                 NOTES TO CONDENSED (UNAUDITED) FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.  The accompanying unaudited condensed financial statements have been
    prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
    interim financial information and the instructions to Form 10-Q and Rule
    10-01 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.  The accompanying unaudited
    condensed financial statements, in the opinion of management, include all
    adjustments necessary for a fair presentation.  All such adjustments are of
    a normal recurring nature.

2.  The results of operations for the three months ended February 28, 1997 and
    February 29, 1996 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
    expected for the respective full years.

3.  Certain amounts in the prior period financial information have been
    reclassified to conform to the current presentation.

4.  On June 17, 1994, the Company acquired a license to the PHISODERM trademark
    in the United States, Canada and Puerto Rico from Sterling Winthrop Inc.
    ("Sterling").  If net sales of PHISODERM products in the United States, by
    Chattem, Inc. only, exceed $11,000,000 for the 12-month period beginning
    July 1, 1996 and ending June 30, 1997, the Company will pay Sterling an
    additional $1,000,000.

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:

Royalty income from Chattem increased $460,000, or 57%, in the three months
ended February 28, 1997, from the corresponding period of the prior year.  The
increase was primarily due to higher sales on the brands upon which royalties
are calculated.  The prior year period did not include sales of GOLD BOND,
HERPECIN-L or PHISODERM Antibacterial Hand Cleanser.  These products were
acquired or introduced to the market in the second and third quarters of fiscal
1996.

Investment income decreased $304,000, or 94%, in the three months ended February
28, 1997, from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due to the
reduction of investments held by the Company.

Interest income from the Chattem note receivable decreased in the three months
ended February 28, 1997 from the corresponding period of the prior year.  The
note was repaid in full by Chattem in the fourth quarter of fiscal 1996.

Amortization expense increased $283,000, or 98%, in the three months ended
February 28, 1997, from the corresponding period of the prior year.  The
increase was due to the additions of the GOLD BOND and HERPECIN-L trademarks in
the second and third quarters of fiscal 1996.
