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

On March 24, 1998, the Company and Chattem, Inc. announced the completion of the
previously reported acquisition of the BAN line of anti-perspirant/deodorant
products from Bristol-Myers Squibb Company for a purchase price of $165,000,000
(subject to an inventory adjustment), plus the assumption of up to $5,000,000 of
liabilities. The Company and Chattem acquired the BAN world-wide trademarks,
formulae, certain patents pertaining to the anti-perspirant/deodorant products
technology, technical information, inventory, manufacturing equipment and
packaging related assets used in the manufacture of BAN, but not the right to
sell BAN in Japan. Concurrently with the closing of the acquisition, Chattem,
with the Company as guarantor, issued $200,000,000 of 8-7/8% Senior Subordinated
Notes due 2008 and amended and restated its existing senior secured credit
facilities. The proceeds from the Senior Subordinated Notes were used to fund
the purchase of BAN, pay related acquisition and financing fees and expenses and
repay certain bank indebtedness.

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 increased $296,000, or 23.4%, in the three months ended February
28, 1998, from the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase was due
to higher sales of the brands upon which royalties are calculated. The prior
year did not include sales of the SUNSOURCE products which were acquired in the
third quarter of fiscal 1997.

Investment income decreased by $19,000, or 100%, in the three months ended
February 28, 1998, from the corresponding period of the prior year primarily due
to the reduction of investments held by the Company.

Amortization expense increased $199,000, or 31.8%, in the three months ended
February 28, 1998, from the corresponding period of the prior year. The increase
was due primarily to the purchase of the SUNSOURCE trademarks, which were
acquired in the third quarter of fiscal 1997.
