                      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.

       2.  During the quarter the Company sold selected assets of its
           U.S. Reed & Carnrick Pharmaceutical Division with annual
           sales of approximately $ 50,000,000.  The Company's
           international pharmaceutical businesses are not included
           in the sale and will operate as they did prior to the
           sale.  This transaction is not expected to have
           an unfavorable impact on the Company's operating results.
           The gain on sale of the segment has been accounted for
           as discontinued operations and prior year financial
           statement has been restated to reflect the discontinuation
           of the segment.  Revenues of the segment for the quarter
           ended June 30, 1995 and 1994 were $ 10,039,000 and
           $13,266,000, respectively.

       3.  The Company has signed a contract to acquire the U.S. Rug
           and Room Deodorizer business of Reckitt & Coleman, Inc.
           The Company will purchase Carpet Fresh and Rug Fresh
           trademarks and exclusive licenses for use of the Airwick
           and Neutra Air trademarks in the Rug and Room Deodorizer
           product category in the United States.  This transaction
           is subject to receipt of regulatory  consents and is
           expected to close in the third calender quarter of 1995.

       4.  During the three months ended June 30, 1995, the Company
           reduced its net borrowings by $ 103,172,000 mainly from
           lines of credit from various banks bearing interest at
           variable rates.

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





Operating Results

     Sales from continuing operations of $178.8 million in
the first quarter ended June 30, 1995 exceeded first quarter
sales of the prior year by 22%.  Foreign sales increased 25%
for the quarter.  Stated in local currency sales for the
quarter increased 16%.  Domestic sales were higher due to
selective price increases and unit gains primarily in
Consumer Products Segment.

     Interest, dividends and other income increased in the
quarter from the comparable year-ago period due to investment
in Block/Kobyashi Joint-Venture and a co-promotion
arrangement in Dental Products Segment.

     The cost of goods sold percent to sales was 31.1% and
32.2% in the first quarter of the current and prior year
respectively.  These percentages were affected by improved
manufacturing operations and mix of products sold, in
addition to selective price increases.

     Selling, general and administrative expenses, most of
which are related to advertising and promotional activities
were 63.5% and 63.4% of sales in the first quarter of the
current year and the prior year, respectively.   These
expenses reflect a major spending program to increase
advertising and promotion to meet significant competition and
build brand equities.

     Due to the above factors, income before taxes were 10.0%
of sales in the first quarter of the current year and 9.1%
in the same period last year.

     The effective income tax rates of 20.5% and 20.9% 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.

     On June 30, 1995 the Company sold selected assets of its
U.S. Reed and Carnrick pharmaceutical division.  The
International Pharmaceutical Business were not included in
this transaction.  For additional information see note 2 to

Consolidated Financial Statement.  This divestiture renews
the Company's focus on its key areas of corporate strength to
help achieve its long-term growth objectives.  The Company
will seek out new opportunities through acquisitions.
Research and Development outlays have been increased in the
continuing effort to develop new and improved products and
line extensions.  During the quarter, the company signed a
contract to acquire the U.S.  Rug and Room Deodorizer
Business of Reckitt and Colman, Inc.  Pursuant to the
agreement, the Company will purchase the Carpet Fresh and Rug
Fresh trademarks and be granted exclusive licenses for use of
the Airwick and Neutra Air trademarks in the Rug and Room
Deodorizer product category in the United States.  This
transaction is subject to receipt of regulatory consents and
is expected to close in the third calendar quarter of 1995.

Financial Condition

     Cash decreased in the current quarter ended June 30,
1995 from year-end March 31, 1995 by $4.2 million.  The
decrease resulted primarily from the reduction in debt and
increased capital expenditures partially offset by the
proceeds from the sale of business segment and increases in
taxes payable and accrued expenses.

     In the prior year first quarter ended June 30, 1994 cash
decreased 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.
