        PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

The following unaudited pro forma condensed combined consolidated statements
of operations have been prepared to give effect to the acquisition of Meadow
Farms Limited which is described below.

On June 1, 2000, Horizon Organic Holding Corporation ("Horizon" or
"Company"), through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired all of the
outstanding and issued stock of Meadow Farms Limited ("Meadow Farms")
(hereinafter, the "Acquisition"). Meadow Farms was a private company
incorporated in England and Wales, and is based in Devon, England. The
Acquisition includes Meadow Farms' wholly owned subsidiary, Organic Dairies
Limited ("ODL"), which operates a processing and packaging plant that
produces fluid milk in plastic bottles and paperboard cartons. ODL processes
all of the organic milk marketed and sold by Meadow Farms.

The transaction has been accounted for as a purchase and the results of
operations of Meadow Farms are included in the operations of the Company
beginning June 1, 2000. The pro forma condensed combined statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1999 and for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 assume the Acquisition was consummated on January 1, 1999.

In management's opinion, all material adjustments necessary to reflect the
transactions are presented in the pro forma adjustments for the year ended
December 31, 1999, and the six months ended June 30, 2000, which are based
upon available information. The pro forma statements do not purport to
present the Company's results of operations that would have resulted had the
acquisition been consummated as of the date or for the periods indicated and
do not purport to project the Company's results of operations at any future
date or for any future period, and should be read in conjunction with the
Company's condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three
and six months ended June 30, 2000 included in its Form 10-Q and the
Company's consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1999 included in its annual report on Form 10-K.

    NOTES TO PRO FORMA CONDENSED COMBINED CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS

                                   (UNAUDITED)

(1)  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On June 1, 2000, Horizon Organic Holding Corporation (the "Company") acquired
all of the outstanding and issued stock of Meadow Farms Limited ("Meadow
Farms"), a private company incorporated in England and Wales, for
approximately $23.9 million in cash plus Acquisition costs of $1.3 million.
The acquisition included Meadow Farm's wholly owned subsidiary, Organic
Dairies Limited, which operates a processing and packaging plant that
produces fluid milk which is marketed and sold by Meadow Farms. The
acquisition was accounted for as a purchase and the excess of cost over the
fair value of acquired net tangible assets of approximately $24.2 million was
recognized as intangible assets and is being amortized on a straight-line
basis generally over 15 years. The acquisition was financed with the proceeds
from a $25 million Senior Secured Term Note with an annual interest rate of
LIBOR plus a varying margin spread of 1.65% to 2.5% (9.15% at June 30, 2000).

(2)  PRO FORMA ADJUSTMENTS

     The following pro forma adjustments give effect to the Acquisition of
Meadow Farms as of January 1, 1999.

     (a)  Reflects the elimination of discretionary bonuses paid to the former
          owners and related parties of Meadow Farms. These bonuses will not
          be paid after the Acquisition.

     (b)  Reflects the amortization of intangible assets recorded as a result of
          the Acquisition. The excess of cost over the fair value of acquired
          net tangible assets of approximately $24.2 million is being
          amortized on a straight-line basis generally over 15 years.

     (c)  Reflects the increase in interest expense due to the $25 million
          Senior Secured Term Note obtained to finance the Meadow Farms
          acquisition at an assumed interest rate of 9.15%.

     (d)  Reflects the adjustment for income tax expense. This adjustment
          assumes a tax deduction in the United Kingdom for interest relating
          to the $18 million of intercompany debt due from Meadow Farms to
          the Company computed at an annual rate of 9.15%. This adjustment
          also assumes that the tax benefit computed will be realized by
          Meadow Farms for the six months ended June 30, 2000.

REPORT OF THE AUDITORS TO THE MEMBERS OF MEADOW FARMS LIMITED


We have audited the financial statements on pages 5 to 15.

RESPECTIVE RESPONSIBILITIES OF DIRECTORS AND AUDITORS

The directors are responsible for preparing the directors' report and the
financial statements in accordance with applicable United Kingdom law and
accounting standards. Our responsibilities, as independent auditors, are
established in the United Kingdom by statute, the Auditing Practices Board
and by our profession's ethical guidance.

We report to you our opinion as to whether the financial statements give a true
and fair view and are properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act. We
also report to you if, in our opinion, the directors' report is not consistent
with the financial statements, if the company has not kept proper accounting
records, if we have not received all the information and explanations we require
for our audit, or if information specified by law regarding directors'
remuneration and transactions with the company is not disclosed.

We read the other information accompanying the financial statements and consider
whether it is consistent with those statements. We consider the implications for
our report if we become aware of any apparent misstatements or material
inconsistencies with the financial statements.

BASIS OF OPINION

We conducted our audit in accordance with Auditing Standards issued by the
Auditing Practices Board. An audit includes examination, on a test basis, of
evidence relevant to the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. It
also includes an assessment of the significant estimates and judgements made by
the directors in the preparation of the financial statements, and of whether the
accounting policies are appropriate to the company's circumstances, consistently
applied and adequately disclosed.

We planned and performed our audit so as to obtain all the information and
explanations which we considered necessary in order to provide us with
sufficient evidence to give reasonable assurance that the financial statements
are free from material misstatement, whether caused by fraud or other
irregularity or error. In forming our opinion we also evaluated the overall
adequacy of the presentation of information in the financial statements.

OPINION

In our opinion the financial statements give a true and fair view of the state
of the company's affairs as at 31 May 2000 and of its profit for the year then
ended and have been properly prepared in accordance with the Companies Act 1985.


                                                                 10 August 2000

NOTES
(FORMING PART OF THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS)


1    ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The following accounting policies have been applied consistently in dealing with
items which are considered material in relation to the company's financial
statements.

BASIS OF PREPARATION

The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with applicable
accounting standards and under the historical cost accounting rules.

GOODWILL

Purchased goodwill (representing the excess of the fair value of the
consideration given over the fair value of the separable net assets acquired)
arising on business combinations in respect of acquisitions since 1 January 1998
is capitalised. Positive goodwill is amortised to nil by equal annual
instalments over its estimated useful life of 15 years.

FIXED ASSETS AND DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is provided to write off the cost less the estimated residual value
of tangible fixed assets by equal instalments over their estimated useful
economic lives as follows:

Plant and machinery                 -       25% reducing balance basis
Processing equipment                -       25% reducing balance basis

GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Capital based government grants are included within accruals and deferred income
in the balance sheet and credited to operating profit over the estimated useful
economic lives of the assets to which they relate.

STOCKS

Stocks are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. In determining
the cost of raw materials, consumables and goods purchased for resale, the
weighted average purchase price is used. For work in progress and finished goods
cost is taken as production cost, which includes an appropriate proportion of
attributable overheads.

                                     F-10

NOTES (CONTINUED)


TAXATION

The charge for taxation is based on the profit for the year and takes into
account taxation deferred because of timing differences between the treatment of
certain items for taxation and accounting purposes. Provision is made for
deferred tax only to the extent that it is probable that an actual liability
will crystallise.

Advance corporation tax recoverable by deduction from future corporation tax is
carried forward within deferred taxation or as ACT recoverable within debtors as
appropriate.

TURNOVER

Turnover represents the amounts (excluding value added tax) derived from the
provision of goods and services to customers.
