Item 2.  Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.
- ----------------------------------------------

     On January 15, 1998 (the "Effective  Date"),  Vanden Capital Group, Inc., a
Colorado  corporation  (the  "Company"),   and  Entropin,   Inc.,  a  California
corporation ("Entropin"),  completed an acquisition whereby the Company acquired
all of the outstanding  shares of Entropin  pursuant to an Agreement and Plan of
Merger  dated  December 9, 1997  between the Company and  Entropin  (the "Merger
Agreement").  Pursuant  to the  terms of the  Merger  Agreement,  the  following
actions occurred:

     (1) For and in  consideration  of the  exchange of all shares of the Common
Stock and Series A Preferred  Stock of Entropin  issued and  outstanding  on the
Effective Date:

         (a)   The Company  recapitalized  its issued and outstanding  shares of
               Common Stock ($.0001 par value) from 90,015,200 shares to 300,050
               shares by a reverse split of 1 share for 300 shares and increased
               the par value thereof to $.001 per share. The Company reduced its
               50,000,000  shares  of  Preferred  Stock  ($.0001  par  value) to
               10,000,000  shares and  increased  the par value thereof to $.001
               per share.  The Company  designated  3,210,487 of its  10,000,000
               shares of Preferred  Stock as redeemable  eight percent (8%) non-
               cumulative,  non-voting  Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred
               Stock).  The principal  terms of the Series A Preferred Stock are
               described  in Article III of the  Company's  Amended and Restated
               Articles of Incorporation  which is filed herewith as Exhibit 3.4
               to this Form 8-K.

         (b)   The Company  issued  5,520,000  shares of $.001 par value  Common
               Stock to shareholders  of all the issued and  outstanding  Common
               Stock of Entropin in exchange therefor on a one for one basis.

         (c)   The Company issued  3,210,487  shares of $.001 par value Series A
               Preferred Stock to shareholders of all the issued and outstanding
               Series A Preferred  Stock of  Entropin in exchange  therefor on a
               one for one basis.

     (2) Each share of the Common Stock and Series A Preferred Stock of Entropin
which was issued and  outstanding on the Effective Date, by virtue of the merger
and without any action on the part of Entropin, was retired and cancelled.

     The  Company  has  agreed to  register  the shares of Common  Stock  issued
pursuant to the Merger Agreement with the Securities and Exchange  Commission as
soon as is practicable after the Effective Date.

     Subsequent to the  acquisition,  the Company  changed its name to Entropin,
Inc. and has become engaged in the pharmaceutical  research business and will be
commercially  developing a patented  medicinal  preparation known as Esterom(R),
which is the current business of Entropin. Esterom(R) is a medicinal preparation
formulated for the treatment of impaired range of motion  associated  with acute
lower back pain and painful shoulder.  Entropin has been issued seven patents by

                                      -5-

<PAGE>

the  U.S.  Patent  Office  on  Esterom(R).  Entropin  has  a  current  and  open
Investigational New Drug File with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and has
completed Phase II of the approval process.

     The  Merger  Agreement  and  related  transactions  were  approved  by  the
Company's  shareholders at a special meeting of the shareholders held on January
15, 1998.

     In  connection  with the Merger  Agreement,  Entropin  conducted  a private
placement of its Common  Stock  consisting  of a maximum of 30 Units,  each Unit
consisting of 10,000 shares of Common Stock, or 300,000 shares (the "Units"), at
an offering price of $27,500 per Unit, or $825,000,  on an  "all-or-none"  basis
(these shares are included in the 5,520,000 shares issued in connection with the
Merger Agreement).  The offering  terminated on December 31, 1997 and funds were
held in escrow  until the  Effective  Date.  All  offers  and sales were made by
Entropin.  The offering was made pursuant to the federal registration  exemption
contained in Section 4(2) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "Act"),
and  Rule  506 of  Regulation  D  promulgated  thereunder  only  to  "accredited
investors" as that term is defined in Rule 501(a) of Regulation D.

     The Company  currently is represented by the law firm of Brenman Bromberg &
Tenenbaum,  P.C. (the "Law Firm") and has been so represented since March, 1994.
Albert Brenman and A. Thomas Tenenbaum, shareholders of the Company and officers
and  directors  of  the  Company  until  their  resignations  subsequent  to the
Effective Date of the Merger Agreement, are officers, directors and shareholders
of the Law  Firm.  The Law Firm  will  continue  to  represent  the  Company  in
securities  law  matters.  Representation  of the Company by Brenman  Bromberg &

               REPORT OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS



The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Entropin, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of Entropin,  Inc. (a development
stage company) as of December 31, 1996 and 1997,  and the related  statements of
operations,  changes in  stockholders'  equity  (deficit) and cash flows for the
years then ended and for the period  from August 27,  1984  (inception)  through
December 31, 1997.  These  financial  statements are the  responsibility  of the
Company's  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.

In our opinion,  the financial  statements  referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects,  the financial position of Entropin,  Inc. as of December
31, 1996 and 1997 and the results of its  operations  and its cash flows for the
years then ended and for the period  from August 27,  1984  (inception)  through
December 31, 1997, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

                         NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                           December 31, 1996 and 1997


1.   Organization and summary of significant accounting policies
     -----------------------------------------------------------

     Organization:

     Entropin, Inc., a Colorado corporation,  was organized in August 1984, as a
     pharmaceutical research company developing Esterom(R),  a topically applied
     compound for the  treatment  of impaired  range of motion  associated  with
     acute  lower  back  sprain  and acute  painful  shoulder.  The  Company  is
     considered  to be a development  stage  enterprise as more fully defined in
     Statement No. 7 of the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board.  Activities
     from inception  include  research and development  activities,  seeking the
     U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval for Esterom(R), as well as
     fund raising.

     Basis of presentation and management's' plans:

     The Company's  financial  statements have been presented on a going concern
     basis which  contemplates the realization of assets and the satisfaction of
     liabilities  in the  normal  course  of  business.  The  Company  is in the
     development  stage  and  has  been  primarily   involved  in  research  and
     development  activities.  This has  resulted  in  significant  losses and a
     stockholders'  deficit at December 31, 1997 of  $4,561,175.  The  Company's
     continued  existence is  dependent on its ability to obtain the  additional
     funding  necessary to complete the FDA approval  process for Esterom(R) and
     market the product.

     As  described in Note 8, the Company has  successfully  completed a private
     placement  and  a  recapitalization  of  the  Company  which  will  provide
     additional  liquidity for the Company for current operations.  However, the
     Company  estimates it will require  additional  funding of up to $8,000,000
     over the  next  three  years  to  successfully  complete  the FDA  approval
     process. The financial statements do not include any adjustment relating to
     the  recoverability  and  classification  of recorded  asset amounts or the
     amount and classification of liabilities or other adjustments that might be
     necessary  should the Company be unable to  continue as a going  concern in
     its present form.

     Use of estimates:

     The  preparation  of financial  statements  in  conformity  with  generally
     accepted  accounting  principles  requires management to make estimates and
     assumptions  that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
     disclosure  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  could  differ  from those
     estimates.

     Income Taxes:

     The  Company  has  elected  under the  Internal  Revenue  Code to be an 'S'
     corporation.  In lieu of corporation  income taxes,  the shareholders of an
     'S' corporation include their respective shares of the Company's net income
     or loss in their individual income tax returns.

1.   Organization and summary of significant accounting policies (continued)
     -----------------------------------------------------------------------

     Deferred stock offering costs:

     Deferred  stock  offering  costs  represent  costs incurred to December 31,
     1997, in connection with the private  placement of common stock, more fully
     discussed in Note 6. Costs  incurred as of December 31, 1997 and additional
     costs incurred  subsequent to that date,  were charged against the proceeds
     of the offering.

     Patents:

     Patents  are  stated  at  cost  less  accumulated   amortization  which  is
    calculated  on a  straight-line  basis over the useful  lives of the assets,
    estimated by management to average 17 years.  Research and development costs
    and any  costs  associated  with  internally  developed  patents  (with  the
    exception of legal costs) are expensed in the year incurred.

     Impairment of long-lived assets:

     The Company  evaluates  the potential  impairment  of long-lived  assets in
     accordance  with  Statement  of  Financial  Accounting  Standards  No. 121,
     Accounting  for the  Impairment  of  Long-Lived  Assets and for  Long-Lived
     Assets to be  Disposed  of.  The  Company  annually  reviews  the amount of
     recorded long-lived assets for impairment.  If the sum of the expected cash
     flows from these assets is less than the carrying amount,  the Company will
     recognize an impairment loss in such period.

     Cash equivalents:

     For the purposes of the statement of cash flows, the Company  considers all
     highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or
     less to be cash equivalents.

     Concentrations of credit risk:

     Financial   instruments   which   potentially   subject   the   Company  to
     concentrations  of credit risk  consist  principally  of cash.  The Company
     places its cash with high quality financial  institutions.  At times during
     the years,  the balance at any one  financial  institution  may exceed FDIC
     limits.

     Reclassifications:

     Certain  reclassifications  have been made to the 1996 financial statements
     to conform to the 1997 financial statement presentation.

     During 1996 and 1997, the Company was advanced an aggregate of $83,873 by a

                           December 31, 1996 and 1997

3.   Redeemable preferred stock
     --------------------------

     In December  1997,  the Board of  Directors  approved an  amendment  to the
     Articles of Incorporation to authorize 10,000,000 shares of $.001 par value
     preferred  stock.  3,210,487  shares of the Company's  preferred stock were
     designated as redeemable, non-voting,  non-cumulative 8% Series A Preferred
     Stock (see Note 8). The annual 8%  dividend is based upon a $1.00 per share
     value, and is only payable out of earnings.

     The Series A Preferred Stock will be subject to mandatory  redemption.  The
     funds available for redemption will be equal to more than 20% but less than
     50% of annual earnings,  as determined  annually by the Board of Directors,
     but not exceeding cash flow from operations and will  automatically  cancel
     in seven years if not fully redeemed.  The Company may  voluntarily  redeem
     outstanding shares of preferred stock at $1 per share.

4.   Stockholders' equity
     --------------------

     Buy-sell agreement:

     On August 11, 1993, the Company entered into a buy-sell  agreement with the
     existing stockholders which, among other provisions,  requires stockholders
     desiring  to sell or  transfer  shares to a person or entity  other than an
     immediate  family member to first submit a proposal of the sale or transfer
     and its terms to the  Company.  Pursuant to the  agreement,  the Company is
     entitled to a first right  option to purchase  some or all of the shares on
     the terms and price  offered to the buyer after  which,  subject to certain
     provisions,  all  other  individual  shareholders  may  then  purchase  any
     remaining shares not purchased by the Company.  The buy-sell  agreement was
     cancelled January 15, 1998.

     Authorized capital:

     Pursuant  to the  recapitalization  more  fully  described  in  Note  8, in
     December 1997, the Board of Directors approved an amendment to the Articles
     of  Incorporation  to increase  the  authorized  common  stock to 7,000,000
     shares and to establish its par value at $.001 per share.

     Stock split:

     On December 10,  1997,  the Board of  Directors  approved a  198.36-for-one
     stock split.  Accordingly,  all  references to common shares  including the
     number of shares (except shares authorized),  stock option data, additional
     paid-in capital, and per share information have been retroactively restated
     to reflect the stock  split,  which  presentation  is  consistent  with the
     recapitalization of the Company (see Note 8).

                           December 31, 1996 and 1997

4.   Stockholders' equity (continued)
     --------------------------------

     Private placement:

     As of December 31, 1997,  the Company had commenced a private  placement of
     30 units  (10,000  shares of its $.001 par value  common stock per unit) at
     $27,500 per unit,  $2.75 per share,  which  closed on January 15, 1998 with
     gross proceeds of $825,000 (see Note 8).

     Capital contributions:

     In December 1997, certain shareholders of the Company contributed a portion
     of their  common stock to an  individual  providing  business  advisory and
     legal services to the Company (78,300 shares valued at $156,000) and to the
     Chairman of the  Pharmaceutical  Sciences  Department  of a  university  as
     partial  settlement for research and development  services  (259,042 shares
     valued at $518,000).  The  transactions  were  accounted for based upon the
     fair value of the common shares contributed, approximately $2.00 per share.
     The expense and related capital contributions are reflected at December 31,
     1997.

5.   Basic net loss per share
     ------------------------

     Basic net loss per share is based on the weighted  average number of shares
     outstanding during the periods, 5,220,000 shares. Shares issued for nominal
     consideration are considered outstanding since inception.  Diluted loss per
     share has not been presented as exercise of the  outstanding  stock options
     would have an anti-dilative effect.

6.   Commitments and contingencies
     -----------------------------

     Compensation agreements:

     In 1993,  the Company  entered into a 30 year  compensation  agreement with
     I.B.C.  limited  partners  owning  64.28% of the limited  partnership.  The
     I.B.C.  Limited  Partnership  participated  in  the  early  development  of
     Estrom(R)  (the  medicine) and owned the patent rights to three patents and
     all  intellectual  property rights.  Under the terms of the Agreement,  the
     Company  acquired  all of the patent and  intellectual  property  rights in
     exchange  for  certain  compensation  to the  limited  partners,  which  is
     dependent upon the Company's receipt of a marketing partners  technological
     access  fee  and  royalty   payments.   The  partnership  was  subsequently
     dissolved.  Compensation  under the  agreement  includes a bonus payment of
     $96,420 to be paid at the time the Company is  reimbursed by a drug company
     for past expenses paid for  development of the medicine,  as well as 64.28%
     of a decreasing  payment  rate (3% to 1%) on  cumulative  annual  royalties
     received by the Company.  As of December 31, 1996 and 1997, no  liabilities
     have been accrued with respect to this agreement.

6.   Commitments and contingencies (continued)
     -----------------------------------------

     In a separate agreement with a former I.B.C.  limited partner,  the Company
     has agreed to pay the partner 35.72% of a decreasing  earned payment (3% to
     1% on cumulative annual sales of products by the Company) until October 10,
     2004.  From October 10, 2004 until  October 10, 2014,  the Company will pay
     the partner 17.86% of the earned payment. In accordance with the agreement,
     the  Company  has agreed to pay the former  limited  partner  the amount of
     $40,000  and a minimum  earned  payment  of  $3,572  per  calendar  quarter
     beginning  on  December  1,  1989.  Such  minimum  earned  payment is to be
     evidenced  by a  promissory  note issued each  quarter and payable when the
     Company is either  reimbursed for expenses paid for the  development of the
     medicine or from the first income  received from the Company from net sales
     of the  medicine.  The  quarterly  payments  are to be applied  against the
     earned  payment to be received by the limited  partner.  As of December 31,
     1996, and 1997, the total liability  accrued with respect to this agreement
     totaled $111,440 and $155,495, respectively.

     Consulting Agreement:

     On March 12, 1996, the Company  entered into a Consulting  Agreement with a
     firm  whereby the  Company has to pay the firm up to a $50,000  success fee
     concurrent  with the  Company's  signing of any  agreement  establishing  a
     corporate partnership,  product license, or any other agreement relating to
     the marketing of the medicine.  As of December 31, 1997 50% of this fee had
     been earned and $25,000 had been recorded as a liability and expense.

     Development of New Products Agreement:

     On January 26, 1987, the Company entered into a Development of New Products
     Agreement  with  a  university  whereby  the  university  provides  various
     services  including  research and development,  product  formulations,  and
     clinical supply for the Company relating to its development of the medicine
     on a project by project basis.  Prior to the  commencement of each project,
     the Company and the university will mutually agree on the nature, type, and
     timing of each special  project as well as the terms of compensation to the
     university.  Under the agreement, the university is required to disclose to
     the Company all inventions,  discoveries, or improvements conceived or made
     by the  university  and has  agreed  to  assign  all its  interests  to the
     Company.

6.   Commitments and contingencies (continued)
     -----------------------------------------

     Compensation Agreement:

     During  November  1997,  the Company began  negotiating  with an individual
     regarding compensation for research and development services provided since
     the inception of the Company.  In exchange for these services,  the Company
     agreed  to issue an 8% note  payable  to the  individual  in the  principal
     amount of $1,500,000  maturing  December 31, 2000.  The Company has accrued
     related costs of $1,430,000 as of December 31, 1996, and accrued additional
     liability of $70,000 during the year ended December 31, 1997. Subsequent to
     year end, the Company  converted this obligation to 1,500,000 shares of its
     non-voting,  non-cumulative redeemable 8% Series "A" preferred stock, at $1
     per share,  which was considered to be fair value of the services  received
     by the Company (see Note 8). In addition, effective December 15, 1997 three
     stockholders  of the Company  agreed to transfer a portion of their  common
     stock to provide the individual  with  approximately  5% of the outstanding
     common shares (see Note 4).

     Development and Supply Agreement:

     On January 1, 1997, the Company entered into 10 year Development and Supply
     Agreements  with  Mallinckrodt,  Inc.  to  develop  all of  the  chemistry,
     manufacturing  and controls to comply with the drug master file of the Food
     and Drug  Administration  as well as supply  the bulk  active  product  for
     marketing.  In  exchange  for these  services,  Mallinckrodt  will  receive
     exclusive rights as a supplier of the bulk active product to the Company in
     North  America.  For the first year ended  December 31, 1997,  the contract
     price of the ingredient will be fixed based on the number of liters ordered
     by the Company. Subsequent to December 31, 1997, the cost per liter will be
     adjusted based on changes in the price of the components in the bulk active
     product.

     In  addition,   pursuant  to  the   agreement,   the  Company  has  granted
     Mallinckrodt a right of first refusal to supply the Company's  requirements
     of the bulk active product in all other parts of the world outside of North
     America.

     Management advisory services agreement:

     On October 28, 1997,  the Company  entered into a 3-year  agreement with an
     organization  providing  management  advisory services to the Company.  The
     organization provides assistance in developing and implementing a strategic
     plan of merger or  acquisition  and for  business and  financial  community
     relations.  The agreement provides compensation,  for arranging a merger or
     acquisition acceptable to the Company,  through the issuance of two options
     to  acquire  180,001  shares  of the  Company's  common  stock for $100 and
     $504,000,  respectively,  simultaneous  with the closing of the merger (see
     Note 8). The options are exercisable for a five-year  period.  In addition,
     the organization received registration rights for the shares underlying the
     options.  The  difference  between  the  fair  value of the  stock  and the
     exercise  price  will be  treated  as  additional  costs of the  merger and
     charged to capital.

7.   Financial instruments
     ---------------------

     The  carrying  values of cash,  accounts  receivable-shareholder,  accounts
     payable  and  advances-shareholders  approximated  fair  value  due  to the
     short-term maturities of these instruments.

     The Company  believes  that it is not  practical  to estimate a fair market
     value different from the carrying value of long-term debt.  Long-term debt,
     excluding the deferred  royalty  agreement,  was converted into  redeemable
     preferred  stock on January 15, 1998.  Both the redeemable  preferred stock
     and the deferred royalty  agreement have numerous  features unique to these
     securities and agreements as described in Notes 3 and 6.

8.   Subsequent events
     -----------------

     Recapitalization:

     On December 9, 1997,  the Company  entered  into an  agreement  and plan of
     merger with Vanden  Capital  Group,  Inc.  (Vanden) to exchange  all of the
     issued and  outstanding  common  shares of the  Company,  in  exchange  for
     5,220,000 shares of Vanden's $.001 par value common stock.

     Pursuant to the  agreement,  Vanden  agreed to have cash of $220,000 and no
     unpaid  liabilities at the effective date of the transaction.  The exchange
     was  consummated  on January  15,  1998.  As a condition  precedent  to the
     exchange,  the  Company  successfully  raised  gross  proceeds  of $825,000
     through a private placement of its common stock (see Note 3).

     Following the exchange, the Company's shareholders own approximately 95% of
     the outstanding  common stock of Vanden. The acquisition has been accounted
     for as a  recapitalization  of the  Company  based  upon  historical  cost.
     Accordingly,  the number authorized and issued common shares,  par value of
     common  stock and  additional  paid-in  capital  have been  restated on the
     balance sheet and the statement of stockholders' equity to give retroactive
     effect to the recapitalization.

     Issuance of preferred stock:

     On January 15, 1998,  the Company issued  3,210,487  shares of its Series A
     redeemable non-voting, non-cumulative 8% preferred stock in exchange for an
     aggregate $1,710,487 of notes payable to shareholders and accrued interest,
     and the $1,500,000 compensation agreement (see Notes 2 and 6).

8.   Subsequent events (continued)
     -----------------------------

     Issuance of common stock:

     In connection with the  recapitalization  effected on January 15, 1998, the
     Company  issued  180,001  shares of its $.001 par value  common stock to an
     unrelated  entity for cash of $100 as required by the  management  advisory
     services  contract (see Note 6). The  difference  between the fair value of
     the stock, estimated by the Company to be $2.00 per share, and the exercise
     price was  treated  as  additional  cost of the  transaction  (merger)  and
     charged to capital,  consistent with accounting for the reverse acquisition
     as a recapitalization.  The net effect of this transaction was to record an
     increase and related decrease to additional paid-in capital of $360,000.

     License agreement:

     In January 1998,  the Company  entered into an agreement with a director of
     the Company, whereby the Company granted the director a non-exclusive right
     to make,  import  and use the  Company's  product,  Esterom(R),  under  the
     Company's   licensed   patents  and  to  use  the  Company's   confidential
     information   to  develop  new  products   that  contain  the  same  active
     ingredients as Esterom(R),  but are formulated  differently.  All rights to
     the improved products will remain the exclusive property of the Company and
     the  director  will  receive a two percent  royalty on the net sales of all
     improved products, and a negotiated royalty on new products. The expiration
     date of this agreement is January 1, 2003.

     Change in tax status:

     The  consummation  of the stock  exchange  with Vanden and the  issuance of
     preferred stock in January 1998,  resulted in a change in the Company's tax
     status from an S corporation  to a taxable  corporation.  The effect of the
     change  would be to provide for income tax based upon  reported  results of
     operations, and to provide deferred tax assets and liabilities on temporary
     differences between reported earnings and taxable income. Since the Company
     has had losses  since  inception,  no change in the  results of  operations
     would  have  occurred,  assuming  the  change  in  status  occurred  at the
     beginning of the periods presented.

     Unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet:

     The following table presents the unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet
     of the  Company  and  Vanden as though  the  combination  had  occurred  on
     December  31,  1997,  giving  effect to the  recapitalization,  the private
     placement and the other subsequent events described above.

9.   Proposed management agreement
     -----------------------------

     During March 1998,  the Company has been  negotiating  an agreement  with a
     company  experienced  in managing  pharmaceutical  development  , including
     providing  assistance  in  taking  pharmaceutical  products  to the FDA and
     through the clinical trials and New Drug Application stages of development.
     The  agreement is proposed to have a 33 month term, at the end of which the
     Company's primary product,  Esterom(R),  may be approved for marketing. The
     Company would be required to pay management fees of approximately  $900,000
     over  the term of the  agreement,  as well as grant  stock  options  to the
     company  within  thirty days after  execution of the  agreement to purchase
     450,000  shares of Entropin  common stock.  The options will have a term of
     five years from the grant date and an exercise price of $1.50.  The options
     will be exercisable in varying amounts on dates ranging from August 1998 to
     December 2000.

     The  difference  between the fair value of the options at date of grant and
     the exercise  price,  estimated to be  approximately  $1,950,000  using the
     Black-Scholes option- pricing model, will be recorded as additional paid-in
     capital and unearned stock  compensation.  The unearned stock  compensation
     will be  amortized  to expense on a  straight-line  basis over the 33 month
     term of the agreement.

                         UNAUDITED PRO FORMA INFORMATION



On December  9, 1997,  Vanden  Capital  Group,  Inc.  (Vanden)  entered  into an
agreement and plan of merger to acquire all of the issued and outstanding shares
of Entropin Inc. (Entropin) in exchange for 5,220,000 shares of Vanden $.001 par
value common stock and $220,000 in cash.

After  the  exchange   Entropin   shareholders  own  approximately  95%  of  the
outstanding  common stock of the surviving  company.  The Entropin  shareholders
have appointed a new Board of Directors who have in turn elected new officers.

Entropin is a pharmaceutical  research company developing Estrom(R), a topically
applied  compound for the treatment of impaired range of motion  associated with
acute lower back sprain and acute painful shoulder.

The following unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet and unaudited pro forma
combined  statement  of  stockholders'  equity  (deficit)  assume  the  exchange
occurred on December 31, 1997 and combines the financial  positions of Vanden as
of  November  30,  1997,  and  Entropin  as of  December  31,  1997,  using  the
assumptions   described  in  the  accompanying  notes.  Since  Entropin  is  the
predominant  entity,  this combination is accounted for as a recapitalization of
Entropin.

The  unaudited  pro forma  results  of the  combined  operations  of Vanden  and
Entropin  are not  presented  because  the  combination  is  accounted  for as a
recapitalization at historical cost, not a business combination.

Vanden received shareholder approval to effect the recapitalization and to amend
its  Articles  of  Incorporation  to  change  Vanden's  name to  Entropin  Inc.,
effective January 15, 1998.

           NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The pro forma  adjustments  assume the reverse split of Vanden common stock at 1
share for 300 shares,  the  issuance of 5,220,000  shares of Vanden's  $.001 par

stock at $2.75 per  share,  the  issuance  of  180,001  shares  of common  stock
pursuant to exercise of stock option issued in connection with  recapitalization
and the issuance of 3,210,487 shares of the Series "A" preferred stock at $1 per
share.

The acquisition is accounted for as  recapitalization of Entropin and therefore,
assets and liabilities are combined at historical cost.

assumptions.

     ($74,658),  payment of existing Vanden liabilities ($12,643),  and issuance
     of 180,001  shares of common stock.  Costs incurred by Vanden to effect the
     exchange  included legal fees, proxy costs and compensation to officers and
     directors.

B.   Reverse  split of Vanden  common  stock at 1 share for 300  shares  and the
     increase par value thereof from $.0001 per share to $.001 per share.

C.   Issuance of Vanden common stock in exchange for Entropin common stock.

D.   Issuance of 300,000 shares of the Company's common stock at $2.75 per share
     pursuant to a private  placement  effective January 15 1998, gross proceeds
     of $825,000 less offering and merger expenses of $26,890.

E.   Issuance of 3,210,487 shares of $.001 par value preferred stock in exchange
     for notes  payable and  accrued  interest of  $1,710,487  and  compensation
