              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 MARCH 31, 1997


NOTE A -- BASIS OF PRESENTATION

     The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of
Regulation S-X.  Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments
(consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair
presentation have been included.  Operating results for the three and nine
month periods ended March 31, 1997 are not necessarily indicative of the
results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 1997.  The unaudited
condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with
the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the
Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996.

NOTE B -- INVENTORIES

     The components of inventories consist of the following:

     Inventories are stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or
market.

NOTE C -- RESTRUCTURING COSTS

     In March 1997, the Company announced the closing of its Cumberland Freight
Line (CFL) truck fleet operations effective immediately.  The operations of CFL
were not significant relative to the operations of the Company.  Anticipated
restructuring costs of $1,211 were recorded during the third quarter of fiscal
1997.

     For the nine months ended March 31, 1997, the condensed consolidated
statement of income includes $4,577 of restructuring costs expensed as incurred
related primarily to business process redesign and to the closing of CFL as
noted above.  In addition, $1,040 was paid for expenses accrued in a previous 
period, primarily related to the elimination of certain low volume products and
severance costs.  As of March 31, 1997, $1,767 remains in accrued liabilities.

NOTE D -- COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

     For the nine months ended March 31, 1997 the condensed consolidated
statement of income includes $4,799 of unusual litigation costs related to a
purported class action and other legal matters as described in the Company's
annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1996.  The Company
believes the actions and claims are without merit or are covered by insurance
and intends to vigorously defend against these actions.

NOTE E -- NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

     In March 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
121, "Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets and for Long-Lived
Assets to Be Disposed Of."  The new Statement requires the Company to review
long-lived assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances
indicate that the carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable.  If it is
determined that an impairment loss has occurred based on expected future cash
flows, then the loss should be recognized in the income statement and certain
disclosures regarding the impairment should be made in the financial
statements.  The Company's adoption of SFAS No. 121 has had no impact on the
Company's financial position or results of operations.

     In October 1995, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation."  SFAS No. 123 allows companies
to continue to account for their stock option plans in accordance with APB
Opinion No. 25 but encourages the adoption of a new accounting method to record
compensation expense based on the estimated fair value of employee stock
options.  The Company will continue to account for its stock option plans in
accordance with APB Opinion No. 25 and provide supplemental disclosures in its
year-end financial statements as required by SFAS No. 123.  No additional
disclosures are required on an interim basis.

     In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
128 "Earnings Per Share."  This Statement simplifies the standards for
computing earnings per share (EPS) and makes them comparable to international
EPS standards.  The Statement requires the presentation of both "basic" and 
"diluted" EPS on the face of the income statement with a supplementary
reconciliation of the numerators and denominators used in the calculations.
The Statement is effective for financial statements issued for periods ending
after December 15, 1997, including interim periods; earlier application is not
permitted.  Had the Statement been required to be implemented for the periods
presented, the effect on EPS would have been insignificant.

                     MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
               OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
             THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996
                            (DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

     The Company's net sales increased $18,254 or 9.3% to $214,580 for the
third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared to the same period in fiscal 1996.  The
increase was primarily due to new product sales and to greater unit sales to
existing customers of cough and cold and analgesic products.  New products
included Naproxen Sodium (a non-aspirin analgesic which is the active
ingredient in Aleve(R)), Minoxidil (a hair growth stimulant) and pregnancy test
kits.

     Gross profit increased $6,518 or 12.7% for the third quarter of fiscal
1997 compared to the same period in fiscal 1996.  The gross profit percentage
for the third quarter was 27.0% versus 26.2% for the same period in fiscal
1996.  The increase in margin rate was due to increased sales of higher margin
products of cough and cold, analgesics, Minoxidil and pregnancy test kits.

     Operating expenses increased $5,895 or 17.6% for the third quarter of
fiscal 1997 compared to the same period in fiscal 1996.  Operating expenses as
a percentage of net sales were 18.3% for the third quarter of fiscal 1997
versus 17.0% for the third quarter of fiscal 1996.  Selling and administrative
expenses increased by $3,483 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to 11.7% of
net sales from 11.1% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 1996.  The
increase was primarily due to higher wages and costs to support higher sales. 
Restructuring costs increased by $1,952 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 to
1.0% of net sales from .1% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 1996,
primarily due to the closing of CFL, and unusual litigation costs were $1,503
for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 versus $1,586 for the same period of
fiscal 1996.  See Notes C and D to the Condensed Consolidated Financial
Statements.  Operating expenses without restructuring and unusual litigation
costs increased $4,026 or 12.7% for the third quarter of fiscal 1997 compared
to the same period in fiscal 1996.

     Interest expense decreased $943 for the third quarter of fiscal 1997
compared to the same period in fiscal 1996 due to lower borrowing levels and
slightly lower interest rates.

     The effective income tax rate was 36.3% for the third quarter of fiscal
1997 versus 36.1% for the same period in fiscal 1996.

NINE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1997 AND 1996

     The Company's net sales increased $45,955 or 7.6% to $648,419 for the
first nine months of fiscal 1997 compared to the same period in fiscal 1996.
The increase was primarily due to greater unit sales to existing customers of
cough and cold, vitamin and analgesic products and to sales of new products as
discussed for the quarter, partially offset by sales of personal care products
which decreased in total due to price increases initiated in fiscal 1996.

     Gross profit increased $14,716 or 9.1% for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 compared to the same period of fiscal 1996.  The gross profit percentage
for the first nine months was 27.1% versus 26.7% for the same period in fiscal
1996.  The increase in margin rate was due to increased sales of higher margin
products of cough and cold, analgesics, Minoxidil and pregnancy test kits.

     Operating expenses increased $16,390 or 16.2% for the first nine months
of fiscal 1997 compared to the same period in fiscal 1996.  Operating expenses
as a percentage of net sales were 18.2% for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 versus 16.8% for the same period in fiscal 1996.  Research and development
costs increased $2,299 to 1.5% of net sales for the first nine months of fiscal
1997 compared to 1.3% of net sales for the same period in fiscal 1996,
primarily due to expenses related to new product development for which an
approval from the FDA through its ANDA process is required.  Selling and
administrative expenses increased $8,789 to 11.9% of net sales for the first
nine months of fiscal 1997 from 11.3% of net sales for the same period in
fiscal 1996.  The increase was primarily due to higher wages and costs to
support higher sales.  Restructuring costs increased $2,699 to 0.7% of net
sales for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 from 0.3% of net sales for the
same period in fiscal 1996, in part due to the closing of CFL, and unusual
litigation costs were $4,799 for the first nine months of fiscal 1997 versus
$4,584 for the same period in fiscal 1996.  See Notes C and D to the Condensed
Consolidated Financial Statements.

     Interest expense decreased $3,286 to $1,445 for the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 compared to the same period in fiscal 1996 due to lower borrowing
levels and slightly lower interest rates.

     The effective income tax rate was 36.5% for the first nine months of both
fiscal 1997 and fiscal 1996.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

     During the first nine months of fiscal 1997 working capital decreased
$1,719  and cash flow generated by operations exceeded cash flow used by
operations by $67,108.  Accounts receivable increased $7,643 due primarily to
increased sales, inventories increased $5,566 in order to support the increased
sales volume and accounts payable increased $10,877  due to the timing of
materials and component purchases related to production increases.

     Long-term debt decreased by $47,300  during the first nine months of
fiscal 1997 and as a result the Company's line of credit was fully paid down.
The decrease in debt was primarily due to close monitoring and management of
working capital and capital expenditures.

     The Company's capital expenditures for facilities and equipment were
$13,066 for the nine months ended March 31, 1997.  In order to support ongoing
growth in sales, the Company is investing in a number of projects to increase
its manufacturing and distribution capabilities.  The Company anticipates
capital expenditures of approximately $20,000 during fiscal year 1997,
principally for additional manufacturing and packaging equipment, and for an
integrated computer software package.  The Company plans to finance these
capital expenditures with cash flow from operations and, if required,
additional borrowings on its existing lines of credit.
