5.       Earnings Per Share

Basic EPS is calculated based on income available to common shareholders and the
weighted-average  number of  shares  outstanding  during  the  reported  period.
Diluted EPS includes  additional  dilution from potential  common stock issuable
pursuant to the exercise of stock options  outstanding.  Prior year amounts have
been restated to conform with  Statement of Financial  Accounting  Standards No.
128 "Earnings Per Share".


6.      Accounting  Change 

During the first quarter of 1998,  the Company  adopted AICPA  Statement of
Position  98-1  "Accounting  for the Costs of  Computer  Software  Developed  or
Obtained for Internal  Use".  The SOP requires  companies to capitalize  certain
costs of developing computer software.  The effect was an increase of net income
for the second  quarter and six month  periods of  approximately  $.8 million or
$.04 per basic share and $2.7 million or $.14 per basic share, respectively. Had
the SOP been  applicable  for 1997, the effect on net income for the quarter and
six month periods ended June 27, 1997 would have been  approximately $.7 million
or $.04 per basic share and $1.1 million or $.06 per basic share,  respectively.


7.  Acquisitions  

On January  26,  1998,  the  Company's  Brotherton  Speciality
Products  subsidiary  purchased  Kingston Chemical Ltd., a supplier of specialty
chemicals  for  approximately  $1.7  million.  

On January 29, 1998,  the Company closed on its previously announced acquisition
of TOSS N' SOFT Dryer Sheets from The Dial Corporation for approximately $5.3 
million.

8.           Subsequent Event

On July 15, 1998, the Company  purchased  from the Fluid  Packaging Co., Inc., a
manufacturing  facility  and  machinery  located  in  Lakewood,  New  Jersey for
approximately $9.0 million.  In addition,  the Company loaned to Fluid Packaging
$3.0 million at an interest  rate of 8% per annum.  The note is payable no later
than July 15, 1999,  and is secured by a pledge of and security  interest in 65%
of the capital stock of Allied Mexico,  S.A. de C.V., a wholly-owned  subsidiary
of Fluid Packaging.


9.       Comprehensive Income

During June 1997, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial  Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting  Comprehensive  Income". The
statement was effective for fiscal years  beginning  after December 15, 1997 and
establishes  standards for the reporting and displaying of comprehensive income.
The following  table presents the Company's  Comprehensive  Income for the three

10.      Contingencies

The Company,  in the ordinary  course of its  business,  is the subject of, or a

adverse effect on its consolidated financial statements.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

For the quarter ended June 26, 1998, net income was $7.9 million,  equivalent to
basic  earnings of $.41 per share from $7.3  million or $.37 per share,  in last
year's second quarter. Diluted earnings were $.39 per share compared to $.37 per
share last year.  For the first six months of 1998, net income was $13.8 million
or basic  earnings of $.71 per share compared to $12.5 million or $.64 per share
last year.  Diluted earnings were $.69 per share compared to $.63 per share last
year.

Net sales for the quarter were $173.5 million, a $31.7 million or 22.3% increase
versus last year.  The  increase is  primarily a result of the launch of two new
major consumer  products,  ARM & HAMMER SUPER SCOOP(TM) Clumping Litter, in late
1997 and ARM & HAMMER  DENTAL  CARE(TM) Gum, in early 1998. It also includes the
sales of BRILLO(R)  Soap Pads and certain  other  brands  acquired in late 1997.
With regard to established brands,  sales of deodorizer products were higher but
sales of personal  care  products  were  lower.  Specialty  Products  sales were
slightly higher with particular strength in the animal nutrition area.

Net Sales for the first six months of 1998 were $325.5 million, $54.1 million or
19.9% ahead of 1997. The  aforementioned  new products were also the main reason
for the six month increase.  Within the established products, higher laundry and
deodorizer  products  sales were  offset by lower  sales of  personal  products.
Specialty Products sales were slightly higher.

The  Company's  gross  margin was 43.0% and 42.6% for the  quarter and six month
period, respectively. This compares with 42.8% and 42.6% for the same periods of
last year.  This  change is due to lower  manufacturing  costs  offset by a less
favorable sales mix.

Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased  $14.5 million in the
current quarter and $21.6 million for the six month period. Selling expenses for
the quarter were higher  primarily due to support of new products,  namely ARM &
HAMMER DENTAL CARE Gum, ARM & HAMMER SUPER SCOOP Clumping Litter and BRILLO Soap
Pads,  partially  offset  by lower  costs for  personal  products.  General  and
administrative  expenses  for the  quarter  increased  primarily  as a result of
higher  information  systems and personnel related costs.  Selling,  general and
administrative expenses increased for the six months for the same reasons as the
current quarter.

During the quarter,  the Company  recognized a one-time gain as it sold research
and development technology for $3.5 million.

The Company's  joint venture,  Armand Products  Company,  saw sales and earnings
virtually  unchanged for the current quarter versus last year. For the six month
period,  both sales and  earnings  were 5% lower  versus the same period of last
year.

Interest  expense  increased versus last year as a result of an increase in both
short-term  and long-term  debt to finance the purchase of new product lines and
capital expenditures associated with software capitalization and the Green River
plant modernization  project.  Investment income decreased due to having a lower
amount of average cash  available  for  investment.  Other income and expense is
lower primarily as a result of a settlement from a class action suit against the
Carbon Dioxide supply industry in 1997.

The  effective  tax rate for the first half was  37.5%,  up from 36.8% from last
year. The increase in the rate is the result of utilizing foreign operating loss
carry-forwards in 1997.


Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The  Company  considers  cash  and  short-term   investments  as  the  principal
measurement of its liquidity. At June 26, 1998, cash, including cash equivalents
and short-term investments totaled $18.2 million as compared to $18.9 million at
December 31, 1997.

                                    8 of 12
<PAGE>

During the first half of 1998,  the Company  generated  $4.4 million of positive
cash flow from operating activities,  after changes in working capital including
increases  in  accounts  receivable  and  inventories,  increased  debt by $20.0
million,  received $2.7 million in distributions  from its affiliates,  received
$2.0  million for stock  options  exercised  and  received  $2.0 million for the
repayment of notes  receivable.  Significant  expenditures  include additions to
property,  plant and equipment of $13.2 million (including the earlier mentioned
software capitalization), the purchase of new product lines of $7.0 million, the
purchase of treasury  stock of $4.5 million and the payment of cash dividends of
$4.7 million.


Year 2000 Compliance
- --------------------

During  the  second  quarter,  the  Company  completed  and  implemented  a  new
enterprise  package  which is year 2000  compliant.  The  expenditures  incurred
during the first half of 1998 were approximately  $4.0 million.  The Company has
developed a program to modify the remainder of its systems.  The remaining costs
are not expected to have a material  adverse  impact on the Company's cash flows
or financial position.  The Company is planning on contacting vendors and others
on whom it relies to assure that their systems will be converted. However, there
can be no assurance that the systems of other companies will be timely converted
and  there is no way to  predict  what  impact,  if any,  this  will have on the
Company's operations.  Furthermore, no assurance can be given that any or all of
the Company's  systems are or will be Year 2000 compliant,  or that the ultimate
costs  required  to address  the Year 2000 issue or the impact of any failure to
achieve substantial Year 2000 compliance will not have a material adverse effect
on the Company's financial condition.
