             Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Unaudited)
                 (In thousands, except share and per share data)

The interim  consolidated  financial  statements for the six-month  period ended
June 30,  2002 should be read in  conjunction  with the  consolidated  financial
statements and notes thereto of West Pharmaceutical Services, Inc.(the Company),
appearing  in the  Company's  2001  Annual  Report on Form  10-K.  The  year-end
condensed  consolidated  balance  sheet data was derived from audited  financial
statements,  but does not include all disclosures required by generally accepted
accounting  principles.  Interim  results  are based on the  Company's  accounts
without audit.

     1. Interim Period  Accounting Policy
     ------------------------------------
     In the opinion of management,  the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance
     Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Shareholders Equity as of June 30, 2002
     and  the  related  unaudited  Consolidated  Statements  of  Income  and the
     unaudited Condensed  Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the three and
     six-month  periods  then  ended  and for the  comparative  periods  in 2001
     contain all  adjustments,  consisting  only of normal  recurring  accruals,
     necessary to present fairly the financial  position as of 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 second quarter
     and six-months 2001 other (income)  expense and decreased  interest expense
     by $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.

     The 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
     estimated  annual tax rate for 2002 is 33%,  compared  with a 36% 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 tax credits.  The reduction in the annual
     rate resulted in a tax benefit of $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, excluding unusual items.

 

                                                                      Page 8

          Corporate  and   unallocated   items  include  a  first  quarter  2002
          non-recurring  foreign  exchange  gain of $1,700 and a second  quarter
          2001 non-recurring restructuring charge of $4,500.

          Compared with December 31, 2001, there were no material changes in the
          amount of assets as of June 30, 2002 for any operating segment.

5.        Common stock issued at June 30, 2002 was 17,165,141  shares,  of which
          2,703,034  shares were held in treasury.  Dividends of $.19 per common
          share were paid in the second  quarter of 2002 and a dividend  of $.19
          per share payable August 7, 2002 to holders of record on July 24, 2002
          was declared on June 18, 2002.

6.        The Company has accrued the estimated cost of environmental compliance
          expenses related to soil or ground water  contamination at current and
          former manufacturing  facilities.  The ultimate cost to be incurred by
          the  Company  and  the  timing  of  such  payments   cannot  be  fully
          determined.  However,  based on consultants' estimates of the costs of
          remediation in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements, the
          Company believes the accrued  liability of $1,400 at June 30, 2002 is
          sufficient to cover the future costs of these remedial actions,  which
          will be carried out over the next several  years.  The Company has not
          anticipated any possible recovery from insurance or other sources.

7.        The  following  table  details the activity  related to the  Company's
          restructuring reserve, which consists of accrued severance and benefit
          costs:

          Balance, December 31,2001            $ 2,200

          Payments                              (1,000)
                                                 -----
          Balance, June 30, 2002               $ 1,200
                                                 -----
                                                 -----

          The remaining  restructuring  accrual balance  relates  principally to
          restructuring programs announced in 2001 and 2000.  Terminations under
          these  programs  totaled 215 employees as of June 30, 2002.  The final
          severance actions under these plans commenced in the second quarter of
          2002.  The  Company  expects  to  complete  all  remaining   payments,
          principally consisting of pre-retirement medical benefits,  within the
          next two years.

8.        In November  2001,  the Company  sold its contract  manufacturing  and
          packaging  business  located  in  Lakewood,  NJ.  The  results of this
          business  have  been  reflected  as  discontinued  operations  in  the
          accompanying consolidated financial statements.

          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,  which
          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 2002 as compared to the $300 and $600,  net of
          tax,  recorded  in the prior year  three and  six-month  periods.  The
          goodwill  balance  as of June 30,  2002 was  $35,600  as  compared  to
          $32,600 as of December 31, 2001.  The increase of $3,000 is solely the
          result of foreign currency translation adjustments.

                                                                        Page 11

          Goodwill by  reportable  segment as of June 30, 2002 and  December 31,
          2001 was as follows:

                                            6/30/02      12/31/01

                                             35,600        32,600

          The cost and  respective  accumulated  amortization  for the Company's
          intangible   assets,   mainly   patents,   was   $11,500  and  $3,700,
          respectively,   as  of  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 three and six-month  periods
          ended 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 and six-month periods ended June 30, 2001.

10.       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.  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 $3,200
          as of 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 13


Item 2.
Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
----------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations for the Three Months and Six Months ended
---------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 2002 versus June 30, 2001
-----------------------------------

Net Sales
---------
Net sales for the second quarter of 2002 were $107.7 million  compared to $100.5
million in the second quarter of 2001. At constant exchange rates, sales for the
second quarter 2002 increased 7% from the prior year quarter.

Second  quarter 2002 sales for the  Pharmaceutical  Systems  segment were $104.3
million,  a $9.4  million  increase  from  prior  year  reported  sales of $94.9
million.  At constant  exchange  rates,  sales  increased by 10%.  International
markets  continued  to grow  significantly  resulting  in 13%  sales  growth  at
constant  exchange rates.  Sales in domestic markets increased 6% from the prior
year  quarter.  The  increase  in both  international  and  domestic  markets is
primarily  due  to  volume  increases  in  pharmaceutical   packaging  products,
including  serum and lyo  stoppers in domestic  markets  and  prefilled  syringe
systems in international markets.

The Drug  Delivery  Systems  segment had second  quarter  2002  revenues of $3.4
million, a $2.2 million or 39% decrease from the prior year quarter. The decline
in revenues is attributed to the lack of current  period  licensing  revenues in
the drug 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 partially  offset by increased  revenues in the clinical
services business unit.

Gross Profit
------------
The  consolidated  gross margin for the second quarter was 28.8%,  compared with
29.4% in the second quarter of 2001. Pharmaceutical Systems margins 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 material yields and
lower lab 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  principal   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 margins declined significantly from the
second  quarter  of 2001  mainly  due to lower  licensing  revenues  in the drug
delivery business unit.

The consolidated gross profit margin for the six-month period was 29.5% compared
with 29.6% in the same period of 2001.  The same  factors  that  influenced  the
quarter comparisons affected the six-month comparisons.



                                                                        Page 14

Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
----------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations for the Three Months and Six Months ended
---------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 2002 versus June 30, 2001, continued
---------------------------------------------

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses
--------------------------------------------
Selling,  general and  administrative  expenses  increased $3.8 million (21%) as
compared with the second quarter of 2001. 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.


                                                                        Page 15


Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
----------------------------------------------------------------
Results of Operations for the Three Months and Six Months ended
---------------------------------------------------------------
June 30, 2002 versus June 30, 2001, continued
---------------------------------------------

Interest expense, net
--------------------------
Net  interest  costs  declined by $0.6  million  (18%) as compared to the second
quarter of 2001.  The decrease is due to lower  interest  rates as well as lower
debt levels in the current year. For the six-month period,  net interest expense
declined by $1.5  million.  This  decrease is mainly due to the decrease in 2002
debt  levels.  Debt  decreased  as a result  of the  Company's  formation  of an
international  financing structure.  This structure was formed to facilitate the
use of existing cash balances to pay down outstanding debt.

Provision  for income taxes
--------------------------
The 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 estimated
annual tax rate for 2002 is 33% compared with a 36%  estimated  rate used in the
second  quarter of 2001.  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  effective  tax  rate,
excluding unusual items.

Equity in net income of affiliated companies
--------------------------------------------
Earnings  in net income of  affiliates  decreased  slightly  from the prior year
quarter.  Earnings  from Daikyo  Seiko,  Ltd.,  a Japanese  company in which the
Company has a 25% ownership interest,  were down for the six-month period due to
increased  depreciation  and other costs  connected with a  manufacturing  plant
upgrade completed in 2001.  Results from the Company's  Mexican  affiliates were
consistent  with those in the second quarter and six-month  periods of 2001. The
Company  expects  to take a third  quarter  charge  of $0.07  per  share for the
Company's  pro  rata  share of the  costs  to  consolidate  two  rubber  molding
operations in Mexico.

Discontinued Operations
-----------------------------
In November  2001,  the Company sold its contract  manufacturing  and  packaging
business  located in  Lakewood,  NJ.  The  results  of this  business  have been
reflected as discontinued operations in the accompanying  consolidated financial
statements.

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,  which  became due and payable upon the
sale.  These  debentures were repaid in the first quarter of 2002 resulting in a
$0.4  million,  net of tax,  charge  which was  included  in loss on disposal of
discontinued operations.


                                                                        Page 16

June 30, 2002 versus June 30, 2001, continued

Net Income
--------------
Net income for the second  quarter of 2002 was $5.3 million,  or $.37 per share,
compared to $3.1 million, or $.22 per share, in the second quarter 2001.  Second
quarter 2001 results included a non-recurring  restructuring  charge of $.20 per
share and earnings from discontinued  operations of $0.02, net of tax. Excluding
these  non-recurring  items,  second quarter 2001 earnings were $0.40 per share.
Average  common  shares  outstanding  were 14.4  million in the  second  quarter
compared to 14.3 million in the second  quarter of 2001.  The increase in shares
outstanding is the result of employee stock option exercises.

For the six-month period, 2002 net income was $11.4 million, or $0.79 per share.
2002 results include a non-recurring  foreign  exchange gain of $0.05 and a loss
on discontinued operations of $0.03. Net income for the first six months of 2001
was $8.5  million,  or $0.60 per share.  2001  results  include a  restructuring
charge of $0.20 and earnings from  discontinued  operations of $0.03.  Excluding
non-recurring  items,  earnings  per share were $0.77 for both the 2002 and 2001
six-month periods. Average common shares outstanding for the first six months of
2002 were 14.4 million, compared to 14.3 million in 2001.

FINANCIAL CONDITION
-------------------
Working capital at June 30, 2002 was $70.0 million  compared to $83.2 million at
December  31,  2001.  The working  capital  ratio at June 30, 2002 was 1.8 to 1.
Accounts  receivable  increased  significantly,  reflecting the increase in June
2002  sales  levels  versus  December  2001.  Days sales  outstanding  increased
slightly  from 2001 due to  increased  sales in Europe where  payment  terms are
typically longer.  Cash flows from operations for the six-month period increased
from the prior year due to  improved  earnings  as well as to the receipt of tax
refunds related to 2001.

For the six-month  period,  capital  spending was $20.7  million,  primarily for
facility  expansions  at  two  European  plants,  new  equipment  purchases  and
equipment  upgrades used in the production of new products and costs  associated
with an enterprise resource planning initiative. Full year 2002 capital spending
is projected to be approximately $43.7 million.  The Company paid cash dividends
totaling $5.5 million ($0.38 per share) during the first six months of 2002.

Debt as a  percentage  of total  invested  capital  at June 30,  2002 was  48.9%
compared to 52.2% at December  31, 2001.  Debt levels  decreased by $7.7 million
due to the  formation  of an  international  financing  structure  in the  first
quarter of 2002  designed to utilize  existing  cash  balances to pay down debt.
Total  shareholder's  equity was $193.8  million at June 30,  2002  compared  to
$176.8  million at December 31,  2001.  The increase in equity is due to current
year net income,  positive currency  translation  adjustments and employee stock
option exercises.

The Company believes its financial condition and current  capitalization provide
sufficient flexibility to meet future cash flow requirements.


                                                                        Page 17

June 30, 2002 versus June 30, 2001, continued
---------------------------------------------

Accounting Changes
------------------
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
2002 as compared to the $0.3 million and $0.6 million,  net of tax,  recorded in
the prior year quarter and six-month periods.

Market Risk
-----------
The  Company is  exposed to various  market  risk  factors  such as  fluctuating
interest rates and foreign  currency rate  fluctuations.  These risk factors can
impact results of operations, cash flows and financial position. These risks are
managed  periodically with the use of derivative  financial  instruments such as
interest rate swaps and forward exchange  contracts.  In accordance with Company
policy, derivative financial instruments are not used for speculation or trading
purposes.
