ITEM  2. Disposal of Assets.


         On September 4, 1997, Borden, Inc. ("the Company") completed the
         previously announced transaction to sell the stock of Borden/Meadow
         Gold Dairies Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Dairy") to
         Mid-America Dairymen, Inc. for $435 million, subject to certain
         adjustments (the "Transaction"). Under the terms of the Transaction,
         Mid-America Dairymen, Inc. acquired the Meadow Gold, Viva, Lite Line
         and Mountain High brand names, and a license to use the Borden and
         Elsie the Cow trademarks in the United States on certain dairy
         products. Proceeds of the Transaction were used by Borden to pay down
         debt.

ITEM  7. Financial Statements and Exhibits.

     b.  Pro forma condensed consolidated and combined financial statements
         (unaudited).

         The following unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated and combined
         consolidated financial statements are filed with this report:

<TABLE>
<S>                                                                                     <C>
                Pro Forma Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 1997.......  4

                     Six Months Ending June 30, 1997..................................  6
                     Year Ending December 31, 1996....................................  7
                Pro Forma Condensed Combined Balance Sheet at June 30, 1997...........  8
                Pro Forma Condensed Combined Statements of Income:
                     Six Months Ending June 30, 1997.................................. 10
                     Year Ending December 31, 1996.................................... 11
</TABLE>

         The consolidated statements present the Company after the effect of the
         sales of (i) the Company's former salty snacks business to Wise
         Holdings, Inc. and its subsidiaries ("Wise") and (ii) the Company's
         former domestic and international foods business to Borden Foods
         Holdings Corporation and its subsidiaries ("Foods"). The Company, Wise
         and Foods are controlled by BW Holdings, LLC ("BWHLLC"). The
         consolidated financial statements are those of the Company, which is
         the SEC Registrant. Combined financial statements are included herein
         to present the Company on a combined historical basis, including the
         financial position and results of operations of Wise and Foods. The
         combined financial statements are included because management of the
         Company continues to control significant financial and managerial
         decisions with respect to Wise and Foods. The combined financial
         statements do not reflect push-down accounting and therefore present
         financial information on a basis consistent with that on which credit
         was originally extended to the Company.

         The following pro forma condensed consolidated and combined balance
         sheets as of June 30, 1997 and the pro forma condensed consolidated and
         combined statements of income for the six month period then ended and
         the year ended December 31, 1996 give effect to the Transaction. The
         adjustments related to the condensed consolidated and combined balance
         sheets assume the transaction was consummated at June 30, 1997, while
         the adjustments to the pro forma condensed consolidated and combined
         income statements assume the Transaction was consummated at the
         beginning of the periods presented.

         The unaudited pro forma consolidated and combined financial statements
         have been prepared based on assumptions deemed proper by the Company.
         The unaudited pro forma condensed consolidated and combined financial
         statements presented herein are shown for illustrative purposes only
         and are not necessarily indicative of the future financial position or
         future results of operations of the Company or of the financial
         position or results of operations of the Company that would have
         actually occurred had the transaction been in effect as of the date or
         for the periods presented.

Notes to Pro Forma Financial Statements
- ---------------------------------------



a)       Reflects the elimination of the Dairy business and the receipt of $435
         million of proceeds net of a $40 million deposit received in May 1997,
         $16.6 million of compensation expense paid on the settlement of stock
         options, $5.3 million of proceeds attributable to the minority
         shareholders and other closing costs. The June 30, 1997 income
         statements already classify Dairy as a discontinued operation.

b)       Reflects the repayment of long-term debt with cash proceeds from the
         Transaction and the associated interest savings. The weighted average
         interest rate used to compute the interest savings was 7.7% for the six
         months ended June 30, 1997 and 7.5% for the twelve months ended
         December 31, 1996.

c)       Reflects the Company's partial settlement loss that was not recognized
         in the gain calculation.

d)       Reflects the elimination of minority interest in the results of the
         Dairy business.
