     the stock ten days prior to closing.  Concurrently with the closing of the
     acquisition, Chattem, Inc. entered into a $61,500,000 bank credit agreement
     and issued 1,100,000 new shares of Chattem stock at $5.00 per share to a

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

The following narrative represents management's comparative analysis of the 
material changes in the year-to-date results of operations of the Company 
pursuant to General Instruction H(2)(a) of Form 10-Q:

Other income increased by $1,207,000 to $1,219,000 for the six months ended 
May 31, 1996.  The increase over the prior year period was primarily due to 
the sale of the trademarks of the SOLTICE and BLIS-TO-SOL brands during the 
second quarter of fiscal 1996 and the sale of an investment.

Interest income from the Chattem, Inc. note receivable did not change in the 
six months ended May 31, 1996 from the corresponding period of the prior year.

Royalty income increased $84,000 in the six months ended May 31, 1996, from 
the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to the additional 
royalty income from the sales of GOLD BOND for one month.

Amortization expense increased $88,000 in the six months ended May 31, 1996, 
from the corresponding period of the prior year.  The increase was primarily 
due to the amortization of the GOLD BOND trademark for one month.
