CHURCH & DWIGHT CO., INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

1.	Basis of Presentation

The condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 25, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of income for the three months and nine months ended September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008, the condensed consolidated statements of cash flow and the condensed consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity for the nine months ended September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008 have been prepared by the Company. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (which include only normal recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position at September 25, 2009 and results of operations and cash flow 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. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008. The results of operations for the periods ended September 25, 2009 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

The Company’s fiscal year begins on January 1st and ends on December 31st. Quarterly periods are based on a 4 weeks - 4 weeks - 5 weeks methodology. As a result, the first quarter can include a partial or expanded week in the first four week period of the quarter. Similarly, the last five week period in the fourth quarter could include a partial or expanded week. Certain subsidiaries operating outside of North America are included for periods beginning and ending one month prior to the period presented, which enables timely processing of consolidating results. There were no material intervening events that occurred with respect to these subsidiaries in the one month period prior to the period presented.

The Company incurred research and development expenses in the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 of $12.6 million and $12.7 million, respectively. The Company incurred research and development expenses in the first nine months of 2009 and 2008 of $37.2 million and $37.4 million, respectively. These expenses are included in selling, general and administrative expenses.

2.	Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (“SFAS”) No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the “Codification”) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). ASC Topic 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC Topic 105 in the third quarter of 2009 and, accordingly, updated GAAP references are to the Codification. The Codification is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP and adoption of the Codification had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Subtopic 855-10, Subsequent Events: Overall (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which provides general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events. ASC Subtopic 855-10 clarifies that public companies must evaluate, as of each reporting period (i.e. interim and annual), events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued. It also requires public companies to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date on which the financial statements were issued. ASC Subtopic 855-10 is effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC Subtopic 855-10 in the second quarter of 2009 (see Note 20).

In April 2009, the FASB amended FASB ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments: Overall (formerly FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments). ASC Subtopic 825-10, as so amended, requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of ASC Subtopic 825-10. The Company adopted ASC Subtopic 825-10 effective as of the second quarter of 2009. See Note 7 for disclosures relating to the fair value of financial instruments.

During the second quarter of 2008, the Company announced it will be closing its North Brunswick, New Jersey facility in 2009 and, accordingly, has been recording accelerated depreciation charges on those facilities in the Consumer Domestic Segment. The accelerated depreciation charges of $4.5 million and $3.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 and 2008 respectively, and $13.5 million and $4.6 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008 respectively (see Note 17), are included in cost of sales.

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a plant asset impairment charge of approximately $4.0 million, representing the carrying value of the related assets associated with one of its international subsidiaries. The Company measured the impairment charge using the discounted cash flow method. This subsidiary manufactures some products that compete with imports priced in U.S. dollars. As the dollar has weakened, it has been necessary to lower prices in the local currency to stay competitive, leading to negative cash flows, which is the key input under the discounted cash flow method. The charge is included in cost of sales in the Specialty Products Division segment income statement. The Company's fair value measurement input is considered a Level 3, nonrecurring measurement under ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Overall (formerly SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements).

7.	Fair Value of Certain Instruments

ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Overall (formerly SFAS No. 157, Fair Value Measurements) establishes a hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs (generally, assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability) used to measure fair value based on the quality and reliability of the information provided by the inputs, as follows:

Level 1: Quoted market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2: Observable market based inputs or unobservable inputs that are corroborated by market data.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are not corroborated by market data.

The following table summarizes the carrying amounts and fair values of certain assets and liabilities:

	September 25, 2009		December 31, 2008
(In thousands)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)
Assets
Equity Derivatives	$	727	$	-
Foreign exchange contracts		-		353
Diesel fuel contract		204		-
	$	931	$	353

Interest rate collars and swaps		6,491		7,862
Diesel fuel contract		1,444		4,541
	$	8,758	$	12,498

The fair value of the equity derivatives is based on the quoted market prices of the Company stock at the end of each reporting period.

The fair value of the foreign exchange contracts are based on observable forward rates in commodity quoted intervals for the full term of the contract.

The fair value of the diesel fuel contracts is based on home heating oil future prices for the duration of the contract.

The fair value for the interest rate collars and swaps was derived using the forward three month LIBOR curve for the duration of the respective collars and swaps and a credit valuation adjustment relating to the credit risk of the counterparty.

The following table presents the carrying amounts and estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments at September 25, 2009 and December 31, 2008. ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments: Overall defines the fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.

Table of Contents

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets:

Note Receivable

The fair value of the note receivable reflects what management believes is the appropriate interest factor at September 25, 2009 and December 31, 2008, respectively, based on similar risks in the market.

Short-term Borrowings

The carrying amounts of accounts receivable securitization (see Note 11) and unsecured lines of credit equal fair value because of short maturities and variable interest rates.

Long-term Bank Debt, Current Portion of Long-term Debt

The Company determines fair value based upon the prevailing value of equivalent financing.

Senior Subordinated Note Debt

The Company determines fair value of its senior subordinated notes based upon their quoted market value.

8.	Derivative Instruments

Changes in interest rates, foreign exchange rates, the price of the Company’s common stock and commodity prices expose the Company to market risk. The Company manages these risks by the use of derivative instruments, such as cash flow hedges, diesel hedge contracts, equity derivatives and foreign exchange forward contracts. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted amendments to ASC Subtopic 815-10, Derivatives and Hedging: Overall (formerly SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities). ASC Subtopic 815-10, as so amended, requires enhanced disclosure of derivatives and hedging activities on an interim and annual basis. The guidance seeks to improve the transparency of financial reporting through enhanced disclosures on: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (b) how derivative instruments and related hedged items are accounted for; and (c) how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows.

The designation of a derivative instrument as a hedge and its ability to meet the hedge accounting criteria articulated in ASC Subtopic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging: Hedging – General (formerly SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities) determines how the change in fair value of the derivative instrument will be reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. A derivative qualifies for hedge accounting if, at inception, the derivative is expected to be highly effective in offsetting the cash flows or fair value of the hedged interest rate, commodity price, foreign exchange rate or other variable, and the documentation standards of ASC Subtopic 815-20 are fulfilled at the time the Company enters into the derivative contract. A hedge is designated as a cash flow hedge, fair value hedge, or a net investment in foreign operations hedge based on the type of exposure being hedged. The asset or liability value of the derivative will change in tandem with its fair value. Changes in fair value, for the effective portion of qualifying hedges, are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”). The derivative’s gain or loss is released from OCI to match the timing of the hedged underlying’s cash flows effect on earnings.

The Company reviews the effectiveness of its hedging instruments on a quarterly basis. If the Company determines that a derivative instrument is no longer highly effective, it recognizes in current period earnings the hedge ineffectiveness and discontinues hedge accounting with respect to the derivative instrument. Changes in fair value for derivatives not designated as hedges or those not qualifying for hedge accounting are recognized in current period earnings. Upon termination of cash flow hedges, the Company reclassifies gains and losses from other comprehensive income based on the timing of the underlying cash flows, unless the termination results from the failure of the intended transaction to occur in the expected timeframe. Such untimely transactions require immediate recognition in earnings of gains and losses previously recorded in other comprehensive income.

Table of Contents

During the nine months of 2009, the Company used derivative instruments to mitigate risk, some of which were designated as hedging instruments under ASC Subtopic 815-20, as indicated below.

Derivatives Designated as Hedging Instruments Under ASC Subtopic 815-20

Cash Flow Hedges

The Company entered into two cash flow hedge zero cost collar agreements, each covering a notional amount of $100.0 million, one effective as of September 29, 2006, and the other effective as of December 29, 2006, to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on a portion of its term loan indebtedness. The hedge agreements have terms of five and three years, respectively, each with a cap of 6.50% and a floor of 3.57%. The Company recorded a charge to interest expense of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $3.7 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2009 with respect to these hedge agreements. The Company estimates it will recognize approximately $1.8 million in interest expense under the hedge agreements in the fourth quarter of 2009. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedge agreements are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet.

Foreign Currency

The Company is subject to exposure from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, primarily U.S. Dollar/Euro, U.S. Dollar/British Pound, U.S. Dollar/Canadian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Mexican Peso, U.S. Dollar/Australian Dollar, U.S. Dollar/Brazilian Real and U.S. Dollar/Chinese Yuan.

The Company, from time to time, enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge anticipated but not yet committed sales or purchases denominated in the U.S. Dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound and Euro. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first nine months of 2009, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary entered into forward exchange contracts to protect the Company from the risk that, due to changes in currency exchange rates, it would be adversely affected by net cash outflows. The last of the contracts expire by the end of August 2010. The face value of the unexpired contracts as of September 25, 2009 totaled U.S. $19.5 million. The contracts qualified as foreign currency cash flow hedges, and, therefore, changes in the fair value through the end of the third quarter of 2009 were marked to market and recorded as Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The changes in fair values are summarized in the tables below for each reported period.

Derivatives not Designated as Hedging Instruments Under ASC Subtopic 815-20

Diesel Fuel Hedges

The Company uses independent freight carriers to deliver its products. These carriers charge the Company a basic rate per mile that is subject to a mileage surcharge for diesel fuel price increases. In July 2008 and April 2009, in response to increasing fuel prices and a concomitant increase in mileage surcharges, the Company entered into agreements with two financial counterparties to hedge approximately 34% of its notional diesel fuel requirements for 2009 and approximately 13% of its 2010 requirements. The Company uses the hedge agreements to mitigate the volatility of diesel fuel prices and related fuel surcharges, and not to speculate in the future price of diesel fuel. The hedge agreements are designed to add stability to the Company’s product costs, enabling the Company to make pricing decisions and lessen the economic impact of abrupt changes in diesel fuel prices over the term of the contract.

Because the diesel hedge agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Subtopic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging: Hedging - General (formerly SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities), the Company is required to mark the agreements to market throughout the life of the agreements and record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of income. The loss recorded, net of deferred taxes, as a result of changes in the fair value of the diesel fuel hedge agreements, was immaterial for the nine months ended September 25, 2009. If future diesel prices were to change by $0.10 per gallon, the impact on the 2009 financial statements due to the change in fair value of the hedge agreements would be approximately $0.3 million.

Equity Derivatives

The Company has entered into equity derivative contracts of its own stock in order to minimize the impact on earnings resulting from fluctuations in the liability to plan participants, as a result of changes in quoted fair values, with respect to contributions designated by the participants for notional investments in Company stock under the Company’s deferred compensation plan. The contracts are settled in cash.

14.	Commitments, contingencies and guarantees

In December 1981, the Company formed a partnership with a supplier of raw materials which mines and processes sodium-based mineral deposits. The Company purchases the majority of its sodium-based raw material requirements from the partnership. This agreement terminates upon two years’ written notice by either company. The Company has an annual commitment to purchase 240,000 tons of sodium-based raw materials at the prevailing market price. The Company is not engaged in any other material transactions with the partnership or the Company’s partner.

Our distribution of condoms under the TROJAN and other trademarks is regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (“FDA”). Certain of our condoms, and similar condoms sold by our competitors, contain the spermicide nonoxynol-9 (“N-9”). Some interested groups have issued reports that N-9 should not be used rectally or for multiple daily acts of vaginal intercourse. In late 2008, the FDA issued final labeling guidance for latex condoms but excluded N-9 lubricated condoms from the guidance. While we await further FDA guidance on N-9 lubricated condoms, we believe that our present labeling for condoms with N-9 is compliant with the overall objectives of the FDA’s guidance, and that condoms with N-9 will remain a viable contraceptive choice for those couples who wish to use them. However, we cannot predict the nature of the labeling that ultimately will be required by the FDA. If the FDA or state governments eventually promulgate rules that prohibit or restrict the use of N-9 in condoms (such as new labeling requirements), we could incur costs from obsolete products, packaging or raw materials, and sales of condoms could decline, which, in turn, could decrease our operating income.

As of September 25, 2009, the Company had commitments to acquire approximately $112.4 million of raw material, packaging supplies and services from its vendors at market prices. The packaging supplies are in either a converted or non-converted status. These commitments enable the Company to respond quickly to changes in customer orders or requirements.

The Company has $3.3 million of outstanding letters of credit drawn on several banks which guarantee payment for such things as insurance claims in the event of the Company’s insolvency. In addition, the Company guarantees the payment of rent on a leased facility in Spain. The lease expires in November 2012, and the accumulated monthly payments from September 25, 2009 through the remainder of the lease term will amount to approximately $2.5 million. Approximately two thirds of the rental space is subleased to a third party.

In connection with the Company’s acquisition of Unilever’s oral care brands in the United States and Canada in October 2003, the Company is required to make additional performance-based payments of a minimum of $5.0 million and a maximum of $12.0 million over the eight year period following the acquisition. The Company made cash payments of $0.6 million, and accrued a payment of $0.2 million in the first nine months of 2009. The payment and accrual were accounted for as additional purchase price. The Company has paid approximately $9.6 million, exclusive of the $0.2 million accrual, in additional performance-based payments since the acquisition.

The Company, in the ordinary course of its business, is the subject of, or a party to, various pending or threatened legal actions. The Company believes that any ultimate liability arising from these actions will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company made available for sale certain non core personal care product lines acquired in the Orajel Acquisition. The results of these product lines were included in both the Consumer Domestic and Consumer International Segments. In June 2009, the Company sold these product lines for approximately $30 million, net of fees, which approximated the book value of related assets.

On August 29, 2008, the Company sold its Consumer International subsidiary in Spain for $6.0 million. The transaction resulted in a pretax charge of $3.5 million, which has been recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses for the Consumer International Segment. As a result of the sale, a $4.0 million tax benefit also was recorded as a reduction to tax expense.

On February 29, 2008, the Company sold its wholly-owned British subsidiary, Brotherton Speciality Products Ltd. (“Brotherton”), for $11.2 million, net of fees. The sale resulted in a pretax gain of $3.0 million, which was recorded as a reduction of selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses in the Specialty Products Division segment.

17.	Plant Shutdown

On June 5, 2008, the Company announced plans to construct a new laundry detergent manufacturing plant and distribution center in York County, Pennsylvania and to close its existing laundry detergent manufacturing and distribution facility in North Brunswick, New Jersey. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures in connection with construction of the new facility, which began production of certain products in September 2009 and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2009, will be approximately $142 million, cash expenditures relating to the closing of the North Brunswick facilities will be approximately $11 million (see below for further details), and cash transition expenses in the new facility will be approximately $6 million. To build the plant and distribution center, the Company spent approximately $51 million in 2008, and approximately $68 million in the first nine months of 2009, and anticipates spending an additional $23 million during the remainder of 2009. The transition costs for the York facility will be incurred principally in 2009. The costs will be funded using the Company’s existing credit facilities and available cash.

The Company plans to provide severance and transition benefits to approximately 260 affected employees at the North Brunswick complex, as well as consideration for employment opportunities at other Company operations.

The Company expects to incur the following cash and non–cash costs relating to the closing of the North Brunswick complex, which have been, or will be, included in cost of sales for the Consumer Domestic segment:

Cash Costs

Severance - $3.8 million

Exit and disposal costs - $7.2 million

Non Cash Costs

Accelerated Depreciation - $24.6 million

The severance costs are being recognized ratably over the employees’ respective service requirements. In 2008, the Company accrued $1.9 million for severance costs. In the first nine months of 2009, the Company accrued an additional $1.6 million for severance costs, increasing the total accrual to $3.5 million as of September 25, 2009. To date, no severance payments have been made. The majority of the $3.8 million in severance payments will be made in 2010. The exit and disposal costs include asset disposition and lease related costs. The Company anticipates it will incur approximately $4 million in exit and disposal costs in 2009 and the balance of the exit and disposal costs in 2010. To date, $0.3 million has been paid for exit and disposal costs.

Accelerated depreciation charges are being recognized ratably over the remaining life of the North Brunswick complex. The Company recorded a charge of $8.1 million related to accelerated depreciation in 2008 and $13.5 million in the first nine months of 2009.

18.	Litigation Settlement

In April 2005, the Company filed suit against Abbott Laboratories, Inc. (“Abbott”) in the United States District Court for the District of New Jersey claiming infringement of certain patents resulting from Abbott’s manufacture and sale of its Fact Plus pregnancy diagnostic test kits. Following a trial in February 2008, the jury found that the Company’s patents were valid and willfully infringed by Abbott during the period from April 1999 through September 2003 and awarded damages to the Company in the amount of $14.6 million. On June 23, 2008, the District Court issued an opinion finding that Abbott’s conduct had been willful and doubled the damages awarded to the Company to $29.2 million, and on July 23, 2009 the District Court issued an opinion adding prejudgment interest in the sum of $8.8 million and costs of $51 thousand to the judgment, bringing the total judgment to over $38 million. Abbott filed an appeal. In a separate action commenced in July 2007, Abbott sued the Company in the United States District Court for the Northern District of Illinois for infringement of certain patents for which Abbott was an exclusive licensee. In July 2009, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment in the Illinois action. If the Company’s motion was not granted, trial of the Illinois action was scheduled for November 2009. On September 17, 2009, the Company and Abbott agreed to settle the litigation. As part of the settlement, Abbott agreed to pay $27 million to the Company. Abbott paid this amount to the Company on October 2, 2009, after which the New Jersey and Illinois actions were both dismissed with prejudice. The Company recognized a gain, net of legal expenses, of $20.0 million as of September 2009, which is reflected in the results of the Consumer Domestic segment.

19.	Segment Information

The Company operates three reportable segments: Consumer Domestic, Consumer International and Specialty Products Division (“SPD”). These segments are determined based on differences in the nature of products and organizational and ownership structures. The Company also has a Corporate segment.

Segment revenues are derived from the sale of the following products:

Segment		Products
Consumer Domestic		Household and personal care products
Consumer International		Primarily personal care products
SPD		Specialty chemical products

The Corporate segment income consists of equity in earnings of affiliates. The Company had 50% ownership interests in Armand Products Company (“Armand”) and The ArmaKleen Company (“ArmaKleen”) as of September 25, 2009. The Company’s 50% ownership interest in Esseco U.K. LLP (“Esseco”) was divested in the first quarter of 2008 as part of the sale of Brotherton. The Company’s equity in earnings of Armand and ArmaKleen for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008, and Esseco for the two months ended February 29, 2008 (prior to the sale of Brotherton) is included in the Corporate segment.

Some of the subsidiaries that are included in the Consumer International segment manufacture and sell personal care products to the Consumer Domestic segment. These sales are eliminated from the Consumer International segment results set forth below.

Segment sales and income before income taxes for the three and nine months ended September 25, 2009 and September 26, 2008 were as follows:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations

Consolidated Results

Net Sales

Net Sales for the quarter ended September 25, 2009 were $646.2 million, an increase of $15.5 million or 2.5% above last year’s third quarter. The increase is primarily due to higher unit volumes, particularly in the Consumer Domestic segment, and higher prices. The increase was offset partially by the reduction in sales resulting from the second quarter 2009 divestiture of certain non core personal care product lines acquired in connection with the Company’s July 2008 acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Del Laboratories, Inc. from Coty, Inc. (the “Orajel Acquisition”) and the third quarter 2008 divestiture of the Company’s consumer products subsidiary in Spain. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations reduced third quarter 2009 sales by 2.1%.

Net Sales for the nine months ended September 25, 2009 were $1,850.1 million, $72.6 million or 4.1% above the comparable nine month period of 2008. Of the increase, approximately 3% is due to sales of products acquired in connection with the Orajel Acquisition, and the balance of the increase in net sales is due primarily to higher prices, improved sales mix and higher unit volumes. These factors were offset in part by the reduction in sales resulting from the divestiture in the first quarter of 2008 of Brotherton Speciality Products Ltd. (“Brotherton”), a former United Kingdom subsidiary that was included in the Company’s Specialty Products Division, the second quarter 2009 divestiture of certain non core product lines acquired in the Orajel Acquisition and the third quarter 2008 divestiture of the Company’s consumer products subsidiary in Spain. Foreign exchange rate fluctuations reduced sales for the first nine months of 2009 by 3.4%.

Operating Costs

The Company’s gross profit was $284.9 million for the quarter ended September 25, 2009, a $33.8 million increase as compared to the same period in 2008. Gross margin increased 430 basis points to 44.1% in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to 39.8% in the same quarter of 2008. The increase in gross margin reflects lower commodity costs, the impact of price increases instituted in 2008 and the benefits of cost reduction programs. The gross profit increase was partially offset by an asset impairment charge of $4.0 million at an international subsidiary in the third quarter of 2009, increased costs related to the planned closing of the Company’s North Brunswick, NJ manufacturing and warehousing facility, and the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations. For the nine month period ended September 25, 2009, gross profit increased $98.1 million to $815.8 million. Gross margin increased 370 basis points to 44.1% in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to 40.4% in the same period last year. The factors causing the increase in the gross margin percentage for the nine months ended September 25, 2009 are the same as those applicable to the third quarter 2009 gross margin percentage increase.

Marketing expenses were $100.2 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $20.5 million as compared to the same period in 2008. Marketing expense as a percentage of net sales increased 290 basis points to 15.5% in the third quarter as compared to 12.6% in the same period last year. The increased marketing spending included expenditures in support of ARM & HAMMER liquid laundry detergent, OXICLEAN powder and liquid laundry additives, TROJAN condoms and SPINBRUSH battery-operated toothbrushes. Marketing expenses for the first nine months of 2009 were $260.3 million, an increase of $47.9 million as compared to the same period in 2008. The factors causing the increase in marketing expense for the nine months ended September 25, 2009 include those applicable to third quarter 2009 marketing expenses as well as expenditures for products acquired in the Orajel Acquisition.

Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) were $86.8 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $1.0 million as compared to the same period in 2008. The increase in SG&A in 2009 reflects increases in compensation costs and information systems costs partially offset by lower international costs due to foreign exchange rate fluctuations. In addition, third quarter 2008 SG&A reflected charges related to the divestiture of the Spain subsidiary. SG&A expenses for the first nine months of 2009 were $253.9 million, an increase of $8.9 million over the same period in 2008. The increase is primarily due to the items noted above, as well as higher amortization and operating costs related to the Orajel Acquisition for the first six months of 2009. Included in 2008 is the $3.0 million gain on the 2008 divestiture of Brotherton and the 2008 asset impairment charges of $5.4 million.

The condensed consolidated statement of income for the third quarter of 2009 reflects the $20.0 million gain, net of legal expenses, recognized by the Company in connection with the settlement of its litigation against Abbott Laboratories (see Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further information).

Other Income and Expense

Other income was approximately $0.4 million in the third quarter of 2009 as compared to other expense of $2.9 million in the same period of 2008. Other income was approximately $1.7 million in the first nine months of 2009 as compared to other expense of $0.6 million in the same period of 2008. The changes primarily reflect foreign exchange gains and losses.

Interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2009 decreased $3.0 million and $8.1 million respectively, compared to the same period in 2008. The decline was due to lower interest rates and average debt outstanding compared to the prior year.

Investment income in the three and nine month periods ended September 25, 2009 decreased $0.8 million and $4.5 million respectively, as compared to the same period in 2008, due to lower interest rates, despite a higher average cash balance for investment.

Taxation

The effective tax rate for the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 was 37.8% and 37.9 % respectively, as compared to 34.4% and 36.4% for the same periods last year. The 2008 tax rates reflected a third quarter tax benefit of $4.0 million related to the divestiture of the subsidiary in Spain.

Consumer Domestic

Consumer Domestic net sales in the third quarter of 2009 were $481.7 million, an increase of $37.0 million or 8.3% as compared to 2008 third quarter sales of $444.8 million. The increase is primarily attributable to higher unit volumes. At a product line level, sales of XTRA liquid laundry detergent, ARM & HAMMER liquid laundry detergent, ARM & HAMMER SUPER SCOOP, TROJAN condoms, OXICLEAN laundry additive, SPINBRUSH battery-operated toothbrushes, ORAJEL oral analgesics and FIRST RESPONSE pregnancy test kits, were all higher than in the third quarter of 2008. Consumer Domestic net sales benefited from the October 2008 price increase on liquid laundry detergents, toothpaste and battery-operated toothbrushes.

Consumer Domestic net sales for the nine months ended September 25, 2009 were $1,388.0 million, an increase of $148.8 million or approximately 12.0% compared to net sales during the first nine months of 2008. Of the increase, approximately 4% is due to sales of products acquired in connection with the Orajel Acquisition. The increase also is attributable to higher unit volumes, higher prices and improved sales mix. At a product line level, sales of XTRA liquid laundry detergent, ARM & HAMMER liquid laundry detergent, OXICLEAN laundry additive, ARM & HAMMER SUPER SCOOP cat litter and ARM & HAMMER powder laundry detergent were all higher than during the nine months ended September 26, 2008. Consumer Domestic net sales benefited from the May 2008 price increase on ARM & HAMMER powder laundry detergent and the October 2008 price increase on liquid laundry detergents, toothpaste and battery operated toothbrushes. The increased net sales were offset partially by lower sales of certain household cleaners and personal care products.

Consumer Domestic income before income taxes for the third quarter of 2009 was $101.6 million, a $42.5 million increase as compared to the third quarter of 2008, and for the nine month period ended September 25, 2009 was $256.4 million, a $73.4 million increase as compared to the first nine months of 2008. The third quarter 2009 increase is due to higher profits relating to higher net sales. The increase in income before income taxes reflects the segment’s lower commodity costs, the $20.0 million gain, net of legal expenses, recognized by the Company in connection with the settlement of its litigation against Abbott Laboratories (see Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report), and lower allocated interest expense, partially offset by accelerated depreciation and other expenses associated with the Company’s planned 2009 shutdown of its North Brunswick, New Jersey facility (see Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report), and increased marketing and SG&A costs. The factors causing the nine month increase in Consumer Domestic income before income tax were consistent with those described with respect to the third quarter of 2009. In addition, the results for the first nine months of 2009 also reflect the incremental effect of the Orajel acquisition, which occurred in the third quarter of 2008.

Table of Contents

Consumer International

Consumer International net sales were $104.0 million in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $8.6 million or 7.6% as compared to the third quarter of 2008. This decrease reflects the approximately 11% impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rate changes and the approximately 3% impact of the divestiture of the subsidiary in Spain at the end of the third quarter of 2008, partially offset by sales increases which occurred primarily in Canada, the United Kingdom and Australia.

Consumer International net sales in the first nine months of 2009 were $281.6 million, a decrease of $43.5 million or 13.4% as compared to the same period in 2008. This decrease reflects the approximately 16% impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations, and the approximately 3% impact of the divestiture of the Spain subsidiary, offset by higher sales in Canada, Australia, the United Kingdom and Mexico, as well as increased U.S. exports.

Consumer International income before income taxes was $8.9 million in the third quarter of 2009, an increase of $1.2 million compared to the same period of 2008. This increase is due to higher income associated with higher unit volume and favorable sales mix. In addition, Consumer International income before income taxes in the third quarter of 2008 was adversely affected by charges related to the sale of the subsidiary in Spain. These factors were partially offset by higher marketing expenses and unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations. For the first nine months of 2009, Consumer International income before income taxes was $28.4 million, a $1.9 million increase as compared to the first nine months of 2008. The factors causing the increase, including offsetting factors, are consistent with those affecting third quarter results.

Specialty Products Division (SPD)

Specialty Products net sales were $60.4 million in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $13.0 million or 17.6% compared to the third quarter of 2008. A significant decline in U.S. milk prices weakened the dairy market resulting in lower sales volumes in the animal nutrition business. The decrease in net sales also reflects the approximately 2% impact of unfavorable foreign exchange rate fluctuations. These factors were partially offset by higher prices of certain specialty chemical products.

Specialty Products net sales were $180.7 million for the first nine months of 2009, a decrease of $32.7 million, or 15.3% as compared to the same period of 2008. This decrease reflects the factors noted in the discussion of third quarter 2009 net sales, as well as the impact of the sale of Brotherton during the first quarter of 2008.

Specialty Products loss before income taxes was $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2009, a decrease of $5.9 million as compared to the same period in 2008. Specialty Products income before income taxes for the first nine months of 2009 was $12.9 million, a decrease of $8.1 million as compared to the same nine month period of 2008. The decline in income in the third quarter and first nine months of 2009 reflect the asset impairment charge and environmental remediation charge at one of the Company’s international subsidiaries totaling approximately $7.0 million, and lower income due to lower volumes. The results for the nine month period of 2008 included a $3.0 million gain associated with the sale of Brotherton.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of September 25, 2009, the Company had $419.2 million in cash, $85.0 million available through its $115.0 million accounts receivable securitization facility, approximately $96 million available under its $100.0 million revolving credit facility and a $250.0 million accordion feature that enables the Company to increase the principal amount of its term loan. To enhance the safety of its cash resources, the Company invests its cash primarily in government agency money market funds.

The Company renewed its accounts receivable securitization facility in February 2009. This facility has been renewed annually in the past, and the Company anticipates that this facility will be renewed in February 2010. The Company believes that its ability to access the sources of cash described above has not been adversely affected by recent economic events. Therefore, the Company currently does not anticipate that the credit environment will have a material adverse effect on its ability to address its current and forecasted liquidity requirements. The Company anticipates that its cash from operations, along with its current borrowing capacity, will be sufficient to meet its capital expenditure program costs (including the cash requirements related to construction of its new laundry detergent and warehouse facility in York County, Pennsylvania, discussed in this section under “Cash Flow Analysis - Net Cash Used in Investing Activities”), meet its mandatory debt repayment schedule and minimum pension funding requirements over the next twelve months and pay its common stock dividend at its current rate. On July 29, 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors declared an increase in the regular quarterly dividend from $0.09 to $0.14 per share, equivalent to an annual dividend of $0.56 per share. The higher dividend raised the Company’s annualized dividend payments from $25 million to $39 million.

The current economic environment presents risks that could have adverse consequences on the Company’s liquidity. (See “Economic conditions could adversely affect our business” under “Risk Factors” in Item 1A of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2008.) However, the Company does not currently anticipate that the potential adverse developments addressed in those risk factors will occur. In addition, the Company does not anticipate that current economic conditions will adversely affect its ability to comply with the financial covenants in its principal credit facilities because the Company currently is, and anticipates that it will continue to be, in compliance with the minimum interest coverage ratio requirement and the maximum leverage ratio requirement. These ratios are discussed in more detail in this section under “Certain Financial Covenants.”

Net Debt

The Company had outstanding total debt of $835.5 million and cash of $419.2 million (of which approximately $49.0 million resides in foreign subsidiaries) at September 25, 2009. Total debt less cash (“net debt”) was $416.3 million at September 25, 2009. This compares to total debt of $856.1 million and cash of $198.0 million, resulting in net debt of $658.1 million at December 31, 2008.

The Company entered into two cash flow hedge zero cost collar agreements, each covering a notional amount of $100.0 million, one effective as of September 29, 2006, and the other effective as of December 29, 2006, to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on a portion of its term loan indebtedness. The hedge agreements have terms of five and three years, respectively, each with a cap of 6.50% and a floor of 3.57%. The Company recorded a charge to interest expense of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $3.7 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2009 with respect to the hedge agreements. The Company estimates it will recognize approximately $1.8 million in interest expense under the hedge agreements in the fourth quarter of 2009. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedge agreements are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet.

In addition, the Company entered into interest rate swap hedge agreements covering a notional amount of $150.0 million, effective as of June 26, 2009, to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on a portion of its term loan indebtedness. The cash flow hedge agreements have terms of two years and a fixed rate of 1.38%. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedge agreements are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet. See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information regarding the Company’s cash flow hedge zero cost collar and interest rate swap agreements.

Cash Flow Analysis

	Nine Months Ended
	September 25,			September 26,
(In thousands)	2009			2008
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	308,830		$	222,129
Net cash (used in) investing activities	$	(55,843	)	$	(410,920	)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(37,060	)	$	116,510

Net Cash Provided by Operating Activities – The Company’s net cash provided by operating activities in the first nine months of 2009 increased $86.7 million to $308.8 million as compared to the same period in 2008. The increase was primarily due to higher net income, higher deferred income taxes, higher non-cash expenses for depreciation and compensation expense, and favorable changes in working capital (exclusive of cash), offset by lower asset impairment charges and higher equity earnings from affiliates. In addition, cash flow from operations in 2008 was reduced by the gain recorded on the sale of Brotherton (see Note 16).

For the nine months ended September 25, 2009, the components of working capital that significantly affected operating cash flow are as follows:

Accounts receivable increased $9.4 million due to increased net sales.

Inventories increased $21.9 million primarily to support higher anticipated sales and a temporary increase due to the start-up of the York plant.

Other current assets reflects the $27 million receivable due from Abbott in connection with litigation settlement recorded in the third quarter of 2009. Payment was received following the end of the third quarter. See Note 18 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for further discussion of the litigation settlement.

Accounts payable and other accrued expenses increased $55.8 million primarily due to the timing of payments, and includes the accrual for legal expenses associated with the Abbott litigation settlement.

Income taxes payable increased $11.8 million due to higher tax expense associated with increased earnings and the timing of payments.

Net Cash Used in Investing Activities – Net cash used in investing activities during the first nine months of 2009 was $55.8 million, reflecting $87.2 million of property, plant and equipment expenditures (including $68.0 million for the York County facility, discussed in the following paragraph), partially offset by approximately $30.1 million of proceeds received from the sale of certain personal care product lines initially acquired in the Orajel acquisition and a $1.3 million payment received on an outstanding note.

On June 5, 2008, the Company announced plans to construct a new laundry detergent manufacturing plant and distribution center in York County, Pennsylvania and to close its existing laundry detergent manufacturing and distribution facility in North Brunswick, New Jersey. The Company anticipates that capital expenditures in connection with construction of the new facility, which began production of certain products in September 2009 and is expected to be fully operational by the end of 2009, will be approximately $142 million, cash expenditures relating to the closing of the North Brunswick facilities will amount to approximately $11 million, and cash transition expenses in the new facility will be approximately $6 million. To build the plant and distribution center, the Company spent approximately $51 million in 2008 and approximately $68 million in the first nine months of 2009, and anticipates spending an additional $23 million during the remainder of 2009. The Company estimates it also will spend approximately $4 million in 2009 and $3 million in 2010 in connection with closing the North Brunswick facility. The majority of $4 million in severance payments will be made in 2010. The transition costs for the York facility will be incurred principally in 2009. The costs will be funded using the Company’s existing credit facilities and available cash. See Note 17 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for additional information.

Net Cash Used in Financing Activities – Net cash used in financing activities during the first nine months of 2009 was $37.1 million. This reflects a net decrease in debt of $21.4 million resulting from mandatory payments on the Term Loan of $50.9 million and payments of cash dividends of $22.5 million. These cash decreases were partially offset by an increase in short term borrowings of $29.0 million associated with the Company’s accounts receivable securitization facility and by proceeds of and tax benefits from stock option exercises of $7.2 million.

Certain Financial Covenants

Adjusted EBITDA is a component of the financial covenants contained in, and is defined in, the Company’s primary credit facility. Financial covenants include a leverage ratio (total debt to Adjusted EBITDA) and an interest coverage ratio (Adjusted EBITDA to total interest expense), which if not met, could result in an event of default and trigger the early termination of the credit facility, if not remedied within a specified period of time. Adjusted EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures used by other entities and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities, which is determined in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The leverage ratio during the twelve months ended September 25, 2009 was 1.7, which is below the maximum of 3.25 permitted under the credit facility, and the interest coverage ratio for the twelve months ending September 25, 2009 was 12.7, which is above the minimum of 3.0 permitted under the credit facility. The Company’s obligations under the credit facility are secured by the assets of the Company.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") amended Financial Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Subtopic 715-20, Compensation - Retirement Benefits: Defined Benefit Plans - General (formerly FASB Staff Position No. SFAS 132(R)-1, Employers’ Disclosures about Postretirement Benefit Plan Assets), ASC Subtopic 715-20, as so amended, requires employers to disclose information about fair value measurements of plan assets that are similar to the disclosures about fair value measurements required by ASC Subtopic 820-10, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures: Overall (formerly Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 157, Fair Value Measurements). The amendment will become effective for the Company’s annual financial statements for 2009. The Company currently is evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB amended ASC Subtopic 825-10, Financial Instruments: Overall (formerly FASB Staff Position No SFAS 107-1 and APB No. 28-1, Disclosures about the Fair Value of Financial Instruments), ASC Subtopic 825-10, as so amended, requires quarterly disclosure of information about the fair value of financial instruments within the scope of ASC Subtopic 825-10. The Company adopted ASC Subtopic 825-10 effective as of the second quarter of 2009 (see Note 7 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report for disclosures relating to the fair value of financial instruments).

In May 2009, the FASB issued ASC Subtopic 855-10, Subsequent Events: Overall (formerly SFAS No. 165, Subsequent Events), which provides general standards of accounting for and disclosure of subsequent events. ASC Subtopic 855-10 clarifies that public companies must evaluate, as of each reporting period (i.e. interim and annual), events or transactions that occur after the balance sheet date through the date that the financial statements are issued. It also requires public companies to disclose the date through which subsequent events have been evaluated and whether that is the date on which the financial statements were issued. ASC 855-10 is effective prospectively for interim or annual financial periods ending after June 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC Subtopic 855-10 in the second quarter of 2009 (see Note 20 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this report).

In June 2009, the FASB issued SFAS No. 167, Amendments to FASB Interpretation No. 46(R) (SFAS 167). SFAS 167 amends FASB Interpretation No. 46 (R), Consolidation of Variable Interest Entities – an Interpretation of ARB No. 51 to (1) require an enterprise to perform an analysis to determine whether the enterprise’s variable interest or interests give it a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity (which would result in the enterprise being deemed the primary beneficiary of that entity and, therefore, obligated to consolidate the variable interest entity in its financial statements); (2) require ongoing reassessments of whether an enterprise is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity; (3) revise guidance for determining whether an entity is a variable interest entity; and (4) require enhanced disclosures that will provide more transparent information about an enterprise’s involvement with a variable interest entity. SFAS No. 167 is effective for the first annual reporting period beginning after November 15, 2009 and for interim periods within that first annual reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this standard on its consolidated financial statements.

In June 2009, the FASB issued ASC Topic 105, Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (formerly SFAS No. 168, The FASB Accounting Standards Codification and the Hierarchy of Generally Accepted Accounting Principles). ASC Topic 105 establishes the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (the Codification) as the source of authoritative accounting principles recognized by the FASB to be applied by nongovernmental entities in the preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). ASC Topic 105 is effective for interim and annual periods ending after September 15, 2009. The Company adopted ASC Topic 105 in the third quarter of 2009 and, accordingly, updated GAAP references are to the Codification. The Codification is not intended to change or alter existing GAAP and the adoption of the Codification had no impact on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

The Company had outstanding total debt at September 25, 2009 of $835.5 million, of which $250.0 million or 30% carries a fixed rate of interest. The remaining debt balance is primarily comprised of $552.0 million in term loans under the Company’s principal credit facilities, $30.0 million outstanding under a receivables purchase agreement and $3.5 million in international debt.

The Company entered into two cash flow hedge zero cost collar agreements, each covering a notional amount of $100.0 million, one effective as of September 29, 2006, and the other effective as of December 29, 2006, to reduce the impact of interest rate fluctuations on a portion of its term loan indebtedness. The hedge agreements have terms of five and three years, respectively, each with a cap of 6.50% and a floor of 3.57%. The Company recorded a charge to interest expense of $1.5 million in the third quarter of 2009 and $3.7 million in the nine months ended September 25, 2009 with respect to these hedge agreements. The Company estimates it will recognize approximately $1.8 million in interest expense under the hedge agreements in the fourth quarter of 2009. Changes in the fair value of cash flow hedge agreements are recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income on the balance sheet.

The weighted average interest rate on all Company borrowings at September 25, 2009, giving effect to the cash flow hedge zero cost collar and interest rate swap agreements and excluding deferred financing costs and commitment fees, was approximately 3.6%.

If the variable rate on the Company’s floating rate debt outstanding on September 25, 2009 were to change by 100 basis points from the September 25, 2009 level, annual interest expense associated with the floating rate debt would change by approximately $2.4 million.

Foreign Currency

The Company, from time to time, enters into forward exchange contracts to hedge anticipated but not yet committed sales or purchases denominated in the U.S. Dollar, Canadian dollar, British pound and Euro. During the fourth quarter of 2008 and the first nine months of 2009, the Company’s Canadian subsidiary entered into forward exchange contracts to protect the Company from the risk that, due to changes in currency exchange rates, it would be adversely affected by net cash outflows. The last of the contracts expire by the end of August 2010. The face value of the unexpired contracts as of September 25, 2009 totaled U.S. $19.5 million. The contracts qualified for hedge accounting in accordance with ASC Subtopic 815-20 (formerly SFAS No. 133), and, therefore, changes in the fair value were marked to market and recorded as Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). The loss recorded, net of deferred taxes, as a result of changes in fair value of the forward exchange contracts, was approximately $0.6 million for the nine months ended September 25, 2009.

Diesel Fuel Hedge

Because the diesel hedge agreements do not qualify for hedge accounting under ASC Subtopic 815-20, Derivatives and Hedging: Hedging - General (formerly SFAS No. 133, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities), the Company is required to mark the agreements to market throughout the life of the agreements and record changes in fair value in the consolidated statement of income. The loss recorded, net of deferred taxes, as a result of changes in the fair value of the diesel fuel hedge agreements, was immaterial for the nine months ended September 25, 2009. If future diesel prices were to change by $0.10 per gallon, the impact on the 2009 financial statements due to the hedge agreements would be approximately $0.3 million.
