In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed
financial statements contain all adjustments (consisting of only normal
recurring accruals) necessary to present fairly the financial position as of
March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995, the results of operations for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995 and statements of cash flows for the three
months ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.


Results for an interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the
entire year and such results are subject to year-end adjustments and independent
audit.  


Classification of inventories at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995 were as
follows:

                           1996              1995

Earnings per common share is computed under the "modified treasury stock method"
which assumes the exercise of all outstanding options and warrants and the use
of the proceeds thereof to acquire up to 20% of the outstanding common stock of
the Company.  Excess proceeds not utilized for the purchase of such shares are
assumed utilized, first to reduce outstanding debt and then any remainder is
assumed invested in interest bearing securities with net earnings increased for
the hypothetical interest expense savings or interest income, net of taxes.

Item 2.   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
          CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

(1)  LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     Under its institutional debt covenants, the Company is permitted a level of
     short-term borrowings not to exceed $15,000,000.  Presently, the Company
     has arrangements with banks which provide up to $27,500,000 of short-term
     lines of credit at the prime rate of interest.  There were no short-term
     borrowings at March 31, 1996 and December 31, 1995.

     The Company has, from time to time, acquired shares of its common stock
     pursuant to a plan approved by the Board of Directors in 1987.  During the
     first three months of 1996, the Company purchased 12,505 shares at an
     average cost of $29.01 per share, and such shares were placed in treasury. 
     The shares purchased during the first three months of 1996 were from open
     market purchases and from employees who held shares issued pursuant to the
     Company's stock option plan.

     The Company believes that currently available funds, anticipated funds from
     operations and existing credit facilities will be adequate for its
     foreseeable needs.

     At March 31, 1996, accounts receivable were $31,423,000, an increase of
     $6,797,000 from the December 31, 1995 level.  At March 31,1995,  accounts
     receivable were $23,440,000, an increase of $4,747,000 from the December
     31, 1994 level.  The increase is primarily attributable to the increased
     level of sales during the first quarter of 1996.

     Inventories at March 31, 1996 were $39,255,000, an increase of $2,178,000
     from the December 31, 1995 level.  The inventory increase is primarily in
     the cosmetics division.    The strong demand for cosmetics products has
     necessitated maintaining high levels of inventory in support of product
     scheduling and shipping requirements.

     Accounts payable and accrued liabilities at March 31, 1996 increased by
     $5,499,000 from the December 31, 1995 level.   For the comparable 1995
     period, accounts payable and accrued liabilities increased by $4,677,000.

(2)  RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     SALES

     Sales for the first quarter of 1996 were $56.1 million, 10.6% above the
     $50.7 million of sales for the first  quarter of 1995.

     The first quarter 1996 results reflect a  sales increase in both the
     cosmetics and pharmaceutical  divisions.  
     
     COST OF SALES

     Cost of sales for the first quarter of 1996, as a percentage of net sales,
     was 40.7%, compared with 38.5 % in the corresponding period of 1995.


     The increase in first quarter 1996 cost of sales over the comparable period
     in 1995 is primarily attributable to  the mix of business within the
     cosmetics and pharmaceutical divisions.


                                      5

SELLING AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES

Selling and administrative expenses increased on a dollar basis in the first
quarter of 1996 versus the first quarter of 1995, but decreased as a percentage
of net sales to 50.6% from 53.6%.   A combination of increased net sales and a
leveling of advertising and promotional expenditures are the primary reasons for
the decreased percentage in the first quarter of 1996.


NET INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense for the first quarter of 1996 was $870,000 compared with
$876,000 incurred in the first quarter of 1995. 


PROVISION FOR INCOME TAXES

The provision for income taxes is 41% of earnings before income taxes in both
the first quarter of 1996 and 1995.

NET EARNINGS

Net earnings for the first quarter of 1996 were $2,388,000, 30.1% above the
$1,836,000 reported for the first quarter of 1995.


LEGAL MATTERS

The Company has been notified that it has been identified as a potentially
responsible party with respect to environmental remediation activities required
at a site in Pennsylvania.  The total cost to the Company of remediation
activities that it may be required to undertake cannot yet be quantified,
although the Company is one of over 900 potentially responsible parties that
have been identified at the site.  Although no dollar amount can be assigned to
remediation costs because of inherent uncertainties, on the basis of currently
available information, management has determined that such costs will not have a
material adverse effect on the Company's financial position.  It is the
Company's policy to meet all regulatory requirements for the protection of the
environment and to take prompt remedial action where necessary.

In July 1994, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission ("EEOC") filed suit
against the Company in the United States District Court for the Eastern District
of New York alleging sexual discrimination against certain present and former
employees of the Company in violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of
1964, as amended.  On August 3, 1995, the Court approved a consent decree
between the Company and the EEOC settling the case.  The Company denied that it
engaged in any unlawful conduct, and the consent decree expressly acknowledges
that the settlement does not constitute an admission by the Company of any
violation of any law, rule or regulation relating to employment discrimination. 
The Board of Directors determined that the settlement was in the best interest
of the Company and its shareholders, considering the expense that would have
resulted from continued litigation and the time and attention of management and
employees that would necessarily have been required.

Pursuant to the settlement, the Company agreed to pay 15 former employees a
total sum of $1,185,000.  The settlement also incorporated the Company's revised
sexual harassment policy which includes a revised complaint procedure.

On August 9, 1995, two stockholder derivative actions were filed in the Court 
of Chancery of the State of Delaware  against members of the Company's Board 
of Directors and a former director, as well as the Company as a nominal 
defendant. The actions, which have been consolidated, allege breach of 
fiduciary duty and waste of corporate assets by the directors in connection 
with matters alleged in the lawsuit brought by the EEOC (as described above) 
and the investigation and settlement of that lawsuit.   The consolidated 
stockholder derivative action seeks to compel the directors to account to the 
Company for amounts paid in connection with the defense and settlement of the 
lawsuit brought by the EEOC and seeks certain other relief.   The Company 
believes that this derivative action is without merit. Counsel for the 
directors has filed a motion to dismiss the action, which is currently 
pending before the court.

The Company is of the opinion, on the basis of currently available information,
that none of the matters referred to above will have a material effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial condition.
