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

Operations

     Worldwide net sales for the second quarter of 1995 increased 14% over the
prior year to $394,306,000. For the first six months of 1995, net sales
increased 15% over the prior year to $767,900,000. Sales increases were recorded
in flavor and fragrance products in both the second quarter and six month
periods. The sales increase in the second quarter and the first six months of
1995 was favorably affected by translating stronger foreign currencies into the
U.S. dollar.

     Net income for the second quarter of 1995 was $75,702,000, an increase of
17% from the 1994 second quarter. Net income for the first six months of 1995
was $145,658,000, an increase of 18% over the comparable 1994 period. The profit
growth recorded by the Company was primarily the result of the sales increase
for the period. Earnings per share for the second quarter and first six months
in 1995 were $.68 and $1.31, as compared to $.58 and $1.11 in the prior year
quarter and six month periods, respectively.

     The percentage relationship of cost of goods sold and other operating
expenses to sales for the first half 1995 and 1994 remained fairly constant,
especially on an overall basis.

Research and Development Expense .................        5.8%           5.9%
Selling and Administrative Expense ...............       14.2%          14.8%

     Interest expense was $1,047,000 for the second quarter of 1995, compared to
$5,379,000 for the second quarter 1994. For the first six months of 1995,
interest expense amounted to $1,612,000 compared to $11,544,000 in the first six
months of 1994. The lower interest expense in 1995 resulted primarily from the
lower average level of borrowings and lower interest rates in Brazil, where such



                                                                               5

borrowings were used as hedges against devaluations in that country. In 1994,
the higher borrowing levels and interest rates in Brazil generated significant
offsetting exchange gains which were included in Other Income. Other Income for
the second quarter 1995 was $3,034,000 and was $7,534,000 for the first six
months of 1995, compared to $7,356,000 and $17,810,000 for the corresponding
periods in 1994; the decline in 1995 was primarily due to lower exchange gains
resulting from the hedging activities in Brazil mentioned above.

     The effective tax rates for the second quarter and first six months of 1995
were 36.9% and 37.0%, respectively, as compared to 37.3% for the comparable
periods in 1994.

Financial Condition

     The financial condition of the Company continued to be strong during the
second quarter. Cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled
$277,543,000 at June 30, 1995. At June 30, 1995, working capital was
$784,593,000 compared to $704,763,000 at December 31, 1994. Gross additions to
property, plant and equipment during the first half of 1995 were $37,439,000. In
January 1995, the Company's cash dividend was increased 14.8% to an annual rate
of $1.24 per share, and $.31 per share was paid to shareholders in both the
first and second quarters. The Company anticipates that its growth, capital
expenditure programs and share repurchase program will be funded from internal
sources.

     The cumulative translation adjustment component of Shareholders' Equity at
June 30, 1995 was $91,895,000 compared to $41,798,000 at December 31, 1994.
Changes in the component result from translating the net assets of the majority
of the Company's foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars at current exchange
rates as required by the Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 52 on
accounting for foreign currency translation.
