                   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,  1996 should be read in  conjunction with
          the consolidated  financial statements  and notes thereto  of The
          West Company, Incorporated appearing in the Company's 1995 Annual
          Report on Form 10-K.

          
          1.  On January 1, 1996 the Company adopted Statement of Financial
              Accounting Standards No. 121, Accounting for the Impairment of 
              Long-Lived Assets and Long-Lived Assets to Be Disposed Of.  
              This statement requires that long-lived assets and certain
              intangibles be reviewed for impairment whenever events or 
              changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount
              of an asset may not be recoverable.  As of January 1, 1996, 
              no material impact resulted from the adoption of this
              accounting standard.
                                  
          2. Interim Period Accounting Policy
             ---------------------------------
             In  the   opinion  of  management,   the  unaudited  Condensed
             Consolidated  Balance Sheet  as  of  March  31, 1996  and  the
             related  unaudited Consolidated  Statement  of  Operations and
             the unaudited Condensed  Consolidated Statement of Cash  Flows
             for the three month  period then ended and for the comparative
             period in  1995 contain  all adjustments,  consisting only  of
             normal  recurring accruals,  necessary to  present  fairly the
             financial position  as of  March 31, 1996 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 and the restructuring  charge are
             recorded  on a  basis discrete to  the period; prior year
             adjustments, if any, are recorded as identified.


          3. Inventories at  March  31,  1996  and December  31,  1995  are
             summarized as follows:

               determined as follows:

          5.   Common stock issued at March 31, 1996 was 16,844,735 shares,
               of which 203,614 shares were held in treasury.  Dividends of
               $.13 per common share were paid in the first quarter of 1996
               and  a  dividend of  $.13 per  share  payable to  holders of
               record on April 17, 1996 was declared on March 11, 1996.

          6.   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
               $1.6  million at March 31,  1996 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.

          7.   On   March  29,   1996,   the  Company   approved  a   major
               restructuring plan which includes the closing or substantial
               downsizing  of six manufacturing  facilities, disposition of
               related excess  equipment and properties and  an approximate
               5% reduction of  the workforce.  The  total estimated charge
               related to these planned actions is $15 million, net of $6.5
               million of income tax benefits, and was accrued in the first
               quarter of  1996.  Approximately one-third of the net charge
               relates  to reduction in  personnel, including manufacturing
               and  staff positions,  and  covers severance  pay and  other
               benefits  to  be  provided  to terminated  employees.    The
               remaining accrued net charge  relates to facility close down
               costs and to the reduction to estimated net realizable value
               of  the  carrying value  of  equipment  and facilities  made
               excess  by  the  restructuring  plan.     The  restructuring
               activities will be substantially complete  by the end of the
               first quarter of 1997.

          8.   On March 30, 1992, OCAP Acquisition Corp. ("OCAP") commenced
               an  action in  the Supreme Court  of the State  of New York,
               County   of  New   York,  against   Paco,  certain   of  its
               subsidiaries  and  R.  P.  Scherer  Corporation ("Scherer"),
               Paco's   former   parent    company,   (collectively,    the
               "defendants"), arising  out of  the termination of  an Asset
               Purchase  Agreement dated  February 21, 1992  (the "Purchase
               Agreement") between OCAP  and the  defendants providing  for
               the  purchase of substantially all  the assets of  Paco.  On
               May 15, 1992, OCAP served an amended verified complaint (the
               "Amended Complaint"), asserting causes  of action for breach
               of contract and breach of the implied covenant of good faith
               and  fair dealing, arising out of defendants' March 25, 1992
               termination  of  the  Purchase  Agreement, as  well  as  two
               additional causes of action that were subsequently dismissed
               by order of  the court.   The Amended  Complaint sought  $75
               million in actual damages, $100 million in punitive damages,
               as  well  as  OCAP's  attorney  fees  and  other  litigation
               expenses, costs and disbursements incurred in bringing  this
               action.   Scherer asserted  a counterclaim against  OCAP for
               breach  of contract and breach of the covenant of good faith
               and fair  dealing  arising out  of  the termination  of  the
               Purchase  Agreement.   This  matter  went to  trial  in late
               March, 1996, and on April  10, 1996, at the close  of trial,
               the court dismissed all of the plaintiffs' claims and all of
               defendants' counterclaims,  with each  side to bear  its own
               costs.  A proposed  form of judgement has been  submitted to
               the court  but has yet  to be  entered.  In  the opinion  of
               management, the ultimate outcome of this litigation will not
               have a material adverse effect on the Company's  business or
               financial condition.

               Scherer has agreed to indemnify Paco against any liabilities
               (including fees and expenses  incurred after March 31, 1992)
               it may have as a result of this litigation matter.

          9.   Subsequent event:   On April 30, 1996  the Company announced
               that  its  Board  of  Directors  approved  an  agreement  to
               purchase  440,000 shares  of  its common  stock  owned by  a
               director who  retired from  the Board of  Directors, for  an
               aggregate purchase price of approximately $10 million.

          Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
          --------------------------------------------------------------
          Results of Operations.
          ----------------------
           
          Results of Operations for the Quarter Ended March 31, 1996 Versus
          -----------------------------------------------------------------
          March 31, 1995.
          ------------------------

          Net Sales
          ---------
          Net  sales for  the first  quarter of  1996 were  $113.9 million,
          19.7% or $18.7 million  higher compared with the same  quarter in
          1995.   Net  sales of Paco  Pharmaceutical Services,  Inc. (Paco)
          totalled $16.1 million which  was acquired in the second  quarter
          of 1995.  The remaining part of the sales increase was the result
          of  higher  product  sales to  healthcare  markets  due to  price
          increases initiated  in the fourth  quarter 1995  and volume  and
          product mix  changes.   Only Latin America  reported lower  sales
          when compared  with  1995  due  to  low demand  as  a  result  of
          government policies.   Sales  of the Company's  Spout-Pak closure
          system for gable carton juice containers increased, but were more
          than  offset  by lower  demand for  other  products sold  in U.S.
          consumer products markets.

          Gross Profit 
          ------------
          Gross profit for the quarter was 27.5% of net sales compared with
          34.1% in the first quarter of 1995.  Latin America's lower demand
          and  low production  levels  had a  significant  impact on  gross
          margins for  the quarter, as did  lower-margin service operations
          provided by  Paco.   Material costs  and product  mix also  had a
          negative  impact.  Monthly  trends   in  the  core  business  are
          improving  as   raw  material   prices   stabilize  and   pricing
          initiatives take hold.   Future results will reflect  the impacts
          of  the  restructuring  plan  which  will  create  focused,  more
          efficient  factories and will enable the Company to shift certain
          production  to lower-cost  facilities.   The plan  calls  for the
          closing   or   substantial   downsizing  of   six   manufacturing
          facilities.     The   total   reduction  in   the  workforce   of
          approximately 5% includes both production and staff positions.

          Selling, General and Administrative
          -----------------------------------
          Selling,  general and  administrative  (SG&A)  increased by  $1.9
          million  for the first quarter 1996 compared with 1995.  However,
          SG&A  is  lower  as a  percentage  of  sales  for the  comparable
          periods.   Excluding the consolidation  of Paco, the  increase in
          SG&A  is 5.4% compared  with 1995,  reflecting, in part, higher 
          self-insured claims and other business taxes.

                                                                    Page 11

          ---------------------------------------------------------------------
          and Results of Operations (Continued).
          --------------------------------------

          Other (Income), Expense
          ----------------------- 
          The  restructuring  charge  totalled  $21.5  million covering  an
          approximate  $8.4  million for  severance  and  $13.1 million  of
          losses on disposition of excess equipment and facilities.

          Miscellaneous  income of  $0.1 million includes  foreign exchange
          gains and lower interest income versus exchange losses and higher
          interest income for the comparable period in 1995. 

          Interest Expense, Minority Interests, and Equity in Affiliates
          --------------------------------------------------------------
          Higher  average debt  levels  to  finance acquisitions  increased
          interest  expense in 1996 by 13.5%, or $.2 million, when compared
          with 1995.

          Minority interests are lower reflecting the buyout in 1995 of the
          remaining minority ownership in Schubert Seals A/S.

          Equity in net  income of affiliated  companies increased by  $0.6
          million  for the  first quarter  1996 when  compared to  the same
          period in 1995.  The Company's affiliate in Japan reported income
          for the quarter compared  with a loss for the  first quarter
          in 1995 and the Company's  affiliate in Mexico reported breakeven
          results in 1996 versus a loss in the same period in 1995.

          Taxes
          -----
          Excluding the restructuring charge and the tax benefit on the  
          restructuring  charge the tax rate for the first quarter 
          was 38.5%,  reflecting  a   higher proportion  of earnings in 
          jurisdictions with higher rates.  This is higher than the estimated 
          annual effective  tax rate of 37% in the first quarter of 1995.  
          The effective annual tax rate for the full  year 1995 was  32.8%, 
          which reflected  a change in  the tax accounting method for 
          Puerto Rico and the recorded benefit of tax credits which  were 
          assured realization.  Excluding the impact of these  adjustments,  
          the  tax  rate   in  1995  would  have  been approximately 36%.

          Net Income/Loss
          ----------------
          Net loss for the first quarter 1996 was $8.2 million, or $.49 per
          share, compared with  net income  for the first  quarter 1995  of
          $8.2 million, or $.50 per share.  The total net restructuring 
          charge in  the first quarter  1996 was  $15 million, or  $.90 per
          share.


                                                                    Page 12

          Financial Position
          ------------------
          Working capital at March 31, 1996 was $77.6 million compared with
          $86.6 million  at December 31,  1995.  Working  capital decreased
          primarily  because  of  the   liabilities  associated  with   the
          restructuring  plan.  The working capital ratio at March 31, 1996
          was 2.05  to 1.  Available  cash, cash flows from  operations and
          proceeds  from  new borrowings  were  adequate  to cover  capital
          expenditures, pay dividends and repay maturing debt.

          Total debt as a percentage of total invested capital was 30.9% at
          March 31,  1996, compared with  31.0% at  December 31, 1995.   At
          March  31, 1996, the Company had available unused lines of credit
          of  $79.6 million.    This available borrowing  capacity and cash
          flow  from operations is adequate, in  the opinion of management,
          to cover  estimated cash  requirements, including  acquisition of
          440,000 shares  of  the  Company's common  stock  (see  note  8),
          severance costs  related to  the restructuring plan,  and capital
          expenditures.

          Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
                  ------------------

          A. OCAP Litigation
            ---------------
          On March 30, 1992,  OCAP Acquisition Corp. ("OCAP") commenced  an
          action in the Supreme Court  of the State of New York,  County of
          New York, against  Paco, certain  of its subsidiaries  and R.  P.
          Scherer  Corporation ("Scherer"),  Paco's former  parent company,
          (collectively, the "defendants"), arising  out of the termination
          of  an  Asset Purchase  Agreement  dated February  21,  1992 (the
          "Purchase Agreement")  between OCAP and the  defendants providing
          for the purchase of substantially all the assets of Paco.  On May
          15, 1992, OCAP served an amended verified complaint (the "Amended
          Complaint"), asserting  causes of  action for breach  of contract
          and  breach  of  the implied  covenant  of  good  faith and  fair
          dealing, arising out of defendants' March 25, 1992 termination of
          the  Purchase Agreement,  as  well as  two  additional causes  of
          action  that were subsequently  dismissed by order  of the court.
          The Amended Complaint  sought $75 million in actual damages, $100
          million  in punitive damages, as well as OCAP's attorney fees and
          other litigation  expenses, costs  and disbursements incurred  in
          bringing this  action.   Scherer asserted a  counterclaim against
          OCAP  for breach of contract  and breach of  the covenant of good
          faith  and fair  dealing arising  out of  the termination  of the
          Purchase Agreement.   This matter  went to trial  in late  March,
          1996, and  on April 10,  1996, at the  close of trial,  the court
          dismissed  all of the  plaintiffs' claims and  all of defendants'
          counterclaims, with each side to bear its own costs.  A  proposed
          form of judgement has been submitted  to the court but has yet to
          be entered.  In  the opinion of management, the  ultimate outcome
          of this litigation will not have a material adverse effect on the
          Company's business or financial condition.

          Scherer  has agreed  to  indemnify Paco  against any  liabilities
          (including fees  and expenses incurred  after March 31,  1992) it
          may have as a result of this litigation matter.

          See  the  Note  8  to Consolidated  Financial  Statements,  which
          information is incorporated herein by reference.
