3 - ACQUISITION
   ------------

    On July 23, 1997, the Company purchased certain assets of the commercial
cleaning chemicals business of IVAX Industries, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary
of IVAX Corporation, for $17,000,000 in cash, assumption of certain liabilities,
and acquisition related costs of $549,000 for a total asset purchase price of
approximately $20,369,000.  The purchase price is subject to adjustment upon
completion of a closing date audited balance sheet of the assets purchased and
liabilities assumed.  The acquired operation, which will operate as the Cleaning
Technologies Group, manufactures and distributes 177 chemical products for
commercial and janitorial cleaning, including floor and carpet care, germicidal
cleaners, air deodorizers, industrial degreasers and hand soaps.

    The acquisition has been accounted for as a purchase transaction, and the
purchase price has been preliminarily allocated as follows:

            Accounts Receivable                 $  3,116,000
            Inventory                              4,258,000

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


                        LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
                        --------------------------------

    The Company's acquisition of the Cleaning and Technologies Group (CTG)
utilized $11 million of the Company's cash on hand, and required borrowing of $6
million on its domestic line of credit facility.  Although the Company's maximum
borrowing capacity under this facility is $10 million, discussions with the
Company's main US bank are currently underway to restructure a portion of the
acquisition borrowing into a term loan, and also increase the maximum available
borrowing under the existing facility.  The Company did negotiate an amendment
to the loan agreement with regards to its borrowing rate, which lowered the
Company's rate to the lower of prime or the 30 day LIBOR rate plus .75%.
(Interest at 7.17% at September 30, 1997).  At September 30, 1997, there was
$3,847,302 outstanding under this line of credit.  Currently, the line of credit
facility matures in October, 1999, and requires meeting certain financial
covenants, with which the Company was in compliance at September 30, 1997.

    Despite the significant use of funds to finance the CTG acquisition, the
Company has been able to reduce its borrowings on its line of credit due to
continued strong operating cash flows.  In addition, the Company has maintained
over $4.5 million in short-term investments which it can use to reduce
borrowings further, or for other working capital needs.

    The Company also maintains a line of credit facility with a major Belgian
bank, which was not accessed at September 30, 1997.  The amount available is
34.3 million Belgian francs (approximately $953,000 based on the June conversion
rate for the Belgian franc).

    The working capital ratios at September 30, 1997, March 31, 1997, and
September 30, 1996 were, 3.57 to 1, 4.95 to 1, and 4.6 to 1, respectively.  The
decrease in the working capital at September 30, 1997, as compared to March 31,
1997, and September 30, 1996, is the result of the acquisition of the Cleaning
Technologies Group.

    Management believes that the remaining invested funds, coupled with existing
available lines of credit, and cash flows from operations should be adequate to
meet normal working capital needs, based on operations as of September 30, 1997.
It is expected that additional financing may be necessary to allow the Company
to pursue future acquisitions.

ASSET TURNOVER RATIOS
- ---------------------
                         SEPTEMBER 30, 1997  MARCH 31, 1997  SEPTEMBER 30, 1996

                          -----------------   -------------   ------------------
    (1) Receivables-days
           outstanding       59.7 days          54.3 days         52.2 days

    (2) Annual inventory
           turns             3.0 times          2.9 times         3.0 times

     At September 30, 1997, the increase in days outstanding is due to a
lengthening in some Imaging customer receivable terms over the previous quarter.
Imaging customers typically average 90 days outstanding, versus Cleaning and
Personal Care Products segment customers which, due to Stanley's predominantly
cash sales, generally have shorter payment terms.

     Inventory turns have remained fairly stable compared to the year ended
March 31, 1997 and quarter ended September 30, 1996.


                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             ---------------------

    The Company operates in two industry segments:  the Cleaning and Personal
Care Products segment which includes the manufacture and sale of specialty
chemical cleaning products and related accessories (brushes, brooms, mops) for
industrial and consumer use, as well as personal products such as soaps,
shampoos, and skin care items, and the Imaging segment which includes the
manufacture and sale of prepackaged chemical formulations, supplies, and
equipment systems to the imaging industry.  The products of each segment are
manufactured and marketed both in the U.S. and in other parts of the world.
Sales between segments are not material.

    Sales for the quarter ended September 30, 1997 increased 11.7% over the
quarter ended September 30, 1996, and increased 5.1% for the six months ended
September 30, 1997, over the six months ended September 30, 1996.  Sales for the
quarter in the Cleaning and Personal Care Products segment have increased 31.6%
compared with the quarter ended September 30, 1996, and increased 13.5% for the
six months ended September 30, 1997, over the six months ended September 30,
1996.  The increase for the quarter and six months is a result of the
acquisition of the Cleaning Technologies Group, net of decreases in the Stanley
Home Products and Fuller Brush direct selling businesses which were impacted by
the UPS strike.  For the Imaging segment, overall sales for the quarter ended
September 30, 1997, decreased 8.2% over the quarter ended September 30, 1996,
and decreased 3.8% for the six months ended September 30, 1997, over the six
months ended September 30, 1996.  The decrease for the quarter and six months in
the Imaging segment is primarily the result of decreased chemical sales in the
domestic Medical Imaging business, as well as a slowdown in sales in the U.S.
color photochemical market.

    Gross Margins have decreased to 43.8% for this quarter versus 47.0% for the
year ended March 31, 1997, and 47.9% for the same quarter last year.  Gross
Margins in the Cleaning and Personal Care Products segment have decreased to
46.4% from 53.7% for the year ended March 31, 1997, and 54.2% for the same
quarter last year, partly as a result of the inclusion of the Cleaning
Technologies Group's business, which historically has operated at a lower margin
than Fuller and Stanley's operations.  Also, lower Fuller and Stanley direct
sales as a result of the UPS strike, lowered the blended gross margin for the
segment.  Gross Margins in the Imaging segment have decreased to 40.1% from
41.0% for the year ended March 31, 1997, and 41.5% for the same quarter last
year.  The decrease is largely attributable to continued competitive pricing
pressures in the photochemical and medical imaging industries.  The Company does
not expect substantial margin improvement as it is anticipated that newer
contracts obtained will be at reduced margins in both the Cleaning and Personal
Care Products and Imaging segments.

    Selling, administrative, and engineering costs this quarter were 30.4%,
versus 32.8% for the year ended March 31, 1997, versus 31.7% for the same
quarter last year.  In the Cleaning and Personal Care Products segment, selling,
administrative, and engineering costs for this quarter decreased to 34.0% from
36.7% for the year ended March 31, 1997, and 36.3% for the same quarter last
year.  This decrease is partly attributable to the Cleaning Technologies Group
business, whose selling, administrative, and engineering costs as a percentage
of sales, are less than the Direct selling business of Fuller and Stanley.
In the Imaging segment, selling, administrative, and engineering costs for this
quarter decreased to 27.4% from 28.6% for the year ended March 31, 1997, but
increased from the 26.8% incurred in the same quarter last year.  The quarter to
quarter increase is directly attributable to the shortfall of sales, while the
decrease from year end is a result of cost savings measures put into place, due
to slow sales.

    Net interest expense increased significantly for the quarter ended September
30, 1997 versus the quarter ended September 30, 1996, due to the borrowings and
use of invested funds for the acquisition of the Cleaning Technologies Group in
July, 1997.  Net interest expense was slightly lower for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 versus September 30, 1996, due to invested funds and strong
cash flows for much of the period prior to the acquisition.

    The Provision for income taxes as a percentage of pretax income for the
quarter was 42.1% versus 41.4% for the quarter ended September 30, 1996, and for
the six months ended September 30, 1997 was 41.4% versus 41.1% for the six
months ended September 30, 1996.  The increases are partially attributable to
increased state income taxes as a result of the Cleaning Technologies Group
acquisition.

    Net income for the quarter ended September 30, 1997, decreased 12.8% over
the quarter ended September 30, 1996, due primarily to the shortfall in the
Imaging segment's sales as well as the impact of the UPS strike on the Cleaning
and Personal Care Products operations.  Net income for the six months ended
September 30, 1997 decreased 10.5 % over the six months ended September 30,
1996, again due to shortfall in both segment's sales (exclusive of the Cleaning
Technologies Group sales).



FOREIGN OPERATIONS
- ------------------

    Combined foreign operations showed improved operating results as both CPAC
Europe and CPAC Italia's net income for the quarter were substantially higher
than the same quarter last year.  While the economies of Italy and Belgium have
been suffering from economic slowdowns, sales volumes and market share of CPAC
subsidiaries in these countries have continued to improve.  Currency translation
rates for both Belgium and Italy have recently moved significant higher which
will offset a portion of the strong sales gains from these operations in the
third quarter.

    The Company has exposure to currency fluctuations and has utilized
conservative hedging programs (primarily forward foreign currency exchange
contracts), to help minimize the impact of these fluctuations on results of
operations.  The Company does not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes
and is not a party to leveraged derivatives transactions.  On a consolidated
basis, foreign currency exchange losses are not material to the results of
operations.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONTINGENCY
- -------------------------

    As previously disclosed, in connection with the Fuller Brush acquisition,
certain environmental contamination issues were discovered at the Great Bend,
Kansas facility during the due diligence process.  As a result of findings
generated by environmental assessments of the facility, the Seller and the
Department of Health and Environment of the State of Kansas entered into a
Consent Order pursuant to which the Seller developed and submitted for the
Department's approval, a comprehensive work plan for remediation of the
environmental problems at the site.  The Consent Order does not apply, by its
terms, to The Fuller Brush Company, Inc. as the new purchaser of the assets of
the Seller as long as the Seller is performing its obligations under the Consent
Order.  Estimates of the costs of the remediation as set forth in the work plan
submitted by the Seller range from $150,000 to $200,000.  The work plan has been
approved by the Department without significant changes, and the Seller continues
the remediation specified in the work plan.

Section 5.1 of Article V, General Covenants, is hereby amended by deleting the
                          -----------------

          of 365/366 days for the actual number of days elapsed, shall be
          billed quarterly in arrears on the last day of each calendar
          quarter, commencing on December 31, 1996, shall be fully earned
          when due, and shall be non-refundable when paid.  A final
