PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
a) General Development of Business
Nebraska Consolidated Mills Company, which was originally
incorporated in Nebraska on September 29, 1919, changed its name
to ConAgra, Inc. ("ConAgra" or the "Company") on February 25,
1971, and since December 5, 1975, has been incorporated in
Delaware.
b) Financial Information About Industry Segments
The Company's businesses are classified into three industry
segments: Food Inputs & Ingredients, Refrigerated Foods and
Grocery/Diversified Products. The contributions of each
industry segment to net sales and operating profit, and the
identifiable assets attributable to each industry segment set
forth in Note 15 "Business Segments" on page 46 of the Company's
1995 Annual Report to Stockholders are incorporated herein by
reference.
c) Narrative Description of Business
The information set forth in the "Business Review" on pages 8
through 23 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders
is incorporated herein by reference.
The following comments pertain to the Company as a whole.
ConAgra operates "across the food chain," from basic
agricultural inputs to production and sale of branded consumer
products. As a result, ConAgra uses many different raw
materials, the bulk of which are commodities. Raw materials are
generally available from several different sources and ConAgra
presently believes that it can obtain these as needed.
Each business is highly competitive. Many companies compete in
one or more of the markets served by ConAgra, some of which have
greater sales and assets than ConAgra.
Quality control processes at principal manufacturing places
emphasize applied research and technical services directed at
product improvement and quality control. In addition, the
Refrigerated Foods and the Grocery/Diversified Products segments
conduct research activities related to the development of new
products.
Many of ConAgra's facilities and products are subject to
various laws and regulations administered by the United States
Department of Agriculture, the Federal Food and Drug
Administration, and other federal, state, local and foreign
governmental agencies relating to the quality of products,
sanitation, safety and environmental control. The Company
believes that it complies with such laws and regulations in all
material respects, and that continued compliance with such
regulations will not have a material effect upon capital
expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the
Company.
ConAgra and its subsidiaries have more than 90,000 employees,
primarily in the United States.
d) Foreign Operations
The information set forth in the "Business Review" on pages 8
through 23 of the Company's 1995 Annual Report to Stockholders
is incorporated herein by reference. The Company is not engaged
in material operations in foreign countries, nor are material
portions of sales or revenues derived from customers in foreign
countries.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES
The Company's corporate headquarters are located in Omaha,
Nebraska. The headquarters and principal operating locations of
each business are set forth on the following list of "ConAgra
Locations".
The Company maintains a number of distribution facilities, in
addition to distribution facilities and warehouse space
available at substantially all of its manufacturing facilities.

manufactured, plant and week. In general, ConAgra operates most
of its manufacturing facilities in excess of 80% of standard
industry capacity. Standards vary by industry from 40 hours per
week to 144 hours per week.
Most principal manufacturing facilities are held in fee.
However, certain parcels of land, machinery and buildings, and
substantially all of ConAgra's transportation equipment used in

ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On August 14, 1990, ConAgra acquired Beatrice Company
(Beatrice). As a result of the acquisition and the significant
pre-acquisition tax and other contingencies of the Beatrice
businesses and its former subsidiaries, the consolidated
post-acquisition financial statements of ConAgra have reflected
significant liabilities and valuation allowances associated with
the estimated resolution of these contingencies.
Subsequent to the acquisition of Beatrice by ConAgra, the
Internal Revenue Service completed its audit of the federal
income tax returns of Beatrice and its predecessors for the
fiscal years ended in 1985 through 1987 and issued an examining
agent's report. The findings contained in the report were
protested by Beatrice. Agreement was reached with the Internal
Revenue Service regarding these matters in August 1995. This
settlement resolves all deficiencies proposed by the Internal
Revenue Service for 1987 and prior years, including deficiencies
relating to previously filed carry-back claims. The settlement
allowed ConAgra to better estimate the amounts of Beatrice state
tax liabilities that will ultimately be paid to various state
tax authorities, and the amounts of state tax and interest that
will be deductible for federal income tax purposes. Prior to
the settlement, ConAgra had recorded a valuation allowance
against deferred tax assets of approximately $230.0 million due
to uncertainties as to the ultimate realization of these assets.
As a result of the settlement, ConAgra has released the $230.0
million valuation allowance and has reduced noncurrent
liabilities by $135.0 million, with a resulting reduction of
goodwill associated with the Beatrice acquisition of $365.0
million. Federal income tax returns of Beatrice for fiscal
years ended 1988, 1989 and 1990 and various state tax returns
remain open. However, after taking into account the foregoing
adjustments, management believes that the ultimate resolution of
all remaining pre-acquisition Beatrice tax contingencies should
not exceed the reserves established for such matters.
Beatrice is also engaged in various litigation and
environmental proceedings related to businesses divested by
Beatrice prior to its acquisition by ConAgra. The environmental
proceedings include litigation and administrative proceedings
involving Beatrice's status as a potentially responsible party
at 42 Superfund, proposed Superfund or state-equivalent sites.
Beatrice has paid or is in the process of paying its liability
share at 33 of these sites. Beatrice's known volumetric
contribution exceeds 4% at seven of the sites. Beatrice has
established substantial reserves for these matters. The
environmental reserves are based on Beatrice's best estimate of
its undiscounted remediation liabilities, which estimates
include evaluation of investigatory studies, extent of required
cleanup, the known volumetric contribution of Beatrice and other
potentially responsible parties and Beatrice's prior experience
in remediating sites. Management believes the ultimate
resolution of such Beatrice legal and environmental
contingencies should not exceed the reserves established for
such matters.
ConAgra is party to a number of other lawsuits and claims
arising out of the operation of its businesses. After taking
into account liabilities recorded for all of the foregoing
matters, management believes the ultimate resolution of such
matters should not have a material adverse effect on ConAgra's
financial condition, results of operation or liquidity.
