SENECA FOODS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
July 1, 1995
1. Consolidated Condensed Financial Statements
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated
condensed financial statements contain all adjustments, which are normal
and recurring in nature, necessary to present fairly the financial
position of the Registrant as of July 1, 1995 and March 31, 1995 and
results of operations for the three month periods ended July 1, 1995 and
June 25, 1994. All significant intercompany transactions and accounts
have been eliminated in consolidation. The March 31, 1995 balance sheet
was derived from audited financial statements.
The results of operations for the three month periods ended July 1, 1995
and June 25, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
expected for the full year.
The accounting policies followed by the Registrant are set forth in Note
1 to the Registrant's financial statements in the 1995 Seneca Foods
Corporation Annual Report and 10-K.
Other footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these consolidated
condensed financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
statements and notes included in the Registrant's March 31, 1995
financial report.
2. Primary earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of
common shares outstanding, as the effect of common stock equivalents is
immaterial. The difference between primary and fully diluted earnings
per share is immaterial.
3. Off-Season Reserve is the excess of absorbed expenses over incurred
expenses to date. The seasonal nature of the Registrant's Food
Processing business results in a timing difference between expenses
(primarily overhead expenses) incurred and absorbed into product cost.
All Off-Season Reserve balances are zero at fiscal year end.
4. The Registrant changed its fiscal year end from July 31 to March 31
during Fiscal 1995. These financial statements reflect the prior year as
if the fiscal year ended March 31.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

5. A proposed amendment to the Registrant's Certificate of Incorporation
which effected a recapitalization of the Registrant by creating a second
class of Common Stock (which is being distributed to all
common shareholders in the form of a stock dividend) was adopted at the
Annual Meeting held on August 5, 1995. This recapitalization amendment
(i) reclassifies the existing Common Stock as Class B Common Stock, (ii)
authorizes a new class of 10,000,000 shares designated as Class A Common
Stock and (iii) establishes the express terms of the Class A Common
Stock and the Class B Common Stock. The Class A Common Stock and the
Class B Common Stock have substantially identical rights with respect to
any dividends or distributions of cash or property declared on shares of
common stock and rank equally as to the right to receive proceeds on
liquidation or dissolution of the Registrant after payment of the
Registrant's indebtedness and liquidation right to the holders of
preferred shares. However, holders of Class B Common Stock retain full
vote per share whereas the holders of Class A Common Stock have voting
rights of 1/20th of one vote per share on all matters as to which
shareholders of the Registrant are entitled to vote.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
July 1, 1995
Results of Operations:
Sales:
Sales reflect an increase of 15.8% for the first three months versus 1994. The
higher sales, in large part, are due to higher canned vegetables quantities sold
than the previous period and acquisitions made within the last year.
Costs and Expenses:
The following table shows cost and expenses as a percentage of sales:
Three Months Ended
__________________
7/1/95 6/25/94
______ _______
Cost of Product Sold 83.6% 84.7%
Selling 7.1 7.2
Administrative 2.4 3.0
Interest Expense 6.8 1.9
---- ---
99.9% 96.8%
===== ====
Lower Cost of Product Sold percentages (i.e. higher Gross Margins) reflect, in
part, lower selling prices for vegetable products than in the prior year due to
the relatively high packs of vegetables throughout the U. S. after the previous
year which saw unprecedented floods in the Midwest. The Interest Expense is
higher largely due to the debt issued to finance the acquisitions made over the
last year.
Income Taxes:
The effective tax rate used in fiscal 1996 is 38% and in fiscal 1995 it is 36%.
Financial Condition:
The financial condition of the Registrant is summarized in the following table
and explanatory review (In Thousands):

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
OF FINANCIAL CONDITION RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
July 1, 1995
The change in the Working Capital for the quarter from the prior year is largely
due to acquisition of Green Giant assets in the prior year and the capital
expenditure program needed for the Registrant's plants to take on some of the
canned vegetable volume added by the acquisition. When the Registrant acquired
the Green Giant assets, it did not acquire the Finished Goods. Therefore, as the
Registrant produces finished goods for Pillsbury, working capital needs increase
accordingly.
As part of the Alliance with Pillsbury (see 1995 Annual Report for details),
Pillsbury takes Green Giant inventory as it needs it or at least by the
take-or-pay date (varies by commodity). Due to the industrywide high carry-in
inventory, it is expected that Pillsbury will begin taking the Green Giant
inventory in significant quantities during the third quarter. This has and will
reduce the Registrant's sales and increase its inventories and associated
borrowing needs for the second quarter of 1996 versus it's original plan.
The Registrant was not in compliance with certain debt covenants related to
Short-Term and Long-Term Debt. However, all provisions have been met or waived.
See Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for further details.
