NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. The consolidated balance sheet as of July 1, 1994, the consolidated
statements of income and retained earnings for the six months ended July 1,
1994 and July 2, 1993, and the consolidated statements of cash flow for
the six months then ended have been prepared by the Company without audit.
In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal
recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position,
results of operations and cash flow at July 1, 1994 and for all periods
presented have been made.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial
statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been condensed or omitted. It is suggested that these
condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's December
31, 1993 annual report to shareholders. The results of operations for the
period ended July 1, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
results for the full year.

4. Accounting Changes
The Company adopted three new accounting standards as of January 1, 1993.
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 106 (SFAS 106), "Employers'
Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other than Pensions" requires the
accrual of the estimated cost of postretirement benefits. The cost of
these benefits was previously expensed on a pay-as-you-go basis. Adoption
of SFAS 106 resulted in an after-tax charge against earnings of $5.6
million or $.28 per share. Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No.
109, "Accounting for Income Taxes," changed the method by which companies
account for deferred income taxes, and its adoption resulted in an after-tax
credit of $3.0 million or $.15 per share.

CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
During the fourth quarter of 1993, the Company elected to adopt, effective
as of January 1, 1993, the accounting provisions of Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards No. 112 (SFAS 112), "Employers' Accounting for
Postemployment Benefits". First quarter 1993 results have been restated to
reflect such adoption. This standard requires that the cost of benefits
provided to former or inactive employees be recognized on the accrual basis
of accounting. Previously, the Company recognized postemployment benefit
costs when paid. The cumulative effect of this change resulted in a charge
against earnings of $.5 million or $.03 per share. The combined effect of
adopting the three new accounting standards was a charge against earnings
of $3.2 million, or $.16 per share.
5. Investment in Joint Venture
In financial statements originally issued for periods prior to December 31,
1993, the Company had consolidated its proportionate share of each of the
individual assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses of the Armand Products
Company joint venture. In 1993, the Company restated its financial
statements to reflect the 50 percent interest in the joint venture on the
equity method of accounting for investments. This method reflects the
Company's proportionate share of the joint venture net profit as a
single-line item, "Equity in joint venture income," in the income statement.
Similarly, the Company's investment and cumulative share of profits less
distributions received from the joint venture is reflected as a single-line
item, "Equity investment in joint venture," in the Company's balance sheet.
This change had no effect upon stockholders' equity or the net income of the
Company for any period.
Summarized income statement data for Armand Products Company is as follows:
Three Months Ended Six Months Ended
July 1, July 2, July 1, July 2,
(in thousands) 1994 1993 1994 1993
Net sales $12,021 $10,853 $22,824 $20,013
Gross profit 4,973 4,854 8,791 8,794
Net income 4,160 4,062 7,176 7,430
Company's share in net income 2,080 2,031 3,588 3,715
Elimination of Company's share of
intercompany interest expense 114 112 227 228
Equity in joint venture income $2,194 $2,143 $3,815 $3,943
The financial information presented above is based upon the results of
operation of the Armand Products Company, a joint venture partnership.
Product and services are provided to the Armand Products Company by the
joint venture partners at cost. As a result, the above information would
not be indicative of the results of operations had the joint venture
operated on a stand-alone basis.
6. Net income per share is computed based upon the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares
have not been included as their effect is not material.
7. Officer Loan Guarantees
In accordance with a long-term compensation plan approved by the Board of
Directors, 70,000 shares of Company common stock were sold to senior
officers in the second quarter of 1994 at a price of $22.63 per share. In
the second quarter of 1993, the Company sold 60,000 shares of common stock
to senior officers at a price of $32.25 per share. The selling price in
both cases was the market price on the date of sale. These transactions,
amounting to $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, were financed by
loans to the individuals by financial institutions. These loans have been
guaranteed by the Company.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Results of Operations
For the quarter ended July 1, 1994, net income was $6.4 million or
$.32 per share. These results were essentially equal to same time period a
year ago. For the first six months of 1994, net income was $8.8 million or
$.44 per share. This compares with net income of $9.4 or $.46 per share
for the first half of 1993. In the first quarter of 1993, the Company
adopted three new accounting standards; Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other
than Pensions," Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 109,
"Accounting for Income Taxes" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards
No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits". The net
effect of adopting the new accounting standards was a net charge against
earnings of $3.2 million or $.16 per share.
Net sales in the second quarter amounted to $130.7 million, which were
slightly ahead of a year ago. Volume gains of ARM & HAMMER (registered
trademark) Powder Laundry Detergent, the newly introduced ARM & HAMMER
Deodorant Anti-Perspirant and international sales of ARM & HAMMER DENTAL
CARE (registered trademark) were experienced during the quarter. These gains
were partially offset by lower domestic unit volume of ARM & HAMMER DENTAL
CARE, ARM & HAMMER Baking Soda, which experienced an exceptionally strong
second quarter in 1993 and the reduced price strategy implemented in late
1993 on ARM & HAMMER Powder Laundry Detergent. Specialty Product sales were
essentially unchanged from the same period of a year ago.
Net sales for the first six months of 1994 were $242.2 million,
representing a 4.7 percent decline from a year ago. This is primarily due to
lower domestic unit volume of ARM & HAMMER DENTAL CARE, ARM & HAMMER Baking
Soda, and the price reduction on ARM & HAMMER Powder Laundry Detergent,
partially offset by volume associated with ARM & HAMMER Deodorant
Anti-Perspirant and sales of ARM & HAMMER DENTAL CARE internationally. The
Specialty Products Division net sales were slightly lower than in 1993, as a
result of lower unit volume of MEGALAC (registered trademark) Rumen Bypass
Fat, partially offset by gains of performance sodium bicarbonate.
The Company's gross margin was 44.2 percent in the second quarter and
43.4 percent in the first half of 1994. This compares with 46.7 percent
and 47.2 percent in the corresponding quarter and six months of last year.
The decline can be attributed to the price reduction on ARM & HAMMER Powder
Laundry Detergent and lower volume of high margin ARM & HAMMER DENTAL CARE.
Selling, general and administrative costs decreased by $3.9 million and
$9.9 million in the second quarter and first half of 1994, respectively as
compared with the same periods a year ago. The reduction in costs was
primarily the result of lower advertising and promotion for ARM & HAMMER
DENTAL CARE and reduced spending in the area of systems development. These
lower costs were partially offset by introductory marketing support for
ARM & HAMMER Deodorant Anti-Perspirant.
Other Income/Expense
Investment income decreased in the current quarter and year-to-date as
compared to the corresponding periods of last year as a result of a decrease
in the amounts available for investment. Interest payments were higher in
the current quarter and year-to-date as compared to the same periods of last
year due to an increase in short-term borrowing.
Income Taxes
The effective tax rate for the first half of 1994 was 38.9 percent, up
from 37.3 percent in the first half of 1993. This is primarily due to the
1993 increase of the U.S. corporate statutory tax rate which was enacted
during the third quarter of 1993.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The Company considers cash and short-term investments as the principal
measurement of its liquidity. At July 1, 1994, cash including cash
equivalents and short-term investments totaled $6.7 million as compared to
$9.6 million at December 31, 1993.
During the first half of 1994, operating activities required $1.9 million
of additional investment primarily in working capital. The Company received
$5.2 million in distributions from its Armand Products joint venture,
increased its short-term borrowings by $24.3 million and received $1.6 million
in connection with the sale of Company stock to senior officers. Significant
expenditures include additions to property, plant and equipment of $13.1
million, the purchase of 669,400 shares of Company common stock for the
treasury totaling $14.5 million and the payment of cash dividends of $4.4
million.
