ITEM 5      INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER

            Item 5 is hereby amended by adding the following information:

            The Reporting Persons previously reported that they beneficially
owned 575,972 Additional Acquisition Shares allocated to the Reporting Persons
as follows:

            Joyce Murphy Minchew                        76,318
            Wendell H. Murphy, Jr.                     145,621
            Wendy Murphy Crumpler                       43,748

            As of the date of this filing, Smithfield has not issued the 575,972
Additional Acquisition Shares previously reported. At this time, Smithfield has
not irrevocably committed to transfer any additional shares. The Reporting
Persons do not know the exact amount to be distributed or the exact date when
such distribution will occur. The number of shares of Smithfield Common Stock
listed to the right of the Reporting Person's name above has been deducted from
the number of shares of Smithfield Common Stock deemed beneficially owned by
such Reporting Person.


GIFT OF SHARES HELD BY MURFAM:

            On December 12, 2003, Murfam donated 208 shares of Smithfield Common
Stock to a charitable entity. Murfam received no consideration for the donated
shares. Upon the disposition, Murfam no longer beneficially owns any Smithfield
Common Stock. As a result of the disposition, each Reporting Person's beneficial
ownership was reduced by the number of shares reflected in the following table:

CUSIP No. 832248 95 9                                        Page 12 of 20 Pages

            -     Marc D. Murphy transferred 266,700 shares of Smithfield Common
Stock to MDM Legacy LLC in exchange for all of the limited liability company
interests of MDM Legacy LLC (which included both Class A and Class B limited
liability company interests).

            Under each of the limited liability company agreements, the Class A
interests give Harry D. Murphy, Stratton K. Murphy and Marc D. Murphy voting
power over the interests of the limited liability company and the power to
change the manager of the respective limited liability company. The Class A
interests have 1% of the economic interests in the assets of the respective
limited liability company. The Class B interests possess 99% of the economic
interest of the assets held in the respective limited liability companies. HMC
Legacy LLC, SKM Legacy LLC and MDM Legacy LLC are each manager-managed by
Wendell H. Murphy, Jr. As manager of the limited liability companies, Wendell H.
Murphy, Jr. has voting and dispositive power over the assets of the limited
liability companies, including the shares of Smithfield Common Stock owned
directly or indirectly by such limited liability company. Wendell H. Murphy, Jr.
has no pecuniary interest in the shares of Smithfield Common Stock held by the
limited liability companies. As a result of these transfers, Wendell H. Murphy,
Jr. may be deemed to be the beneficial owner of an aggregate 1,905,480 shares of
Smithfield Common Stock, and Harry D. Murphy, Stratton K. Murphy and Marc D.
Murphy are no longer deemed to have beneficial ownership of these shares of
Smithfield Common Stock.

            On March 19, 2004, each of Harry D. Murphy, Stratton K. Murphy and
Marc D. Murphy transferred 100%, subject to subsequent adjustment, of the Class
B limited liability company interests he held in the above limited liability
companies to various family trusts in exchange for promissory notes of the
trusts. The family trusts to which the Class B interests were transferred have
the right to receive the dividends from, and the proceeds of the sale of the
shares of Smithfield Common Stock held by the limited liability companies to the
extent those dividends and proceeds represent 99% of the economic interest of
the assets held in the respective limited liability companies.

PREPAID VARIABLE FORWARD CONTRACTS:

            On the dates set forth in the table below, the "Forward Contract
Date," each of the Reporting Persons (1) entered into a prepaid variable forward
contract ("Forward Contract") with an unaffiliated third party buyer pursuant to
a Master Agreement (the "Master Agreement"), dated on the respective dates set
forth in the table below, "the Master Agreement Date." Pursuant to the Master
Agreement, each Reporting Person received cash shortly after the Forward
Contract Date in exchange for the obligation to deliver a number of shares of
Smithfield Common Stock on a date in the future, the "Delivery Date," (or on an
earlier date if the Forward Contract is terminated early) pursuant to the
following formula. Each Reporting Person also pledged the number of shares of
Smithfield Common Stock indicated in the table below under the column "Shares
Subject to Forward Contact" (as to each Reporting Person, the "Number of Forward
Contract Shares") on the Forward Contract Date to secure his or her obligations
under the Forward Contract.

            (i) if the price of Smithfield Common Stock on the respective
      Delivery Date (2) (the "Settlement Value") is less than or equal to the
      floor price (the "Floor Price"), the Reporting Person must deliver the
      Number of Forward Contract Shares;

-------------------------------------

(1) The Forward Contracts dated March 22, 2004, were entered into by HDM Legacy
LLC, SKM Legacy LLC and MDM Legacy LLC. As noted previously in this Amendment
No. 3 to Schedule 13D, Wendell H. Murphy, Jr. has the voting and dispositive
power over the shares of Smithfield Common Stock held by these limited liability
companies. As a result, the entering into of the Forward Contacts by these
limited liability companies and the effect on the dispositive power over the
shares therein is attributed to Wendell H. Murphy, Jr.

(2) For the Forward Contracts dated March 22, 2004, this price is the closing
price on the Delivery Date. For the Forward Contracts dated June 30, 2004, this
price is the volume weighted average price per share as displayed on Bloomberg
Page "AQR" for Smithfield on each of the 10 business days prior to and including
the Delivery Date.

            (ii) if the Settlement Value is less than or equal to the cap price
      (the "Cap Price"), but greater than the Floor Price, then the Reporting
      Person must deliver a number of shares equal to the Number of Forward
      Contract Shares times the Floor Price divided by the Settlement Value;

            (iii) if the Settlement Value is greater than the Cap Price, then
      the Reporting Person must deliver a number of shares equal to the Number
      of Forward Contract Shares times the sum of the Floor Price and the amount
      by which the Settlement Value exceeds the Cap Price divided by the
      Settlement Value.

            For the Forward Contracts dated June 30, 2004, the number of shares
to be delivered on the Delivery Date is calculated with the above formula on
each of the 10 business days prior to and including the Delivery Date. Following
are the prices for each Forward Contract as they relate to the above formula:

      FORWARD CONTRACT DATE        FLOOR PRICE        CAP PRICE
      ---------------------        -----------        ---------
      3/22/2004                    $25.86             $33.62
      6/30/2004 (a)                $29.62             $35.54
      6/30/2004 (b)                $29.62             $38.50

            Alternatively, each Reporting Person has the option to settle the
Forward Contract for cash. Unless there is a default under the Master Agreement,
each Reporting Person retains all voting rights with respect to the shares of
Smithfield Common Stock pledged by such Reporting Person until such shares are
delivered in settlement of the Master Agreement. The unaffiliated third party
buyer is entitled to any dividends received by the Reporting Persons on the
Number of Forward Contract Shares. The Forward Contracts are subject to early
termination upon the occurrence of certain events.

            In addition to the Number of Forward Contract Shares subject to the
Forward Contract the following table also sets forth the amount of the cash
payment received by each Reporting Person pursuant to the respective Forward
Contract.

            Although the Reporting Persons have entered into the Forward
Contracts and have pledged the shares of the Smithfield Common Stock listed
above under the column "Shares Subject to Forward Contract," the Reporting
Persons have retained all voting rights with respect to these shares and
accordingly continue to be deemed the beneficial owners of such shares. As a
result of the pledge of the shares, however, the Reporting Persons do not have
dispositive power with respect to the pledged shares.

            Forms of the Forward Contracts and Master Agreements are included as
Exhibits 1-4 to this Amendment No. 3 to Schedule 13D.(4)
