              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.   RESTRUCTURING CHARGE
          --------------------
          The 1995 third quarter results of operations include a pre-tax
          restructuring charge of $180.2 million ($117.2 million after-tax)
          to record the costs of implementing the integration plan for the
          American Cyanamid Company (ACY) acquisition related to American
          Home Products Corporation (AHP) operations.  The integration plan
          will eliminate excess production capacity and facilities, reduce
          overhead and realign the Company's resources to achieve its
          strategic objectives.  The restructuring charge, which is related
          to AHP personnel and facilities, includes provisions for severance
          and related outplacement benefits of $93.4 million to reduce the
          Company's workforce; reductions in the carrying values of certain
          assets related to manufacturing operations to be eliminated as part
          of the integration plan of $43.9 million; and production and
          administrative facility closure costs of $42.9 million.  The
          restructuring charge excludes costs associated with ACY personnel
          and facilities as these costs were included in the overall
          evaluation of net assets acquired from ACY.  The total workforce
          reduction, primarily in the pharmaceutical, consumer health care
          and medical supplies and diagnostic businesses, will be
          approximately 7,100 positions worldwide.  The facilities affected
          include certain U.S. locations and multiple locations overseas.

Note 2.   OTHER (INCOME) EXPENSE, NET

          Other (income) expense, net for the nine months ended September 30,
          1995 includes a pre-tax gain of $959.8 million on the sale of the
          South American oral health care business in January 1995.

       Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition
                        and Results of Operations
          Three Months and Nine Months Ended September 30, 1995


Results of Operations
- ---------------------
Effective December 1, 1994, the Company consolidated the results
of operations of ACY.  As a result, significant variations exist
when the results for the 1995 third quarter and first nine months
are compared to those for the same periods of 1994 since the
Company's 1995 operating results reflect ACY's operating results
and related acquisition interest expense and goodwill
amortization.  Accordingly, management's discussion and analysis
of results of operations for the 1995 third quarter and first
nine months has been presented, for the most part, on a pro forma
basis assuming the acquisition of ACY and other businesses had
taken place on January 1, 1994, and excluding the sales of
businesses disposed of in 1994 and 1995.  The 1994 pro forma
results of operations include the impact of adjustments for
interest expense on ACY acquisition debt, amortization of
goodwill and merger-related financing costs, and related income
tax benefits.  The 1994 pro forma results are not necessarily
indicative of what actually would have occurred if the ACY
acquisition had taken place on January 1, 1994, and do not
reflect any cost savings from merger-related synergies.  The 1994
pro forma amounts are consistent with those presented in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December
31, 1994 and Current Report on Form 8-K dated December 6, 1994.

On a pro forma basis, consolidated net sales increased 5% for the
1995 third quarter and increased 3% for the first nine months. 
The results reflect higher sales of international health care and
worldwide agricultural products, partially offset by lower sales
of domestic health care and food products.  The increase in third
quarter sales was comprised of unit volume increases of 4% and
favorable foreign exchange of 1%.  The increase in first nine
months sales was comprised of price increases of 1% and favorable
foreign exchange of 2%.  Pro forma health care product segment
sales increased 3% for the 1995 third quarter and increased 2%
for the first nine months.  Agricultural product sales increased
39% for the 1995 third quarter and 22% for the first nine months. 
Food product sales decreased 21% for the 1995 third quarter and
16% for the first nine months.

ACY's 1995 third quarter and first nine months results of
operations, which include acquisition related cost savings, were
more than offset by the dilutive effect of the interest expense
and goodwill amortization related to the acquisition.  Interest
expense and goodwill amortization costs are expected to have a
dilutive effect on earnings to be reported for the 1995 fourth
                                   -8-

The following sales variation explanations are presented on a pro
forma basis:

     Worldwide pharmaceutical sales increased 6% for the 1995
     third quarter and 2% for the first nine months.  U.S.
     pharmaceutical sales increased 1% for the 1995 third quarter
     and decreased 6% for the first nine months.  The increase in
     third quarter U.S. sales was comprised of unit volume
     increases of 2% offset by price decreases of 1%.  The
     decrease in first nine months U.S. sales includes the impact
     of a change in timing of trade incentive programs on Wyeth-
     Ayerst products in the 1995 second quarter, which affected
     all major Wyeth-Ayerst product categories, and declines in
     Lederle antibiotics and vaccines as anticipated.  The
     decrease in first nine months U.S. sales was comprised of
     unit volume decreases of 5% and price decreases of 1%.

     International pharmaceutical sales increased 13% for the
     1995 third quarter and 14% for the first nine months due
     primarily to higher sales of oral contraceptives, infant
     nutritionals, TAZOCIN and PREMARIN, and favorable foreign
     exchange.  The increase in third quarter international sales
     was comprised of unit volume increases of 9%, price
     increases of 2% and favorable foreign exchange of 2%.  The
     increase in first nine months international sales was
     comprised of unit volume increases of 7%, price increases of
     2% and favorable foreign exchange of 5%.

     Worldwide consumer health care sales increased 1% for the
     1995 third quarter and were even for the first nine months. 
     U.S. consumer health care sales decreased 2% for the 1995
     third quarter and 6% for the first nine months.  The
     decrease in third quarter U.S. sales was due principally to
     lower sales of cough/cold products.  The decline in first
     nine months U.S. sales was due to lower sales of analgesics
     attributable primarily to the timing of certain promotional
     programs.  The decrease in third quarter U.S. sales was
     comprised of unit volume decreases of 3% offset by price
     increases of 1%.  The decrease in first nine months U.S.
     sales was comprised of volume decreases of 7% offset by
     price increases of 1%.  

     International consumer health care sales increased 8% for
     the 1995 third quarter and 18% for the first nine months due
     principally to higher sales of analgesics, cough/cold
     products, and vitamins, and favorable foreign exchange.  The
     increase in third quarter international sales was comprised

     of unit volume increases of 3%, price increases of 4% and
     favorable foreign exchange of 1%.  The increase in first
     nine months international sales was comprised of unit volume
     increases of 8%, price increases of 8% and favorable foreign
     exchange of 2%.

     Worldwide medical supplies and diagnostic product sales
     increased 3% for the 1995 third quarter and 5% for the first
     nine months due principally to higher international sales of
     the Sherwood product line, and favorable foreign exchange. 
     The increase in third quarter sales was attributable
     primarily to favorable foreign exchange.  The increase in
     first nine months sales was comprised of unit volume
     increases of 2% and favorable foreign exchange of 3%.

     Worldwide agricultural product sales increased 39% for the
     1995 third quarter and 22% for the first nine months.  U.S.
     sales increased in the 1995 third quarter and first nine
     months as unusually wet spring conditions resulted in the
     following:  a shift in sales from pre-emergent herbicides to
     post-emergent herbicides; a shift in acreage from corn to
     soybeans; and an extended planting season into mid July. 
     These factors resulted in higher third quarter sales of 
     PURSUIT herbicide and other crop protection products
     partially offset by lower sales of COUNTER insecticide. 
     U.S. sales increased 8% for the first nine months as higher
     sales of PURSUIT and PROWL herbicides and other crop
     protection products were partially offset by lower sales of
     SQUADRON and SCEPTER herbicides and COUNTER insecticide. 
     The increase in third quarter U.S. sales was attributable to
     unit volume increases.  The increase in first nine months
     U.S. sales was comprised of unit volume increases of 7% and
     price increases of 1%.  Due to the seasonality of the U.S.
     agricultural business, a majority of U.S. agricultural
     product sales and results of operations are realized in the
     first half of the year.

     International agricultural product sales increased 23% for
     the 1995 third quarter and 40% for the first nine months due
     primarily to higher sales of PURSUIT and PROWL (marketed as
     STOMP internationally) herbicides, DELAN fungicide and other
     international crop protection products.  The increase in
     third quarter international sales was comprised of unit
     volume increases of 22% and favorable foreign exchange of
     1%.  The increase in first nine months international sales
     was comprised of unit volume increases of 31%, price
     increases of 1% and favorable foreign exchange of 8%.  Unit

     volume increases were due primarily to favorable weather
     conditions in Europe throughout the growing season.

     Sales of food products decreased 21% for the 1995 third
     quarter and 16% for the first nine months due principally to
     decreased sales of CHEF BOYARDEE canned pasta, PAM, POLANER
     and CRUNCH & MUNCH. The sales decrease was due primarily to
     competitive new products and marketing activity, and the
     timing and extent of trade incentives.  The decrease in
     third quarter sales was attributable to unit volume
     decreases.  The decrease in the first nine months sales was
     comprised of unit volume decreases of 17% offset by price
     increases of 1%.

The tables below present comparative net sales for the third
quarter and first nine months of 1995 by geographic segments.  On
a pro forma basis, the sales increases in foreign geographic
segments, in particular, Europe and Africa, are due primarily to
higher international sales of healthcare and agricultural
products, as well as favorable foreign exchange.

0.3% in the first nine months.  The decrease in the 1995 third
quarter was due primarily to changes in the pharmaceutical and
agricultural product mix.  The increase in the 1995 first nine
months was due, in part, to changes in product mix and
unfavorable manufacturing variances.

On a pro forma basis, selling, administrative and general
expenses, as a percentage of net sales, decreased 2.2% in the
1995 third quarter and 0.4% in the first nine months.  Lower
selling  and administrative expenses were due primarily to merger
related synergies and were partially offset by increased general
expenses in both the 1995 third quarter and first nine months. 
Higher general expenses in the 1995 first nine months were due,
in part, to the reversal of certain litigation reserves that no
longer were required in the 1994 first quarter which lowered 1994
first nine months general expenses.

On a pro forma basis, research and development expenses in the
1995 third quarter and first nine months were comparable with
1994 amounts.

On a pro forma basis, interest expense decreased in the 1995
third quarter and first nine months due primarily to long-term
debt reduction and lower interest rates on ACY acquisition debt.

On an as reported basis, income before taxes, net income and net
income per share decreased in the 1995 third quarter compared to
1994 due primarily to the 1995 third quarter restructuring charge
which reduced income before taxes by $180.2 million and net
income and net income per share by $117.2 million and $.38 per
share.  Excluding the 1995 third quarter restructuring charge,
income before taxes was $544.1 million and net income and net
income per share were $393.7 million and $1.27 per share for the
1995 third quarter versus income before taxes of $573.6 million
and net income and net income per share of $413.0 million and
$1.35 in 1994.

On a pro forma basis, net income and net income per share for the
1994 third quarter were $270.1 million and $.88 per share. 
Excluding the 1995 third quarter restructuring charge, the higher
results for the 1995 third quarter were due primarily to lower
interest expense, increased net sales, and cost savings from
merger-related synergies with ACY and the Company's previously
announced Organizational Effectiveness and Supply Chain programs.

On an as reported basis, income before taxes, net income and net
income per share for the 1995 first nine months increased due

million and gains on sales of assets of $75.8 million) and net
income and net income per share of $1,128.8 million and $3.67 per
share in 1994.  The 1994 second quarter restructuring charge,
gains on asset sales and reduction of certain tax accruals, in
the aggregate, had no effect on net income or net income per
share in 1994.  

On a pro forma basis, net income and net income per share for the
1994 first nine months were $957.4 million or $3.11 per share. 
Excluding the 1995 first quarter gain on the sale of the oral
health care business and the 1995 third quarter restructuring
charge, the higher results for the 1995 first nine months were
due principally to lower interest expense, increased net sales,
and cost savings from merger-related synergies with ACY and the
Company's previously announced Organizational Effectiveness and
Supply Chain programs.

Health Care Reform and Competition
- ----------------------------------
U.S. health care costs and coverage continue to be a subject of
debate by the Congress in 1995.  Similarly, in international
markets, health care spending is subject to increasing
governmental scrutiny, some of which is focused on pharmaceutical
prices.  While the Company cannot predict the impact proposed
health care legislation will have on the Company's worldwide
results of operations, the Company believes that the
pharmaceutical industry will continue to play a very positive
role in helping to contain global health care costs through the
development of innovative products.  However, it is expected that
global market forces will continue to constrain price growth
throughout 1995 and beyond.

The Company is not dependent on any one patent-protected product
or line of products for a substantial portion of its revenues or
profits.  However, PREMARIN, the Company's conjugated estrogens
product, which has not had patent protection for many years, does
contribute significantly to sales and, more significantly, to
profits.  An FDA Advisory Committee was held in July 1995 to
discuss relative differences in safety and efficacy among
estrogen products and to advise the FDA on the activity of
various estrogenic components in PREMARIN relative to the FDA's
review of applications for generic conjugated estrogens.  The FDA
Advisory Committee concluded that there is insufficient data to
assess whether or not any individual component or combination of
components of PREMARIN, other than estrone and equilin, must be
present to achieve clinical efficacy and safety.  The Company
cannot predict the timing or outcome of the FDA's action on
currently pending applications for generic conjugated estrogen
products.  For further discussion on PREMARIN, see Item 1,
Competition of the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Liquidity, Financial Condition and Capital Resources
- ----------------------------------------------------
Cash and cash equivalents increased $171 million in the first
nine months of 1995 to $1.9 billion.  Cash flows from operating
activities of $901 million, proceeds from sales of businesses and
other assets of $1.7 billion and proceeds from the exercise of
stock options of $317 million were used principally for long-term
debt reduction of $1.5 billion, dividend payments of $694 million
and capital expenditures of $478 million.  

In February 1995, the Company issued, under a $3.5 billion shelf
registration statement, $1.0 billion of 7.70% notes due February

2000 and $1.0 billion of 7.90% notes due February 2005.  Net
proceeds from these issuances were used to repay commercial
paper.  The notes are unsecured and unsubordinated and may not be
redeemed prior to maturity.  

On November 1, 1995, the Company proposed to Immunex Corporation,
a majority owned subsidiary of the Company, a transaction
pursuant to which the Company would acquire all of the
outstanding shares of Immunex not already owned by the Company
for $14.50 per share in cash, aggregating in excess of $266
million including fees and expenses, subject to the satisfaction
of the requirements of a "Permitted Acquisition Transaction" set
forth in the existing governance agreement between the Company
and Immunex.  On November 13, 1995, a special committee of
Immunex's Board of Directors rejected the Company's transaction
proposal.

Management is confident that the cash flows from the combined
businesses will be adequate to repay both the principal and
interest on the ACY acquisition financing.

                       Part II - Other Information
                       ---------------------------


Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
          -----------------
          The Company and its subsidiaries are parties to
          numerous lawsuits and claims arising out of the conduct
          of its business, the most significant of which are
          described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K
          for the year ended December 31, 1994 (the "Form 10-K"). 
          
          Additional lawsuits have been filed alleging injuries
          as a result of use of the NORPLANT SYSTEM, the
          Company's implantable contraceptive containing
          levonorgestrel, and there are currently pending more
          than 500 lawsuits in federal and state courts in 34
          states and the District of Columbia.  Sixty-two of
          these cases have been filed as class actions and the
          remainder are proceeding as individual suits.

          Additional suits have been brought against the Company
          in the Rite Aid line of lawsuits, which is described in
          the Form 10-K.  The additional federal actions, which
          have been or are expected to be consolidated for
          pretrial purposes (Brand Name Prescription Drug
                            -----------------------------
          Antitrust Litigation (MDL 997 M.D. Pa.)), seek similar
          --------------------
          relief including treble damages in unspecified amounts
          and injunctive and other relief.  Additionally, similar
          litigation is pending in various state courts,
          including class actions or purported class actions in
          Alabama, Arizona, Wisconsin, Colorado, New York,
          Washington, Minnesota and California where seven such
          actions have been consolidated.

          On March 7, 1994, an action was brought against the
          Company by Johnson & Johnson ("J&J") and Ortho
          Pharmaceutical Corporation ("Ortho") currently seeking
          $217 million in damages alleged to have arisen from a
          preliminary injunction which was granted in a patent
          infringement lawsuit brought by the Company and which
          had prevented J&J and Ortho from marketing an oral
          contraceptive containing norgestimate for approximately
          10 months until it was overturned by the Court of
          Appeals for the Federal Circuit in a two-to-one
          decision.  Thereafter, in the underlying action in the
          district court, the jury found against the Company on
          its claim of infringement.  This verdict was recently
          affirmed by the Court of Appeals for the Federal
          Circuit.  

          The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Sixth Circuit
          affirmed $2.8 million of the penalty imposed in U.S. v.

          Ekco Housewares, Inc. and reversed and remanded for
          further proceedings the remainder of the $4.6 million
          penalty.  A petition for rehearing has been filed.

          In the opinion of the Company, although the outcome of
          any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, the
          ultimate liability of the Company in connection with
          pending litigation will not have a material adverse
          effect on the Company's financial position but could be
          material to the results of operations in any one
          accounting period.
