Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- - ------------------------------------------

These interim statements and management's related discussion and analysis
should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and
their related notes, and management's discussion and analysis of results of
operations and financial condition included in the Company's 1993 Annual
Report to Shareholders.

Effective January 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 115, Accounting For Certain Debt and Equity
Securities, classifying all marketable securities as available for sale.  The
effect of adopting this standard was not material.

The financial statements at and for the period ended March 31, 1994 include
the balances and results of operations of the Company's 80% owned joint
venture, International Flavors & Fragrances (Hangzhou) Co., Ltd.  The
inclusion of these accounts was not material to the Company's financial
condition and results of operations.

In the opinion of the Company's management, all normal recurring adjustments
necessary for a fair statement of the results for the interim periods have
been made.

Earnings per share were calculated on the basis of the average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the applicable period.  Earnings per
share amounts reflect the three-for-one split distributed on January 19, 1994
to shareholders of record on December 28, 1993.

Operations

Worldwide net sales for the first quarter of 1994 increased 5% over the prior
year to $323,537,000 with sales increases in both flavor and fragrance
products.  The sales increase in the first quarter of 1994 was unfavorably
affected by translating European currencies into the stronger U.S. dollar; if
the dollar exchange rate had remained the same during 1994 and 1993, the sales
increase for the quarter would have approximated 8%.

Earnings per share for the first quarter of 1994 increased 8% to $.53 from
$.49 in the prior year quarter.  Average shares of common stock outstanding in
the first quarter of 1994 were 111,883,000, compared with 114,807,000 for the
same period in 1993.  This reduction was mainly a result of the Company's
share repurchase program.  Net income for the first quarter 1994 was
$58,941,000, an increase of 5% from 1993.  The profit growth recorded by the
Company was primarily the result of the sales increase for the period.



                                                                               
                                                                            5 
 
The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating expenses
to sales for the first quarter 1994 and 1993 remained fairly constant,
especially on an overall basis:

                                                     First Quarter
                                                     -------------

                                                   ----          ----
         Cost of Goods Sold                        51.2%         51.5%
         Research and Development Exp.              6.0%          6.1%
         Selling and Administrative Exp.           15.1%         15.6%



Interest expense was $6,165,000 for the first quarter of 1994, compared to
$3,226,000 for the same period in 1993.  The higher interest expense in 1994
resulted mainly from the higher level of borrowings and higher interest rates
in Brazil.  In both 1994 and 1993, the borrowing levels in Brazil generated
significant offsetting exchange gains which were included in Other Income.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter 1994 was 37.3% as compared to
37.1% for the same period in 1993.

Financial Condition

The financial condition of the Company continued to be strong during the first
quarter.  Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totalled
$287,991,000 at March 31, 1994.  At March 31, 1994, working capital was
$680,654,000 compared to $652,436,000 at December 31, 1993.  Gross additions
to property, plant and equipment during the first quarter of 1994 were
$16,200,000.  In January 1994, the Company's cash dividend was increased 8% to
an annual rate of $1.08 per share, and $.27 per share was paid to shareholders
in the first quarter.  The Company anticipates that its growth, capital
expenditure programs and share repurchase program will be funded from internal
sources.

The cumulative translation adjustment component of Shareholders' Equity at
March 31, 1994 was  $13,809,000 compared to $448,000 at December 31, 1993. 
Changes in the component result from translating the net assets of the
majority of the Company's foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at current
exchange rates as required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 52 on accounting for foreign currency translation.
