                    PM HOLDINGS CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
             NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS - UNAUDITED

1.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

PM Holdings Corporation ("Holdings") acquired Purina Mills, Inc. ("Purina
Mills" or the "Company") in September 1993.  On March 15, 1995, the Company
acquired Golden Sun Acquisition Company ("Golden Sun"), the parent company of
Golden Sun Feeds, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries.  As used herein,
the term "Company" refers to Purina Mills, Inc. and its subsidiaries.  Unless
the context otherwise requires, the term "Holdings" refers to PM Holdings
Corporation and its subsidiaries.  Holdings has no subsidiaries other than
the Company and conducts no business other than that of the Company.

The consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 1996 and the consolidated
statements of operations and cash flows for all periods presented are
unaudited and reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items,
which management considers necessary for a fair presentation.  Operating
results for the fiscal 1996 interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results to be expected for the fiscal year ending December 31, 1996.  The
consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 1995 was derived from the
Holdings' December 31, 1995 audited financial statements, but does not
include all disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles.

Although Holdings believes the disclosures are adequate, certain information
and disclosures normally included in the notes to the financial statements
have been condensed or omitted as permitted by the rules and regulations of
the Securities and Exchange Commission.  The accompanying unaudited financial
statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements
contained in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
1995.

2.  SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements of Holdings include the accounts of all
majority-owned subsidiaries.  All significant intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period consolidated
financial statements to conform to the consolidated financial statement
presentation at September 30, 1996 and for the three and nine months then
ended.

Net Loss per Common Share

Net loss per common share for the three and nine months ended September 30,
1996 and 1995 is computed based on the weighted average number of common
shares outstanding during the period.  Such number of shares represents the
average outstanding shares, net of the shares held by the Employee Stock
Ownership Plan (the "ESOP") and not allocated to employees (the "Unreleased
Shares").

For purposes of computing net loss per common share, net loss has been
increased by an amount equal to the fair market value of Released Shares (as
hereinafter defined) at the end of the period, minus the sum of the amount
previously recognized as compensation expense with respect to Released Shares
and the amount of appreciation in value of Released Shares in prior periods.
"Released Shares" are shares held by the ESOP but allocated to employees.
The weighted average number of outstanding shares and computation of the net
loss per common share is as follows:

4.  PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

During the first nine months of 1996 the Company made the decision to
discontinue all manufacturing operations at seven of its facilities.
Products for distribution to customers of these closed facilities will be
manufactured at the Company's other facilities.  Under Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 121 ("SFAS 121"), the Company has recorded a loss of
$9.3 million on these manufacturing assets, representing the amount by which
the book value exceeds the estimated net realizable value.  The value of the
assets awaiting disposition is based on estimates of Company management.
Demolition costs of $.8 million and a write-off of $3.9 million for related
goodwill was also recorded.  The total $14.0 million expense is included in
other (income) expense in the financial statement for the nine month period
ended September 30, 1996.

5.  LONG-TERM DEBT

The Company is required to make annual supplemental repayments under its
$130.0 million seven-year term loan (the "Senior Term Loan") with a group of
lending banks, in amounts equal to 50% of Excess Cash Flow as defined in the
Credit Agreement.  The annual supplemental repayment of $9.8 million for the
year 1995 was paid on April 30, 1996.

6.  COMMON STOCK HELD BY THE ESOP

Common stock held by the ESOP (100,000 shares at December 31, 1995 and
115,296 shares at September 30, 1996) and valued at its fair market value has
been classified outside of permanent equity as, under certain conditions,
participants may require the Company to purchase for cash common stock
distributed to them by the ESOP.  The unearned compensation, being the fair
market value of Unreleased Shares of approximately $3.6 million at September
30, 1996 and $1.5 million at December 31, 1995, is presented in the
consolidated balance sheet as a reduction to common stock held by the ESOP.
The increase in unearned compensation is due to the purchase of additional
shares of common stock by the ESOP in 1996.  Funds for such purchase were
primarily from proceeds of $6.2 million in loans from the Company to the
ESOP.

            ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
                      CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Overview

The Company develops, manufactures and markets a comprehensive line of animal
nutrition products for dairy cattle, beef cattle, hogs, horses and poultry,
as well as specialty feeds for rabbits, zoo animals, birds, fish and pets.
For the year ended December 31, 1995 the product-mix by volume was
approximately 25% for dairy cattle, 29% for beef cattle, 21% for hogs, 7% for
horses, 8% for poultry and 10% for all others.

The feed industry generally prices products on the basis of aggregate
ingredient cost plus a dollar amount margin, rather than a gross margin
percentage.  As ingredient prices fluctuate, the changes are generally passed
on to customers through weekly changes in the Company's price lists.  Feed
tonnage and total income over ingredient cost ("IOIC"), which is net sales
minus cost of ingredients, and gross profit (IOIC less manufacturing costs),
rather than sales dollars, are the key indicators of performance because of
the distortions in sales dollars caused by changes in commodity prices and
product-mix between complete feed and concentrate products, to which
customers add their own base ingredients, such as corn and other grains.
When the price of grains has been relatively high, more of the Company's
customers have tended to purchase complete rations and the Company's sales
volume has been higher.  When the price of grains has been relatively low,
more of the Company's customers have tended to use their own grains and mix
them with the Company's higher-margin concentrates, resulting in lower sales
volume but relatively higher overall unit margins.

Three Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Three Months Ended
September 30, 1995

Gross profit decreased $2.9 million to $40.2 million, a decline of 6.7% from
the comparable 1995 period.  Average feed IOIC per ton was $62.65, a .5%
increase over the three-month period ended September 30, 1995.  Overall
volume was 1.12 million tons during the quarter ended September 30, 1996, a
4.5% decrease compared to the 1995 period, as product sale decreases in beef
cattle and specialty more than offset modest increases in product sales
related to all other species.

Beef cattle tons decreased 26.0% from the 1995 period due primarily to the
significant decrease in cattle in feedlots and favorable grazing conditions
in the southwest in 1996.  Dairy cattle tons increased 2.1% but IOIC per ton
decreased 3.1% due to a product-mix shift toward complete products caused by
shortages of corn and other grains.  Hog volume increased 2.0% and IOIC per
ton also increased 1.1% as prices for end-products remained strong.

<PAGE> 11

Laying chicken and meatbird volume increased 13.6% compared to the 1995
period and reflects the Company's lease of a plant in Wisconsin and the
corresponding supply agreement for the manufacture of duck feed.  Horse
volume increased 8.3% over the 1995 period, continuing its growth and
reflecting the aggressive promotion of these products.  Specialty and other
volume decreased 4.4% from the 1995 period primarily as a result of the high
commodity prices.

Cost of products sold increased $50.3 million over the 1995 period,
reflecting the large increase in ingredient costs.  Manufacturing expenses
decreased $1.4 million reflecting lower volume and the continued emphasis on
cost control.  The total of marketing, distribution and advertising, general
and administrative, and research and development costs also decreased $.9
million.

Other (income) expense for the 1996 period includes a $10.5 million loss on
the write-down of various manufacturing facilities and related goodwill.
This is offset by $.8 million of income related to service fees and profits
from marketing arrangements and joint venture income.  For the comparable
1995 period, service fees and profits from marketing arrangements and joint
ventures approximated $.4 million which was offset by a $1.5 million
reorganization charge and $.3 million of costs attributable to the aborted
Ralston international agri-business acquisition.

Interest expense decreased as a result of a lower debt level and an
approximate .4% decrease in the interest rate on the Senior Term Loan from
1995, offset partially by increased accretion on the Discount Debentures
(defined below).

The Company's 1996 income tax benefit is less than the amount at the
statutory rate due to the amortization and write-off of goodwill not being
allowed as a tax deduction and the loss of state tax benefits attributable
to the interest expense deduction for the accretion of discount on Holdings
11 1/2% Series B Subordinated Discount Debentures due 2005 (the "Discount
Debentures").

Nine Months Ended September 30, 1996 Compared to Nine Months Ended
September 30, 1995

Gross profit decreased $5.1 million to $126.6 million, a decline of 3.9% from
the comparable 1995 period.  Average feed IOIC per ton was $60.24,
approximately equal to the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995.
Overall volume was 3.6 million tons during both nine-month periods ended
September 30, 1996 and 1995.  Increases in 1996 product sales volume in
dairy, hog and horse offset decreases in beef cattle, poultry, meatbird,
specialty and other.

Beef cattle tons decreased 1.1% from the 1995 period as a result of the
decrease in feedlot cattle numbers and the favorable grazing conditions
during the third quarter of 1996.  IOIC on cattle tons also decreased 5.1%
per ton due to the significant increase

                                    11
<PAGE> 12
in commodity prices. Dairy cattle tons increased slightly with IOIC per ton
decreasing 6.7% due to a product-mix shift toward complete products and price
pressures caused by unusually high commodity prices.  Hog volume increased 3.1%
due to the addition of Golden Sun with IOIC per ton also increasing 1.6% due
primarily to the higher unit margin of Golden Sun products.

Laying chicken and meatbird volume decreased 8.0% compared to the 1995 period
and reflects the termination of the lease of a plant manufacturing poultry
products in the third quarter of 1995.  Horse volume increased 5.7% over the
1995 period, continuing its growth and reflecting the aggressive promotion of
these products.  Specialty and other volume decreased 2.0% over the 1995
period due primarily to the high cost of ingredients.

Cost of products sold increased $162.0 million over the 1995 period,
reflecting the unusually large increase in ingredient costs.  Manufacturing
expenses also increased $2.0 million, with the overall cost reductions of
$1.5 million being offset by a $1.5 million increase attributable to the
additional Golden Sun business and operating its facilities in 1996 plus a
$2.0 million increase in depreciation expense.  The total of marketing,
distribution and advertising, general and administrative, and research and
development costs increased $1.8 million as the expense for the 1996 period
included the additional costs associated with the Golden Sun operations.  The
expense for the 1996 period also includes additional severance expense of
$1.2 million related to the plant closings and other personnel reductions.

Other (income) expense for the 1996 period includes the $14.0 million loss on
the write-down of the various manufacturing facilities.  This is offset by
$2.7 million of income related to service fees and profits from marketing
arrangements and joint venture income.  For the comparable 1995 period,
service fees and profits from marketing arrangements and joint ventures
approximated break-even with the $3.7 million loss primarily representing
costs associated with the aborted Ralston international agri-business
acquisition and the 1995 reorganization.

Interest expense decreased as a result of a lower debt level and an
approximate .6% decrease in the interest rate on the Senior Term Loan over
1995, offset partially by increased accretion on the Discount Debentures.

The Company's income tax benefit is less than the amount at the statutory
rate in 1996 due to the amortization and write-off of goodwill not being
allowed as a tax deduction and the loss of state tax benefits attributable to
the interest expense deduction for the accretion of discount on Holdings
Discount Debentures.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

For the nine months ended September 30, 1996, net cash provided by operations
before the effects of changes in operating assets and liabilities was $31.7
million, compared to $40.2 million in the 1995 period.  The 1996 decrease was
primarily due to reduced operating income.

The Credit Agreement between the Company and a group of lending banks (The
"Credit Agreement") contains covenants that require the Company to limit
capital expenditures to $20.0 million per year.  These expenditures are
permitted subject to compliance with certain financial covenants and may be
increased under certain conditions.  As a result of the annual supplemental
repayment based on Excess Cash Flow, the Company's capital expenditure
allowance is increased by approximately $9.8 million for the period May 1,
1996 to April 30, 1997.  The Company currently anticipates that its total
1996 capital expenditures will approximate $22.0 million, inclusive of
approximately $12.1 million allocated for construction of new plants in
Statesville, NC and Hagerstown, MD.  The Company plans to fund capital
expenditures by using internally generated funds, borrowings from the sale of
industrial revenue bonds ("IRBs") and, if necessary, borrowings under the
Revolving Credit Facility created pursuant to the Credit Agreement.  The
Credit Agreement was amended on June 28, 1996 to increase the borrowing
capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility from $50.0 million to $65.0
million.  At September 30, 1996 the Company had approximately $11.1 million
in cash and cash equivalents on hand, and approximately $13.9 million (after
giving effect to borrowing base limitations) was available for borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility.

Net cash used in investing activities for purchases of property, plant and
equipment was $13.1 million for the nine-months ended September 30, 1996
compared to $13.9 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 1995.
In March 1995 the Company purchased all of the outstanding stock of Golden
Sun.  Proceeds for the purchase were obtained from a borrowing of $45.0
million under its Senior Term Loan and a borrowing of $15.0 million under the
Revolving Credit Facility.

Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30,
1996 includes debt repayments of $23.4 million as compared to $19.0 million
for the comparable 1995 period.  Additionally, the Company loaned $6.2
million to the ESOP for the purchase of shares of common stock from existing
shareholders in 1996 versus a loan of $4.0 million for a similar transaction
in 1995.

The Company's cash and cash equivalents decreased from the amount at year-end
as a result of the repayment of $23.4 million in debt, the loan to the ESOP,
and the normal decrease in prepaid feed purchases from such amount at
year-end.  The Company operates with a relatively low working capital level
because a majority of its sales are made on terms whereby customers receive a
3% discount if payment is received

                                    13
<PAGE> 14
immediately upon shipment of feed products, and raw ingredients are normally
purchased shortly prior to manufacturing and shipment.

Holdings' liquidity needs have been and will continue to be met through
internally generated funds, IRBs, and, to the extent necessary, borrowings
under the Revolving Credit Facility.  Holdings and the Company's ability to
obtain additional financing in the future for working capital, capital
expenditures, acquisitions and general corporate purposes, should they need
to do so, may be affected by cash requirements for debt service.  The Credit
Agreement and the Indenture relating to the Company's 10 1/2% Senior
Subordinated Notes due 2003 (the "Notes Indenture") contain numerous
financial and operating covenants, including, but not limited to,
restrictions on the Company's ability to incur indebtedness, pay dividends,
create liens, sell assets, engage in mergers and acquisitions, and refinance
existing indebtedness.  The Indenture relating to the Discount Debentures
(the "Debenture Indenture") and Holdings' guaranty of the Credit Agreement
have covenants binding Holdings that restrict similar types of matters.
Holdings and the Company's ability to meet their debt service obligations and
to comply with the terms of these covenants depends on the future performance
of the Company.

The Credit Agreement requires that half of Excess Cash Flow (as defined) be
used to repay the Senior Term Loan, with the remaining Excess Cash Flow
available for use for additional capital expenditures, for acquisitions or
for other purposes.  The first mandatory supplemental repayment of Excess
Cash Flow was for the period from September 1, 1993 to December 31, 1994 and
totaled $17.9 million.  In 1994 the Company made a $12.0 million prepayment
with the remaining annual supplemental repayment of $5.9 million being paid
on May 1, 1995.  The next supplemental repayment for the year 1995 totaled
$9.8 million and was paid on April 30, 1996.

The Credit Agreement, the Notes Indenture and the Debenture Indenture contain
provisions that restrict the payment of advances and loans from the Company
to Holdings.  Holdings conducts no business other than its ownership of the
Company's common stock.  Holdings has no direct funded debt obligation other
than the Discount Debentures.  As those Discount Debentures do not require
any cash payments of debt service prior to 2001, the restrictive covenants
described above should not limit Holdings' ability to meet its obligations.
