Note 1: Interim Reports
The results of the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of
results expected for a full year's operations. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of results of
these interim periods have been reflected in these financial statements
and, except as separately disclosed herein, are of a normal recurring
nature.
Note 2: Review of Independent Auditors
The financial information included in this report has been reviewed by KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP, independent auditors, in accordance with standards and
procedures established by the American Institute of Certified Public
Accountants. All adjustments or additional disclosures proposed by KPMG
Peat Marwick LLP have been reflected in the data presented and a copy of
their report on this limited review is included in this Form.
Note 3: Acquisitions
In August, 1994, the Company acquired the Sante Beaute line of products in
France for approximately $21,200,000. This business consists of the Email
Diamant oral hygiene products, Lineance body care products and other skin
and bath products.
In August, 1994, the Company acquired Technogenetics S.r.l., a subsidiary
of Recordati S.p.A. for approximately $5,900,000 in Italy. Technogenetics
manufactures and sells diagnostic test kits used by clinical laboratories

DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993

Note 4: Restructuring of Operations and Facilities
Prompted by the discontinuance of its line of iodinated glycerol
formulation of Organidin products (see note 6) and by the significant
adverse effect on existing and potential sales of Felbatol (felbamate) due
to use restrictions required by the Federal Food and Drug Administration
("FDA") (see note 5) the Company is engaged in a restructuring program
which is intended to reduce costs and increase efficiencies.
As part of the restructuring program, the Company has substantially reduced
its pharmaceutical sales force and marketing support staff and virtually
eliminated its Wallace Laboratories Division internal research and
development capability. However, the Company will continue its research
and development of Astelin (azelastine) for rhinitis and asthma, and
taurolidine, an antitoxin for the treatment of sepsis, and to the extent
such work exceeds the Company's remaining internal research and development
resources, such work will be done through independent research facilities.
The consolidation of its manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Puerto
Rico, when completed, will result in the closure of certain of the
Company's plants and significantly reduced production at one plant.
In connection with the restructuring described above, the Company incurred
a one-time pre-tax charge in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 of
$49,000,000 consisting primarily of plant closing costs including equipment
write-offs ($24,500,000) and employee termination costs ($20,600,000).
As part of its restructuring program, the Company further reduced its
workforce subsequent to December 31, 1994 and is in the process of
relocating one of its divisions to its Cranbury, New Jersey facility. In
this regard, the Company incurred a one-time pre-tax restructuring charge
of $20,500,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1994, consisting primarily
of estimated costs associated with the planned subleasing of office space
on which the Company holds a long-term lease ($19,400,000). An additional
one-time pre-tax charge of approximately $6,500,000 relating to employee
termination costs will be incurred in the fourth quarter ending March 31,
1995 and a $1,800,000 charge related to the office relocation is expected
to be incurred in the fiscal year ending March 31, 1996. Recently
announced accounting pronouncements do not permit these severance and
relocation costs to be recorded in the December, 1994 period.
The total reduction in the number of employees is approximately 790
including 85 vacancies that will not be filled and represents 41% of the
Company's pharmaceutical sales force and 27% of its total domestic
workforce. In connection with the restructuring, the Company has virtually
eliminated its Wallace Laboratories Division internal research and
development capability.
The Company is continuing to review its operations and may take other steps
to reduce costs and increase efficiencies in the future which may result in
additional one-time charges.

Note 5: Felbatol (felbamate)
On August 1, 1994, the Company disclosed that it had sent a letter to
approximately 240,000 physicians recommending, in conjunction with the FDA,
the immediate withdrawal of patients from treatment with Felbatol
(felbamate), unless, in the physician's judgment, an abrupt withdrawal
would be deemed to pose a more serious risk to the patient.
Carter-Wallace's recommendation was prompted by reports of ten cases of
aplastic anemia in association with the use of Felbatol. No such cases
were observed during the premarketing, clinical testing and development of
Felbatol.
On September 21, 1994, after discussions with the FDA, the Company mailed a
letter alerting physicians to the risk of acute liver failure in
association with the use of Felbatol and the need to monitor liver function
in all patients who are still taking the drug.
On September 27, 1994, the FDA's Peripheral and Central Nervous System
Drugs Advisory Committee met to discuss the continued availability of
Felbatol. The Committee recommended that the drug remain available only
for patients with severe epilepsy for whom the benefits outweigh the risks,
and that changes be made to the product's labeling to reflect the risk of
acute liver failure.
Carter-Wallace introduced Felbatol in September, 1993 for the treatment of
partial seizures with and without secondary generalization in adults and
for Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, a serious form of childhood epilepsy.
Due to substantial introductory spending levels and continued research and
development, the Company incurred losses with respect to Felbatol since
introduction and for the three months and nine months ended December 31,
1994.
As a result of the Felbatol matters discussed above, the Company incurred
in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 a one-time pre-tax charge of
$36,640,000 primarily related to inventory write-offs ($15,500,000),
purchase and other commitments ($9,400,000) and anticipated product returns
including trade announcements ($4,900,000). At the present time Felbatol
continues to be available on the market. If, as a result of the matters
discussed above, the product at some future date is no longer available in
the market, the Company will incur an additional one-time charge that would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
possibly on its financial condition. Should the product no longer be
available, the Company currently estimates that the additional one-time
charge consisting primarily of inventory write-offs and anticipated returns
of product currently in the market, will be in the range of $30,000,000 to
$35,000,000 on a pre-tax basis.

Note 5: Felbatol (felbamate) (Continued)
As previously reported, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with
Schering-Plough Corporation, granting Schering-Plough exclusive marketing
rights in all markets except the United States and its territories and
possessions, Canada and Mexico, to Felbatol. Separately, Schering-Plough
and Carter-Wallace agreed that, under certain circumstances, they will put
into effect a co-promotional arrangement with respect to a Schering-Plough
pharmaceutical product to be determined in the future. The matters
discussed above will likely result in a significant adverse effect on the
amount of royalties and fees, if any, to be received from Schering-Plough
in the future under these agreements.
Note 6: Discontinuance of the Organidin (Iodinated Glycerol) Product Line
In June, 1994, the Company and the FDA reached an agreement to discontinue
the manufacture and shipment of the Organidin (iodinated glycerol) line of
products. The agreement between the Company and the FDA permits the
continued shipping, prescribing and dispensing of existing stocks of
Organidin (iodinated glycerol) product currently in channels of
distribution. As previously disclosed by the Company, in April, 1993 the
Company received a letter from the FDA requesting that it discontinue
marketing Organidin (iodinated glycerol) products. Subsequent meetings
between the Company and FDA resulted in this agreement.
As a result of the agreement noted above, the Company incurred in the
quarter ended June 30, 1994 a one-time charge to pre-tax earnings of
$17,500,000 primarily related to a provision for any product returns
($9,400,000) and for inventory write-offs ($3,600,000).
Sales and pre-tax operating profits of the Organidin (iodinated glycerol)
line included in the nine months ended December 31, 1994 were $20,800,000
and $11,400,000, respectively, compared to sales and pre-tax operating
profits included in the nine months ended December 31, 1993 of $53,300,000
and $22,100,000, respectively.
Sales and pre-tax operating profits of the Organidin (iodinated glycerol)
line of products were $59,900,000 and $22,200,000 for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1992, $43,400,000 and $7,600,000 for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1993 and $74,400,000 and $31,600,000 for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1994. Organidin operating profits were computed on a basis consistent
with that used to report operating profits for the Health Care business
segment in the Company's Annual Report.

Note 7: Litigation
Two federal securities class action suits have been filed by stockholders
against the Company and certain of its present and former officers in the
United States District Court, Southern District of New York. The first
action, filed in August, 1994, purports to be on behalf of all persons who
purchased the Company stock in the period from June 6, 1994 through July
31, 1994. The plaintiff filed an amended complaint on November 4, 1994,
purportedly on behalf of all persons who purchased the Company stock in the
period from January 20, 1994 through July 31, 1994. The second action,
filed in October, 1994, seeks to represent a class of persons who purchased
the Company stock from August 24, 1993 through August 1, 1994. Both
complaints allege that certain statements made by the Company with respect
to future sales and marketing prospects for Felbatol were false and
fraudulent, and that the Company omitted to state material facts necessary
to make the statements made not misleading. Both complaints seek damages
in an unspecified amount. In both actions, the complaints allege that a
major stockholder and a former officer of the Company sold Company stock
while in possession of material non-public information and seek
disgorgement of the unspecified profits made from such sales.
In December, 1994, an alleged shareholder of the Company instituted an
action in the Supreme Court of the State and County of New York which
purports to be brought derivatively on behalf and for the benefit of the
Company against the directors of the Company for breach of fiduciary duty,
gross mismanagement and waste of corporate assets in connection with the
development and marketing of Felbatol. The complaint seeks unspecified
compensatory and punitive damages.
A product liability class action was filed against the Company in August,
1994, in the United States District Court, Northern District of California.
The complaint, which was amended in September, 1994, purports to be on
behalf of all persons who suffered or may suffer an injury as a result of
using Felbatol. The complaint alleges that the Company is liable for
strict product liability, negligence, breach of express and implied
warranty and negligent misrepresentation related to side effects of
Felbatol. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages and injunctive relief.
A product liability class action was filed against the Company in October,
1994 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania. The complaint purports to be on behalf of the plaintiff and
all others similarly situated who it is alleged suffered an injury as a
result of using Felbatol. The complaint alleges that the Company is liable
for strict liability, negligence, breach of express and implied warranty,
negligent infliction of emotional distress and violation of state consumer
protection laws. The complaint seeks unspecified compensatory and punitive
damages and establishment of a medical monitoring program.

Note 7: Litigation (Continued)
In addition to the above, three individual product liability suits related
to Felbatol have been filed against the Company in state courts in
Michigan, Texas and West Virginia seeking unspecified compensatory and in
two of the cases unspecified punitive damages.
The Company along with numerous other drug manufacturers, wholesalers,
purchasers and suppliers, was named in a consolidated and amended class
action suit filed in August, 1994 in the California Superior Court, San
Francisco County, brought on behalf of all California community retail
pharmacists who have purchased any brand name prescription drugs since
August, 1989. The complaint alleged that the defendants, including the
Company, entered into a conspiracy to fix prices for brand-name
prescription drugs and gave lower prices to certain favored purchasers
while the alleged favored prices were denied to the plaintiffs. Upon
defendants' motion, the plaintiffs' class claims of price discrimination
were stricken from the complaint and a Second Consolidated and Amended
Complaint ("Second Amended Complaint") filed in December, 1994 repeating
these price discrimination counts as individual claims. The Second Amended
Complaint contains the same substantive class price fixing claims and, like
its predecessor, seeks injunctive relief and unspecified trebled
compensatory damages, restitution of amounts by which defendants were
unjustly enriched and litigation costs.
The Company along with numerous other drug manufacturers has been named in
a class action suit filed July, 1994 in California Superior Court, County
of San Francisco, brought on behalf of a class of California consumers who
purchased drugs from independent retail pharmacies alleging that certain
drug manufacturers and wholesalers, purchasers and suppliers, including the
Company, conspired to fix prices for brand-name prescription drugs that
were sold to California independent retail pharmacists. The complaint
seeks unspecified trebled compensatory damages relating to overcharges,
restitution of amounts by which defendants were unjustly enriched and
litigation costs.
The Company, along with numerous other drug manufacturers, an Alabama drug
wholesaler and a national mail-order pharmacy, had initially been named in
a class action suit filed May, 1994 in the Alabama Circuit Court, Greene
County, brought on behalf of a class of independent drug stores and
pharmacies and alleging that the named, and certain unnamed, defendants
discriminated against the plaintiffs in according more favorable prices to
mail-order pharmacies and large health care providers pursuant to an
alleged conspiracy to regulate or fix the price, or limit the quantity, of
prescription drugs sold in the State of Alabama in violation of Alabama
law. By a First Amended Complaint dated January 17, 1995, the three named
plaintiffs retracted all class claims, restated each of the aforementioned
allegations as individual claims against each of the previously-named
defendants, and added the following two additional state common-law counts:

conspiracy (claiming that the defendants had conspired to restrain or
monopolize trade and essentially repeating the state statutory conspiracy
claim). The First Amended Complaint, like its predecessor, seeks
unspecified compensatory and punitive damages and litigation costs, as well
as injunctive and declaratory relief.
In June, 1993, a suit was filed by Becton Dickinson & Co., in the United
States District Court, Eastern District of North Carolina, against several
companies, including the Company, alleging patent infringement by certain
of the Company's diagnostic products. The complaint seeks injunctive
relief, unspecified compensatory damages and litigation costs.
In October, 1992, a suit was filed by Unilever against the Company's
subsidiary in the United Kingdom alleging patent infringement by certain of
the Company's diagnostic products. The complaint seeks injunctive relief
and unspecified compensatory damages.
The Company believes, based on opinion of counsel, it has good defenses to
each of the above-described legal actions and should prevail.
Additional product liability claims related to Felbatol use have been
threatened against the Company. At this point, the Company cannot evaluate
the merits of such claims and does not know whether or to what extent legal
actions will arise from such claims and, therefore, is unable to predict
the financial impact they may have.
Note 8: Cash Equivalents and Short-Term Investments
The Company has adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)
No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and Equity
Securities".
At December 31, 1994, all such investments were intended to be held to
maturity as defined in SFAS No. 115 and have contractual maturities of less
than one year. The amortized cost approximated fair value. The amortized
cost at December 31, 1994, of U.S. Treasury securities was $10,190,000 and
was classified in the balance sheet in "Cash and Cash Equivalents". The
amortized cost of certificates of deposit and securities issued by the
Canadian government were $9,000,000 and $8,609,000, respectively, and are
classified in "Short-Term Investments".

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
DECEMBER 31, 1994 AND 1993
(Continued)
Note 9: Accounting Changes
The Company provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
retired employees. Effective April 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement
of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 106, "Employers' Accounting
for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions".
SFAS No. 106 requires companies to accrue postretirement benefits during
the years the employees render service until they attain full eligibility
for those benefits. Previously, these costs were recognized as expense as
the premiums were paid. The postretirement benefit plans are unfunded.
The cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 106 as of April 1, 1993,
resulted in a charge of $69,554,000 before taxes or $43,819,000 after taxes
($.96 per share). This non-cash charge represents the accumulated benefit
obligation which the Company has elected to recognize immediately. The
initial postretirement benefit obligation was subsequently reduced as a
result of plan modifications made effective July 1, 1993. In accordance
with SFAS No. 106, this reduction in the obligation is being amortized as a
component of the net periodic postretirement expense in current and future
years.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company adopted SFAS No. 112
"Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits" effective April 1,
1993. SFAS No. 112 requires accrual accounting for benefits provided to
former or inactive employees after employment but before retirement.
Accordingly, results of operations in the three months ended June 30, 1993
and the nine months ended December 31, 1993 have been restated to reflect
the cumulative effect of adopting SFAS No. 112 of $4,700,000 before taxes
or $2,820,000 after taxes ($.06 per share). Annual ongoing costs for these
benefits related to the adoption of this statement are not material.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors
Carter-Wallace, Inc.:
We have reviewed the condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Carter-Wallace, Inc. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 1994, and the
related condensed consolidated statements of earnings for the three-month
and nine-month periods ended December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended
December 31, 1994 and 1993 in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. These condensed
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's
management.
A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical review procedures to financial data, and making inquiries of
persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is
substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a
whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the condensed consolidated financial statements referred
to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Carter-Wallace, Inc. and
subsidiaries as of March 31, 1994, and the related consolidated statements
of earnings and retained earnings, and cash flows for the year then ended
(not presented herein); and in our report dated June 6, 1994, we expressed
an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our
opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying condensed
consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 1994 is fairly stated, in all
material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which
it has been derived.
As discussed in note 9 to the condensed consolidated financial statements,
the Company adopted the provisions of the Financial Accounting Standards
Board's Statements No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions" and No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits" in 1994.

As discussed in note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements,
on September 27, 1994, the Federal Food and Drug Administration (FDA)
Peripheral and Central Nervous System Drugs Advisory Committee met to
discuss the continued availability of Felbatol due to reports of aplastic
anemia and the risk of acute liver failure associated with the use of
Felbatol. The FDA recommended that the drug remain available only for
patients with severe epilepsy for whom the benefits outweigh the risks and
that changes be made to the product's labeling to reflect the risk of acute
liver failure. As a result of the matters discussed above, the Company
incurred in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 a one-time pre-tax charge
of $36,640,000 primarily related to inventory write-offs, purchase and
other commitments and anticipated product returns including trade
announcements. If, as a result of the matters discussed above, the product
at some future date is no longer available in the market, the Company will
incur an additional one-time charge that would have a material adverse
effect on the Company's results of operations and possibly on its financial
condition. The Company currently estimates that the additional one-time
charge consisting primarily of inventory write-offs and anticipated returns
of product currently in the market, will be in the range of $30,000,000 to
$35,000,000 on a pre-tax basis. The ultimate outcome of this matter cannot
presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability
related to this additional one-time charge has been recognized in the
accompanying financial statements.
As discussed in note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements,
the Company is a defendant in several lawsuits including two product
liability class action suits, two federal securities class action suits and
three individual product liability suits related to Felbatol, three class
action suits involving alleged price fixing within the pharmaceutical
industry and two patent infringement suits involving the Company's
diagnostic products. In addition, an alleged shareholder of the Company
instituted an action which purports to be brought derivatively on behalf
and for the benefit of the Company against the directors of the Company for
breach of fiduciary duty, gross mismanagement and waste of corporate assets
in connection with the development and marketing of Felbatol. The Company
believes, based on opinion of counsel, it has good defenses to each of the
above-described legal actions and should prevail. In addition, product
liability claims related to Felbatol use have been threatened against the
Company. At this point, the Company cannot evaluate the merits of such
claims and does not know whether or to what extent legal actions will arise
from such claims, and therefore, is unable to predict the financial impact
they may have. The ultimate outcome of all of these matters cannot
presently be determined. Accordingly, no provision for any liability has
been recognized in the accompanying financial statements.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations - Three months ended December 31, 1994 compared to
three months ended December 31, 1993
Consolidated earnings after taxes in the three months ended December 31,
1994 ("fiscal 1995 period") before the one-time restructuring charge were
approximately $7,800,000 or $.17 per share as compared to net earnings of
approximately $12,900,000 or $.28 per share in the three months ended
December 31, 1993 ("fiscal 1994 period"). The one-time charge for
restructuring resulted in a pre-tax charge of $20,500,000 ($12,400,000
after tax or $.27 per share) in the three months ended December 31, 1994.
(See detailed comments below related to the restructuring charge).
Net sales decreased $19,779,000 (11.2%) in the fiscal 1995 period as
compared to net sales in the fiscal 1994 period. The lower sales level was
attributable to reduced unit volume in the Health Care segment as a result
of the absence of sales of Organidin (iodinated glycerol). Sales of this
formula of Organidin were discontinued in June, 1994. In the prior year
period sales of Organidin (iodinated glycerol), which benefitted from a
decline in sales of competitive products, accounted for 19% of consolidated
sales. Sales of Felbatol were also lower than the prior year period. (See
"Discontinuance of the Organidin (Iodinated Glycerol) Product Line" and
"Felbatol (felbamate)" in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
Condition and Results of Operations). The timing and amount of future
price increases in the Health Care segment may be negatively influenced by
competitive pressures and the possibility of government regulation. Sales
of pharmaceutical products in the Health Care segment continue to be
adversely impacted by generic erosion. Sales were higher in the Consumer
Products segment predominately due to unit volume gains, including sales
from the recently acquired international businesses in France and
Australia, and selling price increases.
Higher foreign exchange rates in comparison with the prior year had the
effect of increasing sales in the fiscal 1995 period by $700,000. The
effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on results of operations in the
fiscal 1995 period compared to the prior year period was not significant.
Other revenues increased $338,000 or 30.0% in the fiscal 1995 period as
compared to the fiscal 1994 period.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 32.4% in the
fiscal 1994 period to 34.5% in the 1995 period primarily due to changes in
product mix.

CARTER-WALLACE, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Advertising, marketing and other selling expenses decreased by $5,302,000
or 8.0% due to a reduced level of spending in the Health Care segment.
This decrease was primarily related to lower spending for Organidin
(iodinated glycerol) and Felbatol. Advertising, marketing and other
selling expenses increased in support of products in the Consumer Products
segment.
Research and development expenses decreased by $7,869,000 or 54.6%. The
Company announced that in October, 1994 it virtually eliminated its Wallace
Laboratories Division internal research and development capability. See
"Restructuring of Operations and Facilities" in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General, administrative and other expenses increased $2,211,000 or 10.7% in
the fiscal 1995 period as compared to the fiscal 1994 period. This
increase primarily relates to employee benefits, a trade receivable reserve
as a result of the bankruptcy of a pharmaceutical wholesaler and other
administrative costs.
Interest expense increased $401,000 (77.7%) in the fiscal 1995 period as
compared to the fiscal 1994 period due to increased borrowing to finance
international acquisitions.
In the fiscal 1995 period, the Company had a 39% annual effective net tax
benefit on its reported consolidated loss. The tax benefit of 39% is
higher than the prior year's tax provision on operations of 31% because
most of the one-time charges are U.S. related and will be deductible for
federal and state income tax purposes. If further one-time charges to
operations are required as a result of the Felbatol issues and/or the
ongoing review of operations and facilities noted below, the annual
effective tax rate in subsequent quarters and for the fiscal 1995 period
could vary from the 39% tax benefit applied in the period ended December
31, 1994. Tax rates in the current and future years are and will be
adversely affected by lower tax savings resulting from substantially
reduced Puerto Rican operations and the absence of research and development
tax credits.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Results of Operations - Nine months ended December 31, 1994 compared to
nine months ended December 31, 1993
Consolidated earnings after taxes in the nine months ended December 31,
1994 ("fiscal 1995 period") before the provision for the loss on the
discontinuance of the Organidin (iodinated glycerol) product line, the one-
time restructuring charges and the provision for loss on Felbatol
(felbamate), an antiepileptic drug for the treatment of certain seizure
disorders, were approximately $23,500,000 or $.51 per share as compared to
net earnings before the cumulative effect of the accounting changes of
approximately $20,100,000 or $.44 per share in the nine months ended
December 31, 1993 ("fiscal 1994 period"). The one-time charges noted above
resulted in a pre-tax charge to income of $123,640,000 ($75,000,000 after
tax or $1.63 per share) in the nine months ended December 31, 1994. (See
detailed comments below related to the discontinuance of Organidin
(iodinated glycerol) sales, restructuring charges and the Felbatol
developments).
Net sales increased $18,620,000 (3.8%) in the fiscal 1995 period as
compared to net sales in the fiscal 1994 period. The higher sales level
was attributable to increased sales in the Consumer Products segment due to
both unit volume gains and selling price increases. The Health Care
segment recorded lower sales due to unit volume decreases partially offset
by selling price increases. Health Care sales were negatively impacted by
the discontinuance of Organidin (iodinated glycerol) sales in June, 1994.
Sales in both the Consumer Products and Health Care segments were
positively affected by the recently acquired international businesses in
France, Italy and Australia. The timing and amount of future price
increases in the Health Care segment may be negatively influenced by
competitive pressures and the possibility of government regulation. Sales
of other pharmaceutical products in the Health Care segment continue to be
adversely impacted by generic erosion.
Lower foreign exchange rates in comparison with the prior year had the
effect of decreasing sales in the fiscal 1995 period by $900,000. The
effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on results of operations in the
fiscal 1995 period compared to the prior year period was not significant.
Other revenues increased $594,000 or 16.1% in the fiscal 1995 period as
compared to the fiscal 1994 period.
Cost of goods sold as a percentage of net sales increased from 34.3% in the
fiscal 1994 period to 35.4% in the 1995 period primarily due to changes in
product mix.

Advertising, marketing and other selling expenses decreased by $5,080,000
due to lower spending in the Health Care segment. This decrease was
primarily related to lower spending for Organidin (iodinated glycerol) and
Felbatol. Advertising, marketing and other selling expenses increased in
support of products in the Consumer Products segment.
Research and development expenses decreased by $6,818,000 or 17.4%. The
Company announced that in October, 1994 it virtually eliminated its Wallace
Laboratories Division internal research and development capability. See
"Restructuring of Operations and Facilities" in Management's Discussion and
Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
General, administrative and other expenses increased $7,530,000 or 12.6% in
the fiscal 1995 period as compared to the fiscal 1994 period. This
increase was primarily due to provisions for a foreign patent claim and a
trade receivable reserve related to the bankruptcies of two pharmaceutical
wholesalers, as well as increased employee benefits and other
administrative costs.
Interest expense increased $250,000 (16.3%) in the fiscal 1995 period as
compared to the fiscal 1994 period due to increased borrowings to finance
international acquisitions.
In the fiscal 1995 period, the Company had a 39% annual effective net tax
benefit on its reported consolidated loss. The tax benefit of 39% is
higher than the prior year's tax provision on operations of 31% because

reduced Puerto Rican operations and the absence of research and development
tax credits.
During the nine months ended December 31, 1993, the Company adjusted its
net deferred tax asset to reflect a change in federal corporate income tax
rates. As a result, the provision for income taxes in the fiscal 1994
period includes a one-time credit of $815,000 or $.02 per share as required
by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109 "Accounting for
Income Taxes". The effect of the tax law change on the provision for
income taxes in the fiscal 1994 period was not significant.

CARTER-WALLACE, INC.
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
(Continued)
Restructuring of Operations and Facilities
Prompted by the discontinuance of its line of iodinated glycerol
formulation of Organidin products and by the significant adverse effect on
existing and potential sales of Felbatol (felbamate) due to use
restrictions required by the Federal Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")
the Company is engaged in a restructuring program which is intended to
reduce costs and increase efficiencies.
As part of the restructuring program, the Company has substantially reduced
its pharmaceutical sales force and marketing support staff and virtually
eliminated its Wallace Laboratories Division internal research and
development capability. However, the Company will continue its research
and development of Astelin (azelastine) for rhinitis and asthma, and
taurolidine, an antitoxin for the treatment of sepsis, and to the extent
such work exceeds the Company's remaining internal research and development
resources, such work will be done through independent research facilities.
The consolidation of its manufacturing operations in the U.S. and Puerto
Rico, when completed, will result in the closure of certain of the
Company's plants and significantly reduced production at one plant.
In connection with the restructuring described above, the Company incurred
a one-time pre-tax charge in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 of
$49,000,000 consisting primarily of plant closing costs including equipment
write-offs ($24,500,000) and employee termination costs ($20,600,000).
As part of its restructuring program, the Company further reduced its
workforce subsequent to December 31, 1994 and is in the process of
relocating one of its divisions to its Cranbury, New Jersey facility. In
this regard, the Company incurred a one-time pre-tax restructuring charge
of $20,500,000 in the quarter ended December 31, 1994, consisting primarily
of estimated costs associated with the planned subleasing of office space
on which the Company holds a long-term lease ($19,400,000). An additional
one-time pre-tax charge of approximately $6,500,000 relating to employee
termination costs will be incurred in the fourth quarter ending March 31,
1995 and a $1,800,000 charge related to the office relocation is expected
to be incurred in the fiscal year ending March 31, 1996. Recently
announced accounting pronouncements do not permit these severance and
relocation costs to be recorded in the December, 1994 period.
The total reduction in the number of employees is approximately 790
including 85 vacancies that will not be filled and represents 41% of the
Company's pharmaceutical sales force and 27% of its total domestic
workforce. In connection with the restructuring, the Company has virtually
eliminated its Wallace Laboratories Division internal research and
development capability.
The Company is continuing to review its operations and may take other steps
to reduce costs and increase efficiencies in the future which may result in
additional one-time charges.

Felbatol (felbamate)
On August 1, 1994, the Company disclosed that it had sent a letter to
approximately 240,000 physicians recommending, in conjunction with the FDA,
the immediate withdrawal of patients from treatment with Felbatol
(felbamate), unless, in the physician's judgment, an abrupt withdrawal
would be deemed to pose a more serious risk to the patient.
Carter-Wallace's recommendation was prompted by reports of ten cases of
aplastic anemia in association with the use of Felbatol. No such cases
were observed during the premarketing, clinical testing and development of
Felbatol.
On September 21, 1994, after discussions with the FDA, the Company mailed a
letter alerting physicians to the risk of acute liver failure in
association with the use of Felbatol and the need to monitor liver function
in all patients who are still taking the drug.
On September 27, 1994, the FDA's Peripheral and Central Nervous System
Drugs Advisory Committee met to discuss the continued availability of
Felbatol. The Committee recommended that the drug remain available only
for patients with severe epilepsy for whom the benefits outweigh the risks,
and that changes be made to the product's labeling to reflect the risk of
acute liver failure.
Carter-Wallace introduced Felbatol in September, 1993 for the treatment of
partial seizures with and without secondary generalization in adults and
for Lennox-Gastaut Syndrome, a serious form of childhood epilepsy.
Due to substantial introductory spending levels and continued research and
development, the Company incurred losses with respect to Felbatol since
introduction and for the three months and nine months ended December 31,
1994.
As a result of the Felbatol matters discussed above, the Company incurred
in the quarter ended September 30, 1994 a one-time pre-tax charge of
$36,640,000 primarily related to inventory write-offs ($15,500,000),
purchase and other commitments ($9,400,000) and anticipated product returns
including trade announcements ($4,900,000). At the present time Felbatol
continues to be available on the market. If, as a result of the matters
discussed above, the product at some future date is no longer available in
the market, the Company will incur an additional one-time charge that would
have a material adverse effect on the Company's results of operations and
possibly on its financial condition. Should the product no longer be
available, the Company currently estimates that the additional one-time
charge consisting primarily of inventory write-offs and anticipated returns
of product currently in the market, will be in the range of $30,000,000 to
$35,000,000 on a pre-tax basis. See the discussion above of the Company's
income tax rate.

Felbatol (felbamate) (Continued)
As previously reported, the Company entered into a licensing agreement with
Schering-Plough Corporation, granting Schering-Plough exclusive marketing
rights in all markets except the United States and its territories and
possessions, Canada and Mexico, to Felbatol. Separately, Schering-Plough
and Carter-Wallace agreed that, under certain circumstances, they will put
into effect a co-promotional arrangement with respect to a Schering-Plough
pharmaceutical product to be determined in the future. The matters
discussed above will likely result in a significant adverse effect on the
amount of royalties and fees, if any, to be received from Schering-Plough
in the future under these agreements.
Discontinuance of the Organidin (Iodinated Glycerol) Product Line
In June, 1994, the Company and the FDA reached an agreement to discontinue
the manufacture and shipment of the Organidin (iodinated glycerol) line of
products. The agreement between the Company and the FDA permits the
continued shipping, prescribing and dispensing of existing stocks of
Organidin (iodinated glycerol) product currently in channels of
distribution. As previously disclosed by the Company, in April, 1993 the
Company received a letter from the FDA requesting that it discontinue
marketing Organidin (iodinated glycerol) products. Subsequent meetings
between the Company and FDA resulted in this agreement.
As a result of the agreement noted above, the Company incurred in the
quarter ended June 30, 1994 a one-time charge to pre-tax earnings of
$17,500,000 primarily related to a provision for any product returns
($9,400,000) and for inventory write-offs ($3,600,000).
Sales and pre-tax operating profits of the Organidin (iodinated glycerol)
line included in the nine months ended December 31, 1994 were $20,800,000
and $11,400,000, respectively, compared to sales and pre-tax operating
profits included in the nine months ended December 31, 1993 of $53,300,000
and $22,100,000, respectively.
Sales and pre-tax operating profits of the Organidin (iodinated glycerol)
line of products were $59,900,000 and $22,200,000 for the fiscal year ended
March 31, 1992, $43,400,000 and $7,600,000 for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1993 and $74,400,000 and $31,600,000 for the fiscal year ended March
31, 1994. Organidin operating profits were computed on a basis consistent
with that used to report operating profits for the Health Care business
segment in the Company's Annual Report.

Astelin
In July, 1994 the Company received a "non-approval" letter from the FDA for
the Astelin tablet New Drug Application (NDA) for rhinitis. The scientific
issues raised in this letter as well as those raised in the "non-approval"
letters previously received with respect to Astelin nasal spray for
rhinitis and Astelin tablets for asthma were discussed with the FDA in
meetings in July and August. Responses to all outstanding issues raised by
the FDA are being prepared by the Company. The Company is currently
analyzing two additional asthma efficacy studies. As a result of the
meetings with the FDA, the Company is unable at this time to determine when
Astelin will be reviewed by the appropriate FDA advisory panel and when and
if the NDAs will be approved.
Accounting Changes
During the fiscal 1994 period the Company adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 106 "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement
Benefits Other Than Pensions" and elected to immediately recognize the
transition obligation of $69,554,000 before taxes or $43,819,000 after
taxes ($.96 per share). Effective July 1, 1993, the Company amended its
postretirement benefit plan which reduced the annual ongoing costs of these
benefits.
During the quarter ended March 31, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 112 "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits" effective April 1, 1993. Accordingly, results of
operations in the three months ended June 30, 1993 and the nine months
ended December 31, 1993 have been restated to reflect a one-time pre-tax
charge to earnings of $4,700,000 or $2,820,000 after taxes ($.06 per
share).
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Funds provided from operations are used for capital expenditures,
acquisitions, the purchase of treasury stock, the payment of dividends and
working capital requirements. The cash dividend payable on March 4, 1995
to shareholders of record on February 10, 1995 will be at the rate of $.04
per share. Quarterly dividends paid for each of the first three quarters
of the current fiscal year were at the rate of $.0833 per share. External
borrowings are incurred as needed to satisfy cash requirements relating to
seasonal business fluctuations, to finance major facility expansion
programs and to finance major acquisitions.

Liquidity and Capital Resources (Continued)
The Company is a party to a $75,000,000 revolving credit facility with a
group of banks. During November, 1994 the Company and the banks amended
the credit agreement to exclude from the material adverse change provisions
the one-time charges for Organidin and the restructuring program, as well
as the current and any further one-time charges for Felbatol should the
product no longer be available. Consequently, the Company is now able to
access its revolving credit line.
The total cash requirements for the one-time charges recorded through the
nine months ended December 31, 1994 are estimated to be $82,500,000, of
which approximately $39,000,000 is expected to be incurred in the fiscal
year ending March 31, 1995 and $25,500,000 in the fiscal year ended March
31, 1996. The anticipated cash benefit from income taxes related to these
one-time charges is estimated to be $48,600,000 which will be received over
a period of years. The net cash outlay for the one-time charges after
consideration of the tax benefits is approximately $33,900,000.
