       1.  In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated
           financial statements include all adjustments (consisting of
           only normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair
           presentation of the data for the interim periods.

       2.  During the three months ended June 30, 1994, the Company reduced
           its net borrowings by $13,741,000 mainly from lines of credit from

           BLOCK DRUG COMPANY, INC. & SUBSIDIARIES
             MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
         OF OPERATING RESULTS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION



Operating Results

     Sales of $160.0 million in the first quarter ended June
30, 1994 exceeded first quarter sales of the prior year by
6%.  Foreign sales were even with the prior year partially
due to a stronger U.S. dollar relative to foreign currencies.
Domestic sales were higher due to selective price increases
and unit gains.

     Interest, dividends and other income increased in the
current quarter from the comparable year-ago period
principally due to increased investment in marketable and
long term securities.

     The cost of goods sold percentage to sales was 31.8% and
33.2% in the first quarter of the current and prior year,
respectively.  These percentages were affected by selective
price increases and the mix of products sold.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, most of
which are related to advertising and promotional activities,
were 62.7% and 57.5% of sales in the first quarter of the
current and prior year, respectively.  These expenses have
increased to reflect a major spending program to increase
advertising and promotion behind core business to build brand
equities and meet significant competition.

     Due to the above factors income before income taxes were
9.7% of sales in the first quarter of the current year and
13.5% in the same period last year.

     The effective income tax rates of 23.4% and 23.0% in the
first quarter of the current and prior year, respectively,
reflect tax-exempt interest from government securities and
income from the lower tax areas of Puerto Rico and Ireland.

Financial Condition

     Cash decreased in the current quarter ended June 30,1994
from year-end March 31, 1994 by $8.9 million.  The decrease
resulted primarily from decreases in debt and an increase in
capital expenditures, accounts receivable, inventories and
other assets partially offset by an increase in accrued
expenses and decrease in other current assets.  The increase
in accounts receivable was partially due to higher sales.

     In the prior year first quarter ended June 30, 1993 cash
increased to $6.9 million from $6.6. million at year-end
March 31, 1993.  The increase resulted primarily from
increases in short-term debt, accrued expenses and income
