ITEM 2.  ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

On July 9, 1996, Van de Kamp's, Inc., a Delaware corporation, (the "Company")
completed an acquisition (the "Acquisition") of substantially all of the assets
of the frozen foods division of The Quaker Oats Company ("Quaker Oats"). These
assets include the CELESTE(R) frozen pizza business and the AUNT JEMIMA(R) 
frozen breakfast products business of Quaker Oats ("CELESTE/AUNT JEMINA"). As 
part of the Acquisition, the Company purchased the trademarks associated with 
the CELESTE(R) name and was granted an exclusive, perpetual, transferrable, 
royalty-free license of the AUNT JEMIMA(R) trademark for use in the frozen 
breakfast products business. Other assets acquired include the Jackson, 
Tennessee manufacturing facility, manufacturing equipment, inventories and 
certain intangibles. The Company intends to continue to utilize this facility 
for the CELESTE/AUNT JEMINA businesses. The purchase price of approximately 
$188 million is subject to adjustments upon completion of an audit of 
inventory as of the closing of the acquisition.

The Company financed the Acquisition and related costs with an equity
contribution by VDK Holdings, Inc., the Company's parent, of $40 million and
with additional senior secured bank borrowings totaling $155 million.
Approximately $135 million of this bank debt was incurred through an amendment
to the Company's existing senior bank facility. Pursuant to this amendment, The
Chase Manhattan Bank N.A. acts as agent for the following lenders: The Chase
Manhattan Bank; Banque Nationale de Paris; Banque Paribas; Caisse Nationale de
Credit Agricole; Cooperative Centrale Raiffeisen-Boerenleenbank B.A., "Rabobank
Nederland", New York Branch; Dresdner Bank AG, New York and Grand Cayman
Branches; Federal Street Partners, First Bank National Association; The First
National Bank of Boston; First Union National Bank of North Carolina; Fleet
National Bank; Harris Trust and Savings Bank; Merrill Lynch Senior Floating Rate
Fund, Inc.; Midland Bank PLC; New York Life Insurance Company; Pilgrim America
Prime Rate Trust; Prime Income Trust; Senior High Income Portfolio, Inc.; and
Van Kampen American Capital Prime Rate Income Trust. In addition, the Company
borrowed $20 million senior secured convertible loan from The Chase Manhattan
Bank, N.A., which is secured by cash collateral posted by VDK Holdings, Inc. In
the event the Company has not disposed of certain assets by July 9, 1997 the
cash collateral will be contributed as equity to the company and the senior
secured convertible loan will be repaid with the cash collateral.

                   REPORT OF INDEPENDENT PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



To the Board of Directors of
The Quaker Oats Company
and The Board of Directors
of Van de Kamp's, Inc.

We have audited the accompanying combined statements of certain assets and
liabilities of the Frozen Food Business of The Quaker Oats Company (the
"Business," as described in Footnote 1) as of June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and
the related combined statements of revenues and expenses, changes in equity, and
cash flows for the twelve months then ended.  These financial statements are the
responsibility of the preparers of these statements and the Business' management
(collectively referred to as "management").  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement
presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our
opinion.

As discussed more fully in Note 3, the Business was sold to Van de Kamp's, Inc.,
a Delaware corporation, on July 9, 1996.

In our opinion, the combined financial statements referred to above present
fairly, in all material respects, certain assets and liabilities of the Business
as of June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, and its revenues and expenses, changes in
equity and cash flows for the twelve months then ended in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles.

                            THE QUAKER OATS COMPANY
                             FROZEN FOOD BUSINESS
                  NOTES TO THE COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1
PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

The financial statements include the operations and certain assets and
liabilities of the Frozen Foods Business (the "Business") of The Quaker Oats
Company ("Quaker Oats"), a New Jersey corporation. The Business includes only
the following frozen food products: waffles, pancakes, french toast and pancake
batter under the brand name Aunt Jemima and selected private label brands; and
pizza products under the brand name Celeste and selected private label brands.
Refer to Note 2, "Basis of Presentation," for further discussion regarding the
preparation of the financial statements. The Business has operations in the
United States and Canada. In addition, there is an export operation which is
immaterial to the financial statements. All significant intercompany
transactions have been eliminated.

On July 9, 1996, Quaker Oats completed the sale of certain assets, liabilities
and obligations of the Business to Van de Kamp's, Inc. ("Van de Kamp's"), a
privately-held Delaware corporation located in St. Louis, Missouri. Refer to
Note 3, "Sale of Business," for further discussion.


NOTE 2
BASIS OF PRESENTATION

As a result of the Business' relationship with Quaker Oats, the financial
position and results of operations are not necessarily indicative of what
actually would have occurred had the Business been a stand-alone entity.
Additionally, these financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the
future financial position or results of operations of the Business.

COMBINED STATEMENTS OF CERTAIN ASSETS AND LIABILITIES

The Combined Statements of Certain Assets and Liabilities consist of the items
sold to or assumed by Van de Kamp's as well as other assets and liabilities
specifically identifiable or allocable to the Business during the periods
presented that were not sold to Van de Kamp's.

The assets and liabilities sold to or assumed by Van de Kamp's include: a) real
property at the Jackson, Tennessee manufacturing facility and any and all
buildings, plants, facilities, installations, fixtures and other structures and
improvements located thereon or attached thereto ("Real Property"); b)
machinery, equipment, furniture, tools, spare parts, maintenance equipment and
supplies, and computer hardware, peripherals and software, in each case owned by
Quaker Oats and located on the Real Property or used primarily in connection
with the Business; c) inventories, including raw materials, ingredients, work-
in-process, finished goods and packaging materials owned by Quaker Oats, used in
connection with the Business, and located on the Real Property or at certain
distribution centers and other facilities owned by Quaker Oats; d) certain
coupon liabilities; and e) certain accrued vacation liabilities.

                                     -11-
<PAGE>
 
Other specifically identifiable assets and liabilities related to the Business
that were not sold to Van de Kamp's include: trade accounts receivable, current
and deferred income taxes and other miscellaneous assets and liabilities.
Allocated items include various accounts payable. Management believes that the
methods used for allocating these items were reasonable.

COMBINED STATEMENTS OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES

The Combined Statements of Revenues and Expenses reflect substantially all of
the Business' costs associated with the normal course of business. These costs
include direct expenses and certain expenses incurred by Quaker Oats on the
Business' behalf. Refer to Note 5, "Supplementary Expenses Information," for
further discussion.

ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with Generally
Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires management to make estimates
and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting period. Actual results may differ from these estimates.


NOTE 3
SALE OF THE BUSINESS

On May 15, 1996, Quaker Oats entered into an agreement ("Agreement") to sell
certain assets, liabilities and obligations of the Business to Van de Kamp's.
The sale was completed on July 9, 1996. The assets sold include, as discussed in
Note 2, the Real Property, various machinery and equipment, and inventory. In
addition, books and records, certain contracts and certain intellectual property
including trademarks, copyrights and trade names used exclusively in the
Business, excluding the Aunt Jemima trademark, were transferred to Van de
Kamp's. Quaker Oats licensed the Aunt Jemima trademark to Van de Kamp's in
connection with the manufacture and sale of the following frozen food products:
waffles, pancakes, french toast, pancake batter, biscuits, muffins, strudel,
croissants and all other frozen breakfast products, except for frozen cereals.
The liabilities assumed by Van de Kamp's include, as discussed in Note 2,
certain coupon and accrued vacation liabilities. The balances of assets sold and
liabilities assumed by Van de Kamp's in the Agreement were as follows:

Quaker Oats has no financial interest in the Business after July 8, 1996 except
to settle certain outstanding liabilities and collect outstanding receivables
that were not sold to Van de Kamp's. In addition, Quaker Oats is liable after
the sale to Van de Kamp's for certain employee benefit plan obligations that
were not transferred to or assumed by Van de Kamp's.

Van de Kamp's and Quaker Oats are currently negotiating an agency arrangement
whereby Quaker Oats may provide sales presentation services for Van de Kamp's
products in the foodservice channel in exchange for a sales-based commission.


NOTE 4
SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

INVENTORIES - Inventories were valued at the lower of cost or market, using the
cost methods described below, and include the cost of raw materials, packaging,
labor and overhead. The percentage of year-end inventories valued using each of
the methods was as follows:
<TABLE>
<CAPTION>
 
                          JUNE 30,   JUNE 30,   JUNE 30,
                            1996       1995       1994
                          ---------  ---------  ---------
<S>                       <C>        <C>        <C>
LIFO                            98%        97%        96%
Average quarterly cost           2%         3%         4%
</TABLE>

If the LIFO method of valuing these inventories was not used, total inventories
would have been $1.4 million, $1.4 million and $2.2 million higher than reported
at June 30, 1996, 1995 and 1994, respectively.

COMMODITY FUTURES AND OPTIONS CONTRACTS - Commodity futures and options
contracts were used in the management of commodity price exposures. Realized and
unrealized gains and losses on commodity futures and options contracts that
hedged commodity price exposures were deferred in inventory and subsequently
included in the cost of goods sold as the inventory was sold.

PROPERTY AND DEPRECIATION - Property, plant and equipment were reported at cost
and depreciated on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
Useful lives were 50 years for building and improvements and 3 to 17 years for
machinery and equipment. Depreciation expense for the years ended June 30, 1996,
1995 and 1994 was $2.9 million, $2.7 million and $2.5 million, respectively.

FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION - Assets and liabilities of the Business'
operations in Canada were translated at exchange rates in effect as of the
balance sheet dates, while income and expenses were translated at average rates
for the periods presented. Translation gains and losses were not material.

NOTE 5
SUPPLEMENTARY EXPENSE INFORMATION

The Business conducted its operations as an integrated component of Quaker's
U.S. and Canadian Foods Business.  Certain shared expenses were directly charged
or allocated to the Business by Quaker. Except for the cost of goods sold,
advertising and marketing expenses, and a portion of research and development
expenses, the remaining operating and general and administrative expenses were
allocated to the Business by Quaker Oats.  Management believes that the methods
used for allocating these expenses were reasonable.

Selling general and administrative expenses were as follows:

</TABLE>

(A) SHARED OPERATING EXPENSES - Quaker Oats allocated to the Business a portion
of shared operating expenses including broker selling expenses, certain other
marketing expenses, certain other product research expenses, and general and
administrative services.  These expenses were allocated to the Business on a
basis that approximates actual services provided as determined by various
measures.  The Business also participated in Quaker Oats's consolidated risk
management programs for property and casualty insurance.  The Business was
charged for annual premiums, reported losses and an estimate of incurred but not
reported losses.

(B) EMPLOYEES - Employees at the Jackson, Tennessee facility were employed by
Quaker Oats and their compensation was paid by Quaker Oats.  These employees
also participated in certain employee benefit plans.  The Business was directly
charged for actual salary costs and allocated fringe benefit costs.  The
allocated fringe benefit costs were allocated based on actual salary costs.
Employees who were primarily employed in the Business on July 8, 1996, other
than certain nontransferred employees as provided in the Agreement, were
transferred to Van de Kamp's on the date of sale.

(C) CORPORATE OVERHEAD ALLOCATIONS - Quaker Oats provided certain corporate
general and administrative services to the Business including personnel, legal,
finance, facility management and utilities.  These expenses were allocated to
the Business on a basis that approximates actual services provided as determined
by various measures.

NOTE 6
INTEREST EXPENSE

Quaker Oats incurred financial costs related to debt for total company
operations. The portion of net interest expense allocated to the Business was
based on the ratio of the Business' net assets to the net assets of Quaker
Oats's U.S. and Canadian Business. Net interest expense for the years ended June
30, 1996, 1995 and 1994 was $2.7 million, $2.5 million and $2.8 million,
respectively.

NOTE 7
INCOME TAXES

The U.S. operations of the Business were included in the consolidated Federal
income tax return of Quaker Oats. The Canadian operations of the Business were
included in the consolidated tax return of Quaker Oats's Canadian subsidiary.
The Business calculated the current and deferred taxes, for purposes of these
financial statements, as if it filed a separate combined tax return, except that
if any items were subject to limitations in the Business' tax calculations, such
limitations were determined on the basis of the Quaker Oats consolidated group.
Deferred income taxes were provided when tax laws and financial accounting
standards differed with respect to the amount of income calculated for a given
year and the bases of assets and liabilities. Income taxes were ultimately paid
by and were the responsibility of Quaker Oats. There was no tax sharing
agreement between the Business and Quaker Oats. Quaker Oats will retain
liability for all taxes of the Business for operating activity through July 8,
1996:

The provision for income taxes on income was as follows:

NOTE 8
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments were primarily used to reduce the impact of commodity
price fluctuations. The main financial instruments used were commodity futures
and options contracts.

The commodity hedge instruments were used to reduce the risk that raw material
purchases would be adversely affected as commodity prices changed. While the
hedge instruments were subject to the risk of loss from changing commodity
prices, the losses were generally offset by lowered costs of the purchases being
hedged. Quaker Oats, acting on behalf of the Business, did not trade these
instruments with the objective of earning financial gains on the commodity price
fluctuations alone, nor did it trade in commodities for which there were no
underlying exposures. Quaker Oats management believes that its use of
financial instruments to reduce commodity price fluctuation effects was in the
best interest of the Business.

Primarily purchases of flour, corn syrup and soybean oil commodities were hedged
for the Business. For the twelve months ending June 30, 1996, approximately $1.7
million of the cost of goods sold was in hedged flour, corn syrup and soybean
oil. For the twelve months ending June 30, 1995, approximately $0.8 million of
the cost of goods sold was in hedged corn syrup and soybean oil. For the twelve
months ended June 30, 1994, approximately $0.3 million of the cost of goods sold
was in hedged corn syrup. Quaker Oats's strategy is typically to hedge certain
production requirements for various periods up to twelve months. As of June 30,
1995, approximately 25% of the hedgeable production requirements for flour, corn
syrup and soybean oil were hedged for the twelve-months ended June 30, 1996. As
of June 30, 1994, approximately 80% of the hedgeable production requirements
for corn syrup and soybean oil were hedged for the twelve-months ended June 30,
1995. The use of commodity hedge instruments did not have a material impact on
the financial position or results of operation. As of June 30, 1996, no
commodity futures or options contracts were outstanding.

NOTE 9
EQUITY - NET INVESTMENT BY THE QUAKER OATS COMPANY

The Business participated in a centralized cash management program administered
by Quaker Oats. Cash collected from operations was remitted to Quaker Oats and
advances were made by Quaker Oats, as needed, to cover the Business' operating
expenses and capital requirements.

NOTE 10
LITIGATION

The Business is not a party to any pending legal proceedings or environmental
clean-up actions that it believes will have a material adverse effect on its
financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 11
SUBSEQUENT EVENT

In April 1995, Quaker Oats initiated a legal action against an equipment vendor
claiming that the oil spray systems within the commercial baking oven equipment
purchased from the vendor were defective, malfunctioned and caused Quaker Oats
direct and incidental damages. The equipment is located on the Real Property.
The Real Property, and machinery and equipment (excluding the defective systems)
were included in the fixed assets sold to Van de Kamp's. Van de Kamp's did not
assume responsibility for such litigation matters pending at the sale date. The
incremental costs incurred by Quaker Oats as a result of the defective systems
were recorded in the Combined Statements of Revenues and Expenses for the years
ended June 30, 1996 and 1995. The cost of the defective systems and the related
outstanding invoices were recorded in "Net Investment by The Quaker Oats
Company" in the Combined Statements of Certain Assets and Liabilities as of June
30, 1996, 1995 and 1994.

On August 9, 1996, Quaker Oats and the vendor agreed, in principle, to a Mutual
Release and Settlement Agreement ("Settlement"). The Settlement was signed by
the parties on August 27, 1996 and consisted of a $650,000 payment from the
vendor to Quaker Oats, the forgiveness by the vendor of all outstanding invoices
for goods and services provided to Quaker Oats and the return of the defective
system by Quaker Oats to the vendor.

ITEM 7 (b):   PRO FORMA FINANCIAL INFORMATION


The following pro forma financial statements (the "Pro Forma Financial
Statements") give effect to the acquisitions of the Van de Kamp's frozen seafood
business and certain frozen dessert product lines (as discussed below), Mrs.
Paul's, and the frozen foods division of The Quaker Oats Company ("Quaker
Oats"), and the financing and the application of the net proceeds therefrom as
though the transactions occurred as of July 1, 1995 for the Pro Forma Statement
of Operations and June 30, 1996 for the Pro Forma Balance Sheet. On September
19, 1995 (commencement of operations), Van de Kamp's, Inc. acquired the assets
of the Van de Kamp's frozen seafood business and certain frozen dessert product
lines (together, the "Businesses" or "Predecessor") from The Pillsbury Company
and Pet Incorporated. On May 6, 1996, Van de Kamp's, Inc. acquired substantially
all the assets of the Mrs. Paul's frozen food business from Campbell Soup
Company. On July 9, 1996, Van de Kamp's, Inc. acquired certain assets of the
frozen foods division of Quaker Oats.

The Pro Forma Statement of Operations is a combination of the following (as
presented on the next page): (a) audited Statement of Operations of the
Predecessor for the period July 1, 1995 through September 18, 1995, (b) audited
Statement of Operations of Van de Kamp's, Inc. for the period September 19, 1995
through June 29, 1996, (c) audited Statement of Earnings of Mrs. Paul's for the
period August 1, 1995 through April 30, 1996, (d) unaudited Statement of Income
of Mrs. Paul's for the month of July 1995 and (e) audited Statement of Revenues
and Expenses of the frozen foods division of Quaker Oats for the period July 1,
1995 through June 30, 1996. The following Pro Forma Balance Sheet is based on
the audited balance sheet of the Company as of June 29, 1996 and the amounts of
assets to be acquired and liabilities assumed as included in the Combined
Statement of Certain Assets and Liabilities of the frozen foods business of
Quaker Oats.

The pro forma financial information reflects pro forma adjustments that are
based upon available information and which the Company believes are reasonable.
The pro forma financial information does not necessarily reflect the results of
operations or financial position of the Company that actually would have
resulted had the transactions to which pro forma effect is given been
consummated as of the date or for the period indicated.

                  NOTES TO PRO FORMA STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                       FOR THE YEAR ENDED JUNE 30, 1996


(a) Represents a reclassification of distribution and selling expenses to report
    sales consistently with Van de Kamp's, Inc., as further discussed in note
    (d).

(b) Represents an increase of $1,047 in depreciation expense as a result of
    higher depreciable basis of property, plant and equipment as compared to the
    prior owners. The average depreciable life for fixed assets is as follows:

                                    Machinery and equipment  8.5 years
                                    Buildings                30 years 
                                    Furniture and fixtures   10 years


(c) Includes the reversal of corporate allocated expenses from the prior owners
    for indirect fixed plant overhead costs. This reversal is supportable as the
    Company already has the plant infrastructure to support the Businesses, Mrs.
    Paul's and the frozen foods division of Quaker Oats.

(d) Includes the reclassification of expense described above in note (a) and the
    elimination of a corporate allocation from the prior owners of costs
    associated with the sales force, sales administration and marketing
    overhead. The reversal of these allocations is supportable as the Company
    already has established sales force, sales administration and marketing
    functions to support the Businesses, Mrs. Paul's and the frozen foods
    division of Quaker Oats.

(e) Represents the elimination of Mrs. Paul's research and development costs
    ($657). The Company records its research and development costs in general
    and administrative expense and management believes the amount included in
    the general and administrative expense for the period is sufficient.

(f) Reflects an adjustment to amortization based on actual goodwill and other
    intangibles recorded in connection with the acquisitions of the Businesses,
    Mrs. Paul's and the frozen foods division of Quaker Oats.

(g) Reflects the reduction in expense ($14,173) the Company will experience as
    compared to the general and administrative corporate allocation from
    Predecessor, Campbell Soup Company and Quaker Oats. The reduction is
    supported by the Company's experience during its current period of ownership
    and personnel and expense changes that it has implemented.

(h) Represents certain transition related costs incurred in connection with the
    acquisition of the Businesses since September 19, 1995 which are non-
    recurring and therefore are excluded for pro forma purposes.

(i) Represents the interest expense that would have been incurred based upon pro
    forma debt levels, applicable interest rates and as if the acquisitions had
    occurred on July 1, 1995.

                                     -21-

(j)  Represents the amortization of deferred financing costs that would have
     been incurred based upon pro forma debt levels.

(k)  Represents a reduction in the provision for income taxes as a result of the
     pro forma decrease in income before income taxes.

(l)  EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation,
     amortization and extraordinary items and is presented because it is
     commonly used by certain investors and analysts to analyze and compare on
     the basis of operating performance and to determine a company's ability to
     service and incur debt. EBITDA should not be considered in isolation from
     or as a substitute for net income, cash flows from operating activities or
     other consolidated income or cash flow statement data prepared in
     accordance with generally accepted accounting principles or as a measure of
     profitability or liquidity. Cash flows data are not presented as it is not
     practicable to separate cash flows for the Business (as set forth in Van de
     Kamp's, Inc. Form S-4, filed November 14, 1995) or Mrs. Paul's (as approved
     by the SEC in a letter dated July 1, 1996). EBITDA as defined here is the
     same as that required by the Senior Bank Facilities covenant, except that
     the Senior Bank Facilities definition also excludes all other non-cash
     expenses and any non-cash income or non-cash gains and includes interest
     income. The Company did not have any such items for the periods presented.
