS
The quarterly dividend rate of nine cents per share was established in November
1993 when it was increased from the seven cents per share set in November 1992.
RETURN ON SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
The return on average shareholders' equity for 1994, 1993 and 1992 was
approximately 18%, 18% and 17%, respectively. Since inception SYSCO has
averaged in excess of a 16% return on shareholders' equity.

REPORT OF MANAGEMENT ON INTERNAL ACCOUNTING CONTROLS
The management of SYSCO is responsible for the preparation and integrity of the
consolidated financial statements of the Company. The accompanying
consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the management of the
Company, in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, using
management's best estimates and judgment where necessary. Financial
information appearing throughout this Annual Report is consistent with that in
the consolidated financial statements.
To help fulfill its responsibility, management maintains a system of internal
controls designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded
against loss or unauthorized use and that transactions are executed in
accordance with management's authorizations and are reflected accurately in the
Company's records. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the
recognition that the cost of maintaining a system of internal accounting
controls should not exceed benefits expected to be derived from the system.
SYSCO believes that its long-standing emphasis on the highest standards of
conduct and ethics, embodied in comprehensive written policies, serves to
reinforce its system of internal controls. The Company's operations review
function monitors the operation of the internal control system and reports
findings and recommendations to management and the Board of Directors. It also
oversees actions taken to address control deficiencies and seeks opportunities
for improving the effectiveness of the system.
Arthur Andersen LLP, independent public accountants, has been engaged to
express an opinion regarding the fair presentation of the Company's financial
condition and operating results. As part of their audit of the Company's
financial statements, Arthur Andersen LLP considered the Company's system of
internal controls to the extent they deemed necessary to determine the nature,
timing and extent of their audit tests.
The Board of Directors oversees the Company's financial reporting through its
Audit Committee which consists entirely of outside directors. The Board, after
a recommendation from the Audit Committee, selects and engages the independent
public accountants annually. The Audit Committee reviews both the scope of the
accountants' audit and recommendations from both the independent public
accountants and the internal operations review function for improvements in
internal controls. The independent public accountants have free access to the
Audit Committee and from time to time confer with them without management
representation.
15
17
SYSCO recognizes its responsibility to conduct business in accordance with high
ethical standards. This responsibility is reflected in a comprehensive code of
business conduct that, among other things, addresses potentially conflicting
outside business interests of Company employees and provides guidance as to the
proper conduct of business activities. Ongoing communications and review
programs are designed to help ensure compliance with this code.
The Company believes that its system of internal controls is effective and
adequate to accomplish the objectives discussed above.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
Board of Directors and Shareholders
Sysco Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Sysco
Corporation (a Delaware corporation) and subsidiaries as of July 2, 1994 and
July 3, 1993, and the related consolidated results of operations, shareholders'
equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended July 2,
1994. These financial statements and the schedules referred to below are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express
an opinion on these financial statements and schedules based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Sysco Corporation
and subsidiaries as of July 2, 1994 and July 3, 1993, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
July 2, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The schedules listed in Item 14(a) are
presented for purposes of complying with the Securities and Exchange
Commission's rules and are not part of the basic financial statements. These
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audits
of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, fairly state in all
material respects the financial data required to be set forth therein in
relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES
BUSINESS AND CONSOLIDATION
SYSCO Corporation (SYSCO) is engaged in the marketing and distribution of a
wide range of food and related products to the foodservice or
"away-from-home-eating" industry. These services are performed from 68
distribution facilities for approximately 245,000 customers located in the 36
states where the facilities are situated and in 12 adjacent states. The
company also has one facility in Vancouver, British Columbia, which provides
services to customers in that area.
The accompanying financial statements include the accounts of SYSCO
and its subsidiaries. All significant intercompany transactions and account
balances have been eliminated. Certain amounts in the prior years have been
reclassified to conform to the 1994 presentation.
Earnings of acquisitions recorded as purchases are included in SYSCO's
results of operations from the date of acquisition.
INVENTORIES
Inventories consist of food and related products held for resale and are
valued at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out method) or market.
PLANT AND EQUIPMENT
Capital additions, improvements and major renewals are classified as plant and
equipment and are carried at cost. Depreciation is recorded using the
straight-line method which reduces the book value of each asset in equal
amounts over its estimated useful life. Maintenance, repairs and minor
renewals are charged to earnings when they are incurred. Upon the disposition
of an asset, its accumulated depreciation is deducted from the original cost,
and any gain or loss is reflected in current earnings.
Applicable interest charges incurred during the construction of new
facilities are capitalized as one of the elements of cost and are amortized
over the assets' estimated useful lives. Interest capitalized during the past
three years was $1,313,000 in 1994, $1,315,000 in 1993 and $2,292,000 in 1992.
GOODWILL AND INTANGIBLES
Goodwill and intangibles represents the excess of cost over the fair value of
tangible net assets acquired and is being amortized over 40 years using the
straight-line method. Accumulated amortization at July 2, 1994, July 3, 1993
and June 27, 1992 is $43,120,000, $35,416,000 and $27,929,000, respectively.
COMPUTER SYSTEMS DEVELOPMENT PROJECT
SYSCO has capitalized direct costs incurred in connection with an internal
computer systems development project. The capitalization of these costs began
once it was reasonably certain that the new system would be completed and
would fulfill its intended use. Costs of $29,658,000, $14,094,000 and
$2,660,000 were capitalized during fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
Amounts capitalized will be amortized over future earnings commencing in fiscal
1995 as completed portions of the project are put into use.
INSURANCE PROGRAM
SYSCO maintains a self-insurance program covering portions of workers'
compensation, general and auto liability costs. The amounts in excess of the
self-insured levels are fully insured. Self-insurance accruals are based on
claims filed and an estimate for significant claims incurred but not reported.
INCOME TAXES
SYSCO follows the liability method for deferred income taxes as required by
the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standard (SFAS) 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes."
CASH FLOW INFORMATION
For cash flow purposes, cash includes cash equivalents such as time deposits,
certificates of deposit and all highly liquid instruments with original
maturities of three months or less.

ADDITIONAL FINANCIAL INFORMATION
INCOME TAXES
The income tax provisions consist of the following:
- - - ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1994 1993 1992
---------------------------------------------------
Federal income taxes $130,733,000 $108,990,000 $91,747,000

------------ ------------ ------------
Total $150,830,000 $130,170,000 $109,427,000
============ ============ ============
Included in the income taxes charged to earnings are net deferred tax
provisions of $23,292,000 in 1994, $13,281,000 in 1993 and $15,521,000 in 1992.
The provisions result from the effects of net changes during the year in
deferred tax assets and liabilities arising from temporary differences between
the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes
and the amounts used for income tax purposes.
Significant components of the company's deferred tax assets and
liabilities are as follows:

The company has enjoyed taxable earnings during each of its twenty-five
year existence and knows of no reason such profitability should not continue.
Consequently, the company believes that it is more likely than not that the
entire benefit of existing temporary differences will be realized and therefore
no valuation allowance has been established for deferred assets.
The effective tax rate was 41% in 1994 and 39% in 1993 and 1992 and an

ALLOWANCE FOR DOUBTFUL ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
The allowance for doubtful accounts receivable was $15,999,000 as of July 2,
1994, $15,122,000 as of July 3, 1993 and $13,673,000 as of June 27, 1992.
Customer accounts written off, net of recoveries were $17,291,000 or .16% of
sales, $13,163,000 or .13% of sales and $14,377,000 or .16% of sales for fiscal
years 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively.
SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY
Earnings per share have been computed by dividing net earnings by 184,338,616
in 1994, 186,745,576 in 1993 and 186,001,381 in 1992, which represents the
weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during those
respective years.
In May 1986, the Board of Directors adopted a Warrant Dividend Plan
designed to protect against those unsolicited attempts to acquire control of
SYSCO that the Board believes are not in the best interest of the shareholders.
The plan, as adjusted, provides for a dividend distribution of one-fourth of
one Preferred Stock Purchase Right (Right) for each outstanding share of SYSCO
common stock. Each Right may be exercised to purchase one one-hundredth of a
share of newly created Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock at an
exercise price of $135, subject to adjustment. The Rights will not be
exercisable until a party either acquires 20% of the company's common stock or
makes a tender offer for 20% or more of its common stock. In the event of a
merger or other business combination transaction, each Right effectively
entitles the holder to purchase $270 worth of stock of the surviving company
for a purchase price of $135.
The Rights expire on May 30, 1996 and may be redeemed before
expiration by the company at a price of $.05 per Right until a party acquires
20% of the company's common stock or thereafter under certain circumstances.
As a result of the Rights distribution, 600,000 of the 1,500,000 authorized
preferred shares have been reserved for issuance as Series A Junior
Participating Preferred Stock.

DEBT
At July 2, 1994 and July 3, 1993 SYSCO had $5,247,000 and $6,609,000,
respectively, of short-term bank borrowings. The level of such borrowings
fluctuates during the year based on working capital requirements.
SYSCO's long-term debt is comprised of the following:
- - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 2, 1994 July 3, 1993
-----------------------------------------
Revolving loan agreement and commercial paper,
interest averaging 4.4% in 1994 and 3.2% in 1993 $ 273,800,000 $ 218,778,000
Senior notes, interest at 9.95%, maturing in 1999 91,500,000 91,500,000
Liquid Yield Option Notes, interest at 6.25%, maturing in 2004 95,653,000 92,614,000

The principal payments required to be made on long-term debt during
the next five years are shown below:
Year Amount

1995 $ 3,730,000
1996 3,324,000
1997 9,547,000
1998 2,611,000
1999 101,610,000
SYSCO has a $300,000,000 revolving loan agreement maturing in 1997
which currently supports the company's commercial paper program. Management
anticipates extending this agreement prior to its maturity date. The
commercial paper borrowings at July 2, 1994 were $273,800,000. The Liquid
Yield Option Notes have no periodic interest payments, will yield 6.25% if held
to maturity, and can be converted into SYSCO common stock at a conversion rate
of 24.512 shares per note. Each note which initially sold for $397.27 has an
accreted value of $531.37 at July 2, 1994.
The Industrial Revenue Bonds have varying structures. Final
maturities range from one to thirty-two years and certain of the bonds provide
SYSCO the right to redeem (a call) at various dates. These call provisions
generally provide the bondholder a premium in the early call years, declining
to par value as the bonds approach maturity. Certain bonds have provisions
whereby the holder may require SYSCO to purchase or redeem the bonds (a put)
under certain circumstances. If certain of these bonds are purchased from
bondholders, they can be remarketed at the then prevailing interest rates.
Long-term debt at July 2, 1994 was $538,711,000, of which 47% is
secured at fixed rates averaging 7.98% with the average life of eight years,
while the remainder is financed at floating rates averaging 4.36%. Certain
loan agreements contain typical covenants to protect noteholders including
provisions to maintain tangible net worth and funded indebtedness at specified
levels.
The fair value of SYSCO's long-term debt is estimated based on the
quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates
offered to the company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair
value of long-term debt approximates $562,000,000 at July 2, 1994. As part of
normal business activities, SYSCO issues letters of credit through major
banking institutions as required by certain vendor and insurance agreements.
As of July 2, 1994, SYSCO had not entered into any significant derivative or
other off-balance-sheet financing arrangements.
LEASES
Although SYSCO normally purchases assets, it has obligations under capital and
operating leases for certain distribution facilities, vehicles and computers.
Total rental expense under operating leases was $31,089,000, $27,506,000 and
$26,759,000 in fiscal 1994, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Contingent rentals,
subleases, assets and obligations under capital leases are not significant.
Aggregate minimum lease payments under existing non-capitalized
long-term leases are as follows:
Year Amount
---- ------
1995 $ 13,487,000
1996 10,253,000
1997 7,176,000

INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLANS
EMPLOYEE INCENTIVE STOCK OPTION PLAN
The Employee Incentive Stock Option Plan adopted in fiscal 1982 provided for
the issuance of options to purchase SYSCO common stock to officers and key
personnel of the company and its subsidiaries at the market price at date of
grant, as adjusted for stock splits. No further grants will be made under this
plan which expired in November 1991 and was replaced by the 1991 Stock Option
Plan.

shares of SYSCO common stock for options to directors, officers and key
personnel of the company and its subsidiaries at the market price at date of
grant. This plan provides for the issuance of options which are qualified as
incentive stock options under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, options which
are not so qualified and stock appreciation rights. To date, the company has
issued stock options but no stock appreciation rights.

EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS
SYSCO and each of its subsidiaries have defined benefit and defined
contribution retirement plans for their employees. Also, the company
contributes to various multi-employer plans under collective bargaining
agreements.
The defined benefit pension plans pay benefits to employees at
retirement using formulas based on a participant's years of service and
compensation. The defined contribution 401(k) plans provide that under certain
circumstances the company may make matching contributions of up to 50% of the
first 6% of a participant's compensation.
The funded status of the defined benefit plans is as follows:
- - - --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
July 2, 1994 July 3, 1993
------------------------------------
Assets available for benefits $ 110,344,000 $ 106,338,000

Assets (less than) projected obligation $ (19,193,000) $ (2,830,000)
=============== ==============
Consisting of:
Amounts to be offset against (charged to) future pension costs
Remaining assets in excess of obligation existing at
adoption of SFAS 87 in 1986 $ 10,313,000 $ 11,493,000
Unrecognized actuarial loss due to differences in
assumptions and actual experience (21,302,000) (11,161,000)
Unrecognized prior service cost 10,011,000 11,194,000
Accrued pension costs (18,215,000) (14,356,000)
--------------- --------------
$ (19,193,000) $ (2,830,000)
=============== ==============
The projected unit credit method was used to determine the actuarial
present value of the accumulated benefit obligation and the projected benefit
obligation. The discount rate used was 7.75% in 1994, 1993 and 1992 and the
rate of increase in future compensation levels used was 5.5% in each year. The
expected long-term rate of return on assets used was 10% in 1994 and 12% in
1993 and 1992. The plans invest primarily in marketable securities and time
deposits.
Net pension costs were as follows:
- - - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1994 1993 1992
--------------------------------------------------
Defined benefit plans
Benefits earned during the year $ 16,866,000 $ 18,410,000 $ 14,584,000

SYSCO also has a Management Incentive Plan that compensates key
management personnel for specific performance achievements. The awards under
this plan were $12,508,000 in 1994, $11,725,000 in 1993 and $8,026,000 in 1992.
In addition to the company's defined benefit plan, participants in the
Management Incentive Plan will receive benefits upon retirement under a
Supplemental Executive Retirement Plan. This plan is a nonqualified,
unfunded supplementary retirement plan for which SYSCO has purchased
life insurance on the
27
29
lives of the participants with carrying values of $33,199,000 at July 2, 1994
and $26,740,000 at July 3, 1993. The company is the sole owner and beneficiary
of such policies. The periodic pension costs of this plan were $3,109,000 in
1994 and $2,996,000 in 1993. The actuarially determined accumulated benefit
obligation for this plan included in accrued expenses was $16,558,000 at July
2, 1994 and $13,898,000 at July 3, 1993. After taking into consideration the
effect of future compensation increases, the projected benefit obligation of
this plan was $23,941,000 at July 2, 1994 and $19,224,000 at July 3, 1993.
SYSCO has an Employees' Stock Purchase Plan which permits employees
(other than directors) who have been employed for at least one year to invest
by means of periodic payroll deductions in SYSCO common stock at 85% of the
closing price on the last business day of each fiscal quarter. During 1994,
579,916 shares of SYSCO common stock were purchased by the participants as
compared to 538,923 purchased in 1993 and 514,392 purchased in 1992. The total
number of shares which may be sold pursuant to the plan may not exceed
12,000,000 shares of which 1,691,079 remained available at July 2, 1994.
At the beginning of fiscal 1994, SYSCO implemented SFAS 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions." This
statement requires that the cost of retiree benefits other than pensions be
recognized in the financial statements during the years the employee provides
services. In the prior years, the company's portion of the cost of these
benefits has been expensed under the pay-as-you-go method. SYSCO provides
postretirement health care benefits to eligible retired employees and their
dependents. This accounting change had no significant effect on net earnings or
financial condition in fiscal 1994.
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for fiscal 1994 was as
follows:
- - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Service cost-benefits earned during the period $238,000
Interest cost 280,000
Amortization of transition obligation 173,000
--------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost $691,000
========
The components of the postretirement benefit obligation, included in
accrued expenses at July 2, 1994 were:
- - - ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Retirees $ 589,000
Fully eligible active participants 1,588,000
Other active employees 2,420,000
------------
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation 4,597,000
Unrecognized net loss and effects of changes in assumptions (123,000)
Unrecognized prior service cost (1,095,000)
Unrecognized transition obligation (3,250,000)
------------
Accrued postretirement benefit liability $ 129,000
============
The discount rate used to determine the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was 8%. A health care cost trend rate is not used in the
calculations because SYSCO subsidizes the cost of postretirement medical
coverage by a fixed dollar amount with the retiree responsible for the cost of
coverage in excess of the subsidy, including all future cost increases.
The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) has issued an
Accounting Standard, which when effective, will require the recognition of
certain benefits paid to former or inactive employees after employment but
before retirement. SYSCO will recognize the provisions of the FASB Standard in
its fiscal year ending July 1, 1995. If the Standard had been adopted in fiscal
1994, the effects on net earnings or financial condition would not be
significant.
CONTINGENCIES
SYSCO is engaged in various legal proceedings which have arisen but have not
been fully adjudicated. These proceedings, in the opinion of management, will
not have a material adverse effect upon the consolidated financial position or
results of operations of the company when ultimately concluded.
