                      UNILEVER TELECONFERENCE PRESENTATION

     - UNILEVER REMAINS COMFORTABLE WITH DELIVERY OF TARGETS FOR FULL YEAR -



New York, NY - March 24, 2003 -- THE FOLLOWING IS THE PRESENTATION TEXT FOR THE
UNILEVER PRE-CLOSE TELECONFERENCE, GIVEN BY HOWARD GREEN, HEAD OF INVESTOR
RELATIONS, AT 1400 HRS GMT TODAY.

The purpose of this teleconference is to update the market on the progress of
our business and is a precursor to our "close" period, ahead of the first
quarter results announcement, on Friday, May 2, 2003.

I would remind you that this update is based on the first two months of trading
in the quarter. Comments on EPS and operating margin are made on a before
exceptional items and goodwill amortization basis.

Let me start by saying that we remain comfortable with delivery of our targets
for the year of low double digit growth of earnings per share and for growth of
our leading brands between 5 and 6%.

For the first quarter we expect:

o    firstly, EPS growth of around 5%. We estimate that operating margin will be
     ahead by around 50 bps driven by a continuing contribution from our savings
     programs, partly offset by planned increases in A&P.

o    secondly, we expect leading brand growth of some 4 to 5%, consistent with
     our plan for the year, but reflecting a reduction equivalent to 200 bps in
     the quarter primarily related to calendar effects, which reverse later in
     the year.

Underlying sales growth, after the impact of tail attrition, is expected to be
around 3%.

The net of disposals and acquisitions will be to reduce sales by the equivalent
of some (euro)700 million, leading to a reported sales decline of around 3%.

Turning now to the other elements of the profit and loss account.

Operating margin progression is after the short-term dilution effect of
disposals, which we expect to be the equivalent of around (euro)80 million in
this quarter. The impact of disposals on EPS growth is a dilution of around 3%.

Goodwill amortization is estimated at (euro)315 million in the quarter.

                                      - 2 -



Net interest is estimated at some (euro)300 million, reflecting the benefits of
continuing strong cash flow and lower interest rates. The funding cost of
adopting FRS17 is reported on the interest line and is (euro)48 million of the
(euro)300 million.

Restructuring exceptional items are forecast to be around (euro)100 million
before tax.

We expect the underlying tax rate in the quarter to be around 31%.

The number of shares for calculating EPS is 975 million N.V. equivalent share
units or 6.50 billion if you take the PLC equivalent share units.

Let me summarize:

We have an annual operating plan that again sustains the rate of innovation in
HPC and includes a further step-up in Foods. This underpins our confidence in
the delivery of our annual growth target of 5-6% leading brand growth.

In addition, with the 2002 fourth quarter results we set out the drivers of
operating margin to 2004. With two months actual results under our belt we can
confirm that these are delivering as expected keeping us on track for the
achievement of low double digit EPS beia growth for the year.
