Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan Everett, Washington We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits with fund information of the Tramco, Inc. Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan as of October 1, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits with fund information for the period ended October 1, 1997 and year ended December 31, 1996. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Tramco, Inc. Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan at October 1, 1997 and December 31, 1996, and the changes in its net assets available for benefits for the period ended October 1, 1997 and year ended December 31, 1996, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles. Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of reportable transactions for the period ended October 1, 1997 is presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and is not a required part of the financial statements. The Fund Information in the statements of net assets available for benefits and the statements of changes in net assets available for benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedule and Fund Information have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the financial statements taken as a whole.

Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements October 1, 1997 A. Significant Accounting Policies ------------------------------- The accounting records of the Tramco, Inc. Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") are maintained on the accrual basis. The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. Common stock of The BFGoodrich Company is valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day of the plan year. Investments in common trust funds represent the Plan's proportionate share of the net assets of each fund. The assets held by the common trust funds are valued at market prices obtained from recognized automated pricing services, records of any exchange, standard financial periodicals or any newspaper of general circulation, subject to approval by the respective funds' trustees. In those instances where there are no readily obtainable market values from any of the above named sources, investments are valued on the basis of estimated values obtained from bankers, brokers, dealers or other qualified appraisers. Loans to participants are valued at their outstanding balance, which approximates fair value. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates. B. Plan Merger ----------- In December 1996, the Board of Directors of The BFGoodrich Company approved the merger of the Plan into The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan ("RPSP Plan") and The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plan Savings Plan for Wage Employees ("Wage RPSP Plan"). The Plan was merged into the RPSP Plan and Wage RPSP Plan effective October 1, 1997. The assets of the Plan were transferred to The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan Master Trust on October 1, 1997. No employer contributions were permitted to the Plan during 1997. 5 Tramco, Inc. Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements--Continued C. Description of Plan ------------------- The Plan is a contributory defined contribution plan covering substantially all full-time employees of Tramco, Inc. (the "Company"). Both the Company and participants contribute to the Plan. The participants may voluntarily contribute up to 12% of their annual salary, and up to 80% of their group performance bonus. Company contributions are made solely at the discretion of the Company's management. Company elective contributions for the plan year, if any, consist of a Company profit sharing contribution. Participants can elect to have their entire share of the Company's contribution deposited into their plan account, or they can elect to receive up to 45% of such contribution in cash, to a maximum of $1,000. Company contributions deposited in participant accounts at the discretion of plan participants are treated as employee-elected deferrals for tax purposes. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA). A separate account is established for each participant which is credited with the participant's contributions, the Company's elective contributions and investment income earned on the account balance. Forfeited balances of terminated participants' non-vested accounts are allocated pro-rata, based on compensation, to the accounts of remaining plan participants who are actively employed on December 31 and had completed 1,000 hours of service during the year. Participants are immediately vested with respect to their own contributions plus actual earnings thereon. Participants are vested in Company contributions plus actual earnings at the following percentages based on years of service: 45% immediately, 63% after three years, 82% after four years and 100% after five years. Participants become fully vested upon normal retirement, death or disability. Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employer and employee contributions in 5% increments into any of five investment options: Money Market Fund--invests principally in short-term money market instruments of high investment quality. Fixed Income Fund--invests principally in investment grade bonds of varying durations issued by the United States and state governments and their agencies, and corporations. 6 Tramco, Inc. Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements--Continued C. Description of Plan--Continued ------------------------------ Equity Fund--invests principally in a broad range of common stocks issued by corporations. Balanced Fund--invests principally in a balanced mix of stocks and bonds, determined in accordance with expected returns in the stock and bond markets. BFGoodrich Stock Fund--invests solely in the common stock of The BFGoodrich Company. Participants may change their investment options quarterly. Participants may borrow against their vested account balances a minimum of $1,000 up to a maximum equal to the lesser of $50,000 or 50% of their vested account balance as permitted under the Internal Revenue Code (IRC). Loans are repaid with interest to the participants' accounts. Loan terms range from one to five years or up to 30 years for the purchase of a primary residence. Loan transactions are treated as transfers between the various investment fund and the Loan Fund. Loans are secured by the balance in the participant's vested account balance and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local prevailing rates as determined by the plan administrator. Interest rates range from 6% to 10%. Principal and interest is paid ratably through payroll deductions. The Company has the right under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of a termination of the Plan, the account balances of all affected participants shall become fully vested and nonforfeitable. Since this is an individual account plan, the Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation does not guarantee any benefits. On termination of service, a participant may receive the vested value of his or her account through a single lump sum cash payment or, upon death, disability or retirement, equal monthly annuity payments over an extended period of time. The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information. Participants should refer to the plan document for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions. A copy of this document is available upon request from the Company's human resource department. 7 Tramco, Inc. Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan Notes to Financial Statements--Continued D. Investments ----------- The Plan's investments are held in a trust administered by Mellon Bank (the "Trustee"). During the period ended October 1, 1997 and year ended December 31, 1996, the Plan's investments (including investments bought, sold as well as held during the year) appreciated in fair value by $8,393,587 and $6,329,821, respectively, as follows: Period Ended Year Ended October 1, December 31, 1997 1996 ------------------------------- Common Stock of The BFGoodrich Company $ 14,662 $ 286,513 Common trust funds 8,378,925 6,043,308 ------------------------------- $ 8,393,587 $ 6,329,821 =============================== The fair value of individual investments at December 31, 1996 that represent 5% or more of the Plan's net assets available for benefits are as follows: Mellon Bank, N.A.

F. Income Tax Status ----------------- The Internal Revenue Service has ruled (September 16, 1996) that the Plan qualifies under Sections 401(a) and 401(k) of the IRC and, therefore, contributions and earnings received by the Trust are not subject to tax under present income tax laws. Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to maintain its qualification. The Plan Committee of the Tramco, Inc. Profit-Funded Retirement Savings Plan is not aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred, including plan amendments made subsequent to the ruling date, that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status. G. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest ------------------------------------- Certain legal and accounting fees and certain administrative expenses relating to the maintenance of participant eligibility records are paid by the Company. Other than as described above or pursuant to a certain trust agreement (see Note D), the Plan has had no agreements or transactions with parties-in-interest. 10 Tramco, Inc.
