Interim Period Accounting Policy --------------------------------------------------------------------- In the opinion of management, the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Shareholders Equity as of March 31,June 30, 2002 and the related unaudited Consolidated Statements of Income and the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three month periodand six-month periods then ended and for the comparative periodperiods in 2001 contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring accruals, necessary to present fairly the financial position as of March 31,June 30, 2002 and the results of operations and cash flows for the respective periods. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. Reclassification ---------------- Certain items have been reclassified to conform to current classifications. In particular, interest expense is recorded net of interest income. Interest income was previously recorded in other (income) expense. The impact of the reclassification decreased previously reported firstsecond quarter and six-months 2001 other (income) expense and decreased interest expense by $400.$400 and $800, respectively. Operating Expenses ------------------ To better relate costs to benefits received or activity in an interim period, certain operating expenses have been annualized for interim reporting purposes. Such expenses include certain employee benefit costs and annual quantity discounts. Income Taxes ------------- The tax rate used for interim periods is the estimated annual effective consolidated tax rate, based on the current estimate of full year results, except that taxes applicable to prior year adjustments, if any, are recorded as identified. InThe effective tax rate for the second quarter of 2002 was 30.7%. Excluding the non-recurring foreign exchange gain in the first quarter of 2002, the Company recordedestimated annual tax rate for 2002 is 33%, compared with a pre-tax36% estimated rate used in the second quarter of 2001. The estimated annual rate for 2002 decreased from that of the first quarter due to expected benefits resulting from the utilization of foreign exchange gaintax credits. The reduction in the annual rate resulted in a tax benefit of $1,700. Excluding, this non-recurring item,$200 in the second quarter of 2002. The 2002 estimated annual tax rate of 33% is equal to 2001's full year effective tax rate, for the first quarter 2002 was 35%.excluding unusual items.

At December 31, 2001 the Company was required to hold $4.3 million of the sales proceeds in trust for the repayment of certain debentures issued by the contract manufacturing and packaging business, thatwhich became due and payable upon the sale. These debentures were repaid in the first quarter of 2002 resulting in a $400, net of tax, charge which was included in the loss on disposal of discontinued operations. 9. Effective January 1, 2002, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Statement No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets." SFAS 142 eliminated the previous requirement to amortize goodwill and indefinite-lived intangible assets. Instead, goodwill and intangible assets with indefinite lives are tested for impairment on at least an annual basis or sooner if an event occurs which indicates that there could be impairment. The SFAS 142 impairment test begins with an estimate of the fair value of the reporting unit or intangible asset. The Company has determined its reporting units to be each of the four geographic regions in the Pharmaceutical Systems Segment, the drug delivery business unit, and the clinical services business unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit is less than the carrying value, the goodwill or intangible asset is considered impaired. Once impairment is determined, an impairment loss is recognized for the amount that the carrying amount exceeds the fair value. The Company performed an impairment test of its goodwill as of January 1, 2002 and determined that no impairment of the recorded goodwill existed. As required by the statement, the Company did not record amortization expense for goodwill in the first quarter of 2002 as compared to the $300 and $600, net of tax, recorded in the prior year quarter.three and six-month periods. The goodwill balance as of March 31,June 30, 2002 was $32,100$35,600 as compared to $32,600 as of December 31, 2001. The decreaseincrease of $500$3,000 is solely the result of foreign currency translation adjustments. Page 11 West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited) (Continued) Goodwill by reportable segment as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 was as follows: 6/30/02 12/31/01 -------- -------- Pharmaceutical Systems 31,700 28,700 Drug Delivery Systems 3,900 3,900 -------- -------- 35,600 32,600 The cost and respective accumulated amortization for the Company's intangible assets, mainly patents, was $11,000$11,500 and $3,500,$3,700, respectively, as of March 31,June 30, 2002, and $11,200 and $3,300, respectively, as of December 31, 2001. The cost basis of intangibles includes the effects of foreign currency translation adjustments. There were no intangibles purchased or acquired during 2002. Intangible amortization expense for the quarterthree and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2002 was $200 and $400, respectively, and is estimated to be $700 for the full year. Estimated amortization for each of the subsequent five fiscal years will be approximately $700 per year. The following reconciles the reported net income and earnings per share to that which would have resulted had SFAS No. 142 been applied to the three-month periodthree and six-month periods ended March 31,June 30, 2001.

During the first quarter of 2002, the Company's Argentina subsidiary recorded a foreign currency translation gain of $1,700 on net assets denominated in non-peso currencies due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso and associated with a repatriation of funds to the United States.peso. The foreign currency gain was subject to both Argentine federal income taxes and US dividend withholding taxes. The devaluation of assets denominated in the Argentine peso totaled $2,700$3,200 as of March 31,June 30, 2002 and is recorded as a cumulative translation adjustment to shareholder's equity. 11. In July 2002, the Company announced that companies in which it has an equity investment, will consolidate two rubber molding operations in Mexico into a single facility. The Company therefore expects to take a third quarter 2002 charge of $0.07 per share, representing its pro rata share of the costs of consolidating the operations. Page 1213 Item 2.

At constant exchange rates, sales for the firstsecond quarter 2002 increased 7% from the prior year quarter. FirstSecond quarter 2002 sales for the Pharmaceutical Systems segment were $99.1$104.3 million, a $3.4$9.4 million or 4% increase from prior year reported sales of $95.7$94.9 million. At constant exchange rates, sales increased by 6%10%. International markets continued to grow significantly resulting in 8%13% sales growth at constant exchange rates. Sales in domestic markets increased 4%6% from the prior year quarter. The increase in both the international and domestic markets is primarily led by demand fordue to volume increases in pharmaceutical packaging products, including serum and lyo stoppers. This increase is offset slightly by a declinestoppers in sales of disposable medical devicesdomestic markets and prefilled syringe systems in domesticinternational markets. The Drug Delivery Systems segment had second quarter 2002 revenues of $4.6$3.4 million, a $1.0$2.2 million or 28% increase39% decrease from the prior year quarter. Higher salesThe decline in revenues is attributed to the lack of servicescurrent period licensing revenues in the consumer healthcare researchdrug delivery business unit. Net sales for the first half of 2002 were $211.4 million compared to $199.8 million in the first six months of 2001. At constant exchange rates, sales for the first half of 2002 increased 7%. Excluding exchange rate variances, Pharmaceutical Systems segment sales were 8% higher than the prior year led primarily by increased sales in international markets. Drug Delivery Systems revenues decreased $1.2 million due to lower licensing revenues in the drug delivery business unit ofpartially offset by increased revenues in the clinical services business unit resulted in an increase in sales of $1.3 million from the prior year. After a difficult year in 2001, the recovery of this business unit is due to increased revenues from consumer response marketing studies. Drug delivery business unit sales are $0.3 million below those in the first quarter of 2001. This decrease is primarily the result of lower revenues from contract research services.unit. Gross Profit - ------------ The consolidated gross margin infor the second quarter was 30.3%28.8%, compared with 29.7% in 2001. The increase in margins is primarily the result of improvements29.4% in the second quarter of 2001. Pharmaceutical Systems division. Resultsmargins increased to 29.4% as compared to 28.8% in the prior year quarter. Margins in the North America region improved due to positive sales mix, favorable manufacturing variances,material yields and lower raw materiallab and engineering costs. The favorable results in North America were offset by decreased margins in Europe, primarily in the U.K., where the Company's plastic device facility is experiencing production delays and lower than anticipated demand for one of its principleprincipal products. Production inefficiencies and capacity constraints at other plants also contributed to decreased margins in Europe. Expansions at two European plants are expected to come on-line during the fourth quarter 2002 and in mid 2003 providing additional capacity. Drug Delivery Systems segment gross profit was essentially equal to prior year levels, although margins declined slightlysignificantly from the second quarter of 2001 mainly due to a lower volume of higher margin contract research serviceslicensing revenues in the drug delivery business unit.

The major contributors to the increase include a $1.3 million decrease in pension income, a $1.1 million increase in research and development expenses in the drug delivery business unit and a $0.4 million increase in information systems costs associated with the Company's e-West business systems initiative. For the six-month period ending June 30, 2002, selling, general and administrative expenses increased by $6.1 million (17%). Lower pension income, increased research and development costs in the drug delivery business unit, higher information systems costs and higher incentive compensation costs contributed to the increase. Other (income) expense - ---------------------------- Other (income) expense consists principally of foreign exchange transaction items and miscellaneous equipment sales. Second quarter 2002 other income exceeded the prior year quarter, primarily due to current period foreign exchange transaction gains versus prior period losses in the Company's European subsidiaries. The six-month period for 2002 contains the first quarter $1.7 million non-recurring foreign currency translation gain on net assets denominated in non-peso currencies due to the devaluation of the Argentine peso. Operating Profit (Loss) - ----------------------------- Operating profit for the second quarter of 2002 was $9.8 million compared to $6.7 million in the second quarter 2001. Excluding the non-recurring restructuring charge, operating profit for the second quarter 2001 was $11.2 million. Pharmaceutical Systems operating profit was $21.6 million compared to $17.3 million in 2001. The increase in operating profit is due to increased sales in both the domestic and international markets and a slight shift in sales mix to higher value products, partially offset by production inefficiencies in Europe. Drug Delivery Systems had an operating loss of $3.6 million in the second quarter of 2002 as compared to a loss of $0.9 million in 2001. The absence of licensing revenues and increased research and development spending in the drug delivery unit were the main contributors to the additional operating losses. Corporate and unallocated operating losses were $8.2 million in 2002 compared to $9.7 million in 2001. Excluding the restructuring charge in the second quarter of 2001, corporate and unallocated operating losses for 2001 were $5.2 million. Additional losses are a result of decreased pension income and increased information systems costs. For the six-month period, 2002 operating profit was $22.5 million compared to $17.9 million for the same period of 2001. Excluding the 2002 non-recurring foreign exchange gain and the 2001 restructuring charge, operating profit was $20.8 million in 2002 and $22.4 million in 2001. The same factors that influenced the quarter comparisons affected the six-month comparisons.

The estimated annual rate for 2002 decreased from the rate used in the first quarter due to expected benefits resulting from the utilization of foreign tax credits. The reduction in the annual rate resulted in a tax benefit of $0.2 million in the second quarter of 2002. The 2002 estimated annual tax rate of 33% is equal to 2001's full year 2001 effective tax rate, excluding unusual items was 33%.
