                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


NOTE 1 - THE COMPANY

Basis of Presentation

The interim financial statements of Van de Kamp's, Inc. (the "Company"),
included herein, have not been audited by independent accountants. The
statements include all adjustments, such as normal recurring accruals, which
management considers necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position
and operating results of the Company for the periods presented. Operating
results during the predecessor's prior year period include certain
reclassifications to conform with the Company's presentation. 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 prior owners did not operate the Company's product lines as separate
divisions and accordingly, it is not practicable to present a statement of cash
flows during the predecessor period. The Company was granted a waiver by the
Securities and Exchange Commission with respect to the presentation of these
cash flows.

For further information, reference should be made to the financial statements
for the period ended June 29, 1996 and notes thereto included in the Company's
Annual Report on Form 10-K on file at the Securities and Exchange Commission.

NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS

On September 19, 1995 (commencement of operations), Van de Kamp's, Inc. acquired
the assets of the frozen seafood business (which operated as Van de Kamp's) and
the frozen dessert product lines, (together the "Businesses") from The Pillsbury
Company and Pet Incorporated. The Company acquired the inventories, property,
plant and equipment and intangible assets of the Businesses for a purchase price
of $190 million. The acquisition was accounted for by the purchase method of
accounting.

On May 6, 1996, substantially all the assets of the Mrs. Paul's frozen food
business were purchased from Campbell Soup Company ("CSC") for $73.2 million.
The Company acquired the inventories, certain manufacturing equipment and
intangible assets from CSC. On July 9, 1996, substantially all of the assets of
the frozen food division of The Quaker Oats Company ("Quaker") were purchased
for $188.0 million. The Company purchased the Celeste(R) trademark and was
granted an exclusive perpetual, transferable, royalty-free license of the Aunt
Jemima(R) trademark for use in the frozen breakfast products business. Also
included in the acquisition were inventories and the manufacturing facility
where the Company produces both product lines. The allocation of purchase price
for these acquisitions has not been finalized; however, any changes are not
expected to be material. The acquisitions have been accounted for using the
purchase method and, accordingly, the results of operations are included in the
Statements of Operations from the dates of acquisition. Assets acquired and
liabilities assumed were recorded at their estimated fair market value, and the
excess costs over net tangible assets are being amortized over the estimated
useful lives of the related intangible assets.

                                      -6-

Had the three acquisitions described in this Note 2 taken place July 1, 1995,
the unaudited pro forma net sales and income (loss) before income taxes for the
quarter ended September 30, 1995 would have been $79,549,000 and $(3,571,000),
respectively. Results for the quarter ended September 28, 1996 would not have
been significantly different from those reflected in the Statement of
Operations.


NOTE 3 - INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (determined by the first-in, first-
out method) or market.  Inventories consist of the following (in thousands):

Net Sales.  Net sales for the quarter were $78.2 million, an increase of $52.6
million versus the same quarter last year.  The increase was due to (1) a $2.3
million increase in Van de Kamp's seafood sales, (2) a $0.4 million decrease in
desserts sales, (3) $13.9 million in Mrs. Paul's branded seafood  sales, and (4)
$36.8 million of sales of Celeste(R) pizza and Aunt Jemima(R) frozen breakfast
products (together "Celeste/Aunt Jemima").

Two primary factors contributed to the increase in Van de Kamp's seafood sales.
A price increase instituted in January 1996 contributed $0.5 million during the
quarter, and new products introduced during the quarter generated sales of $1.8
million.

The change in desserts sales was caused primarily by a $1.4 million decrease in
private label whipped toppings sales, a product category which continues to be
competitive.  This was partially offset by strong sales of pie shells during the
quarter due to the introduction of Mrs. Paul's pie shells, which generated $0.3
million of sales during the quarter.  Sales of other dessert products were
higher than the same period last year due to the introduction of new products
and the reformulation of certain existing products.

Gross Profit.  Gross profit increased from 52.1% of sales in fiscal 1996 to
56.7% in fiscal 1997.  The increase was caused by three factors: (1) a favorable
mix resulting from increased seafood sales versus lower margin dessert sales in
the base business, (2) lower manufacturing costs stemming primarily from reduced
overhead levels realized after the Celeste/Aunt Jemima acquisition, and (3)
higher inherent gross profit margins of the Celeste/Aunt Jemima products.

Selling, Distribution and Marketing Expenses.  Selling, distribution and
marketing expenses increased from 38.9% of sales in the prior year to 42.5% of
sales in the current year. The increase in trade promotion spending was caused
by (1) higher spending levels to support new product introductions under the Van
de Kamp's and Mrs. Paul's brands and (2) the inclusion in fiscal 1997 of the
Celeste pizza business, which requires a higher rate of trade spending than the
seafood business. Selling and distribution expenses declined as a percentage of
sales due to distribution efficiencies resulting from the Mrs. Paul's and
Celeste/Aunt Jemima acquisitions. Consumer marketing decreased as a percentage
of sales due primarily to the increase in sales mass resulting from the
Celeste/Aunt Jemima acquisition. In addition, consumer marketing as a percentage
of sales is lower for the Celeste pizza and Aunt Jemima breakfast products than
for the Company's other product lines.

Amortization of Goodwill and Other Intangibles.  Amortization of goodwill and
intangibles increased $2.5 million due to the increase in intangibles resulting
from the acquisition of Van de Kamp's late in the first quarter of fiscal 1996
and the acquisitions of Mrs. Paul's in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996 and
Celeste/Aunt Jemima which occurred early in the first quarter of fiscal 1997.

General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses
increased $1.1 million to facilitate the management of the businesses acquired
during calendar 1996. General and administrative expenses decreased from 6.0% of
sales to 3.4% of sales during this period due to the increased scale of the
business.

Transition Related Costs.  Transition related costs consist of what management
believes to be one-time costs incurred to establish operations and integrate
acquired businesses, including relocation expenses,  

                                      -9-
<PAGE>
 
recruiting fees, sales training, broker conversions and orientations, computer
systems conversion and other unique transitional expenses.

Operating Income.  Operating income increased $3.1 million due to the increased
size of the Company and the operating efficiencies described previously
associated with the increase in scale.

Interest Expense.  Interest expense increased due to the additional financing
required to complete the acquisitions of Mrs. Paul's and Celeste/Aunt Jemima.
Prior year interest expense is for twelve days only, as the predecessor did not
separately allocate this cost to the Businesses.

Provision for Income Taxes.  The Company anticipates a combined federal and
state tax rate of 40%, which has been applied to the quarter ended September 28,
1996.  This rate is lower than the rate experienced by the prior owners,
primarily because the Company's amortization of goodwill is deductible for
income tax purposes.


                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

On July 9, 1996 the Company acquired substantially all of the assets of the
frozen foods division of The Quaker Oats Company ("Quaker Oats") for
approximately $188 million.  These assets included the Celeste frozen pizza
business and the Aunt Jemima frozen breakfast products business of Quaker Oats.
The acquisition was financed by (i) an equity capital contribution of $40
million from VDK Holdings, Inc. (the Company's parent), (ii) $135 million of
additional borrowings through the Company's existing senior bank facility and
(iii) a $20 million senior secured convertible loan which is secured by cash
collateral posted by VDK Holdings, Inc.  Total sources of financing of $195
million were used to fund the acquisition and pay transaction fees and expenses.

For the quarter ended September 28, 1996, cash used in operations was $16.7
million.  Net income before depreciation and amortization provided $3.0 million
of operating cash flow which was offset by an increase in working capital of
$17.9 million.  Current assets, excluding cash, increased $26.3 million
primarily due to the acquisition of the Quaker frozen food businesses which
resulted in increased accounts receivable and inventory balances and a build up
of seafood inventory preceding the relocation of Mrs. Paul's production
equipment from Campbell's facility to the Company's manufacturing facilities.
The increases in current assets were partially offset by an $8.3 million
increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses of which $2.0 million related
to the acquired business.

The Company spent $4.5 million on property, plant and equipment during the
quarter, the majority of which was expended to relocate production lines
purchased from CSC into the Company's manufacturing facilities.

The senior secured revolving debt facility commitment is $25 million.  The
balance outstanding at September 28, 1996 was $19 million.  The revolver balance
was reduced in October after receivables collected by Quaker Oats were remitted
to the Company.

At September 28, 1996, the Company had $0.4 million of cash and cash equivalents
and an unused commitment on its $25 million revolving debt facility, net of
reduction for previously issued letters of credit, of $5.6 million.  Cash
provided by operations and borrowings under the revolving credit facility are
the primary sources of liquidity.  The available borrowing capacity under the
revolving credit facility, combined with cash provided by operations should
continue to provide the Company with the capital flexibility necessary to fund
future operations as well as to meet existing obligations.
