STOKELY-VAN CAMP, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(UNAUDITED)
DECEMBER 31, 1993

Note 1 - Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

The condensed consolidated financial statements include Stokely-Van Camp, 
Inc. (a wholly-owned subsidiary of The Quaker Oats Company, or "Quaker") 
and its subsidiaries (the "Company").  The condensed consolidated statements 
of income and reinvested earnings for the six and three-month periods ended 
December 31, 1993 and 1992, the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of 
December 31, 1993, and the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows 
for the six-month periods ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, have been 
prepared by the Company without audit.  In the opinion of management, these 
financial statements include all adjustments necessary to present fairly the 
financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of December 31, 
1993 and for all periods presented.  All adjustments made have been of a 
normal recurring nature, except for as described below.  Certain information 
and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared 
in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles have been 
condensed or omitted.  The Company believes that the disclosures included 
are adequate and provide a fair presentation of interim period results.  
Interim financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the financial 
position or operating results for an entire year.  It is suggested that these 
interim financial statements be read in conjunction with the audited 
financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Form 
10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1993.

The condensed consolidated interim financial statements as of December 
31, 1992, and for the six-month period then ended, have been restated for 
the adoption, retroactive to July 1, 1992, of Financial Accounting Standards 
Board (FASB) Statement #106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement 
Benefits Other Than Pensions" and Statement #109, "Accounting for Income 
Taxes."  The combined cumulative effect of adoption was an after-tax 
charge of $14.0 million.  The incremental effect of adopting FASB Statement 
#106 on December 31, 1992 six-month operating results was a pretax charge 
of $1.2 million ($0.8 million after-tax).  Excluding the cumulative effect, 
the adoption of FASB Statement #109 had no material effect on results.  

Certain previously reported amounts have been reclassified to conform to 
the current presentation.

Note 2 - Redeemable Preference and Preferred Stock

5% Cumulative Convertible Second Preferred Stock

As of December 31, 1993, authorized shares were 500,000 and issued and 
outstanding shares were 11,073.  The voting 5% Cumulative Convertible Second 
Preferred Stock ($20 par value) is convertible at the holder's option, on a 
share-for-share basis, into non-voting 5% Cumulative Prior Preference Stock 
($20 par value).  

5% Cumulative Prior Preference Stock

As of December 31, 1993, authorized shares were 1,500,000, issued shares were 
753,283 and outstanding shares were 752,950.

Both issues are redeemable at the Company's option for $21 per share.

	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
	OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Six Months Ended December 31, 1993 
Compared With Six Months Ended December 31, 1992

Net sales for the first six months of fiscal 1994 were $466.3 million, up 25 
percent over last year's $372.1 million.  Volumes increased 22 percent versus 
the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to volume increases for 
GATORADE thirst quencher.  Less than 3 percent of the change in sales 
was due to price increases.  The volume increase was a result of the warmer 
summer weather this year versus last year and the conversion of 32 ounce 
glass to a plastic container.

Gross profit margin decreased to 48.0 percent of sales from last year's 49.7 
percent as a result of increased distribution and packaging material costs, 
partially offset by improved product mix.  Selling, general and 
administrative (SG&A) expenses increased $18.4 million, or 11 percent, 
primarily due to higher advertising and merchandising (A&M) expenditures 
for GATORADE thirst quencher, as well as higher other operating expenses.  
SG&A and A&M expenses were both lower as a percentage of sales as a 
result of the significant increase in sales.  A&M expenditures were 25 
percent of sales in fiscal 1994 compared to 29 percent in fiscal 1993.  
Cost of goods sold and SG&A expenses for the first six months of fiscal 
1993 were both restated by $0.6 million, for the adoption, retroactive to 
July 1, 1992, of FASB Statement #106.

The Company continues to focus on supply chain and other efficiency 
initiatives in order to meet the competitive needs of the business 
environment.  In the pursuit of greater shareholder value, these continuous 
improvement initiatives could lead to future charges.

GATORADE thirst quencher continues to represent the Company's key 
profitable growth opportunity.  The attractiveness of the category has 
drawn a number of competitors.

Net interest income of $5.1 million increased $2.2 million from the prior 
year stemming from higher amounts due from The Quaker Oats Company. 

The effective tax rate for the first six months of fiscal 1994 was 40.5 
percent compared to 39.9 percent in the first six months of fiscal 1993.  The 
higher rate was due to the higher U.S. corporate statutory tax rate for 
fiscal 1994 and a retroactive adjustment to January 1, 1993, required by 
new tax legislation, offset by favorable U.S. tax treatment for manufacturing 
facilities in Puerto Rico.

Net income for the first six months of fiscal 1994 was $30.8 million versus 
$2.9 million last year, which included a charge of $14.0 million for the 
after-tax cumulative effect of adopting both FASB Statement #106 and 
Statement #109.

Three Months Ended December 31, 1993 
Compared with Three Months Ended December 31, 1992

Net sales for the second quarter of fiscal 1994 were $118.9 million, up 23 
percent over last year's $96.5 million.  Volumes increased 16 percent.  Price 
increases did not have an effect on sales increases for the quarter.  The 
increase was due to volume increases as well as product mix improvements 
for both GATORADE thirst quencher and VAN CAMP'S products.  



PAGE 9


	MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
	FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS


Gross profit margin increased to 42.2 percent of sales from last year's 38.3 
percent.  The change was a result of improved product mix as well as the 
prior year inclusion of  expenses related to the retooling of certain 
GATORADE thirst quencher production lines.  SG&A expenses increased 
$8.1 million, or 14 percent, primarily due to higher A&M expenditures for 
GATORADE thirst quencher as well as higher other operating expenses.  
SG&A and A&M expenses were both lower as a percentage of sales as a
result of the significant increase in sales.  A&M expenses were 30 percent of 
sales compared to 33 percent in the prior year.  Cost of goods sold and SG&A 
expenses for the second quarter of fiscal 1993 were both restated by $0.3 
million for the adoption of FASB Statement #106.  

Net interest income of $3.0 million increased $1.1 million from the prior 
year stemming from higher amounts due from The Quaker Oats Company.  

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash provided by operating activities of $88.6 million and $110.4 million 
for the six months ended December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, was 
well in excess of the Company's dividends and capital expenditures.  Capital 
expenditures for the first six months of fiscal 1994 and 1993 were $9.8 
million and $12.8 million, respectively, with no material individual 
commitments outstanding.  The Company anticipates that cash flows provided 
by operating activities in fiscal 1994 will exceed working capital 
requirements, dividends and capital expenditures.

The amount due from The Quaker Oats Company increased $78.3 million 
primarily reflecting changes in working capital, mainly collection of trade 
accounts receivable.  The Company has an investing and borrowing 
arrangement under which it loans its available cash to Quaker or borrows 
its short-term cash requirements from Quaker.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits

The Company is currently assessing its actuarial assumptions for pension 
and other postretirement benefits as a result of the general decline in 
interest rates.  These assumptions are used to measure plan assets and 
obligations for pension and other postretirement benefits.  The Company 
is currently determining the impact, if any, that changes in the assumptions 
would have on its financial position and annual employee benefits expense.

Pending Accounting Changes

In November 1992, the FASB issued Statement #112, "Employer's Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits."  The Company has not yet adopted this statement, 
which must be implemented no later than fiscal 1995.  The Company is 
currently determining the impact this statement will have on its financial 
position.
