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,
1994, which has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date.


2.  In the second quarter, the Company provided $11.4 million ($8.7 million
after tax) for expenses related to several legal proceedings related to
previously divested non-tampon businesses and for a securities class action
filed in 1993.



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

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

Second-quarter Net sales of $176.3 million increased 6% compared with the same
period of the prior year.  The increase was primarily due to higher worldwide
unit sales volumes, particularly in Europe, principally as a result of the
stabilization of the U.K. sales volumes and the success of the Tampax Satin
product in France, launched late in 1994. The impact, primarily in the United
States, of a change in sales mix to include more value-priced pack sizes and
products was mitigated by the continuing benefit of a weakened U. S. dollar. For
the six months ended June 30, Net sales were up 13% compared with the first half
of 1994. Strong sales volumes in the United States and Europe were augmented by
favorable foreign exchange translations, but partially offset by lower average
prices due to the sales mix.

Gross profit as a percent of Net sales was 66.9% for both the second quarter and
six months of 1995 versus 68.2% and 68.3% for the corresponding periods of 1994.
This reduction in both periods is principally due to product mix changes and
increasing costs for raw and packaging materials.

Marketing, selling and distribution expenses were 2% and 14% above the second
quarter and first half of 1994, respectively. The comparatively higher spending
levels in the six month period of 1995 reflect support of the Satin Touch launch
in the United States in the first quarter of 1995 and overall stronger levels of
promotional support in Europe, Latin America and Asia/Pacific against a
relatively low base in the first quarter of 1994.  The tampon category grew in
the United States during the current periods and Tampax market shares exhibited
improvements over the prior year.

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Administrative and general expenses continued to be relatively flat versus
comparable periods of the prior year as the result of  management's continuing
efforts to contain overhead costs.

Operating income for the three and six months rose 9% and 8%, respectively, from
1994. The increase for the quarter was principally attributable to higher unit
sales, partially offset by the lower gross profit discussed earlier but assisted
by favorable foreign exchange translations. In addition to these factors, the
increased brand support levels reduced the favorability in the first half of
1995.

Interest, net and other were approximately equal with prior years due to a rise
in average interest rates, partially offset by lower foreign exchange costs.

In the second quarter of 1995, the Company provided $11.4 million, for several
previously disclosed legal proceedings related to previously divested non-tampon
businesses and for settlement of a securities class action filed in 1993.

The effective tax rate was 44% and 40%, respectively, for the second quarter and
six month periods of 1995 versus 37% for both periods of 1994. The higher
effective tax rates in 1995 were primarily due to the litigation charge, the
cost of which is not fully deductible for tax purposes. Exclusive of the
litigation charge, the 1995 effective tax rate would have been 38% for the six
month period. The increase exclusive of the litigation charge, is primarily due
to the mix of domestic and foreign taxable income, at varying rates.

Earnings per share were $.36 and $.98 for the second quarter and six months,
respectively, versus $.54 and $1.13 for the comparable periods of the prior
year.  The decline in Earnings per share for both the quarter and the half-year
was due to the litigation charge.  Exclusive of the litigation charge, Earnings
per share would have been $.59 and $1.21, respectively, for the second quarter
and first six months of 1995. Earnings per share excluding the litigation charge
increased at a higher rate than Net earnings because fewer shares were
outstanding on average during the periods.

Outlook
-------
The worldwide market for consumer products will continue to be highly
competitive and disinflationary.  The Company expects a heightened level of
advertising and promotional activities and new product introductions from
competitors, along with continued activity in the private label sector.  The
Company will be relaunching an upgraded version of its original and best selling
Tampax tampon line in the United States in the Fall of 1995, and intends to
proceed with its aggressive support of the Tampax tampon franchise with highly
competitive levels of advertising and promotional activities in the United
States and Europe. As consumers continue to focus on value-priced goods,
management expects current pricing pressures to be ongoing.

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
The cost of manufacturing likely will continue to be impacted by escalating
material costs.  Management intends to continue with productivity initiatives to
attempt to mitigate the effect of manufacturing cost increases.

Financial Condition
-------------------
At June 30, 1995 there was a working capital deficit of $23.8 million compared
with a deficit of $26.0 million at the prior year end.  The net reduction in the
working capital deficit primarily reflects higher accounts receivable on strong
sales in the current period and expected recoveries from insurance, offset by
increased short-term borrowings.  Additionally, inventories were increased to
support the relaunch of the improved Tampax product and to smooth manufacturing
throughput.

Capital expenditures of $18.4 million represent the Company's continued
investment in equipment to improve product quality and productivity, modernize
production facilities and reduce costs.  Spending levels in 1995 are expected to
approximate those of 1994. 

In the second quarter, the Company utilized $4.3 million to acquire shares for
treasury purposes in its Common Stock repurchase program. The repurchase program
will continue as conditions warrant.

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

At June 30, 1995 total Shareholders' equity was $86.1 million compared with
$82.0 million at December 31, 1994.  The net increase in Retained earnings of
$3.7 million was augmented by a $3.2 million reduction in cumulative translation
adjustments and offset by the effect of treasury stock activity, driven by the
share repurchase program.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                          ---------------------------


Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
-------  -----------------

The Company or a subsidiary is a defendant in a small number of product
liability lawsuits based on allegations that toxic shock syndrome ("TSS") was
contracted through the use of tampons.  A small number of pre-suit claims
involving similar TSS allegations have also been asserted.  The damages alleged
vary from case to case and often include claims for punitive damages.  One TSS
lawsuit, served on the Company in July 1994, purports to be a class action on
behalf of all women who have contracted TSS through the use of tampons.  The
Company is vigorously contesting the plaintiffs' motion for class certification,
as well as the allegations contained in the plaintiffs' complaint.

The Company and three of its former officers were named as defendants in certain
shareholder lawsuits filed in 1993 in the United States District Court for the
Southern District of New York and consolidated under the caption In Re Tambrands
                                                                 ---------------
Inc. Securities Litigation.  The parties stipulated to the certification of the
--------------------------                                                     
consolidated lawsuit as a class action on behalf of all purchasers of the
Company's common stock during the period December 14, 1992 through April 28,
1993.  The complaint alleged that the Company's disclosures during the class
period contained material misstatements and omissions concerning its anticipated
future earnings and thereby allegedly violated Section 10(b) and Rule 10b-5 of
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934.  As announced on July 14, 1995, plaintiffs
and defendants in this litigation have reached agreement on settlement, subject
to court approval.

The Company was a nominal defendant in three purported shareholder derivative
lawsuits filed in the Supreme Court of the State of New York for Westchester
County and consolidated into a single action.  Named collectively in the
consolidated complaint as individual defendants were the Company's directors
(other than Mr. Fogarty), certain former directors and three of its former
officers.  The complaint alleged that the officer-defendants exposed the Company
to liability in the shareholder class action described in the preceding
paragraph and misappropriated corporate opportunities by trading in the
Company's stock on the basis of nonpublic information.  One of the former
officers was also alleged to have received improper reimbursements from the
Company for alleged personal expenses.  The director-defendants were alleged to
have acquiesced in the aforesaid alleged violations.  The complaint sought to
recover on behalf of the Company an unspecified amount of damages from the
individual defendants.  No relief was sought against the Company.  In September
1994, the Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss the complaint for failure
to make a demand upon the Board of Directors. Plaintiffs have appealed the
dismissal.

The Company is involved, either as a named defendant or as the result of
contractual indemnities, in certain litigation arising out of the operations of
certain divested subsidiaries.

There are certain other legal proceedings pending against the Company arising
out of its normal course of business in which claims for monetary damages are
asserted.

While it is not feasible to predict the outcome of these legal proceedings and
claims with certainty, management is of the belief that any ultimate liabilities
for damages either are covered by insurance, are provided for in the Company's
financial statements or, to the extent not so covered or provided for, should
not individually or in the aggregate have a material adverse effect on the
Company's financial position.

Items 2, 3 and 5 of Part II have been omitted since either the Company's
response to the Item would be negative or the Item is inapplicable.
