(1)    IFF acquired Bush Boake Allen ("BBA"), effective November 3, 2000,
       and the BBA operating results are included in IFF's consolidated
       results from that date.

(2)    BBA results from the beginning of the year to November 3, 2000, the
       date of acquisition, are included in the respective periods.

(3)    To eliminate intercompany sales between IFF and BBA for the period
       from the beginning of the year to November 3, 2000, the date of
       acquisition. For purposes of computing the individual quarter
       eliminations, the full year amount was allocated on a pro rata
       basis. Post-acquisition, intercompany sales are eliminated in
       arriving at the IFF historical results.

(4)    To eliminate cost of goods sold relating to intercompany sales and
       account for related estimated profit that remains in inventory. For
       purposes of computing the individual quarter eliminations, the full
       year amount was allocated on a pro rata basis.

(5)    To reflect the recognition of incremental interest expense on
       additional borrowings of approximately $970.0 million, equal to the
       cash consideration exchanged in the acquisition. Interest expense
       was calculated using an average interest rate of 6.7%. The interest
       rate reflects IFF's average borrowing rate during the year.

(6)    To reflect the amortization of goodwill and other intangibles
       resulting from the preliminary allocation of the excess of
       consideration over the net assets of BBA. Other intangible assets
       include patents, trademarks and other intellectual property owned or
       developed by BBA, the value of which is being amortized over periods
       ranging from 10 to 20 years. Under current accounting rules, IFF
       would expect the amount of excess consideration allocated to
       goodwill to be amortized over 20 years. In December 2000, the
       Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) reached a tentative
       decision to use the nonamortization approach to account for
       purchased goodwill. Under the revised proposal, goodwill would not
       be amortized annually, but instead would be reviewed for impairment
       and written down (expensed against earnings) when the carrying value
       of the goodwill exceeds its fair value. The final standard has not
       been issued and the proposed approach may change.

(7)   To reflect the tax effect, as appropriate, of the pro forma adjustments.

(8)    Reflects the reclassification of shipping and handling costs from
       Selling expense to Cost of goods sold in accordance with guidance
       established by Emerging Issues Task Force No. 00-10, "Accounting for
       Shipping and Handling Fees and Costs." This change in classification
       was made by IFF in the 4th quarter 2000 and does not affect the
       reported BBA historical amounts.
