for the six month period.  Stated in local currency,  foreign sales approximated
dollar sales for the above period.

     Domestic sales increased due to selective price increases and unit gains.

     Interest,  dividends  and other  income  for the first six months was lower
than the comparable prior period,  primarily due to a decrease in long term
security holdings.

     The cost of goods sold percentage to sales was 32.1% and 33.6% in the first
six months of the current and prior year,  respectively.  These percentages were
affected by mix of products  sold,  selective  price increases as well as
improved manufacturing operations.

     Selling,  general and administrative expenses, most of which are related to
advertising  and  promotional  activities,  were 61.9% of sales in the first six
months of the  current  year,  compared  with 59.6% in the prior  period.  These
expenses have increased to reflect a major spending  program to meet significant
competition and build brand equities.

     As a result of the above, pretax income was 9.8% of sales in the first half
of the current period compared to 11.1% in the comparable prior year period.

     The effective  income tax rates of 23.7% and 21.6% in the first half 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.

Liquidity & Capital Resources

     Cash increased for the six months ended September 30, 1994 to $16.4 million
from  $8.9  million  at  year-end  March 31,  1994.  The net  increase  resulted
primarily from net sales of securities, a decrease in other  current  assets and
an increase in accrued  expenses.  This  was partially  offset  by  decreases in
debt, capital expenditures and increases in inventories, accounts receivable and
other assets.

     In the prior year six  months  cash  increased  to $8.6  million  from $6.6
million of year-end  March 31, 1993.  The net increase  resulted  primarily from
higher  short-term  debt,  accrued  expenses and income taxes payable  partially
offset  by  increases  in other  accrued  assets,  capital  expenditure  and net
purchases of securities.
