In the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002, the Company adopted the fair
value method defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123, Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation, in accounting for the Companys stock option plans. Therefore, the Company will expense the cost of stock
options granted subsequent to April 28, 2002. The Company will determine the expense of stock options as of the grant date based on their fair value as determined using the Black-Scholes option pricing model and weighted average assumptions. The
Company estimates that the impact of expensing the cost of stock options granted, will be less than one cent per diluted share in the current fiscal year. Stock options granted prior to April 29, 2002 will continue to be accounted for under
Accounting Principles Board (APB) Opinion No. 25, Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees (APB 25) until they are modified or vested. Under APB 25, no compensation expense is recorded. Had the Company used the fair value method to
determine compensation expense for its stock options granted prior to April 29, 2002, net income and net income per diluted share would have been $10.9 million and $.10, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 and $56.3 million and $.53,
respectively, for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2001.

(6) In June of fiscal 2003, the Company acquired an 80%
interest in Stefano Foods, Inc. (Stefanos) for $35.8 million in cash plus assumed debt. The preliminary balance of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition
was recorded as goodwill totaling $28.2 million.
In October of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired Packerland
Holdings, Inc. (Packerland) and its affiliated companies for 6.3 million shares of the Companys common stock plus assumed debt and other liabilities. The preliminary balance of the purchase prices in excess of the fair value of the assets
acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition was recorded as goodwill totaling $104.0 million.

In June of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired Moyer Packing Company (Moyer) for
$90.5 million in cash plus assumed debt. The balance of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of the acquisition was recorded as goodwill totaling $7.2 million.
Had the acquisitions of Packerland and Moyer occurred at the beginning of fiscal 2002, sales, net income and net income per
diluted share would have been $2.1 billion, $60.6 million and $.54 for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2001, respectively.
In September of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired the remaining common shares of Schneider Corporation (Schneider) for 2.8 million shares of the Companys common stock. Prior to this transaction, the Company owned approximately
63% of the outstanding shares of Schneider. The balance of the purchase price in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition was recorded as goodwill totaling $13.7 million.
In July of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the assets and business of Gorges/Quik-to-Fix Foods, Inc.
(Quik-to-Fix) for $31.0 million in cash.
These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include the financial position and results of operations from the dates of acquisition. Had the acquisitions of Stefanos, Quik-to-Fix and the purchase of the remaining shares
of Schneider occurred at the beginning of the fiscal years in which they were acquired, there would not have been a material effect on sales, net income or net income per diluted share for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 or July 29, 2001.
(7) On April 30, 2001, the first day of fiscal 2002, the Company adopted SFAS No. 133 Accounting
for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities as amended requiring that all derivative instruments be recorded on the balance sheet at fair value.
As of July 28, 2002, the balance of deferred net gains on derivative instruments included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss was $0.2 million, net of tax. The Company expects that substantially
all of these gains will be reclassified into earnings over the next twelve months as the underlying hedged transactions are realized. As of July 28, 2002, the maximum maturity date for any commodity contract outstanding was seven months. The
Companys derivative instruments had a fair market value of $1.6 million as of July 28, 2002.
The net impact
of ineffectiveness related to the Companys hedges was not material for the 13 weeks ending July 28, 2002. No hedges were discontinued for the 13 weeks ending July 28, 2002 as a result of it becoming probable that the forecasted transaction
will not occur.
(8) On August 29, 2001, the board of directors of the Company declared a two-for-one
stock split of the Companys common stock effective September 14, 2001. All per common share amounts have been restated to reflect the effect of the stock split.
(9) In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No. 143 (SFAS 143), Accounting for Asset Retirement Obligations. SFAS
143 applies to legal obligations associated with the retirement of tangible long-lived assets that result from the acquisition, construction, development or the normal operation of long-lived assets, except for certain obligations of lessees. SFAS
143 requires that the fair value of a liability for an asset retirement obligation be recognized in the period in which it is incurred and can be reasonably estimated. The Company is not required to adopt SFAS 143 until fiscal 2004. The Company has
not completed the analysis required to estimate the impact, if any, of the standard.
In October 2002 , the
FASB issued SFAS No.144, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (SFAS 144). SFAS 144 superceded SFAS No.121, Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of
(SFAS 121). SFAS 144
9
retains the basic provisions of SFAS 121 and applies them to long-lived assets to be disposed of by sales. SFAS 144 applies to all long-lived
assets, including discontinued operations, and it replaces the provisions of ABP Opinion No. 30 Reporting Results of Operations-Reporting the Effects of Disposal of a Segment of a Business and Extraordinary, Unusual and Infrequently Occurring
Events and Transactions, for disposal of segments of a business. SFAS 144 requires all long-lived assets held for disposal to be measured at the lower of carrying amount or fair value less costs to sell. The Company adopted this statement in
the current fiscal year and it has had no material impact to the Companys financial statements.
In July
2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities (SFAS 146). SFAS 146 requires that costs associated with exit or disposal activities be recognized when they are incurred rather than at
the date of a commitment to an exit or disposal plan. Costs covered by this standard include lease termination costs and certain employee severance costs that are associated with a restructuring, discontinued operation, plant closing or other exit
or disposal activity. SFAS 146 is to be applied prospectively to exit or disposal activities initiated after December 31, 2002. The Company has not completed the analysis required to estimate the impact, if any, of the standard.
(10) Certain prior year amounts have been restated to conform to current year presentations.

General
Smithfield Foods, Inc. (the Company) is comprised of a Meat Processing Group (MPG) and a Hog Production Group
(HPG). The MPG consists primarily of seven wholly or majority owned domestic fresh pork and processed meats subsidiaries, two domestic beef processing subsidiaries and four international meat processing subsidiaries. The HPG consists primarily of
three hog production operations located in the United States and certain joint ventures and investments outside the United States.
Results of Operations
The following acquisitions affect the comparability of the results
of operations for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001:
In June of fiscal 2003, the Company
acquired an 80% interest in Stefano Foods, Inc (Stefanos) for $35.8 million in cash plus assumed debt. Prior to the acquisition, Stefanos had annual sales of approximately $22 million.
In October of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired Packerland Holdings, Inc. (Packerland) and its affiliated companies for 6.3 million shares
of the Companys common stock plus assumed debt and other liabilities. In June of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired Moyer Packing Company (Moyer) for $90.5 million in cash plus assumed debt. Packerland and Moyer represent the Companys
beef processing operations. Prior to the acquisition, Packerland and Moyer had combined annual sales of approximately $2 billion.
In September of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired the remaining common shares of Schneider Corporation (Schneider) for 2.8 million shares of the Companys common stock. Prior to this transaction, the Company owned approximately
63% of the outstanding shares of Schneider.
In July of fiscal 2002, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets and business of Gorges/Quik-to-Fix Foods, Inc. (Quik-to-Fix) for $31.0 million in cash. Prior to the acquisition, Quik-to-Fix had annual sales of approximately $140 million.
These acquisitions were accounted for using the purchase method of accounting and, accordingly, the accompanying financial statements include the results of operations from
the dates of acquisition.
13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 compared to 13 weeks ended July 29, 2001
Consolidated
Sales increased by $364.3 million, or 22%, reflecting $518.3 million of incremental sales of acquired businesses partially offset by a decrease in average unit selling
prices in the MPG. See the following section for comments on sales changes by business segment.
Gross profit
decreased $30.2 million, or 12%, primarily the result of sharply lower margins in the HPG on a 28% decrease in live hog prices and a weak operating environment for fresh pork partially offset by the inclusion of $46.5 million of gross profit of
acquired businesses and higher processed meats margins in the MPG. Gross margin percentage decreased to 11% from 16% primarily due to substantially lower margins in the HPG and the acquisition of the beef processing operations. The beef operations
are primarily non-branded, fresh meat businesses with accompanying lower margins.
11
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $24.7 million, or 21 %.
This increase was primarily due to the inclusion of $20.1 million in expenses of acquired businesses and increased advertising and promotion of branded fresh and processed meats. Prior years results reflect a $5.0 million loss incurred as a result
of a fire at a Circle Four farm in Utah.
Depreciation expense increased $7.8 million, or 25%. The increase is
primarily due to the inclusion of $4.8 million of depreciation expense of acquired businesses and increased depreciation in the existing business reflecting capital expenditures to increase processed meats capacities.
Interest expense increased $5.3 million, or 27%. The increase is due to the inclusion of $3.5 million of interest expense of acquired
businesses and additional borrowings associated with the acquisitions and the Companys share repurchase program, partially offset by a decrease in the average interest rates on the revolving credit facility and other variable rate debt.
The effective income tax rate decreased to 35.5% as compared with 39.0% primarily the result of a decrease in
overall earnings at lower marginal tax rates. The Company had a valuation allowance of $28.8 million related to income tax assets as of July 28, 2002 primarily related to losses in foreign jurisdictions for which no tax benefit is recognized.
Reflecting the foregoing factors, net income decreased to $11.8 million, or $.11 per diluted share, in the 13
weeks ended July 28, 2002 down from net income of $56.9 million, or $.53 per diluted share, in the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2001. Prior year amounts include a gain on the sale of IBP inc. common stock, and a loss incurred as a result of a fire at a
Circle Four farm in Utah. Excluding these items, net income was $55.7 million, or $.52 per diluted share, for the 13 weeks ended July 29, 2001. Earnings per diluted share in the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 was also affected by the issuance of
shares in connection with the acquisition of Packerland and the purchase of the remaining shares of Schneider in fiscal 2002 and the retirement of shares under the Companys share repurchase program in fiscal 2003 and 2002.
The following table presents the Companys segment results for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001.

Meat Processing Group
Sales in the MPG segment increased $385.1 million, or 25%, primarily due to the inclusion of the beef processing operations partially
offset by a sales decrease in the pork processing operations. This sales decrease reflected a 14.0% decrease in unit selling prices, primarily the result of an increased supply of protein in the market related to unfavorable export markets for
chicken. Lower pricing was partially offset by sales volume increases in the base business of 8% for processed meats and 3% for fresh pork.
MPG operating profit increased by $39.7 million on sharply higher processed meats margins and the inclusion of the beef processing operations, partially offset by increased advertising and promotional
costs and lower margins on fresh pork as a result of unfavorable market conditions. Increased processed meats margins reflected improved product mix, lower raw material costs, as well as continued focus on margin improvement. Fresh pork margin
decreases were partially offset by the Companys continued emphasis on value-added fresh pork categories.
Hog Production Group
HPG sales decreased 24%, primarily the result of a 28%
decrease in live hog prices, offset by a 7% increase in production. HPG had sales of $199.6 million and $266.6 million for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 and July 29, 2001, respectively, at current prices, to the MPG which were eliminated in the
Companys Consolidated Condensed Statements of Income.
Operating profit decreased $100.8 million primarily
due to the decrease in live hog prices in the current year. This decrease was partially offset by production efficiencies in HPG operations resulting from the consolidation of the Companys production operations. Prior year results reflect a
loss incurred as a result of a fire at a Circle Four farm in Utah.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash provided by operations totaled $24.5 million for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 compared to $91.3 million in the same period last
year. This decrease is due primarily to lower earnings and increased working capital commitments as compared to the prior year.
Cash used in investing activities decreased to $76.4 million for the 13 weeks ended July 28, 2002 compared to $93.0 million for the comparable prior period. The decrease is primarily due to the Companys acquisitions of
Moyer and Quik-to-Fix in the prior year. Capital expenditures in the current period totaled $45.5 million primarily related to fresh and processed meats plant improvements and foreign farm expansion projects. As of July 28, 2002, the Company had
definitive commitments of $95.2 million for capital expenditures primarily for processed meats plant improvements, foreign farm expansion and production efficiency projects.
Financing activities provided cash of $78.3 million in the current 13-week period compared to $6.8 million for the prior year. The Company increased its borrowings on its
revolving credit facility $113.0 million to fund net investment activity and to repurchase 0.9 million shares of the Companys common stock. As of September 6, 2002, 16.8 million shares of the Companys common stock have been repurchased
under an 18.0 million-share repurchase program.
Outlook
Looking forward, the Company believes that live hog prices will remain depressed for the remainder of calendar year 2002. This will negatively impact earnings in the HPG,
and it is unlikely that this can be fully recovered through higher MPG earnings. Longer term, the strategic steps taken in the processed meats business to strengthen margins and broaden the product base through line extensions and acquisitions
should result in higher earnings when livestock prices return to more normal levels.
