          Item 5.   Other Events.

               On January 5, 1995, AMDURA Corporation ("AMDURA") jointly
          with The Network Company II Limited ("Network") and John W.
          Gildea ("Gildea"), filed with the Securities and Exchange
          Commission a Schedule 13D relating to, among other things,
          AMDURA's acquisition of 100,000 shares, and warrants to purchase
          an additional 180,000 shares, of Class A Common Stock of
          Spreckels Industries, Inc. (the "Company").  The filing
          contained, among other things, the following statements:

                    "On December 30, 1994, AMDURA acquired beneficial
               ownership of the [100,000 shares of Class A Common
               Stock and warrants exercisable until September 2, 2001
               to purchase 180,000 shares of Class A Common Stock for
               $9.17 per share (together, the "AMDURA Shares")], for
               aggregate consideration of $1,100,000.  Network
               acquired [its 130,000 shares of Class A Common Stock
               (the "Network Shares")], prior to the period beginning
               60 days prior to December 30, 1994.

                    AMDURA, Network and Gildea have filed this
               Schedule 13D jointly because their common interest in
               pursuing and promoting the possibility of a business
               combination of AMDURA and the Company may result in
               their being considered a "group" formed for the
               purposes of acquiring, holding or disposing of
               securities of the Company.

                    During the past several months, several meetings
               have taken place between representatives of AMDURA and
               those of the Company, as well as between
               representatives of AMDURA and other stockholders of the
               Company, regarding a potential business combination of
               AMDURA and the Company.  No agreement or understanding
               was reached between AMDURA and the Company regarding
               such a business combination as a result of the
               discussions between representatives of AMDURA and those
               of the Company.

                    On January 4, 1995 AMDURA sent a letter to the
               Board of Directors of the Company setting forth a
               specific proposal for a business combination of AMDURA
               and the Company.... There can be no assurance that
               AMDURA's proposal will be pursued by the Company, or
               that the proposal will not be modified, withdrawn or
               abandoned by AMDURA.

                    AMDURA acquired the AMDURA Shares in order to
               obtain a significant equity position in the Company. 
               Network and Gildea acquired the Network Shares for the
               purpose of investment.  Each of AMDURA and Network has

                                        - 2 -<PAGE>
<PAGE>
               the absolute right to vote its shares of Class A Common
               Stock as it individually determines.  AMDURA expects to
               continually review its equity position in the Company,
               and to seek one or more meetings with management of the
               Company and/or other stockholders of the Company in the
               future in order to pursue its interest in a business
               combination with the Company or to pursue other matters
               relating to its equity interest in the Company.  AMDURA
               may also in the future determine to take one or more
               actions in connection with its equity interest in the
               Company or otherwise that could include one or more of
               the transactions described in clauses (a) through (j)
               of Item 4 of Schedule 13D.  Depending upon market
               conditions and other factors that any of AMDURA,
               Network or Gildea may deem material to their respective
               investment and other decisions, any one or more of them
               may purchase additional shares of Class A Common Stock
               in the open market, in private transactions or by any
               other permissible means or may dispose of all or a
               portion of the shares of Class A Common Stock that are
               presently owned or hereafter acquired."

               A copy of the January 4, 1995 letter from AMDURA to the
          Board of Directors of the Company is filed herewith as Exhibit
          99.

               John W. Gildea is a director of AMDURA.
