                         DREYER'S GRAND ICE CREAM, INC.

                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - General:

   Dreyer's Grand Ice Cream, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the "Company") is a
single segment industry company engaged in the business of manufacturing and
distributing premium ice cream and other frozen dairy products.

The consolidated financial statements for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods ended July 1, 1995, and June 25, 1994, have not been audited by
independent public accountants, but include all adjustments, such as normal
recurring accruals, which management considers necessary for a fair
presentation of the consolidated operating results for the periods.  The
statements have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and
regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Accordingly, certain
information and footnote disclosure normally included in financial statements
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles have been
condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations.  The operating
results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be
expected for an entire year.  The aforementioned statements should be read in
conjunction with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1994, appearing in the Company's 1994 Annual Report to
Stockholders.


NOTE 2 - Financial Statement Presentation:

   Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior period financial
statements in order to conform to the current presentation.


NOTE 3 - Inventories:

   Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in,
first-out method) or market.  Inventories at July 1, 1995 and December 31, 1994

NOTE 4 - Net Income Per Share:

   Net income per common share is computed using the weighted average number of
shares of common stock outstanding during the period which were 13,387,000 and
13,679,000 shares for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six weeks ended July 1,
1995 and 14,380,000 and 14,539,000 shares for the thirteen weeks and twenty-six
weeks ended June 25, 1994. The potentially dilutive effect of the Company's
convertible subordinated debentures and other common stock equivalents was
anti-dilutive for the thirteen and twenty-six week periods ended July 1, 1995
and June 25, 1994. Accordingly, fully diluted net income per share is not
presented.

NOTE 5 - Common Stock:

   The Company's previously announced common stock repurchase program was
completed during the quarter.  During the first two quarters of 1995 the
Company repurchased and retired 1,291,000 shares of its common stock at prices
ranging from $28.63 to $34.25 per share.  Under the program the Company
repurchased 5,000,000 shares of its common stock at an average cost of $25.60 
per share.  In addition, during the first two quarters of 1995 the Company
repurchased and retired 26,000 shares of its common stock at prices ranging
from $24.50 to $30.00 per share from employees who previously acquired shares
under employee stock plans.

NOTE 6 - Subsequent Event:

   On August 8, 1995, the Company converted $100,752,000 of 6.25% convertible
subordinated debentures into 1,008,000 shares of redeemable, convertible Series
B Preferred Stock, due June 30, 2001.  On the conversion date, the Company had
$2,538,000 of unamortized debenture issuance costs which will be recorded as a 
charge against the carrying value of this preferred stock.  As was the case
with the convertible subordinated debentures, the Series B Preferred Stock is
convertible, under certain conditions, into a total of 1,008,000 shares of
redeemable, convertible Series A Preferred Stock, due June 30, 2001.
Additionally, as was the case with the debentures, both the Series A and 
Series B Preferred Stock are convertible, under certain conditions, at an 
initial conversion price of $34.74 into a total of 2,900,000 shares of common 
stock and can be called for early redemption after December 15, 1997, subject 
to certain limitations.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Thirteen Weeks ended July 1, 1995 Compared with Thirteen Weeks ended June 25,
1994

   The Company embarked on a five year plan during the second quarter of 1994
to accelerate the sales of its Company brands by greatly increasing its
consumer marketing efforts and expanding its distribution system into
additional markets (the Strategic Plan).  Under the Strategic Plan, the Company
increased the amount of its spending for advertising and consumer promotion
from $11,486,000 in 1993 to $40,287,000 in 1994, and plans to spend
approximately $50,000,000 annually on these marketing activities from 1995
through 1998.  In 1994, the Company began selling its products for the first
time in the Texas and New England markets as well as in several cities in the
southern United States, and has continued to expand into additional geographic
markets in 1995.  The Company anticipates that the Strategic Plan will continue
to materially reduce earnings during 1995 and some portion of 1996 below levels
that would have been attained under the former business plan. The potential
benefits of the new strategy are increased market share and future earnings
above those levels that would be attained in the absence of the strategy.  The
Company believes that these benefits are not likely to impact its results until
1996 at the earliest, and no assurance can be given that the anticipated
benefits of the strategy will be achieved.  The success of the strategy will
depend upon, among other things, consumer responsiveness to the increased
marketing expenditures, competitors' activities and general economic
conditions.

Consolidated net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased 27% to
$188,083,000 compared with $147,727,000 for the same period last year.  Sales
of the Company's brands increased 23%.  The increase related primarily to
higher unit sales of the Company's established brands in all markets led by
Dreyer's and Edy's Fat Free Ice Cream and Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Ice Cream.
Sales of products purchased from other manufacturers (partner brands) increased
32%, led by frozen novelty and ice cream products from Nestle Ice Cream
Company.  Sales of partner brands represented 36% of consolidated net sales as
compared with 35% in the second quarter of 1994.  The effect of price increases
for the Company's brands and partner brands was not significant.

Cost of goods sold increased $35,379,000, or 32%, over the second quarter of
1995, while the overall gross margin decreased from 25.8% in the second quarter
of 1994 to 22.9% in the second quarter of 1995.  The decrease in gross margin
was largely due to a relative increase in sales of partner brands which carry
a lower margin than Company brands, combined with slightly higher distribution
expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 1995 were
$3,711,000, or 10%, lower than in the same period of 1994.  This decrease
related primarily to a decrease in overall marketing expenses of $2,424,000
compared with the same quarter in the prior year.

Interest expense increased $571,000, or 24%, over the second quarter of 1994
due primarily to increased borrowings under the Company's line of credit.

Income taxes increased $3,282,000, reflecting a higher pre-tax income, while
the effective tax rate increased from 38.8% for the second quarter of 1994 to
39.3% for the second quarter of 1995.

Twenty-six Weeks ended July 1, 1995 Compared with Twenty-six Weeks ended 
June 25, 1994

   Consolidated net sales for the twenty-six weeks ended July 1, 1995 increased
27% to $329,338,000 compared with $259,728,000 for the same period last year.
Sales of the Company's brands increased 23%.  The increase related primarily to
higher unit sales of the Company's established brands in all markets due to
substantially higher advertising and consumer promotion spending under the
Company's Strategic Plan.  The products that led this increase were Dreyer's
and Edy's Fat Free Ice Cream and Dreyer's and Edy's Grand Ice Cream.  Sales of
products purchased from other manufacturers increased 31%, led by frozen
novelty and ice cream products from Nestle Ice Cream Company.  Sales of partner
brands represented 36% of consolidated net sales as compared with 35% in the
same period last year.  The effect of price increases for the Company's brands
and partner brands was not significant.

Cost of goods sold increased $58,858,000, or 30%, as compared with 1994, while
the overall gross margin decreased from 23.6% to 21.9% in 1995. The decrease in
gross margin was largely due to a relative increase in sales of partner brands
which carry a lower margin than Company brands, combined with slightly higher
distribution expenses.

Selling, general and administrative expenses in the first two quarters of 1994
increased $4,051,000 or 7% as compared with the same period in 1994.  This
increase related primarily to an increase in overall marketing expenses of
$3,975,000.

Interest expense in the first two quarters of 1995 was $605,000, or 13%, higher
than in the same period in the prior year due primarily to increased borrowings
under the Company's long term line of credit.

Income taxes increased $2,488,000 reflecting a higher pre-tax income, while the
effective tax rate increased from 38.8% for the first two quarters of 1994 to
39.3% for the first two quarters of 1995.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

   Working capital at July 1, 1995 increased $19,769,000 from year end 1994 due
primarily to the seasonal increase in trade accounts receivable, other accounts
receivable and inventories partially offset by an increase in accounts payable
and accrued liabilities.  Cash was provided primarily from the $73,000,000
proceeds from long-term debt.  This source was used to fund the $40,446,000
repurchases of common stock and the $21,882,000 increase in property, plant and
equipment.

At July 1, 1995, the Company had $3,262,000 in cash and cash equivalents, and
an unused credit line of $31,800,000.  The Company believes that its credit
line, along with its liquid resources, internally generated cash and financing
capacity, are adequate to meet anticipated operating and capital requirements.
