PART I
ITEM 1. BUSINESS
THE COMPANY
-----------
Campbell Soup Company, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, is a
leading manufacturer and marketer of high quality, branded convenience food
products. Campbell was incorporated as a business corporation under the
laws of New Jersey on November 23, 1922; however, through predecessor
organizations, its beginnings in the food business can be traced back to
1869.
Acquisitions in fiscal year 1994 consisted of the Australian mushroom
business, Dandy Mushrooms, and the Australian canned meat business, "Fray
Bentos". The company sold Campbell Chilled Foods Limited, Campbell Foods
P.L.C., Casera Foods, Inc., La Forest Perigord S.A., Quadelco Limited and
Torres y Ribelles S.A. during the fiscal year.
PRODUCTS
--------
The company produces and sells a wide array of food products including
canned foods such as soups, juices, gravies, pasta, meat and vegetables;
frozen foods such as dinners, breakfasts, entrees, garlic breads and rolls,
sandwiches, meat pies, seafood, vegetables, pastries and cakes; pickles,
olives, peppers and relishes; fresh bread and rolls; croutons and stuffing;
cookies, crackers and snacks; dry soups; refrigerated foods such as salads,
antipasto, salad dressings, cheese spreads and dips, sauces, desserts and
entrees; vinegar, vegetable oils, mayonnaise and mustard; beverage and
dessert mixes; sauces, including spaghetti and barbecue sauces; nuts;
pates; chocolates and other confectionery items; bubble gum; fish; poultry;
and fresh mushrooms. The company's food products are for the most part
prepared from confidential recipes developed in its experimental kitchens
and research laboratories. To assure wholesome, attractive, uniform
products, high standards of quality are maintained by a rigorous system of
quality assurance.
TRADEMARKS
----------
The company markets its food products under a number of significant
trademarks. The company considers such trademarks, taken as a whole, to be
of material importance to its business and, consequently, aggressively
seeks to protect its rights in them. In the United States, these include:
Campbell's(R), Pepperidge Farm(R), Godiva(R), Vlasic(R), Swanson(R), Mrs.
Paul's(R), V8(R), Franco-American(R), Prego(R), SpaghettiOs(R), Marie's(R),
Open Pit(R), Healthy Request(R), Home Cookin'(R), Goldfish(R), Hungry-
Man(R), LeMenu(R), Healthy Treasures(R), Early California(R), Great
Starts(R), Chunky(TM), Campbell's Simmer Chef(TM), and others.
Significant trademarks used extensively outside the United States include:
Delacre, Arnott's, Swift, Habitant, Lacroix, Freshbake, Fray Bentos,
Pleyben, Exeter, Plate, Ace, La Patrona, Groko, MacFarms, La Main Bleue,
Royal Mail, Candy Man, Tubble Gum, Roll Up, Beeck, Kattus, Probare,
Granny's, Devos-Lemmens, Imperial, Kwatta, Lutti, Leo and others.
The company's trademarks also include federally registered depictions of
certain characters and designs such as the "Campbell Kids", the
"Campbell's" condensed soup can label, the "Vlasic" stork, the "Godiva"
Gold Ballotin box, the "Goldfish" cracker shape and others.
Advertising slogans which have become important trademarks for the company
include: "M'm! M'm! Good!"(R), "Home Made Taste. It's in There."(R),
"Chunky. Soup So Big, It Eats Like a Meal"(R), "Never Underestimate the
Power of Campbell's"(TM) and others.
The company considers that, taken as a whole, the rights under its various
patents are a valuable asset; however, it does not regard its businesses as
being materially dependent upon any single patent or any group of related
patents.

DISTRIBUTION
------------
The company distributes its products through direct customers, including
chain stores, wholesalers and distributors that maintain central
warehouses, institutional and industrial customers, convenience stores,
club stores, and certain governmental agencies. In the United States,
sales solicitation activities are conducted by employees of subsidiaries
and through independent brokers and contract distributors. No material
part of the business is dependent upon a single customer. Shipments are
made promptly by the company after receipt and acceptance of orders;
therefore, there is no significant backlog of unfilled orders.
COMPETITION
-----------
The company experiences vigorous competition for sales of all its principal
products in its major markets from numerous competitors of varying sizes.
The principal areas of competition are quality, price, advertising,
promotion, and service. The company believes that it is the largest
manufacturer in the United States of condensed and ready-to-serve soups,
vegetable juice, tomato juice, pickles, olives, and canned poultry; a major
manufacturer of canned beans, canned gravies, canned pasta products,
spaghetti sauces, frozen meat pies, frozen breakfasts, frozen pastries and
cakes, frozen prepared seafood, frozen prepared dinners and various
specialty food items; and a major producer of fresh mushrooms.
INGREDIENTS/SUPPLIES
--------------------
The ingredients required for the manufacture of the company's food products
include vegetables, tomatoes and other fruits, mushrooms, poultry, dairy
products, eggs, grain products, meats, seafoods, nuts, spices, and
sweeteners. The company does not grow or raise ingredients, except for
mushrooms, poultry and beef. Swift-Armour Sociedad Anonima Argentina, an
Argentine corporation and a wholly-owned subsidiary, has been the principal
supplier of cooked beef to the company.
In general, satisfactory sources of supply of ingredients are available.
Raw product inventories are at a peak during the late fall and decline
during the winter and spring. Since many ingredients of suitable quality
are available in sufficient quantities only at certain seasons, the company
makes heavy purchases of such ingredients during their respective seasons.
The company contracts in advance of growing seasons with growers or
processors for a large part of its ingredient requirements. As a result of
factors not within the company's control, the prices of ingredients
fluctuate significantly from time to time.
In the United States, the company manufactures most of the metal containers
for its canned products and substantial quantities of plastic containers for
its frozen products. The balance of metal, plastic, all glass and fiberboard
containers are purchased from independent suppliers. Outside of the United
States, packaging is purchased mainly from independent suppliers.
WORKING CAPITAL
---------------
Information relating to the company's cash and other working capital items
is set forth in Part II of this Report on pages F-2 through F-7 in the
section entitled "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition".
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT
------------------------
During the last three fiscal years, the company's expenditures on research
activities relating to new products and the improvement of existing
products were approximately $78 million in 1994, $69 million in 1993, and
$60 million in 1992. The company conducts this research at the Campbell
Institute for Research and Technology at the company's headquarters in
Camden, New Jersey, and in other locations in the United States and foreign
countries.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
---------------------
The company has programs for the operation and design of its facilities
which meet or exceed applicable environmental rules and regulations. The
company's expenditures for capital improvements during fiscal 1994 were
approximately $420.5 million, of which, according to company estimates,
approximately $14.4 million was for compliance with environmental laws and
regulations in the United States. The company further estimates that
approximately $18.0 million of the capital expenditures anticipated during
fiscal 1995 will be for compliance with such environmental laws and
regulations. The company believes that continued compliance with existing
environmental laws and regulations will not have a material effect on
capital expenditures, earnings or the competitive position of the company.

EMPLOYEES
---------
At July 31, 1994, there were 44,378 persons employed by the company. The
decrease of 5.4% from 1993 was primarily due to restructuring.
FOREIGN OPERATIONS
------------------
Information with respect to the revenue, operating profitability and
identifiable assets attributable to the company's foreign operations is set
forth in Part II of this Report on page F-16 in the section of the Notes to
Consolidated Financial Statements entitled "Geographic Area Information".
The businesses of foreign subsidiaries are subject to the laws of foreign
countries which may place restrictions and controls on such matters as
ownership, imports and exports, prices, products and transfer of funds.
The financial results of such subsidiaries are also affected by the
changing dollar values of the foreign currencies in which the businesses
are conducted.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION
---------------------
Information with respect to the revenue, operating profit and identifiable
assets for the company's only industry segment is set forth in Part II
hereof on page F-16 in the section of the Notes to Consolidated Financial
Statements entitled "Geographic Area Information".
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES AT JULY 31, 1994
The company operates numerous manufacturing and processing plants and sales
and distribution centers around the world. Its principal manufacturing and
processing operations in the United States are located in Arkansas (frozen
foods; ingredients), California (heat processed; dried and frozen foods;
condiments; mushrooms, ingredients), Connecticut (bakery), Delaware
(condiments), Florida (bakery), Georgia (dry and heat processed foods;
ingredients; mushrooms), Hawaii (nuts), Illinois (bakery; mushrooms),
Michigan (condiments; heat processed foods; mushrooms), Nebraska (frozen
foods, ingredients), New Jersey (ingredients), North Carolina (heat
processed foods), Ohio (heat processed, dry foods and biscuit),
Pennsylvania (confectionery, biscuit, bakery and mushrooms), South Carolina
(bakery), Texas (heat processed foods), Utah (biscuit and frozen) and
Wisconsin (ingredients; condiments).
Outside the U.S. the company has manufacturing and distribution facilities
in Argentina (meat products, heat processed and frozen foods), Australia
(biscuit; heat processed foods; juices; mushrooms), Belgium (confectionery;
biscuit; heat processed foods), Canada (heat processed and frozen foods),
England (heat processed and frozen foods), France (confectionery; biscuit;
heat processed foods), Germany (refrigerated and heat processed foods;
distribution), Hong Kong (distribution), Italy (mushrooms; heat processed
foods), Japan (distribution), Mexico (ingredients; heat processed and
frozen foods; distribution), the Netherlands (confectionery; frozen foods;
biscuit; distribution), New Zealand (biscuit; distribution), Papua New
Guinea (biscuit) and Scotland (frozen foods).
The company also operates 120 retail candy shops in the United States,
Canada and Europe; 87 retail bakery thrift stores in the United States; 1
mail order facility; and other plants and facilities at various locations
in the United States and abroad.
The company's manufacturing and processing plants are designed according to
the requirements of the products to be manufactured, and the type of
construction varies from plant to plant. In the design of plant
facilities, particular emphasis is placed on quality assurance in the
finished products, safety in the operations, and avoidance or abatement of
pollution. The company maintains its own engineering staff, which aids in
achieving close integration of research, design, construction and
manufacturing functions and facilitates the construction of plants which
will be best suited to their special purposes.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
In management's opinion, there are no pending claims or litigation, the
outcome of which would have a material effect on the consolidated financial
position of the company. The company has been named as a potentially
responsible party in a number of proceedings brought under the
Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act,
commonly known as Superfund. The ultimate impact of these environmental
proceedings cannot be predicted at this time due to the large number of
other potentially responsible parties and the speculative nature of clean-
up cost estimates, but it is not expected to be material either
individually or in the aggregate.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY AND CONSOLIDATED SUBSIDIARIES
---------------------------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
OVERVIEW
Earnings per share rose 14% to $2.51, compared to $2.21, before special
charges, the prior year. Net earnings climbed 13% to a record $630 million
versus $557 million before special charges last year. Special charges in
fiscal 1993 consisted of $1.19 per share for restructuring and $.99 per
share for adoption of new accounting standards, reducing reported earnings
per share to $.03. Net sales rose 2% to a record $6.7 billion, from $6.6
billion in fiscal 1993. Excluding divested businesses and currency
fluctuations, sales were up 4%.
Soup shipments in the U.S. were down 7% from the prior year as the U.S.
Soup unit refocused marketing spending on the retail consumer and initiated
a program to eliminate costly peaks in the manufacturing and shipping
cycles. Outside the U.S., soup volume increased 12%.
Record earnings are a tribute to a better-balanced worldwide business
portfolio, as both Biscuit and Bakery and International delivered strong
earnings gains while U.S. earnings were relatively flat.
1994 COMPARED TO 1993
RESULTS BY DIVISION
CAMPBELL U.S.A. - Operating earnings for Campbell U.S.A. were $783 million
in 1994 compared to $780 million in 1993, before 1993 special charges of
$175 million. Net sales were $4.0 billion in 1994, 3% below 1993.
These results reflect decisions by the U.S. Soup unit to level production
and ship to customer demand. "Swanson" dinners, "Great Starts" breakfasts
and "Prego" spaghetti sauces achieved solid volume growth. Food service
products continued rapid growth led by frozen entrees and custom packed
products for quick-service restaurants.
CAMPBELL BISCUIT AND BAKERY - Operating earnings rose 45% to $153 million
in 1994 from $106 million in 1993 before special charges of $5 million.
The division achieved net sales of $1.2 billion, a 24% increase. This
performance reflects a full year of results for Arnotts in Australia, which
was acquired in the third quarter of 1993, and a turnaround at Delacre in
Europe. Excluding the effect of the additional investment in Arnotts,
earnings increased 17% and sales were flat.
F-2
13
Pepperidge Farm's frozen pastry products and garlic breads achieved solid
volume gains. At Arnotts, volume gains were strong in the chocolate
category and flavored snacks. Sales at Delacre were down due to the
lingering effects of recession in Europe, but earnings were up
significantly on lower manufacturing costs.
CAMPBELL INTERNATIONAL - Operating earnings increased 23% to $136 million
in 1994, from $111 million in 1993 before special charges of $173 million.
Operating earnings improvements were achieved in all International
locations with the United Kingdom, Argentina, Mexico and Campbell's
confectionery business turning in strong performances.
Net sales were $1.55 billion in 1994, a 2% decline from $1.58 billion in
1993. Net sales before divestitures and currency fluctuations increased
6.5%. Soup in the United Kingdom, Mexico, Australia and Hong Kong, and
Godiva worldwide achieved very strong volume growth. Sales in the United
Kingdom also benefited from the 1993 acquisition of "Fray Bentos".
STATEMENT OF EARNINGS
Gross margins improved 1.7 points to 40.5% as a result of higher selling
prices.
Marketing and selling expenses increased to 19.0% of sales from 18.3% in
1993. Growth in marketing spending was substantially less than in prior
years as a result of company efforts to refocus trade promotional
activities on the consumer and better match shipments to consumption.
Advertising was even with 1993.
Administrative expenses declined to 4.4% of sales from 4.7% a year ago, due
principally to lower management incentive plan expenses and cost controls.
Research and development increased 13% due to new product development and
the opening of a new research and test facility in Camden, New Jersey.
Interest expense decreased 11% principally as a result of a decline in the
company's average effective interest rate to 7.6%.
Other expense increased $13 million because of minority owners' share of
Arnotts' earnings for the full year in 1994 versus five months in 1993.
The effective tax rate declined to 34.6% from 50.5% in 1993. The higher
rate in 1993 reflected non-deductible divestiture and restructuring
charges.
Net margins increased to 9.4%, the highest level since the company went
public in 1954.
1993 COMPARED TO 1992
RESULTS BY DIVISION
CAMPBELL U.S.A. - Operating earnings for Campbell U.S.A. were $605 million
in 1993 after special charges of $175 million, compared to $741 million in
1992. Before these charges, operating earnings grew 5% to $780 million.
F-3
14
Net sales were $4.1 billion in 1993, an increase of 2% over 1992. Soup
volume was up 2.5% despite one less week in fiscal 1993, with strong
performances by "Home Cookin'" and "Healthy Request" ready-to-serve soups.
In the frozen food business, "Swanson" kids' meals and "Great Start"
breakfast sandwiches turned in impressive volume gains. The newly
introduced "Pepperidge Farm" gravies delivered strong volume growth as did
Food Service frozen products and "Vlasic" pickles.
CAMPBELL BISCUIT AND BAKERY - The Biscuit and Bakery Division reported
operating earnings of $101 million after special charges of $5 million.
Before the charges, earnings rose 16% to $106 million. Net sales increased
23% to $999 million. These increases stem mainly from attaining 58%
ownership of Arnotts in fiscal 1993, which contributed $170 million in
sales in the year. Previously, the company owned 33% and accounted for its
investment on the equity method. Arnotts had strong earnings growth in the
year. Pepperidge Farm volume increased slightly for the year with sales
trends improving significantly in the fourth quarter led by the
introduction of "Goldfish" cookies and frozen garlic bread and rolls.
Earnings of Delacre in Europe were down because of a sluggish European
economy, the costs of starting up new production lines, and the
introduction of the new "Biscuits Maison de Delacre", patterned after
Pepperidge Farm's "American Collection" and Old Fashioned cookies.
CAMPBELL INTERNATIONAL - Campbell International reported an operating loss
of $62 million after special charges of $173 million. Before these
charges, operating earnings increased 21% over 1992 to $111 million, due
primarily to significant improvements in the United Kingdom and Germany.
Sales increased 3% to $1.58 billion from $1.54 billion. Both sales and
earnings benefited from the third quarter acquisition of "Fray Bentos", the
leading premium canned-meat brand in the United Kingdom, and from the
company's acquisition of the remaining 50 percent ownership of the Spring
Valley juice business in Australia.
STATEMENTS OF EARNINGS
Gross margins improved 2.1 percentage points to 38.8%, with improvement due
to higher selling prices, which contributed 1.7 points, and lower
manufacturing costs.
Marketing and selling expenses were 18.3% of net sales compared to 16.8% in
1992. The company continued to spend aggressively in support of its brands
and new product introductions.
Administrative expenses increased to 4.7% of sales from 4.5% a year ago,
principally due to accruals for management incentive programs because
earnings exceeded target levels.
Interest expense decreased in 1993 due principally to lower interest rates.
The increase in other expense resulted primarily from minority interest and
amortization of intangible assets related to Arnotts. The effective tax
rate was 50.5% compared to 38.6% in 1992. The principal reason for the
high rate for 1993 was that certain of the divestiture and restructuring
charges were not tax deductible. Excluding the effects of that program,
the effective tax rate for 1993 was 36.2%.
F-4
15
SPECIAL CHARGES
On January 28, 1993, the company's Board of Directors approved a
divestiture and restructuring program which specifically identified six
manufacturing plants to be closed and fourteen businesses to be sold. This
action was taken to consolidate high cost, underutilized plants into more
cost effective locations; and to prune out low return, non-strategic
businesses which were detracting from the company's earnings and returns
and were requiring an inordinate amount of management's time and attention.
At the time of the Board's approval, charges of $353 million, $300 million
after tax or $1.19 per share, were recorded for the estimated loss on
disposition of plant assets, cost of closing each plant and loss on each
business divestiture.
A summary of the original reserve and charges through July 31, 1994 is as
follows:
Original 1993 Balance 1994 Balance
Reserve Charges 8/1/93 Charges 7/31/94
------- --------- ------- -------- -------
Loss on disposal of assets $275 $(79) $196 $(66) $130
Severance and benefits 52 (10) 42 (18) 24
Other 26 (5) 21 (5) 16
----- ------ ------ ----- -----
Total $353 $(94) $259 $(89) $170
===== ====== ====== ===== =====
Current $153 $92 $170
Non-current 200 167 -
----- ------ -----
Total $353 $259 $170
===== ====== =====
Of the total charge of $353 million, non-cash charges of $275 million
represent the excess of net book value of plants to be closed and
businesses to be sold over the estimated sales proceeds. The balance of
the charges represents cash outflows of $78 million which occurred or are
expected to occur as follows: 1993 - $15 million, 1994 - $23 million, and
1995 - $40 million.
Four of the six plant closings have been completed. In lieu of closing,
one plant was restructured, principally through headcount reductions. Six
businesses were divested in 1993 and 1994 and the company plans to complete
the restructuring program in fiscal 1995.
The businesses to be divested represent approximately $382 million in
annual sales. The entire program anticipates an annual improvement in net
earnings of $28 million when fully implemented. This total includes
savings after tax of $19 million from direct labor and plant overhead
reductions and $6 million in non-cash savings principally from reductions
in depreciation and amortization. Cash outflows do not adversely affect
the company's liquidity.
F-5
16
Effective August 3, 1992, the company adopted Statements of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," and
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". The
after-tax effect of these accounting changes was a "one- time" charge to
1993 earnings of $249 million or $.99 per share. These accounting changes
are more fully described in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial
Statements.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Consistently strong cash flows, a strong balance sheet and an "AA" credit
rating demonstrate the company's continued superior financial strength.
CASH FLOWS FROM OPERATING ACTIVITIES provided $968 million in 1994, an
increase of $316 million or 48% over 1993. Over the last three years,
operating cash flow totaled $2.4 billion. This strong cash generating
capability provides the company substantial financial flexibility in
meeting operating and investing objectives.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES were $421 million in 1994, up $50 million from the
prior year due to a high level of cost savings projects, including
restructuring programs announced in the second quarter of 1993. Capital
expenditures are projected to reach $450 million in 1995.
ACQUISITIONS in 1994 totaled $14 million and included the Australian
mushroom business, Dandy Mushrooms, and the Australian canned-meat
business, "Fray Bentos".
LONG-TERM DEBT increased due to issuance of $100 million of notes bearing
an interest rate of 5.625% with a maturity in fiscal 2004.
SHORT-TERM BORROWINGS decreased by $235 million in 1994 due to strong
operating cash flow. The company retired $100 million of 9.125% notes
classified as current at the end of 1993.
The company has ample financial resources, including unused lines of credit
totaling $615 million and has ready access to financial markets around the
world. The pre-tax interest coverage ratio was 12.2 for 1994 compared to
10.0 in 1993, before special charges.
DIVIDEND payments increased $50 million or 23% to $266 million in 1994,
compared to $216 million in 1993. Dividends declared in 1994 totaled $1.09
per share, up from $.915 per share in 1993. The 1994 fourth quarter rate
was 28 cents.
COMMON STOCK REPURCHASES for the treasury totaled 4 million shares at a
cost of $145 million during 1994, compared to repurchases of 1.1 million
shares at a cost of $42 million in the same period for 1993. In July 1994,
the Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of an additional 7.5
million shares.
TOTAL ASSETS increased 2% to a record $5 billion during 1994. Accounts
receivable decreased $68 million as a result of a reduction in year-end
sales promotions and inventories were also down. However, fixed assets
increased because of heavy capital expenditures.
TOTAL LIABILITIES decreased $191 million or 6% with total borrowings down
$137 million and completion of $89 million of restructuring activities.
F-6
17
INFLATION
Inflation during recent years has not had a significant effect on the
company. The company attempts to mitigate the effects of inflation on
sales and earnings by increasing selling prices where appropriate and
aggressively pursuing an ongoing cost- improvement effort which includes
capital investments in more efficient plants and equipment and integrated
business systems. The divestiture and restructuring programs instituted
since 1988 have made the company a more cost-effective producer.

To the Shareowners and Directors
of Campbell Soup Company
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the
accompanying index present fairly, in all material respects, the financial
position of Campbell Soup Company and its subsidiaries at July 31, 1994 and
August 1, 1993, and results of their operations and their cash flows for
each of the three years in the period ended July 31, 1994 in conformity
with generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements
are the responsibility of the company's management; our responsibility is
to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the
audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements
are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test
basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial
statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable
basis for the opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Note 2, the company changed its methods of accounting
for income taxes, postretirement benefits and postemployment benefits in
1993.

CAMPBELL SOUP COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(MILLION DOLLARS)
1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
CONSOLIDATION - The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of the company and its majority-owned subsidiaries.
Significant intercompany transactions are eliminated in
consolidation. Investments of 20% or more in affiliates are
accounted for by the equity method.
FISCAL YEAR - The company's fiscal year ends on the Sunday nearest
July 3l. There were 52 weeks in fiscal 1994 and fiscal 1993 and 53
weeks in fiscal 1992.
INVENTORIES - Substantially all domestic inventories are priced at
the lower of cost or market, with cost determined by the last-in,
first-out (LIFO) method. Other inventories are priced at the lower
of average cost or market.
INTANGIBLES - The excess of cost of investments over net assets of
purchased companies is amortized on a straight-line basis over
periods not exceeding forty years.
PLANT ASSETS - Plant assets are stated at historical cost.
Alterations and major overhauls which extend the lives or increase
the capacity of plant assets are capitalized. The amounts for
property disposals are removed from plant asset and accumulated
depreciation accounts and any resultant gain or loss is included in
earnings. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are charged to operating
costs.
DEPRECIATION - Depreciation provided in costs and expenses is on the
straight-line method. Accelerated methods of depreciation are used
for income tax purposes in certain jurisdictions.
PENSION AND RETIREE BENEFIT PLANS - Costs are accrued over
employees' careers based on plan benefit formulas.
CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS - All highly liquid debt instruments
purchased with a maturity of three months or less are classified as
Cash equivalents.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS - In managing interest rate exposure, the
company at times enters into interest rate swap agreements. When
interest rates change, the difference to be paid or received is
accrued and recognized as interest expense over the life of the
agreement. In order to hedge foreign currency exposures on firm
commitments, the company at times enters into forward foreign
exchange contracts. Gains and losses resulting from these
instruments are recognized in the same period as the underlying
hedged transaction. The company also at times enters into foreign
currency swap agreements which are effective as hedges of net
investments in foreign subsidiaries. Realized and unrealized gains
and losses on these currency swaps are recognized in the Cumulative
translation adjustments account in Shareowners' equity. The fair
values of the company's financial instruments are estimated based on
quoted market prices for the same or similar issues.
F-15

INCOME TAXES - Deferred taxes are provided in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (FAS) No. 109 effective
in fiscal 1993. In fiscal 1992, deferred taxes were provided in
accordance with FAS No. 96.
2. ACCOUNTING CHANGES
In 1993, the company adopted Statements of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions," No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," and No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment
Benefits."
FAS No. 106 requires accrual of the cost of retiree health and life
insurance benefits during the years that employees render service.
These costs were previously expensed as claims were paid. The
company elected to recognize the effect of the transition liability
for past service costs by recording a one-time, non-cash charge
against 1993 earnings of $230 or $.91 per share. Adoption of FAS
No. 106 also decreased 1993 earnings per share by $.07 for the
pre-tax incremental annual charge and 1994 earnings per share by
$.08.
FAS No. 112 requires the company to account for postemployment
benefits on the accrual basis. The cumulative effect of this change
in accounting decreased 1993 net earnings by $22 or $.09 per share.
FAS No. 109 requires the company to recognize the benefit of certain
deferred tax assets, increasing 1993 net earnings by $3 or $.01 per
share.

divestiture and restructuring program which specifically identified
six manufacturing plants to be closed and fourteen businesses to be
sold. At the time of the Board's approval, charges of $353, $300
after tax or $1.19 per share, were recorded for the estimated loss
on disposition of plant assets, cost of closing each plant and loss
on each business divestiture.

Four of the six plant closings have been completed. In lieu of closing,
one plant was restructured, principally through headcount reductions.
Six businesses were divested in 1993 and 1994. The company plans to
complete the program in fiscal 1995.
7. ACQUISITIONS
During 1994, 1993 and 1992 the company made several acquisitions.
These acquisitions were accounted for as purchase transactions, and
operations of the acquired companies are included in the financial
statements from the dates the acquisitions were recorded. The costs
of these acquisitions were allocated as follows:
1994 1993 1992

--- ---- ---
$14 $262 $31
=== ==== ===
Acquisitions in 1994 consisted of the Australian mushroom business,
Dandy Mushrooms, and the Australian canned-meat business, "Fray Bentos".
During 1993, the company increased its ownership of Arnotts Limited,
Australia's leading biscuit manufacturer, to 58% from 33% prior to fiscal
1993. Therefore, beginning in the third quarter of fiscal 1993, Arnotts'
results were consolidated. Prior to this time, Campbell's investment in
Arnotts was accounted for by the equity method. Net sales and net
earnings for 1993 would have increased by $295 and $3, respectively, had
the increase in ownership of Arnotts occurred at August 3, 1992.

8. PENSION PLANS AND RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Pension Plans - Substantially all of the company's U.S. and certain
non-U.S. employees are covered by noncontributory defined benefit
pension plans. Plan benefits are generally based on years of
service and employees' compensation during the last years of
employment. Benefits are paid from funds previously provided to
trustees and insurance companies or are paid directly by the
company. Actuarial assumptions and plan provisions are reviewed
regularly by the company and its independent actuaries to ensure
that plan assets will be adequate to provide pension and survivor
benefits. Plan assets consist primarily of investments in common
stock, fixed income securities, real estate and money market funds.
Pension expense included the following:
1994 1993 1992
---- ------- -------
Benefits earned during the year $ 31 $ 26 $ 23
Interest cost 82 78 75
Net amortization and deferrals (7) 38 5
Actual return on plan assets (82) (115) (82)
---- ---- ----

------ ------
Prepaid pension expense $ 317 $ 269
====== ======
Pension coverage for employees of certain non-U.S. subsidiaries and
other supplemental pension benefits of the company are provided to the
extent determined appropriate through their respective plans. Obligations
under such plans are systematically provided for by depositing funds with
trusts or under insurance contracts. The assets and obligations of these
plans are not material.

Savings Plans - The company sponsors employee savings plans which
cover substantially all U.S. employees. After one year of
continuous service the company generally matches 50% of employee
contributions up to five percent of compensation. In fiscal 1994,
1993 and 1992 the company increased its contribution to 60% because
earnings goals were achieved. Amounts charged to costs and expenses
were $14 in 1994, $13 in 1993, and $12 in 1992.
Retiree Benefits - The company provides certain health care and
life insurance benefits (postretirement benefits) to substantially
all retired U.S. employees and their dependents. Employees who have
10 years of service after the age of 45 and retire from the company
are eligible to participate in the postretirement benefit plans.
Postretirement benefit expense was comprised of the following:
1994 1993
---- ----
Benefits earned during the year $19 $16
Interest cost 31 30
--- ---
Postretirement benefit expense $50 $46
=== ===
Healthcare claims and death benefits paid totaled $18 in 1994, $18
in 1993 and $16 in 1992.

1994 1993
--------- ----------
Actuarial present value of benefit obligations:
Retirees $285 $245
Fully eligible active plan participants 81 81
Other active plan participants 93 93
---- ----
Accumulated benefit obligation 459 419
Unrecognized net loss (38) (29)
---- ----
Accrued postretirement benefit liability $421 $390
==== ====
The discount rate used to determine the accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation was 8.25% in 1994 and 7.5% in 1993. The assumed
initial healthcare cost trend rate used to measure the accumulated
postretirement benefit obligation was 11.5%, declining to 6.0% over
a period of 11 years and continuing at 6.0% thereafter. A
one-percentage-point increase in the assumed healthcare cost trend
rate would have increased the 1994 accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation by $50 and postretirement benefit expense by $7.
Obligations related to non-U.S. postretirement benefit plans are not
significant since these benefits are generally provided through
government-sponsored plans.
Postretirement benefits payable in fiscal 1995 of $19 are included
in "Accrued liabilities."

The increases in the Non-U.S. current tax provision is primarily
attributable to the consolidation of Arnotts beginning in March
1993. The deferred tax credit in 1993 resulted principally from
charges for restructuring and other postretirement benefits.
The following is a reconciliation of effective income tax rates with
the U.S. Federal statutory income tax rate:

carryforwards of approximately $286 of which $7 relate to periods prior
to acquisition of the subsidiaries by the company. Of these
carryforwards, $215 expire in 1999, $28 expire through 2005 and $43 may
be carried forward indefinitely. The current statutory tax rates in
these countries range from 30% to 52%.
Income taxes have not been accrued on undistributed earnings of non-U.S.
subsidiaries of $344 which are invested in operating assets and are not
expected to be remitted. If remitted, tax credits are available to
substantially reduce any resultant additional taxes.

$3; and beyond - $425.
Future minimum capital lease payments are $63, including implicit
interest of $27.
Information on financial instruments follows:
The company has two primary objectives in using derivative financial
instruments. The first is to minimize interest expense within an
acceptable range of fixed to variable rate debt ratios. To meet
this objective, the company may enter into interest rate swaps which
effectively readjust the fixed to variable rate ratio in response to
changes in interest rates or the overall level of debt. The second
objective is to hedge economic exposures on specific foreign
currency transactions.
The company uses a mix of equity, intercompany debt and local
currency borrowings to finance its international subsidiaries. The
risk associated with currency exposure is balanced against the
objective of minimizing the overall cost of financing.
F-24
35
The company has entered into interest rate swap agreements with
financial institutions having a total notional principal of $300 at
July 31, 1994 and $200 at August 1, 1993. These were entered into
in order to reduce interest expense.
In addition, the company has several swap agreements with financial
institutions which cover both interest rates and foreign currencies.
These agreements had a total notional principal of $10 and $35 at
July 31, 1994 and August 1, 1993, respectively, and were entered
into to hedge Australian and European currency exposures arising
from strategies which replaced local currency debt with lower cost
financing from the U.S.
The cost to settle all interest and foreign currency swaps was $20
at July 31, 1994, of which $8 was accrued at year end. The company
is exposed to credit loss in the event of nonperformance by the
counter parties; however, the company does not anticipate any
nonperformance. The company's credit risk on swap transactions is
minimized by its policy of dealing only with leading, credit-worthy
financial institutions having long-term credit ratings of "A" or
better.
At July 31, 1994, the company had contracts to purchase or sell
approximately $31 in foreign currency versus $49 at August 1, 1993.
The contracts are mostly for Canadian and European currencies and
have maturities through 1995.

The company has authorized 280 million shares of Capital Stock of
$.075 par value and 40 million shares of Preferred Stock, issuable
in one or more classes, with or without par as may be authorized by
the Board of Directors. No Preferred Stock has been issued.
The Board of Directors authorized a 2-for-1 split of the company's
Capital Stock effective December 2, 1991. All shares and per share
amounts have been adjusted to reflect the stock split.
