Other Postretirement Plans&#151;an amendment of FASB Statements No.&nbsp;87, 88, 106 and 132(R),&#148; (SFAS 158). One provision of SFAS 158 requires the Company to recognize the over-funded and under-funded status of its defined benefit pension and
other postretirement plans as an asset or liability in its statement of financial position and to recognize changes in that funded status in the year in which the changes occur through comprehensive income. The Company adopted this provision in the
fourth quarter of fiscal 2007. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In July 2006 (fiscal 2007), the FASB issued FASB Interpretation No.&nbsp;48 (FIN 48), &#147;Accounting for
Uncertainty in Income Taxes-an Interpretation of FASB Statement No.&nbsp;109&#148;. FIN 48 prescribes a comprehensive model for how a company should recognize, measure, present and disclose in its financial statements uncertain tax positions that
the company has taken or expects to take on a tax return. FIN 48 states that a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position may be recognized only if it is &#147;more likely than not&#148; that the position is sustainable, based on its technical
merits. The tax benefit of a qualifying position is the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon settlement with a taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. A tax benefit from an
uncertain position was previously recognized if it was probable of being sustained. Under FIN 48, the liability for unrecognized tax benefits is classified as noncurrent unless the liability is expected to be settled in cash or de-recognized within
12 months of the reporting date. FIN 48 is effective as of the beginning of the first fiscal year beginning after December&nbsp;15, 2006. The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on April&nbsp;30, 2007. As a result of the adoption of FIN 48, the
Company recognized an increase of $23.7 million in the liability for unrecognized tax benefits, and the impact of adopting FIN 48 on the Company&#146;s consolidated financial statements as of April 30, 2007 is summarized below. </FONT></P> <P

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company operates in multiple taxing jurisdictions, both within and outside of the U.S., and faces
audits from various tax authorities regarding several matters. At April&nbsp;30, 2007, the total amount of liability for unrecognized tax benefits related to federal, state and foreign taxes was approximately $58.9 million (of which approximately
$41.3 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized and includes approximately $8.1 million of accrued interest). As of October&nbsp;28, 2007, the corresponding balance of liability for unrecognized tax benefits, including interest, was
approximately $65.4 million for the items described above (of which approximately $46.0 million would impact the effective tax rate if recognized and includes approximately $8.7 million of accrued interest). This change in unrecognized tax benefits
relates to net interest charges, other current year items impacting the effective tax rate, and settlements with the Internal Revenue Service (these settlements include a $3.9 million reduction in goodwill). </FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company is currently under examination in several tax jurisdictions and remains subject to examinations until the statute of limitations expires in
the respective tax jurisdictions. Within specific countries, the Company may be subject to audit by various tax authorities, or subsidiaries operating within the country may be subject to different statute of limitations expiration dates. The
Company has substantially concluded all U.S. federal income tax matters for the years through fiscal 2002. Federal income tax returns for fiscal 2003 through fiscal 2005 are currently under examination. It is reasonably possible that the examination
phase of the audit for these years may conclude within the next 12 months, and that the related unrecognized tax benefits for tax positions taken regarding previously filed income tax returns may change from those recorded as liabilities for
uncertain tax positions in the Company&#146;s financial statements at October&nbsp;28, 2007. However, based on the status of the examinations, it is not possible to estimate the effect of any amount of such change to previously recorded uncertain
tax positions. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">Based upon the expiration of statutes of limitations and/or the conclusion of tax examinations in several jurisdictions as
of October 28, 2007, the Company believes it is reasonably possible that the total amount of previously unrecognized tax benefits for the items discussed above may decrease by up to $20.1 million within twelve months of April&nbsp;30, 2007. The
Company&#146;s policy is to classify interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense. In the 26 weeks ended October 28, 2007, there was $1.8 million in such interest and penalties included in income tax expense.

approximately $125.0 million of assumed debt. PSF is one of the largest vertically integrated providers of pork products in the U.S., producing pork products for the retail, wholesale, foodservice, further processor and export markets. PSF is a
recognized leader in the pork industry through its vertically integrated business model that combines modern, efficient production and processing facilities, sophisticated genetics, and strict control over the variables of health, diet and
environment. PSF is one of the largest pork processors in the U.S. with processing facilities in Missouri and North Carolina. PSF is also one of the largest owners of sows in the U.S. with operations located in Missouri, North Carolina and Texas.
PSF&#146;s results from the pork processing operations are being reported in the Company&#146;s Pork segment and results from hog production are being reported in the Company&#146;s HP segment. For the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007, PSF
had net sales of approximately $893.0 million. Pursuant to the Agreement and Plan of Merger (the Merger Agreement), PSF became a wholly-owned subsidiary as the outstanding shares of PSF common stock were exchanged for 21.6&nbsp;million shares of the
Company&#146;s common stock and $40.0 million in cash. The Company used available funds under its revolving credit facility (See Note 7: Debt) to pay for the cash portion of the consideration under the Merger Agreement and the assumed debt. The
purchase price in excess of the value of PSF&#146;s net assets reflects the strategic value the Company places on PSF&#146;s vertically integrated business model, </FONT>

<FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">principally in the Midwestern U.S. The Company believes it will benefit from synergies such as knowledge-sharing, economies of scale and similar benefits as
PSF&#146;s operations are integrated with the Company&#146;s existing operations. In determining the purchase price, the Company also considered PSF&#146;s strong management team and the efficiency of their hog production and pork processing
operations. Because these factors do not arise from contractual or other legal rights, nor are they separable as defined by paragraph 39 of SFAS No.&nbsp;141 &#147;Business Combinations&#148;, the value attributable to these factors is included in
the amount recognized as goodwill. The Company is in the process of valuing the tangible and intangible assets acquired to determine the final purchase price allocation. The outcome of this valuation may change the preliminary allocation of the
following: an estimate of $33.1 million has been recorded for contractual relationships in HP, $5.5 million for permits in HP, $0.4 million for permits in the Pork segment and $1.1 million for trademarks in the Pork segment. The balance of the
purchase price in excess of the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed of $205.1 million has been estimated as goodwill. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"
SIZE="2">Had the acquisition of PSF occurred at the beginning of the preceding fiscal year, sales, net income and net income per diluted share would have been $3,015.2 million, $46.7 million and $.35 per share, respectively, for the 13 weeks ended
October 29, 2006 and $5,999.7 million, $81.2 million and $.61, respectively, for the 26 weeks ended October 29, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In October 2006
(fiscal 2007), the Company completed its acquisition of substantially all of the non-turkey product assets of the branded meats business of ConAgra Foods, Inc. (ConAgra) in the Pork segment for $226.3&nbsp;million (See Note 5: Investments regarding
Butterball, LLC&#146;s acquisition of the turkey product assets of the branded meats business of ConAgra). The business (Armour-Eckrich) includes the packaged meats products sold under the Armour, Eckrich, Margherita and LunchMakers brands. The
brands are marketed to retail grocers, delis, restaurants and other foodservice establishments. As a result of the acquisition, the Company estimates that it has added approximately 530&nbsp;million pounds annually of packaged meats, almost all of
which are branded, with large market shares in hot dogs, dinner sausages and luncheon meats. For the twelve months immediately prior to the acquisition, Armour-Eckrich had net sales of approximately $1,038.2 million. This acquisition advances the
Company&#146;s strategy of growing the packaged meats business, utilizing raw materials internally, as well as migrating to higher margin, convenience products. The Company&#146;s valuation of Armour-Eckrich resulted in $99.5 million of negative
goodwill, which represents the excess of fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed over the purchase price. The Company believes these acquired brands have underperformed in recent years, largely due to limited marketing support.
Because these brands had not been adequately supported in the recent past and there was no plan to invest the marketing support necessary to turn them around, the Company acquired the brands at an attractive price. Ultimately, this price led to the
recording of negative goodwill. The excess of the fair value over the purchase price has been accounted for as a reduction to certain non-current assets acquired. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

There would not have been a material effect on net income or net income per diluted share for the 13 and 26 weeks ended October 29, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT SIZE="1">&nbsp;</FONT></P>

FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In April 2007 (fiscal 2007), the Company decided to exit the alternative fuels business and dispose of substantially all of the assets of Smithfield Bioenergy, LLC (SBE). As a result, SBE is being reported as a
discontinued operation. As of April&nbsp;29, 2007, substantially all the assets of SBE were classified together in one &#147;disposal group&#148;, as defined by SFAS No.&nbsp;144 &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived
Assets&#148; (SFAS 144), with the anticipation that all SBE assets would be sold together in a single transaction. During the first quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company determined, based upon negotiations with interested parties and other ongoing
disposal efforts, that changes to the plan of sale were necessary as the Company believes it is unlikely that substantially all the assets of SBE will be sold together in a single transaction. Consequently, the Company began marketing two separate
asset disposal groups, representing SBE&#146;s bio-diesel and methanol assets. SFAS 144 requires adjustments to the carrying value of assets held for sale if their fair value, less any selling costs, is less than the carrying value. An impairment
charge of $6.7 million, net of tax of $3.8 million, was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to reflect the methanol asset disposal group at its estimated fair value. The Company has determined that no impairment exists for the bio-diesel
asset disposal group. Substantially all of the assets of both the bio-diesel and methanol asset disposal groups represent property, plant and equipment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

Facility). In August 2009, 16% of the facility will terminate with the remaining facility terminating in August 2010. Smithfield Capital Europe may draw down funds as a revolving loan under the facility and the proceeds of any borrowings under the
EURO Credit Facility may be used for general corporate purposes. As of October 28, 2007, the EURO Credit Facility was fully drawn. The EURO Credit Facility is secured by the Company&#146;s shares of Campofr&iacute;o stock and all of the share

STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company is exposed to market risks primarily from changes in commodity prices, as well as interest rates and foreign exchange rates. To mitigate these
risks, the Company utilizes derivative instruments to hedge its exposure to changing prices and rates. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The Company accounts for derivative
financial instruments in accordance with SFAS No.&nbsp;133, &#147;Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,&#148; as amended (SFAS 133). SFAS 133 requires that all derivatives be recorded in the balance sheet as either assets or
liabilities at fair value. Accounting for changes in the fair value of a derivative depends on whether it qualifies and has been designated as part of a hedging relationship. For derivatives that qualify and have been designated as hedges for
accounting purposes, changes in fair value have no net impact on earnings, to the extent the derivative is considered perfectly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged, until the
hedged item is recognized in earnings (commonly referred to as the &#147;hedge accounting&#148; method). For derivatives that do not qualify or are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, changes in fair value are recorded in
current period earnings (commonly referred to as the &#147;mark-to-market&#148; method). Under SFAS 133, the Company may elect either method of accounting for its derivative portfolio, assuming all the necessary requirements are met. The Company has
in the past, and may in the future, avail itself of either acceptable method. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">The fair value gain/(loss) on the Company&#146;s open

significant expansion in packaged meats margins, a much-improved fresh pork environment late in the quarter and the contribution of recent acquisitions. Beef segment results in the second quarter of fiscal 2008 were below those of a year ago. Beef
processing posted a slight profit in spite of higher cattle prices and the continued closure of most export markets. Cattle feeding operations recorded a modest profit although feed costs were well above last year. International segment operating

(fiscal 2008), the Company acquired Premium Standard Farms, Inc. (PSF) for approximately $800.0 million in stock and cash including approximately $125.0 million of assumed debt. PSF is one of the largest vertically integrated providers of pork
products in the U.S., producing pork products for the retail, wholesale, foodservice, further processor and export markets. PSF&#146;s results from the pork processing operations are being reported in the Company&#146;s Pork segment and results from
hog production are being reported in the Company&#146;s HP segment. Prior to the acquisition, PSF had net sales of approximately $893.0 million for the twelve months ended March&nbsp;31, 2007. </FONT></P> <P

of ConAgra Foods, Inc. for $226.3 million. The business (Armour-Eckrich) includes packaged meats products sold under the Armour, Eckrich, Margherita and LunchMakers brands. The brands are marketed to retail grocers, delis, restaurants and other
foodservice establishments. As a result of the acquisition, the Company estimates that it has added approximately 530&nbsp;million pounds annually of packaged meats, almost all of which are branded, with large market shares in hot dogs, dinner
sausages and luncheon meats. For the twelve months immediately prior to the acquisition, Armour-Eckrich had net sales of approximately $1,038.2 million. This acquisition advances the Company&#146;s strategy of growing the packaged meats business and
utilizing raw materials internally, as well as migrating to higher margin, convenience products. Armour-Eckrich&#146;s operations are being reported in the Pork segment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT

the second quarter of fiscal 2008, the Company reported outbreaks of classical swine fever, or CSF, at three of its thirty-three hog farms in Romania. CSF is a highly contagious, viral disease that affects pigs but has no effect on human health. The
Company worked closely with Romanian authorities to contain the outbreaks and to destroy and dispose of animals on the three affected farms. Inventory write-down and disposal costs associated with the outbreaks negatively affected profits in the HP

certain costs associated with the euthanasia and disposal of the affected animals under governmental programs designed to compensate animal owners affected by disease and is actively pursuing such reimbursement. However, any potential cost

 <P STYLE="margin-top:0px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In October 2006 (fiscal 2007), concurrent with the Company&#146;s acquisition of Armour-Eckrich, Carolina
Turkeys, LLC, an existing partnership of which the Company owns 49%, financed and purchased the Butterball and Longmont turkey products business of the ConAgra branded meats business for $325.0 million and changed its name to Butterball, LLC
(Butterball). The Company accounts for its investment in Butterball as an equity investment and records 49% of the earnings of Butterball in the &#147;Equity in income of affiliates&#148; line of its consolidated statements of income and in the
Other segment. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In August 2006 (fiscal 2007), the Company completed its investment in Groupe Smithfield S.L. (Groupe Smithfield), a 50/50
joint venture, which purchased the European meats business of Sara Lee Corporation, for $575.0 million in cash, plus the assumption of excess pension related liabilities of approximately $39.0 million. To form the joint venture, the Company
contributed its French operations, Jean Caby, previously reported in the International segment, and cash of &#128;50.0&nbsp;million (approximately $63.1 million) and Oaktree Capital Management, LLC contributed cash of &#128;108.9&nbsp;million
(approximately $137.4 million) and a contingent, convertible note of &#128;40.0&nbsp;million (approximately $50.4 million). The Company accounts for its investment in Groupe Smithfield as an equity investment and records 50% of the earnings of
Groupe Smithfield in the &#147;Equity in income of affiliates&#148; line of its consolidated statements of income and in the International segment. Prior to the contribution to Groupe Smithfield, sales and operating losses from Jean Caby were $98.9
million and $6.5 million, respectively, for the 26 weeks ended October&nbsp;29, 2006. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2"><I>Discontinued Operations </I></FONT></P> <P
STYLE="margin-top:6px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">In April 2007 (fiscal 2007), the Company decided to exit the alternative fuels business and dispose of substantially all of the assets of Smithfield
Bioenergy, LLC (SBE). As a result, SBE is being reported as a discontinued operation. As of April&nbsp;29, 2007, substantially all the assets of SBE were classified together in one &#147;disposal group,&#148; as defined by Statement of Financial
Accounting Standard No.&nbsp;144 &#147;Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets&#148; (SFAS 144), with the anticipation that all SBE assets would be sold together in a single transaction. During the first quarter of fiscal
2008, the Company determined, based upon negotiations with interested parties and other ongoing disposal efforts, that changes to the plan of sale were necessary as the Company believes it is unlikely that substantially all the assets of SBE will be
sold together in a single transaction. Consequently, the Company began marketing two separate asset disposal groups, representing SBE&#146;s bio-diesel and methanol assets. SFAS 144 requires adjustments to the carrying value of assets held for sale
if their fair value, less any selling costs, is less than carrying value. An impairment charge of $6.7 million, net of tax of $3.8 million, was recorded in the first quarter of fiscal 2008 to reflect the methanol asset disposal group at its
estimated fair value. The Company has determined that no impairment exists for the bio-diesel asset disposal group. Substantially all of the assets of both the bio-diesel and methanol asset disposal groups represent property, plant and equipment.

negatively affecting beef margins. Although Japan announced an agreement to move towards restarting partial trade in U.S. beef from animals 20 months and younger and South Korea reopened partial trade in U.S. beef from animals 30 months and younger,
the vast majority of U.S. beef remains ineligible for export to key Asian markets. Beef margins were also affected by higher cattle prices. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px; margin-left:2%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

decision in the third quarter of fiscal 2007 to discontinue the use of hedge accounting for its commodity derivatives. The operating results for the 13 and 26 weeks ended October&nbsp;29, 2006 reflect the application of hedge accounting for
commodity derivatives that had qualified and been designated as a hedge for accounting purposes. For derivatives that qualify and have been designated as hedges for accounting purposes, changes in fair value have no net impact on earnings, to the
extent the derivative is considered perfectly effective in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the risk being hedged, until the hedged item is recognized in earnings (commonly referred to as the &#147;hedge
accounting&#148; method). For derivatives that do not qualify or are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes, changes in fair value are recorded in current period earnings (commonly referred to as the &#147;mark-to-market&#148;
method). The results of both mark-to-market and hedge accounting are reflected in the &#147;Cost of sales&#148; line in the Company&#146;s Consolidated Statements of Income. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:18px;margin-bottom:0px"><FONT

acquisitions, total pork volumes increased 23% with fresh pork volumes increasing 25% and packaged meats volumes increasing 21%. Excluding these acquisitions, total pork volumes decreased 2% with fresh pork volumes decreasing 8% and packaged meats

October&nbsp;28, 2007 from $632.8 million for the 13 weeks ended October&nbsp;29, 2006. The increase is reflective of the beef processing environment becoming more favorable with volumes and exports increasing. These factors yielded an 8% increase
in the average unit selling price and a 4% increase in total beef volumes. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">International segment sales increased $53.6 million, or 24%, to

which was contributed to the Groupe Smithfield joint venture, total meat volumes increased 12% with fresh pork volumes increasing 10% and packaged meats volumes increasing 15%. Additionally, the average unit selling price, excluding the impact of
foreign currency translation, increased 6% from the prior year period reflecting a change in the product mix. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman" SIZE="2">HP segment sales increased

for the 13 weeks ended October 28, 2007. Including the acquisition, the Company sold 36% more head domestically than in the year ago period. Excluding the PSF acquisition, the Company sold 2% more head reflecting the emergence from the negative

to $35.9 million for the 13 weeks ended October&nbsp;28, 2007 from $33.9 million for the 13 weeks ended October&nbsp;29, 2006. The increase is mainly due to a combination of volume and price changes at the Company&#146;s turkey production

quarter, the contribution of PSF and a full quarter of results from Armour-Eckrich. This was partially offset by decreased profitability in the HP segment which experienced significantly higher raising costs and a $13.0 million charge related to a

million to $62.9 million for the 13 weeks ended October&nbsp;28, 2007 from $22.7 million for the 13 weeks ended October&nbsp;29, 2006. The increase is attributable to a significant improvement in packaged meats margins, the acquisition of PSF in May
2007 and a full quarter of results from Armour-Eckrich. Excluding the effects of Armour-Eckrich and PSF, the segment&#146;s packaged meats volumes grew by 5% with volumes in higher margin categories including pre-cooked bacon and smoked spiral hams
increasing more than 21%. Including Armour-Eckrich and PSF, the segment&#146;s packaged meats volumes grew by 21%. These increases reflect the Company&#146;s continued focus on rationalizing lower margin products in favor of higher margin more fully

however, decreasing 8% from the prior year&#146;s period mainly due to the increased use of fresh pork internally for packaged meats production. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

million to $89.4 million for the 26 weeks ended October&nbsp;28, 2007 from $40.5 million for the 26 weeks ended October&nbsp;29, 2006. Excluding the effects of the Armour-Eckrich and PSF acquisitions, the segment&#146;s packaged meats volumes grew
by 4% with volumes in pre-cooked bacon and smoked boneless hams increasing more than 10%. Including these acquisitions, the segment&#146;s packaged meats volumes grew by 24%. These increases reflect the Company&#146;s continued focus on
rationalizing lower margin products in favor of higher margin, more fully processed products. Partially offsetting the increases were the Company&#146;s fresh pork results. Fresh pork volumes remained under significant pressure with volumes
decreasing 12% from the prior year&#146;s period due in part to the increased use of fresh pork internally for packaged meats production. </FONT></P> <P STYLE="margin-top:12px;margin-bottom:0px; text-indent:4%"><FONT FACE="Times New Roman"

both domestically and in the export market, more than offset the effect of higher cattle costs and the losses related to the Company&#146;s wholly-owned cattle feeding operations. The Company&#146;s cattle feeding investments showed improvement over
the prior year period as a result of increased prices in the cattle markets. The Company&#146;s investment in Five Rivers reported a profit of $16.4 million versus a loss of $2.1 million in the prior year period. </FONT></P> <P

and strong results in the Company&#146;s Polish operations. The Company&#146;s Polish operations contributed to a 17% increase in packaged meats volumes and a 14% increase in fresh pork volumes in the segment. Offsetting these increases were less

rapid turnover of accounts receivable. Although inventory turnover in the HP segment is slower, mature hogs are readily convertible into cash. Borrowings under the Company&#146;s credit facilities are used, in part, to finance increases in the
