                      NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

       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. It is
           suggested that these financial statements be read in
           conjunction with financial statements and notes thereto
           included in the Company's 1994 annual report on Form 10-K
           and subsequent quarterly filing.

       2.  During the nine months ended December 31, 1994, the Company
           borrowed $24,511,000 mainly from lines of credit from
           various banks bearing interest at variable rates.

       3.  The Company acquired Goody's Pharmaceutical Company on
           December 16, 1994.  The effect of this acquisition is not
           material to consolidated financial position or results of
           operations of the Company.

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


Operating Results

     Sales of $163.6 million in the third quarter and $489.5
million in the nine months ended December 31, 1994 were 5%
and 6%, respectively above sales for the comparable prior
year.  Foreign sales increased 15% for the quarter and 9% for
the nine month period.  Stated in local currency, sales for
the quarter increased 10% and 8% for the nine months,
respectively.  Domestic sales were higher due to selective
price increases and unit gains.

     Interest, dividends and other income for the nine month
period approximated the prior year.

     The cost of goods sold percentage to sales was 31.8% and
33.7% in the first nine months of the current and prior year,
respectively.  These percentages were affected by selective
price increases, mix of products sold as well as improved
manufacturing operations.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses which
consist mainly of advertising and promotional expenditures
were 62.2% of sales in the first nine months of the current
year, compared with 59.8% in the prior period.  These
expenses have increased to reflect a major spending program
to meet significant competition and build brand equities.

     Due to the above factors, pretax income was 9.6% of
sales in the nine months of the current period compared to
10.5% in the comparable period last year.

     The effective income tax rates of 22.4% and 22.5% in the
first nine months of the current and prior year,
respectively, reflect tax-exempt interest from government
securities and income from the lower tax jurisdictions of
Puerto Rico and Ireland.

Liquidity_&_Capital_Resources

     Cash increased for the nine months ended December 31,
1994 to $12.6 million from $8.9 million at year-end March 31,
1994.  The net increase resulted primarily from a positive
cash flow from operating activities, an increase in accrued
expenses and higher short-term borrowings.  This effect was
partially offset by increases in goodwill and other
intangible assets, capital expenditures and inventories.

     The increase in goodwill and other intangible assets and
short-term borrowings were mainly due to the Goody's
acquisition.

     In the prior year nine months cash increased to $9.7
million from $6.6 million at year-end March 31, 1993.  The
net increase resulted primarily from a positive cash flow
from operations, partially offset by net purchases of
securities, capital expenditures and a reduction in notes
payable.
