ITEM 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results
         of Operations

Results of Operations

     On December 20, 1994 the Company elected to change its fiscal year from
October 31 to December 31. The management discussion that follows compares the
three months ended March 31, 1995 to the three months ended April 30, 1994, the
closest previous quarter reported upon.

     Three Months Ended March 31, 1995 Compared with Three Months Ended
     April 30, 1994

     The Company's net sales for the three months ended March 31, 1995 were
$6,083,000 compared to net sales of $4,509,000 for the three months ended April
30, 1994. The increase is primarily due to higher sales volume of the Company's
anti-stress face and bath pacs and higher export sales. The gross profit margin
was 55% for the three months ended March 31, 1995 as compared to 58% for the
three months ended April 30, 1994. The gross profit margin decrease is primarily
attributable to the increase in export sales to distributors which carry lower
selling prices.

     Selling costs for the three months ended March 31, 1995 increased $477,000
over the three months ended April 30, 1994 primarily due to higher marketing and
advertising costs and sales related expenses.

     Other income (net) includes for the three months ended March 31, 1995 a
$350,000 gain from the sale of property held by the Company's wholley-owned
subsidiary, CDSA. Other income (net) for the three months ended April 30, 1994
includes a gain of $131,000 related to the sale of substantially all of the
assets of the Company's facility in the Bahamas.

Capital Resources and Liquidity
     The Company has experienced operating cash flow deficiencies for a number
of years and has relied upon asset sales and financing from stockholders to fund
liquidity needs. At March 31, 1995, current assets exceeded current liabilities
by $134,000 and cash required by operations was $4,208,000 for the three months
ended March 31, 1995.

     The Company expects a continuing deficiency in cash generated from
operations in 1995. The Company anticipates that its current capital resources,
together with additional proceeds from the sale of non-operating assets, will be
sufficient to meet its short and long term liquidity and capital expenditure
requirements. To meet its operating needs and to fund various alternatives,
including but not limited to, acquiring certain product lines, businesses and or
starting up its own manufacturing facility, the Company may issue additional
equity or debt securities, or securities in one or more of its subsidiary
corporations; control growth of or reduce expenditures; or obtain financing from
stockholders, financial institutions or other sources. In addition, the Company
is continuing its efforts to increase revenues and improve margins and
operational efficiencies. No assurances can be given that the Company will be
successful in selling its non-operating assets or that financing will be
available on terms acceptable to the Company.

     The Company has incurred significant expense in connection with its attempt
to gain control of Avanza Corp. ("Avanza") and to finance the ongoing legal
challenges to Avanza's and certain of its officers and directors actions in
opposition thereto and may continue to incur additional expense in the future.

     A $1,000,000 note incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of Cooper
Development S.A. was due and paid on April 27, 1995.

                                    PART II


ITEM 5.  Other Information

a)  Settlement of Litigation

In June 1988, Berlex Laboratories, Inc. ("Berlex") filed a number of related
actions in the Superior Court of New Jersey, the United States District Court
for the District of New Jersey, the United States District Court for the
District of Delaware, the United States District Court for the District of
Massachusetts, and the United States District Court for the District of the
Virgin Islands.  Defendants in those actions are Cooper Holdings, Inc., Cooper
Development Company, The Cooper Companies, Inc., Cooper Life Sciences, Inc., The
First National Bank of Boston ("Trustee"), solely in its capacity as Trustee to
the Cooper Laboratories, Inc. Liquidating Trust ("Trust") and various other
individual and corporate defendants (collectively, "Defendants").

On April 17, 1995, the Company entered into an agreement with Berlex settling
all claims brought against the Company.  The original claim sought cost recovery
for environmental claims and indemnification, if the need arose, with regard to
a pharmaceutical product.  CDC paid Berlex a de minimis sum and Berlex agreed to
release CDC and dismiss all the pending court actions against the Company,
including environmental claims related to a Virgin Islands facility.


b)  Submission of Matters to Vote of Security Holders

On April 26, 1995, the Company held an Annual Meeting of Stockholders for the
purpose of electing four directors to the Board of Directors.  The four nominees
for election as directors were James E. Gilleran, Theodore H. Kruttschnitt,
Parker G. Montgomery and Jackson L. Schultz, all of whom were then current
members of the Board of Directors.  Each of the nominees was relected by at
least 3,361,764 votes, representing 93% of the 3,629,376 shares outstanding and
99% of the 3,405,531 shares cast.  Voting results for the individual nominees
