                      Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
           

          Interim  results  are based  on  the  Company's accounts  without
          audit.   The  interim consolidated  financial statements  for the
          quarter  ended June 30, 1995  should be read  in conjunction with
          the consolidated  financial statements  and notes thereto  of The
          West Company, Incorporated appearing in the Company's 1994 Annual
          Report on Form 10-K.

          1. Interim Period Accounting Policy
             ---------------------------------
             In  the  opinion   of  management,  the  unaudited   Condensed
             Consolidated  Balance Sheet  as  of  June  30,  1995  and  the
             related unaudited  Consolidated Statements  of Income for  the
             three and  six months  then ended and the  unaudited Condensed
             Consolidated Statement  of Cash Flows for the six month period
             then  ended and for  the comparative  periods in  1994 contain
             all   adjustments,   consisting   only  of   normal  recurring
             accruals, necessary to  present fairly the financial  position
             as  of June  30, 1995 and the  results of  operations and cash
             flows for the respective periods.   The results  of operations
             for  any interim  period  are  not necessarily  indicative  of
             results for the full year.

             Operating Expenses
             ------------------
             To better relate costs  to benefits received or activity in an
             interim   period,  certain   operating   expenses   have  been
             annualized  for interim  reporting  purposes.   Such  expenses
             include depreciation due  to use of the half-year  convention,
             certain  employee benefit  costs,  annual  quantity discounts,
             and advertising.

             Income Taxes
             -------------
             The tax rate used  for interim periods is the estimated annual
             effective  consolidated tax  rate, based  on current estimates
             of  full  year  results,  except  that  taxes   applicable  to
             operating results in Brazil are  recorded on a  basis discrete
             to  the  period  and  prior  year  adjustments,  if  any,  are
             recorded as identified.

          2. Inventories  at  June  30,  1995  and  December  31, 1994  are
             summarized as follows:

          3.   The  carrying  value of  property,  plant  and equipment  is
               determined as follows:
                                                                  Audited

          4.   Common stock issued at June 30,  1995 was 16,844,735 shares,
               of which 309,242 shares were held in treasury.  Dividends of
               $.12 per common  share were  paid in the  second quarter  of
               1995 and a dividend  of $.12 per share payable to holders of
               record on July 19, 1995 was declared on May 2, 1995.

          5.   The Company has accrued  the estimated cost of environmental
               compliance  expenses   related  to  soil  or   ground  water
               contamination   at   current   and    former   manufacturing
               facilities.  The ultimate cost to be incurred by the Company
               and the timing of such payments cannot be  fully determined.
               However,  based on  consultants' estimates  of the  costs of
               remediation   in   accordance  with   applicable  regulatory
               requirements, the Company believes the accrued  liability of
               $1,200  at June 30, 1995  is sufficient to  cover the future
               costs of  these remedial actions, which will  be carried out
               over the  next  two to  three years.   The  Company has  not
               anticipated  any possible  recovery from insurance  or other
               sources.

          6.   On  April 27, 1995  the Company announced  that it completed
               its acquisition  of Paco  Pharmaceutical Services,  Inc. and
               subsidiaries,  ("Paco") a  public  company traded  over-the-
               counter.   The  merger followed  the  completion of  a  cash
               tender offer  for Paco  common  stock at  $12.25 per  share.
               Paco became  a wholly-owned  subsidiary of the  Company, and
               has been consolidated beginning on May 1, 1995.

               The following table  presents selected financial information
               for the six months  ended June 30, 1995 on  a proforma basis
               assuming the  acquisition of  100% of  Paco had occurred  on
               January 1, 1995 and $0.5 million of cost savings, (pro-rated
               over the  first  four months)  related to  synergies of  the
               companies had been realized.
