Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
- - ------------------------------------------


1.   The financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of
     management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the information
     contained therein, and are subject to audit and adjustment at the end of
     the fiscal year, with the exception of the Consolidated Balance Sheet at
     December 31, 1993, which has been derived from the audited financial
     statements at that date.

2.   The 1993 Statement of Earnings and Retained Earnings and Statement of Cash
     Flows have been restated to reflect the cumulative effect of the adoption
     of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 112, "Employers'
     Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," effective January 1, 1993.


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

Results of Operations
- - ---------------------

First-quarter Net sales decreased 9.8% compared with the same period of the
prior year.  The decline was due to lower volumes, principally in the United
States, which resulted primarily from continuing reduction in trade customer
inventories.  Additionally, first quarter 1993 included introductory shipments
of a new 20-count package size.  Unfavorable foreign exchange translation caused
by weaker European currencies also contributed to lower sales but was somewhat
mitigated by inclusion of operations which were not previously consolidated.

Gross profit as a percent of Net sales was 68.4% for the first quarter, up .3%
from the same period in 1993, primarily as a result of the Company's continued
worldwide manufacturing efficiency programs and capital expenditures for
productivity improvements.

Marketing, selling and distribution expenses were 9.8% above the same period
last year, reflecting primarily the significant increase in advertising support
behind the TAMPAX tampon franchise in the United States.  In the first quarter
of 1994, the tampon category in the United States grew, supported by the
Company's advertising campaign.  However, the Company's market share was
adversely affected by heavy promotional activity of competitors.

Operating income for the three months decreased by 26.8% from 1993 as a result
of the lower sales and increases in marketing support noted above.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Interest, net and other was $1.9 million of expense in the first quarter of 1994
versus $.7 million of income in the same period last year.  A net loss was
experienced on foreign exchange transactions in the current year as compared
with gains reported in 1993.  In addition, interest expense was higher on an
increase in the Company's debt level.

The effective tax rate for the first quarter of 1994 was 37%, unchanged from the
same period in 1993.

Earnings per share were $.58 compared with $.82 in the same period of last year
before the cumulative effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 112.  Including the
cumulative effect of the accounting change, first quarter 1993 Earnings per
share were $.56.  The increase in Earnings per share was greater than that of
Net earnings because fewer shares were outstanding on average due to the
Company's share repurchase program.

Outlook
- - -------

The Company believes that the recent trend by retailers and distributors to
reduce inventories and the related adverse impact on shipments will continue in
future periods.  However, the rate of inventory reduction in future periods is
expected to be less than the rate of reduction previously experienced.
Management expects that highly competitive conditions will continue, including
higher levels of promotional activities and new product introductions by
competitors and further growth in private label tampons.  The Company intends to
continue the increased advertising and promotional activities in the United
States and Europe to provide support for the TAMPAX tampon franchise.  Such
expenditures will exceed 1993 spending levels.  In addition, new product
introductions are planned by the Company for the second half of 1994 in both the
United States and Europe.

Financial Condition
- - -------------------

At March 31, 1994, there was a working capital deficit of $45.8 million compared
with a deficit of $12.6 million at December 31, 1993.  The reduction in working
capital reflects short-term borrowings utilized for the Company's share
repurchase program.

Cash flows from operating activities in the first quarter amounted to $38.8
million versus $33.3 million in the prior year.  The lower Net earnings were
more than offset by an improvement in working capital.  Cash flows from
operations were more than adequate to fund the Company's capital expenditure and
dividend requirements.

The level of capital expenditures in the quarter was not materially different
from that of the same period in the prior year.  These expenditures related to
the Company's continued investment in equipment to improve productivity and
reduce costs.

                                      -6-

The Company anticipates that its future cash requirements will continue to be
met by its cash flows from operations and the ability to borrow from a variety
of sources.

At March 31, 1994, total Shareholders' equity was $65.6 million compared with
$115.0 million at December 31, 1993.  The net increase in Retained earnings of
$6.3 million was offset by $55.8 million related to the acquisition of Common
Stock under the share repurchase program.
