                   The West Company, Incorporated and Subsidiaries
                      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 March 31,  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  March 31,  1995  and  the
             related unaudited  Consolidated Statement  of  Income and  the
             unaudited  Condensed Consolidated Statement  of Cash Flows for
             the three  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 March  31, 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

          4.   Common stock issued at March 31, 1995 was 16,844,735 shares,
               of which 318,985 shares were held in treasury.  Dividends of
               $.12 per common share were paid in the first quarter of 1995
               and  a  dividend of  $.12 per  share  payable to  holders of
               record on April 19, 1995 was declared on March 7, 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 is sufficient
               to cover the future costs of  required 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.   Subsequent  event:  On April  27, 1995 the Company announced
               that it  completed  its acquisition  of PACO  Pharmaceutical
               Services,  Inc., a  public company  traded over-the-counter.
               The merger follows the completion of a cash tender offer for
               PACO common stock at $12.25  per share.  PACO will become  a
               wholly-owned  subsidiary  of   the  Company,  and   will  be
               consolidated beginning in the second quarter of 1995.

               The following table presents selected  financial information
               for the year  ended December  31, 1994 on  a proforma  basis
               assuming  the acquisition  of  100% of  PACO Pharmaceuticals
               Services, Inc.  and subsidiaries  had occured on  January 1,
               1994 and $1.4 million of savings related to synergies of the
               companies had been realized.
