INTRODUCTION
W. R. Grace & Co., through its subsidiaries, is primarily engaged in the
specialty chemical business on a worldwide basis and in specialized health care
activities. In its chemical operations, Grace develops, manufactures and
markets specialty chemicals and materials and related systems. In health care,
Grace is primarily engaged in supplying kidney dialysis and home infusion and
respiratory therapy services and products.
As used in this Report, the term "Company" refers to W. R. Grace & Co., a
New York corporation, and the term "Grace" refers to the Company and/or one or
more of its subsidiaries. Grace's principal executive offices are located at
One Town Center Road, Boca Raton, Florida 33486-1010, and its telephone number
is 407/362-2000. At year-end 1993, Grace had approximately 34,000 full-time
employees worldwide in its continuing operations (approximately 7,000 in
discontinued operations).
Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements for the three years in the period
ended December 31, 1993 ("Consolidated Financial Statements") and certain other
financial information included in the Company's 1993 Annual Report to
Shareholders are set forth in the Financial Supplement to this Report and
incorporated by reference herein.
STRATEGIC RESTRUCTURING
In 1991, Grace announced a new corporate strategy with the principal
objective of enhancing shareholder value. The major components of the strategy
are (a) focusing on core businesses to accelerate growth; (b) upgrading
financial performance, principally by selling or monetizing non-core businesses,
lowering the ratio of debt to total capital and reducing overhead; and (c)
integrating corporate and operating unit functions through global product line
management.
The core businesses referred to above are packaging, health care, catalysts
and other silica-based products, construction products, water treatment and
process chemicals, and container products. As part of its new corporate
strategy, Grace has reorganized the management of these core businesses on the
basis of global product lines. Grace has also organized task forces that are
developing and implementing "best practices" relating to financial planning,
information systems, human resources, logistics and other management functions;
has implemented a process to better
allocate capital among its businesses; and has retired or refinanced most of its
higher-cost debt.
DIVESTMENTS AND OTHER DISPOSITIONS. Pursuant to its new strategy, Grace
has divested or monetized a number of non-core businesses and has announced
plans to divest others. In 1991, Grace sold its specialty textiles business;
its automotive chemicals and sound deadening components businesses; investments
in two pharmaceutical businesses; its Trinidadian fertilizer operations; its
animal feed businesses; its polyurethane foam sealant manufacturing business;
and its Japanese microwave products business. In 1992, Grace sold its book,
video and software distribution businesses and its organic chemicals business
and related assets. In December 1992, Grace also completed a transaction to
monetize a portion of its cocoa and chocolate business by selling a 21% limited
partnership interest in Grace Cocoa Associates, L.P. ("Grace Cocoa"), which owns
this business and other assets, resulting in Grace's receipt of approximately
$300 million in cash.
During the first half of 1993, Grace sold substantially all of its oil and
gas and energy services businesses for net cash proceeds of $386 million, and it
is in the process of liquidating the remaining miscellaneous assets and
liabilities of those businesses. Grace also sold a number of other non-core
businesses and corporate investments in 1993, including a 50% interest in a
Japanese chemical business (for approximately $31.4 million), a food hygiene
services business (for approximately $11.2 million) and minority investments in
Grace-Sierra Horticultural Products Company and Canonie Environmental Services
Corp. (for proceeds totaling $41.3 million). In January 1994, Grace received
$42.8 million in exchange for the securities of The Restaurant Enterprises
Group, Inc. held by Grace.
In the fourth quarter of 1992, Grace classified Colowyo Coal Company, a
coal mining subsidiary, as a discontinued operation. In the second quarter of
1993, after evaluating the expected contribution of its remaining non-core
businesses to its future performance and growth, Grace reclassified as
discontinued operations its cocoa and battery separators businesses; certain
engineered materials businesses (principally printing products, electromagnetic
radiation control and material technology businesses); and substantially all of
its other non-core businesses. Grace is actively pursuing the sale of these
businesses.
STRATEGIC ACQUISITIONS. As part of its strategy to focus on core business
growth, Grace has made, and expects to continue to make, strategic acquisitions
directly related to its core businesses. In 1992, Grace acquired the North
American food service packaging business of Du Pont Canada for approximately $20
million. In 1993, Grace acquired (a) the water treatment and related operations
of Aquatec Quimica S.A. of Brazil, which has significant operations throughout
South America, as well as operations in Portugal and the
- 2 -
United States; and (b) the Katalistics fluid cracking catalyst additive business
previously owned by a joint venture between Union Carbide Corporation and
Allied-Signal Inc.
In the 1991-92 period, Grace acquired the Renacare unit of Lloyds Chemists
plc, the leading United Kingdom producer of dialysis concentrate and a
distributor of associated products, as well as additional dialysis centers
located primarily in the United States, for approximately $54 million in the
aggregate. In 1993, Grace acquired Home Intensive Care, Inc., a national
provider of alternate site infusion therapy and dialysis health care services,
for approximately $129 million in cash (inclusive of expenses); Virginia-based
American Homecare Equipment, Inc., a provider of home infusion and respiratory
therapy services, for approximately 116,000 shares of the Company's common stock
and other consideration; and Riggers Medizintechnik GmbH, a German manufacturer
and distributor of dialysis products. Additionally, during 1993, Grace acquired
regional providers of home infusion therapy services and home support nursing
services, as well as 26 additional dialysis centers located primarily in the
United States, for a total of approximately $92 million. In March 1994, Grace
announced that it had agreed to acquire Home Nutritional Services, Inc., a
national provider of home infusion therapy services, for approximately $120
million in cash (inclusive of expenses and debt to be assumed); completion of
the transaction is anticipated during the second quarter of 1994. Grace is
considering additional acquisitions in the health care industry, with a view to
continued development of its international health care business.
See Notes 3, 6, 9 and 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and
"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations" in the Financial Supplement for additional information.
INDUSTRY SEGMENTS
Information concerning the sales and revenues, pretax operating profit and
identifiable assets of Grace's continuing operations by industry segment and
geographic area for 1993, 1992 and 1991 is contained in Note 17 to Grace's
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Supplement.
SPECIALTY CHEMICALS
Grace's specialty chemical operations consist of the development,
manufacture and sale of products and systems in five core market groups (see
"Strategic Restructuring" above). These products and systems typically serve
highly specialized markets and represent an important component (but a
relatively small portion of the cost) of the end products in which they are
used. Accordingly, competition is generally based primarily on technological
capability, customer service and product quality. Grace's specialty
- 3-
chemical products and systems are marketed primarily through direct sales
organizations.
The following is a description of the products and services provided by
each of Grace's core specialty chemical businesses.
PACKAGING. Grace's packaging business ("Grace Packaging") provides
high-performance total packaging systems on a worldwide basis, competing
principally by providing superior quality products and services for specialized
customer needs. The principal products and services provided by Grace Packaging
are (a) flexible packaging systems (including material, equipment and services)
for a broad range of perishable foods such as fresh meat, prepared foods, baked
goods, poultry, produce, cheese, and smoked and processed meat products; (b)
shrink films for packaging a variety of consumer and industrial products; (c)
foam trays for supermarkets and poultry and other food processors; and (d) rigid
plastic containers for dairy and other food and non-food products.
Grace Packaging competes through three product groups: flexible packaging
(marketed extensively under the Cryovac-R- registered trademark), foam trays,
and rigid plastic containers.
Cryovac-R- flexible packaging products include shrink bags, shrink films,
laminated films, medical films, and equipment. The Cryovac packaging products
group developed and introduced flexible plastic vacuum shrink packaging in the
late 1940s, contributing to expanded food distribution and marketing by
providing better protection against decay-inducing bacteria and moisture loss.
The market for Cryovac products has subsequently shifted from industrial food
applications toward the retail food market, and Cryovac packaging technology has
also been introduced in non-food applications such as flexible packaging for
display items and electronic and medical products.
The flexible packaging products group emphasizes five core competencies to
differentiate itself from competitors: (1) proprietary film processing
technology; (2) resin technology, permitting the production of materials suited
to specific customer needs; (3) packaging and food science expertise, providing
better understanding of the interaction between packaging materials and packaged
products; (4) complete systems support capability, to provide a single source of
supply for customer needs; and (5) strategically located production, warehousing
and distribution networks.
Foam trays are produced by the Formpac business group of Grace Packaging,
primarily for sale to supermarkets and poultry and other food processors in the
eastern United States. Formpac's proprietary technology has also been
successfully utilized in certain packaging applications outside the United
States, and Formpac is exploring opportunities to expand its business outside
North America.
- 4 -
Grace Packaging's Omicron business group produces rigid plastic packaging
applications, primarily for dairy products in Australia. These products
utilize proprietary thermoforming technology, involving the controlled thinning
and shaping of hot plastic sheets to increase strength and rigidity while
minimizing weight.
Grace Packaging's sales and revenues were $1.3 billion in 1993 and $1.2
billion in each of 1991 and 1992. Approximately 50% of Grace Packaging's 1993
sales and revenues were generated in North America, 30% in Europe, 10% in Asia
Pacific, and the remainder in Latin America. At year-end 1993, Grace Packaging
employed approximately 9,000 people in 23 production facilities (9 in North
America, 6 in Europe, 5 in Latin America and 3 in Asia Pacific) and 77 sales
offices, serving more than 18,000 customers.
A majority of the raw materials used by Grace Packaging are resins that are
generally available at stable prices. In most cases, multiple sources of raw
materials exist, with at least one source being located in each regional market.
The primary external influence affecting the packaging business is the general
economy; seasonality is not significant to Grace Packaging's business.
CATALYST AND OTHER SILICA-BASED PRODUCTS. This core business ("Grace
Davison") is composed of three principal product groups: fluid cracking
catalysts, polyolefin catalysts, and silica and zeolite adsorbents. These
products involve silica, alumina and zeolite technology and the design and
manufacture of products to meet customer specifications; they are sold to major
oil refiners, plastics and chemical manufacturers, and consumer products
companies.
Fluid cracking catalysts are used by refiners to upgrade oil to more
valuable transportation fuels such as gasoline and jet and diesel fuel. Oil
refining is a highly specialized discipline, demanding that products be tailored
to meet local variations in raw materials and operational needs. Competition is
based on technology, product performance, customer service and price.
Polyolefin catalysts and catalyst supports are essential components used in
manufacturing nearly half of all high density and linear low density produced
polyethylene resins, which are used in products such as packaging film and
plastic pipe. The catalyst business is technology-intensive and focused on
providing products specifically formulated to meet end-user applications.
Manufacturers generally compete on a worldwide basis, and competition has
intensified recently due to excess capacity in the catalyst industry, with
resultant price sensitivity.
Silica and zeolite adsorbents are used in plastics, dentifrices, paints,
insulated glass and other products, and in the refining of edible oils. Silicas
are used in coatings as flatting agents, in plastics to improve handling, in
toothpastes as thickeners and
- 5 -
cleaners, in food to carry flavors and prevent caking, and in the purification
of edible oils.
Grace Davison's sales and revenues were $572 million in 1993, $519 million
in 1992, and $470 million in 1991; approximately 59% of Grace Davison's 1993
sales and revenues were generated in North America, 34% in Europe, 6% in Asia
Pacific and 1% in Latin America. At year-end 1993, Grace Davison employed
approximately 2,600 persons worldwide in nine facilities (six in the United
States and one each in Canada, Germany and Brazil).
Most raw materials used in the manufacture of Grace Davison products are
available from multiple sources and, in some instances, are produced or supplied
by Grace. Because of the diverse applications of products utilizing Grace
Davison technology and the geographic areas in which such products are used,
seasonality does not have a significant effect on Grace Davison's businesses.
CONSTRUCTION PRODUCTS. Grace Construction Products ("GCP") is a leading
supplier of specialty materials and systems to the world-wide construction
industry. GCP products and systems strengthen concrete, control corrosion,
prevent water damage and protect structural steel against collapse due to fire.
These products include concrete admixtures, cement processing additives, and
fireproofing and waterproofing materials. In North America, GCP also
manufactures and distributes reinforced fiberglass building components, masonry
block additives and products, and vermiculite products used in construction and
other industrial applications. GCP's products are sold to a broad customer base,
including cement manufacturers, ready mixed and precast concrete producers,
specialty subcontractors and applicators, masonry block manufacturers, building
materials distributors and other industrial manufacturers.
GCP is a principal supplier of the products it manufactures, competing
with several large global suppliers and smaller regional competitors.
Competition is based largely on pricing, product performance, proprietary
technology and technical support and service.
GCP's 1993 sales and revenues totaled $333 million (70% in North America,
17% in Europe, 13% in Asia Pacific and less than 1% in Latin America). Sales
and revenues for 1992 and 1991 were $333 million and $345 million, respectively.
At year-end 1993, GCP employed approximately 2,000 persons at approximately 59
production facilities (33 in North America, 9 in Southeast Asia, 7 in Australia,
5 in Europe, 4 in Latin America and 1 in Japan) and 73 sales offices worldwide.
Supplies and raw materials used for manufacturing GCP products are
primarily commodities obtained from multiple sources, including commodity
chemical producers, petroleum companies, other construction industry suppliers
and paper manufacturers. In most instanc-
- 6 -
ES, there are at least two alternative suppliers for the raw materials utilized
by GCP. The construction business is seasonal, based on weather conditions,
and cyclical, in response to economic conditions and construction demand. To
increase profitability and minimize the impact of cyclical downturns in regional
economies, GCP strives to introduce new and improved products, has implemented a
lower cost structure in North America and Europe and is emphasizing expansion in
European and Southeast Asian markets.
WATER TREATMENT. Grace's water treatment and process chemicals business
("Grace Dearborn") consists of the water treatment and paper industry services
business lines, which market the following products and services: (a) chemical
treatments and systems to prevent corrosion, scale and microbiological growth in
industrial process waters, heating and cooling applications, and industrial
wastewater applications for clarification, sludge de-watering, odor control and
water recycling; (b) paper industry process chemicals, support equipment and
related specialist and consulting services; (c) hydrocarbon processing
chemicals, related support equipment and services to protect and optimize
processing system performance; (d) chemical treatments, support equipment and
services for sugar processing, including processing sugar into alcohol as a
gasoline substitute; (e) chemical treatments to protect industrial canned food
cooking and sterilizing equipment; and (f) paint detackification products and
services to remove paint sludge from water wash paint spray systems.
Grace Dearborn sales and revenues for 1993 totaled $330 million (42% in
North America, 40% in Europe, 16% in Latin America and 2% in Asia Pacific).
Sales and revenues for 1992 and 1991 were $302 million and $292 million,
respectively. At year-end 1993, Grace Dearborn employed approximately 2,800
persons at 21 plants (7 in Latin America, 6 in North America and 4 in each of
Europe and Asia Pacific) and 107 sales offices.
Raw materials used in the Grace Dearborn business lines are readily
available from multiple sources, generally at stable prices. The paper industry
services business is affected by the cyclicality of the global paper market.
The water treatment services business responds to (but is not adversely affected
by) seasonal fluctuations, concentrating on boiler treatment in winter and
cooling system treatment in summer. The effects of seasonality are further
diminished by the geographic diversity of the markets in which Grace Dearborn
competes.
CONTAINER PRODUCTS. Grace's container business ("Grace Container")
consists of three product lines: container sealants, closures and coatings.
The principal products marketed by these product lines include sealing compounds
and related application equipment for food and beverage cans and other rigid
containers; gasketing materials to the metal crown, aluminum roll-on and plastic
closure segments of the glass/closure packaging markets; adhe-
- 7 -
sive lacquers and associated protective and decorative coatings for plastic and
metal closures; protective and decorative coatings and lacquers for rigid food
and beverage containers; and lubricants used primarily in two-piece can
manufacturing.
Grace Container sales and revenues (excluding those of Grace Specialty
Polymers, discussed below) were $238 million, $253 million and $248 million in
1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. Its products are marketed internationally,
with 37% of sales and revenues in Europe, 27% in North America, 25% in Asia
Pacific and 11% in Latin America. At year-end 1993, Grace Container employed
approximately 1,830 persons at 25 plants and 39 sales offices worldwide.
Competition is based on providing high-quality customer service, as well as on
price and product quality and reliability. Raw materials are generally
available from multiple sources at stable prices. Although demand for container
packaging and sealant products tends to increase during the warmest months of
the year, the impact of such seasonality on Grace Container is offset almost
entirely by the geographic diversity of the markets in which it competes.
Recently integrated with Grace Container is Grace Specialty Polymers, which
develops formulated engineered polymers for printed circuit board and component
assembly in the electronics, electrical, automotive and defense industries.
These include surface mount and conductive adhesives, capacitor coatings, light
emitting diode encapsulants and conformal coatings. The integration of these
product lines reflects the reliance of both businesses on polymer technology as
an integral feature of the products they manufacture.
HEALTH CARE
Grace's health care business ("Grace Health Care") is primarily engaged in
supplying kidney dialysis and home infusion and respiratory therapy services,
and in the manufacture and sale of products used to provide dialysis and other
medical services.
Grace Health Care provides kidney dialysis and related services for
outpatients with chronic renal failure. At December 31, 1993, Grace Health Care
operated 501 centers providing dialysis and related services (471 in the United
States and Puerto Rico, 23 in Portugal, 4 in Spain, 2 in the Czech Republic and
1 in Argentina); these centers, substantially all of which are leased, average
ap- proximately 5,600 square feet in size. Grace Health Care also provides
inpatient acute dialysis services under contracts with hospitals in the United
States (385 at December 31, 1993) and furnishes dialysis equipment and supplies
to patients who elect home treatment. At December 31, 1993, Grace Health Care
was treating approximately 37,000 patients in the U.S. and 3,000 patients in
other
- 8 -
countries. Revenues from kidney dialysis services were $1,012 million in 1993,
$860 million in 1992 and $720 million in 1991.
Additionally, Grace Health Care manufactures disposable bloodlines,
dialysis solutions and artificial kidneys (dialyzers), for use in its dialysis
centers and for sale to unaffiliated dialysis facilities and home patients;
distributes dialysis supplies and equipment and other medical products and
supplies manufactured by others; and provides laboratory services (including
hepatitis testing) to dialysis patients. More than two-thirds of the sales of
dialysis and other medical products supplies and equipment reflect sales to
patients not directly treated, or facilities not operated, by Grace Health Care.
Grace Health Care also provides infusion and respiratory therapy services
and other medical equipment and supplies to patients for home use through a
network of 97 locations (96 leased and 1 owned). Infusion therapy includes
intravenous delivery of an expanding range of medications and nutritional
preparations, such as chemotherapy, total parenteral nutrition, antibiotic
therapy and drugs for pain management. Respiratory therapy includes delivery of
oxygen and aerosolized drugs and the use of ventilators. In addition, Grace
Health Care provides home nursing support services through nine branch
locations.
Grace Health Care's business is dependent on the continuation of Medicare
and other third-party insurance coverage for dialysis and home care services and
products. At such time as Medicare becomes a patient's primary payor for
dialysis (generally, 3 months following commencement of treatment or, in the
case of patients covered by employer-sponsored health insurance, 21 months after
commencement of treatment) and/or homecare products and services, Medicare
currently reimburses suppliers of such services and products for approximately
80% of established fees or reasonable charges; the remaining 20% is paid by the
patient and/or his non-Medicare insurance carrier.
Because in most cases the prices of dialysis services and products in the
U.S. are directly or indirectly regulated by Medicare, competition in the
industry is based primarily on quality and accessibility of service. In
addition, some states limit competition under laws that restrict the number of
dialysis facilities within a geographic area based on need, as determined by
state agencies. Competition in the home care business is also based on quality
of service as well as price, and, where state laws do not impose limits on
competition, there are no significant barriers to entering this business. Cost
efficiency, therefore, is also a key element of competition in this market.
Based upon Grace's knowledge and understanding of the health care industry in
general and of other providers of kidney dialysis and infusion therapy, as well
as information obtained from publicly available sources, Grace Health Care
believes that it is among the most cost-efficient of
- 9 -
the companies in its field and that it is the leading United States supplier of
dialysis services and products and a leading United States provider of infusion
therapy.
Except as noted in the following paragraph, Grace Health Care believes
there are adequate sources of supply for the raw materials and products utilized
in its health care services and medical products businesses. At year-end 1993,
Grace Health Care employed a total of approximately 13,600 persons full-time at
its facilities worldwide. Grace Health Care's businesses generally are not
seasonal or cyclical in nature. It is unclear at this time whether and to what
extent any of the currently proposed reforms in U.S. health care law will affect
Grace Health Care's operations.
National Medical Care, Inc. ("NMC") is Grace's principal health care
subsidiary. In 1993, the United States Food and Drug Administration ("FDA")
issued import alerts with respect to (a) hemodialysis bloodlines manufactured at
NMC's plant located in Reynosa, Mexico and (b) hemodialyzers manufactured in
NMC's Dublin, Ireland facility. Products subject to FDA import alerts may not
enter the United States until the FDA approves the quality assurance systems of
the facility at which such products are manufactured. In January 1994, NMC
entered into a consent decree providing for the resumption of importation of
bloodlines and hemodialyzers following certification by NMC that the relevant
facility complies with FDA regulations and successful completion of an FDA
inspection to verify such compliance. In accordance with the consent decree,
NMC certified compliance to the FDA with respect to the Reynosa, Mexico facility
in January 1994 and the FDA lifted the bloodline import alert in March 1994,
following a thorough reinspection by the FDA and a commitment by NMC to finish
certain studies by May 1994 and, in the interim, to perform additional product
testing. Certification of compliance at the Dublin, Ireland facility is
anticipated in the second quarter of 1994. The consent decree also requires NMC
to certify and maintain compliance with applicable FDA device manufacturing laws
and regulations at all of its United States manufacturing facilities. NMC has
conducted a full review of such facilities and upgraded its quality assurance
systems as necessary, and all certifications required with respect to such
facilities have been filed. No fines or penalties were imposed on NMC as a
result of any of the FDA's actions relating to the import alerts or in
connection with the consent decree. Neither the import alerts nor previously
reported recalls of certain NMC products have had, nor are they expected to
have, a material effect on Grace's results of operations or financial position.
HEALTH CARE INVESTMENT. Grace has a 47% common equity interest in a
company that serves hospitals and other health care institutions by recruiting
nurses and other trained health care personnel and placing them on temporary
assignments throughout the United States. Grace also owns preferred stock of
the company and op-
- 10 -
tions, exercisable commencing in 1994, to acquire the balance of such
company's common equity.
See "Strategic Restructuring" above for information concerning 1993 and
early 1994 transactions involving Grace's health care business.
OTHER OPERATIONS
THERMAL AND EMISSION CONTROL SYSTEMS. In 1993, Grace combined its web
processing equipment business and its air emission control catalysts and systems
business to form a new product line in thermal and emission control systems,
named "Grace TEC Systems". The principal products currently marketed by this
product line are (a) air flotation dryers and auxiliary web processing equipment
for the printing, coating and converting industries, and (b) air emission
control catalysts and systems to control volatile organic compounds, carbon
monoxide and nitrogen oxides emissions from power generation, industrial and
automotive sources.
DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS. In the fourth quarter of 1992, Grace classified
Colowyo Coal Company ("Colowyo") as a discontinued operation. Colowyo, a
partnership wholly owned by Grace, operates the largest surface coal mine in
Colorado under federal and state leases covering proven and/or probable surface
reserves of approximately 195 million tons of low-sulfur coal.
In the second quarter of 1993, Grace classified as discontinued operations
its remaining non-core businesses, including Grace Cocoa, an international
producer and supplier of high-quality intermediate cocoa and chocolate products
to the bakery, confectionery, dairy and beverage industries; Grace's battery
separators business; and certain engineered materials businesses, principally
printing products, electromagnetic radiation control and material technology
businesses.
Grace is actively pursuing the divestment of these discontinued operations
and those referred to under "Strategic Restructuring" above. See Notes 3 and 6
to Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Supplement and
"Strategic Restructuring" for additional information.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
Grace engages in active research and development programs directed toward
the development of new products and processes and the improvement of, and
development of new uses for, existing products and processes. Research is
carried out by divisional laboratories in the United States, Europe and Japan
and by the Corporate Research Division, which has facilities in Columbia,
- 11 -
Maryland; Lexington, Massachusetts and Atsugi, Japan. The Research Division's
activities focus on Grace's core product lines and include specialty polymers;
biomedical devices; catalysis; construction materials; photopolymers; specialty
packaging; and process engineering, principally involving the development of
technologies to manufacture chemical specialties and biomedical products. As
part of Grace's commitment to focus resources on core businesses, corporate
research programs for the core product lines are being increased, while funding
in support of non-core businesses and discontinued operations is being
eliminated. In addition, product line and corporate research programs are being
integrated and concentrated on key projects.
Research and development expenses relating to continuing operations
amounted to $135 million in 1993, $130 million in 1992 and $128.1 million in
1991 (including expenses incurred in funding external research projects). The
amount of research and development expenses relating to government- and
customer-sponsored projects (as opposed to projects sponsored by Grace) is not
material.
ENVIRONMENTAL, HEALTH AND SAFETY MATTERS
In constructing and operating its facilities, Grace incurs capital and
operating expenditures relating to the protection of the environment, as well as
costs to remediate previously contaminated properties. Costs incurred to
operate and maintain environmental facilities and dispose of hazardous and
non-hazardous wastes with respect to continuing operations were $45 million in
1993, $56 million in 1992 and $38 million in 1991, and are estimated to be $50
million and $54 million in 1994 and 1995, respectively. Grace's capital
expenditures for environmental control facilities relating to continuing
operations were approximately $20 million, $18 million and $17 million in 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively, and are estimated to be $19 million and $23 million
during 1994 and 1995, respectively. Costs incurred to remediate previously
contaminated sites were $44 million, $35 million and $18 million in 1993, 1992
and 1991, respectively, and are estimated to be $44 million and $35 million in
1994 and 1995, respectively. Such expenditures have not had, and are not
expected to have, a material effect on Grace's other capital expenditures or on
its earnings or competitive position. See Note 11 to Grace's Consolidated
Financial Statements and "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
Operations and Financial Condition" in the Financial Supplement.
Grace has established an Environmental, Health and Safety ("EHS") policy
and related programs that include specialized safety training for employees,
monitoring of the workplace environment, and training and guidance for employees
with respect to EHS regulatory compliance. These programs are supported by a
central EHS department organized in 1993. This department also audits oper-
- 12 -
ating facilities and manages Grace's environmental remediation activities.
The Responsible Care program of the Chemical Manufacturers Association, in
which Grace's United States chemical operations have participated, has been
extended to Grace operations worldwide under the name "Commitment to Care". The
goal of this program is to promote best management practices in the areas of
product stewardship, employee health and safety, community awareness and
emergency response, process safety, distribution practices and pollution
prevention. Grace's EHS auditing program has also been expanded to include all
facilities worldwide; this program involves the onsite inspection of facilities
for compliance with applicable laws, as well as Grace's policies, standards and
guidelines.
See Item 3, "Legal Proceedings", in this Report, and "Management's
Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and Financial Condition" in the
Financial Supplement, for information concerning environmental proceedings to
which Grace is a party.
MATERIALS AND ENERGY
The availability and prices of the raw materials and fuels used by Grace
are subject to worldwide market conditions and governmental policies. On the
basis of existing arrangements, Grace does not anticipate any major disruptions
of its business in 1994 as a result of shortages of raw materials or energy.
Should shortages occur, their effect on Grace's operations would depend upon
their nature, duration and severity and consequently cannot be determined at
this time. However, arrangements have been made, and will continue to be made,
for long-term commitments for many of Grace's raw materials and fuel
requirements from primary sources of supply.
ITEM 2. PROPERTIES.
Grace operates chemical, manufacturing and other types of plants and
facilities (including office and other service facilities) throughout the world.
Grace considers its major operating properties to be in good operating condition
and suitable for their current use. Although Grace believes that the productive
capacity of most of its plants and other facilities is adequate for current
operations and foreseeable growth, it conducts ongoing, long-range forecasting
of its capital requirements to assure that additional capacity will be available
when and as needed (see information regarding Grace's capital expenditures on
page F-28 of the Financial Supplement). Accordingly, Grace does not anticipate
that its operations or income will be materially affected by the absence of
available capacity.
- 13 -
Additional information regarding Grace's properties is set forth in Item 1
above, in Schedules V and VI on pages F-35 and F-36 of the Financial Supplement
and in Notes 1, 8 and 11 to Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Financial Supplement.
ITEM 3. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.
ASBESTOS LITIGATION. Grace is a defendant in lawsuits relating to
previously sold asbestos-containing products and anticipates that it will be
named as a defendant in additional asbestos-related lawsuits in the future. At
year-end 1993, Grace was a defendant in approximately 38,100 asbestos-related
lawsuits representing approximately 56,700 claims (as compared to approximately
30,900 lawsuits and 53,000 claims at year-end 1992). 92 of the lawsuits pending
at year-end 1993 involved claims for property damage allegedly caused by the use
of asbestos-containing materials in the construction of buildings. The
plaintiffs in these lawsuits generally seek, among other things, to have the
defendants absorb the cost of removing, containing or repairing the
asbestos-containing materials in the affected buildings. The remaining
asbestos-related lawsuits involve claims for personal injury. In most of
Grace's asbestos-related lawsuits, it is one of many defendants.
Through year-end 1993, 120 asbestos property damage cases had been
dismissed with respect to Grace without payment of any damages or settlement
amounts; judgments were entered in favor of Grace in twelve cases; in six cases
(four of which are on appeal), Grace was held liable for a total of $68.3
million; and 131 property damage suits and claims had been settled by Grace for
a total of $300.0 million. Grace has recorded a receivable for the insurance
pro- ceeds it expects to receive in connection with these adverse verdicts and
settlements, as well as defense costs initially paid by Grace (see "Insurance
Litigation" below and Note 2 to Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Financial Supplement).
Included in the asbestos property damage lawsuits pending against Grace and
others at year-end 1993 are the following class actions: (1) a Pennsylvania
state court action (PRINCE GEORGE CENTER, INC. V. U.S. GYPSUM COMPANY, ET AL.,
Court of Common Pleas of Philadelphia County) covering all commercial buildings
in the United States leased in whole or in part to the United States government
on or after May 30, 1986; (2) an action, conditionally certified by the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in September 1993 and pending in
the United States District Court for the District of South Carolina, covering
all public and private colleges and universities in the United States whose
buildings contain asbestos materials (CENTRAL WESLEYAN COLLEGE, ET AL. V. W. R.
GRACE, ET AL.); (3) an action (IN RE: ASBESTOS SCHOOL LITIGATION), brought in
1983 in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania, on behalf of all public and private elementary and secondary
schools in the United States
- 14 -
that contain asbestos materials, which action has been scheduled for trial in
late 1994 on a limited number of issues; and (4) a purported class action
(ANDERSON MEMORIAL HOSPITAL, ET AL. V. W. R. GRACE & CO., ET AL.), filed in 1992
in the Court of Common Pleas for Hampton County, South Carolina, on behalf of
all entities that own, in whole or in part, any building containing asbestos
materials manufactured by Grace or one of the other named defendants, other than
buildings subject to the class action lawsuits described above and any building
owned by the federal or any state government.
The remaining asbestos lawsuits pending at year-end 1993 involved claims
for personal injury. Through year-end 1993, approximately 7,000 personal injury
lawsuits involving 17,900 claims had been dismissed with respect to Grace
without payment of any damages or settlement amounts (primarily on the basis
that Grace products were not involved), and approximately 11,300 such suits
involving 13,400 claims had been settled for a total of $52.2 million (see
"Insurance Litigation" below). In January 1993, in EDWARD M. CARLOUGH, ET AL.
V. AMCHEM PRODUCTS, INC., ET AL., the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Pennsylvania conditionally certified a class of all future
asbestos personal injury claimants, including individuals who have been
occupationally exposed to asbestos-containing materials but who do not presently
allege asbestos-related injury. Although Grace is not among the defendants
named in the class action complaint, dissemination of the required class notice
may generate additional litigation against Grace.
In 1991, the Judicial Panel on Multi-District Litigation consolidated in
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania, for
pre-trial purposes, all asbestos personal injury cases pending in the federal
courts (including approximately 7,000 cases against Grace). To date, no action
has been taken by the court handling the consolidated cases that would indicate
whether the consolidation will affect Grace's cost of disposing of these cases
or its defense costs.
Grace's ultimate exposure in respect of its asbestos-related lawsuits and
claims will depend on the extent to which its insurance will cover damages for
which it may be held liable, amounts paid in settlement and litigation costs.
While (a) Grace's insurance carriers have not acknowledged or have denied the
applicability of their insurance coverage to Grace's asbestos property damage
lawsuits and claims (except as discussed below under "Insurance Litigation"),
(b) Grace is currently in litigation with certain carriers concerning the
applicability and extent of its insurance coverage and (c) the resolution of
certain issues, primarily relating to the availability of coverage for specific
years, will require further judicial proceedings, Grace believes that its
insurance will cover a substantial portion of any damages, settlement amounts
and litigation costs related to its asbestos litigation and
- 15 -
claims. Consequently, Grace believes that the resolution of its asbestos
litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial
position or results of operations. See "Insurance Litigation" below and Note 2
to Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Supplement for
additional information.
ENVIRONMENTAL AND OTHER PROCEEDINGS. Grace (together with other companies)
has been designated a "potentially responsible party" ("PRP") by the United
States Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") with respect to absorbing the
costs of investigating and remediating pollution at various sites. Grace has
not incurred any material liability with respect to sites as to which such
proceedings have been concluded by agreement with the EPA.
At year-end 1993, proceedings were pending with respect to approximately 35
sites as to which Grace has been designated a PRP. Although federal law
provides that all PRPs may be held jointly and severally liable for the costs of
investigation and remediation of a site, after consideration of the liabilities
of other PRPs with respect to these sites and their respective levels of
financial responsibility, Grace believes that the amount recorded in its
Consolidated Financial Statements for environmental remediation is adequate to
cover its exposure with respect to these sites (see Note 11 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements in the Financial Supplement for further information). In
addition, Grace is presently involved in litigation with its insurance carriers
seeking to hold them responsible for certain amounts for which Grace may be held
liable with respect to these sites. The outcome of such litigation, as well as
the amount of any recovery that Grace may receive in connection therewith, is
presently uncertain.
Grace is also involved in other litigation, including certain environmental
proceedings brought by federal, state and/or local government agencies and
private parties. No such litigation is expected to result in significant
monetary or other sanctions or in other material liabilities. However, as a
voluntary participant in the EPA Toxic Substances Control Act Compliance Audit
Program, Grace agreed to undertake a corporate-wide audit of compliance with
Section 8 of such Act and to pay a stipulated civil penalty for each study or
report that should have been, but was not, submitted to the EPA as required
under such Section. Although final review of the audit is not complete, Grace
believes it will be required to pay the EPA penalties aggregating from $250,000
to $400,000 for information discovered in the course of the audit. In addition,
Grace has voluntarily reported to the EPA violations of certain notification and
related requirements under such Act, and it is anticipated that penalties will
be assessed against Grace in connection therewith; the amount of such penalties
cannot be determined at this time. For additional information, see Note 2 to
Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Supplement.
- 16 -
In addition, in April 1993, the United States Department of Justice filed
suit against Grace in the United States District Court for the District of
Montana, Great Falls Division, alleging certain violations of the Clean Air Act
in connection with the demolition of a mill in Libby, Montana during late 1991
and early 1992. The complaint seeks damages of up to $25,000 per day for each
of seven alleged violations and injunctive relief against future violations, and
the Department of Justice previously informed Grace that it might seek penalties
of up to $3.3 million in connection therewith. However, subject to certain
conditions, Grace and the Department of Justice have agreed in principle to
settle this matter upon the payment by Grace of penalties substantially lower
than the amount initially contemplated by the Department of Justice.
Further, Hatco Corporation ("Hatco"), which purchased the assets of a Grace
chemical business in 1978, previously instituted a lawsuit against Grace in the
United States District Court for the District of New Jersey seeking recovery of
cleanup costs for waste allegedly generated at a New Jersey facility during the
period of Grace's ownership. Grace has also filed a lawsuit against its
insurance carriers seeking indemnity against any damages assessed against Grace
in the underlying lawsuit, as well as defense costs. In decisions rendered
during 1993, the Court ruled that Grace is responsible for a substantial portion
of Hatco's costs. In an earlier decision, the Court had resolved, in a manner
favorable to Grace, certain legal issues regarding Grace's right to insurance
coverage; however, the ultimate liability of Grace's insurance carriers will be
determined at trial. Remedial costs, and Grace's share of such costs, will be
determined once ongoing site investigations are completed and a remediation plan
is approved by the State of New Jersey, which is not expected to occur before
the latter part of 1994. As a result of the above factors, neither the amount
that Grace may be required to pay Hatco, nor the amount that Hatco may have to
absorb, nor the amount of Grace's recoveries from its insurance carriers can be
reliably estimated at this time. However, based on its investigation to date,
Grace believes that the ultimate resolution of this matter will not have a
material effect on its financial condition.
INSURANCE LITIGATION. Grace is involved in litigation with certain
insurance carriers with respect to asbestos-related claims and environmental
liabilities. Its asbestos-related insurance actions consist of two cases styled
MARYLAND CASUALTY CO. V. W. R. GRACE & CO., both pending in the United States
District Court for the Southern District of New York; STATE OF MISSISSIPPI V.
THE FLINTKOTE CO., ET AL., pending in the Circuit Court of Jackson County,
Mississippi; DAYTON INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT V. UNITED STATES MINERAL
PRODUCTS COMPANY, ET AL., pending in the United States District Court for the
Eastern District of Texas; INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 197, ET AL. V. W. R.
GRACE & CO. AND ACCIDENT & CASUALTY INSURANCE CO., ET AL., pending in the First
- 17 -
Judicial District in Minnesota; THE COUNTY OF HENNEPIN V. CENTRAL NATIONAL
INSURANCE COMPANY, ET AL., pending in the Fourth Judicial District in Minnesota;
ECOLAB, INC. V. CENTRAL NATIONAL INSURANCE CO., pending in the District Court
for Ramsey County, Minnesota; AMERICAN EMPLOYERS' INSURANCE CO., AMERICAN
REINSURANCE CO., AND COMMERCIAL UNION INSURANCE CO., AND UNIGARD SECURITY
INSURANCE CO. V. W. R. GRACE & CO., CONTINENTAL CASUALTY CO., AND MARYLAND
CASUALTY CO., which is pending in the New York state courts; and W. R. GRACE &
CO.-CONN. V. ADMIRAL INSURANCE CO., ET AL., pending in the Superior Court of
California for the County of Los Angeles. Grace's insurance actions relating to
environmental liabilities consist of MARYLAND CASUALTY CO. V. W. R. GRACE & CO.,
pending in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New
York; and HATCO CORP. V. W. R. GRACE & CO.-CONN., pending in the United States
District Court for the District of New Jersey. The relief sought by Grace in
these actions would provide insurance sufficient to cover Grace's estimated
exposure with respect to the actions' subject matter, including damages for
amounts previously expended by Grace to defend claims and satisfy judgments and
settlements (see Note 2 to Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements in the
Financial Supplement). The factual bases underlying these actions are the
nature of the underlying asbestos-related and environmental claims, the language
of the insurance policies sold by the carriers to Grace and the drafting history
of those policies.
In March 1991 (in one of the above asbestos-related cases involving
Maryland Casualty Co.), the United States District Court for the Southern
District of New York held that Grace's primary insurance carriers are obligated
to defend and indemnify Grace for damages (other than certain punitive damages),
settlement amounts and litigation costs with respect to asbestos-related
property damage and personal injury claims; in so holding, the Court determined
that coverage for property damage is triggered by the "discovery of damage"
during the period covered by the relevant policy. On September 1, 1993, the
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit reversed the District
Court's ruling as to a "discovery of damage" trigger for such claims and,
instead, adopted a trigger based on the date of installation of
asbestos-containing materials. In January 1994, the United States Court of
Appeals for the Second Circuit granted Grace's petition for a rehearing
concerning the September 1, 1993 decision. The Second Circuit has requested
that the parties rebrief the issue of the trigger of coverage, which rebriefing
is scheduled to be concluded in April 1994. It is not known whether oral
argument concerning this issue will be scheduled in connection with the
rehearing of this case.
In December 1991, the Mississippi Court referred to above also held that
Grace's primary and excess insurance carriers are obligated to defend and
indemnify Grace, determining that, for purposes of insurance coverage, damage to
buildings from asbestos-containing products occurs at the time such products are
put in place and that the damage continues as long as the building contains the
products
- 18 -
(referred to as a "continuous trigger"). In November 1992, the Minnesota court
referred to above reached a similar decision in interpreting a Grace insurance
policy.
In 1993, Grace received $74.6 million under settlements with insurance
carriers, in reimbursement for amounts previously expended by Grace in
connection with asbestos-related litigation. These settlements also provide for
future reimbursements of $114.0 million. In early 1994, Grace settled with two
additional insurance carriers and received approximately $88.8 million under
such settlements. Prior to 1993, Grace received payments totalling $97.7
million from insurance carriers ($30.9 million prior to 1991; $35.3 million in
1991 and $31.5 million in 1992), the majority of which represented the aggregate
remaining obligations owed to Grace by those carriers for primary-level
insurance coverage written for the period June 30, 1962 through June 30, 1987.
As a result of the payments received in 1990 and 1991, insurance litigations
were dismissed as to the primary-level product liability insurance coverage
previously sold by the relevant insurers to Grace; however, litigations continue
as to certain other primary- and excess-level carriers.
Grace continues to be involved in litigation with certain of its insurance
carriers, including an affiliated group of carriers, that had agreed to a
settlement and had made a series of payments thereunder during 1993. The group
of carriers subsequently notified Grace that it would not honor the agreement
(which had not been executed) due to the September 1, 1993 decision of the
United States Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit referred to above. Grace
believes that the settlement agreement is binding and initiated action to
enforce the settlement agreement. In January 1994, the United States District
Court for the Eastern District of Texas held that the agreement is enforceable.
The affiliated group of carriers is expected to appeal this ruling to the United
States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
See Note 2 to Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements, appearing in the
Financial Supplement for additional information.
FUMED SILICA PLANT LITIGATION. In January 1993, Grace initiated legal
action in the Belgian courts against the Flemish government to recover losses
resulting from the closing of Grace's fumed silica plant in Puurs, Belgium.
(See Note 8 to Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial
Supplement for additional information). Grace is seeking damages in excess of
four billion Belgian francs (approximately $120 million at current exchange
rates), plus interest and loss of profits. There are also pending two separate
arbitrations, one involving the engineering company that was responsible for the
design and construction of the fumed silica plant, and the other involving a
claim by the company from which the plant had agreed to purchase hydrogen under
a long-term
- 19 -
contract. The outcomes of these proceedings may affect the action
filed against the Flemish government.

PART II
ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT'S COMMON EQUITY AND RELATED
STOCKHOLDER MATTERS.
Except as provided below, the information called for by this Item appears
in the Financial Supplement under the heading "Financial Summary" opposite the
caption "Other Statistics - Common shareholders of record" (page F-29); under
the heading "Quarterly Summary" opposite the captions "Dividends declared per
common share" and "Market price of common stock" (page F-25); and in Note 13 to
Grace's Consolidated Financial Statements (page F-19).
Each share of the Company's Common Stock has an attendant Common Stock
Purchase Right ("Right"). The Rights are not and will not become exercisable
unless and until certain events occur (as described below). Until such events
occur, the Rights will automatically trade with the Common Stock and separate
certificates for the Rights will not be distributed. The Rights will become
exercisable on the tenth business day (or such later business day as may be
fixed by the Company's Board of Directors) after a person or group (a) becomes
an "interested shareholder", as defined in Section 912 of the New York Business
Corporation Law (generally, a beneficial owner of 20% or more of the outstanding
voting stock), or (b) commences a tender offer or exchange offer that would
result in such person or group becoming an interested shareholder. The Rights
will not have any voting power at any time.
When the Rights become exercisable, each Right will initially entitle the
holder to buy from the Company one share of Common Stock for $87.50, subject to
adjustment in certain cases ("purchase price"). If, at any time after the
Rights become exercisable, (a) the Company is involved in a merger or other
business combination in which (i) the Company is not the surviving corporation
or (ii) any of the Common Stock is changed or converted into or exchanged for
stock or other securities of any other person or cash or other property, or (b)
50% of the Company's assets, cash flow or earning power is sold, each Right will
entitle the holder to buy a number of shares of common stock of the acquiring
company having a market value equal to twice the purchase price. Alternatively,
each right not owned by a person who becomes an interested shareholder would
become exercisable for Common Stock (or other consideration) having a market
value equal to twice the purchase price.
The Rights may be redeemed by the Company at $.025 per Right (payable in
cash, Common Stock or any other form of consideration deemed appropriate by the
Board) at any time through the tenth business day (or such later business day as
may be fixed by the Board) after a public announcement that a person or group
has become an interested shareholder; this right of redemption may be reinstated
if all interested shareholders reduce their holdings to
- 21 -
10% or less of the outstanding Common Stock. The Rights will expire in January
1997.
The Rights may be amended either before or after they become exercisable.
However, the basic economic terms of the Rights (such as the purchase and
redemption prices and the expiration date) cannot be changed.

MANAGEMENT'S RESPONSIBILITY FOR FINANCIAL REPORTING
Management is responsible for the preparation, as well as the integrity and
objectivity, of the consolidated financial statements and other financial
information included in this report. Such financial information has been
prepared in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and
accordingly includes certain amounts that represent management's best estimates
and judgments.
For many years, management has maintained internal control systems to assist
it in fulfilling its responsibility for financial reporting, including careful
selection of personnel, segregation of duties, formal business, accounting and
reporting policies and procedures and an extensive internal audit function.
While no system can ensure elimination of all errors and irregularities, Grace's
systems, which are reviewed and modified in response to changing conditions,
have been designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded,
policies and procedures are followed and transactions are properly executed and
reported. The concept of reasonable assurance is based on the recognition that
there are limitations in all systems and that the cost of such systems should
not exceed the benefits to be derived.
The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, which is comprised of
directors who are neither officers nor employees of nor consultants to Grace,
meets regularly with Grace's senior financial personnel, internal auditors and
independent accountants to review audit plans and results as well as the actions
taken by management in discharging its responsibilities for accounting,
financial reporting and internal control systems. The Audit Committee reports
its findings and also recommends the selection of independent accountants to the
Board of Directors. Grace's management, internal auditors and independent
accountants have direct and confidential access to the Audit Committee at all
times.
The independent accountants are engaged to conduct audits of and render a
report on the consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards. These standards include a review of the systems of
internal controls and tests of transactions to the extent considered necessary
by the independent accountants for purposes of supporting their opinion as set
forth in their report.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
PRICE WATERHOUSE February 8, 1994
1177 Avenue of the Americas
New York, NY 10036
TO THE SHAREHOLDERS AND BOARD OF DIRECTORS OF W. R. GRACE & CO.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements appearing on pages F-4
through F-24 of this report present fairly, in all material respects, the
financial position of W. R. Grace & Co. and subsidiaries at December 31, 1993
and 1992, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of
the three years in the period ended December 31, 1993, in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management; our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our
audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards which 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, assessing the
accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and
evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our
audits provide a reasonable basis for the opinion expressed above.
As discussed in Notes 5 and 16, the Company adopted new accounting standards
for income taxes and postretirement benefits in 1992.

1. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL REPORTING POLICIES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION The consolidated financial statements include the
accounts of W. R. Grace & Co. and all majority-owned companies (collectively
Grace). Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
Investments in affiliated companies (20% - 50% owned) are accounted for under
the equity method.
RECLASSIFICATIONS Certain amounts in the prior years' consolidated financial
statements have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation
and as required with respect to discontinued operations.
CASH EQUIVALENTS Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid instruments with
maturities of three months or less when purchased. The recorded amount
approximates fair value because of the short maturities of these investments.
INVENTORIES Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Due to the
diversified nature of Grace's operations, several methods of determining cost
are used, including first-in/first-out, average and, for substantially all U.S.
chemical inventories, last-in/first-out. Market value for raw and packaging
materials is based on current cost and, for other inventory classifications, on
net realizable value.
PROPERTIES AND EQUIPMENT Properties and equipment are stated at the lower of
cost or net realizable value. Depreciation of properties and equipment is
generally computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful
lives of the assets. Interest is capitalized in connection with major project
expenditures and amortized, generally on a straight-line basis, over the
estimated useful lives of the assets.
Fully depreciated assets are retained in properties and equipment and related
accumulated depreciation accounts until they are removed from service. In the
case of disposals, assets and related depreciation are removed from the accounts
and the net amount, less any proceeds from disposal, is charged or credited to
income.
GOODWILL AND OTHER AMORTIZATION Goodwill arises from certain purchase
transactions and is amortized using the straight-line method over appropriate
periods not exceeding 40 years. Patient relationships (see Note 7) are amortized
using the straight-line method over 17 years.
INCOME TAXES Effective January 1, 1992, Grace adopted Statement of Financial
Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes." The
Statement requires the use of an asset and liability approach for the accounting
and financial reporting of income taxes.
FOREIGN CURRENCY TRANSLATION Foreign currency transactions and financial
statements (except for those relating to countries with highly inflationary
economies) are translated into U.S. dollars at current exchange rates, except
that revenues, costs and expenses are translated at average exchange rates
during each reporting period. The financial statements of subsidiaries located
in countries with highly inflationary economies must be remeasured as if the
functional currency were the U.S. dollar. The remeasurement creates translation
adjustments that are reflected in net income. The allocation for income taxes
included in the translation adjustments account in shareholders' equity was not
significant.
EARNINGS PER SHARE Primary earnings per share are computed on the basis of the
weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Fully diluted earnings per
share assume the conversion of convertible debentures (with an increase in net
income for the after-tax interest savings) and the issuance of common stock
equivalents related to stock options.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS Grace enters into interest rate swaps, options and caps,
and foreign currency contracts to manage exposure to fluctuations in interest
and foreign currency exchange rates.
The differentials paid or received on interest rate agreements are accrued
and recognized as adjustments to interest expense; gains and losses realized
upon settlement of these agreements are deferred and amortized to interest
expense over a period relevant to the agreement if the underlying hedged
instrument remains outstanding, or immediately if the underlying hedged
instrument is settled. Premiums paid on caps are amortized to interest expense
over the term of the cap.
Gains and losses on foreign currency contracts offset gains and losses
resulting from the underlying transactions. Gains and losses on contracts that
hedge specific foreign currency commitments are deferred and recognized in net
income in the period in which the transaction is consummated. Gains and losses
on contracts that hedge net investments in foreign subsidiaries are recognized
in the cumulative translation adjustments account in shareholders' equity.

2. ASBESTOS AND RELATED INSURANCE LITIGATION
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace is a defendant in lawsuits relating to previously sold asbestos-containing
products and anticipates that it will be named as a defendant in additional
asbestos- related lawsuits in the future. At December 31, 1993, Grace was a
defendant in approximately 38,100 asbestos- related lawsuits representing
approximately 56,700 claims (versus approximately 30,900 lawsuits and 53,000
claims at December 31, 1992). Of the lawsuits pending at December 31, 1993, 92
(105 at December 31, 1992) involved claims for property damage allegedly caused
by the use of asbestos-containing materials in the construction of buildings.
The plaintiffs in these lawsuits generally seek, among other things, to have the
defendants absorb the cost of removing, containing or repairing the asbestos-
containing materials in the affected buildings. The remaining asbestos-related
lawsuits involved claims for personal injury. In most of these lawsuits, Grace
is one of many defendants.
PROPERTY DAMAGE LITIGATION
Through December 31, 1993, 120 asbestos property damage cases had been dismissed
with respect to Grace without payment of any damages or settlement amounts;
judgments were entered in favor of Grace in twelve cases; in six cases (four of
which are on appeal), Grace was held liable for a total of $68.3; and 131
property damage suits and claims had been settled by Grace for a total of
$300.0. Grace has recorded a receivable for the insurance proceeds it expects to
receive in connection with these adverse verdicts and settlements, as well as
for defense costs initially paid by Grace. (See "Insurance Litigation" below.)
On September 1, 1993, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued a
decision regarding the availability of insurance coverage with respect to
Grace's asbestos property damage litigation and claims. In January 1994, the
Court granted Grace's petition for a re- hearing concerning such decision.
Included in the asbestos property damage lawsuits pending against Grace and
others at year-end 1993 are the following purported class actions: (1) a
Pennsylvania state court action, certified in 1992, covering all commercial
buildings in the U.S. leased in whole or in part to the U. S. government on or
after May 30, 1986; (2) an action, certified by the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Fourth Circuit in September 1993 and pending in a U.S. District Court in
South Carolina, covering all public and private colleges and universities in the
U. S. whose buildings contain asbestos materials; (3) an action, brought in
1983 in a U.S. District Court in Pennsylvania, on behalf of all public and
private elementary and secondary schools in the U.S. that contain asbestos
materials, which has been scheduled for trial in late 1994 on a limited number
of issues; and (4) an action filed in a South Carolina state court in 1992 on
behalf of all entities that own, in whole or in part, any building containing
asbestos materials manufactured by Grace or one of the other named defendants,
other than buildings subject to the class action lawsuits described above, as
well as any building owned by the federal or any state government.
PERSONAL INJURY LITIGATION
Through December 31, 1993, approximately 7,000 asbestos personal injury lawsuits
involving 17,900 claims had been dismissed with respect to Grace without payment
of any damages or settlement amounts (primarily on the basis that Grace products
were not involved), and approximately 11,300 such suits involving 13,400 claims
had been settled for a total of $52.2.
In January 1993, the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of
Pennsylvania conditionally certified a class of all future asbestos personal
injury claimants, including individuals who have been occupationally exposed to
asbestos-containing materials but who do not presently allege asbestos-related
injury. Although Grace is not among the defendants named in the class action
complaint, dissemination of the required class notice may generate additional
litigation against Grace.
RANGE OF POTENTIAL EXPOSURE
Although personal injury cases are generally similar to each other (differing
only in the type of asbestos-related illness allegedly suffered by the
plaintiff), each property damage case is unique in that building type, size and
utilization and difficulty of abatement, if necessary, vary from structure to
structure; thus, the amounts involved in prior dispositions of property damage
cases are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that may be required to
dispose of such cases in the future. In addition, in property damage cases,
information regarding product identification on a building-by-building basis
(I.E., whether or not Grace products were actually used in the construction of
the building), the age, type, size and use of the building, the jurisdictional
history of prior cases and the court in which the case is pending provide the
only meaningful guidance as to potential future costs. However, much of this
information is not yet available in a majority of the property damage cases
currently pending against Grace. Accordingly, estimates of future costs to
dispose of these cases are, in most instances, based on incomplete information,
as well as assumptions that may not be accurate. Further, the filing of the
class actions and uncertainty with respect to the class certification in the
national elementary and secondary schools class action (see "Property Damage
Litigation" above) make it more difficult to reliably predict the costs Grace
will incur in disposing of asbestos-related litigation.
F-9
Subject to the preceding qualifications (which Grace believes to be
significant), Grace has attempted to determine its future costs to dispose of
this litigation and has concluded that it is probable that the personal injury
and property damage cases pending at December 31, 1993 can be disposed of for a
total amount estimated at $813.7 (inclusive of legal fees and expenses), of
which Grace has recorded $713.7 as a noncurrent liability and $100.0 as a
current liability. This compares to the estimated liability (current and
noncurrent) of $848.0 at September 30, 1993, reflecting payments made in the
fourth quarter of 1993. In addition, Grace has recorded a receivable of $962.3
for the insurance proceeds it expects to receive in reimbursement for prior
payments and estimated future payments to dispose of asbestos- related
litigation. This compares to the receivable of $644.0 at September 30, 1993,
which reflected a $300.0 after-tax provision recorded in the third quarter of
1993 related to the Second Circuit Court of Appeals decision, while the fourth
quarter 1993 activity included the partial reversal of such provision, as well
as insurance proceeds received during the quarter. (See "Insurance Litigation"
below.)
Grace has also settled coverage disputes with certain insurance carriers.
These settlements provide for future payments of $114.0 and have been recorded
as notes receivable. Further, Grace continues to seek to recover the balance of
the payments it has made with respect to asbestos-related litigation from its
excess insurers and from insurance companies that sold insurance policies to
predecessor companies of Grace, as discussed below.
INSURANCE LITIGATION
Grace's ultimate exposure in respect of its asbestos- related lawsuits and
claims will depend on the extent to which its insurance will cover damages for
which it may be held liable, amounts paid in settlement and litigation costs. In
March 1991, the U. S. District Court for the Southern District of New York held
that Grace's primary insurance carriers are obligated to defend and indemnify
Grace with respect to damages (other than certain punitive damages), settlement
amounts and litigation costs in connection with both personal injury and
property damage asbestos claims. The court held that coverage for asbestos
property damage is triggered by the "discovery of damage" during the policy
period.
On September 1, 1993, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit issued
a decision regarding the availability of insurance coverage with respect to
Grace's asbestos litigation and claims. The Court of Appeals reversed the
District Court's ruling as to a "discovery of damage" trigger for asbestos
property damage claims and instead adopted a trigger based on the date of
installation of asbestos-containing materials. As a result of this decision,
Grace recorded an after-tax provision of $300.0 during the third quarter of 1993
to reflect the reduction in insurance coverage for its asbestos property damage
lawsuits and claims. In January 1994, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second
Circuit granted Grace's petition for a re-hearing concerning the September 1,
1993 decision. In view of the Court's action, during the fourth quarter of 1993,
Grace reversed $200.0 of the after-tax provision recorded in the third quarter.
In December 1991, the Circuit Court for Jackson County, Mississippi held that
Grace's primary and excess insurance carriers are obligated to defend and
indemnify Grace, holding that for the purposes of insurance coverage, damage to
buildings from asbestos-containing products occurs at the time such products are
put in place and that the damage continues as long as the building contains the
products (a "continuous trigger"). A similar decision was rendered by a
Minnesota state court in November 1992.
In 1993, Grace received $74.6 under settlements with insurance carriers, in
reimbursement for monies previously expended by Grace in connection with
asbestos-related litigation ; as mentioned above, these settlements also provide
for future reimbursements of $114.0. In early 1994, Grace settled with two
additional insurance carriers and received approximately $88.8 under such
settlements. Prior to 1993, Grace received payments totalling $97.7 from
insurance carriers, the majority of which represented the aggregate remaining
obligation owed to Grace by those carriers for primary level insurance coverage
written by them for the period June 30, 1962 through June 30, 1987.
Grace continues to be involved in litigation with certain of its insurance
carriers, including an affiliated group of carriers that had agreed to a
settlement and had made a series of payments under that agreement in 1993. The
group of carriers subsequently notified Grace that it would no longer honor the
agreement (which had not been executed) due to the September 1, 1993 U.S. Court
of Appeals decision discussed above. Grace believes that the settlement
agreement (which involves approximately $200.0 of the asbestos-related
receivable of $962.3 at December 31, 1993) is binding and initiated action to
enforce the settlement agreement. In January 1994, the U.S. District Court for
the Eastern District of Texas held the agreement to be enforceable. The
affiliated group of carriers is expected to appeal this ruling to the U.S. Court
of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.
For the period October 20, 1962 through June 30, 1985--the most relevant
period for asbestos-related litigation--Grace purchased, on an annual basis, as
much as eight levels of excess insurance coverage. In general, excess policies
provide that when claims paid exhaust coverage at one level, the insured may
seek payment from the carriers at the next higher level. For that 23-year
period, the first six levels of excess insurance available from insurance
companies that Grace believes to be solvent (based primarily upon reports from a
leading independent insurance rating service) provide coverage in excess of $1.4
billion. If, however, the amount available in the first six levels should prove
to be insufficient, Grace has substantial additional coverage available in its
two remaining levels of excess coverage. In Grace's opinion, it is probable that
recoveries from its excess insurance coverage will be available to satisfy
Grace's asbestos- related exposure after giving effect to the provision recorded
in 1993. Consequently, Grace believes that the resolution of its
asbestos-related litigation will not have a material effect on its consolidated
financial position or results of operations.

3. ACQUISITIONS, DIVESTMENTS AND STRATEGIC RESTRUCTURING
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ACQUISITIONS
Businesses acquired in 1993 consisted primarily of health care and water
treatment businesses. Grace acquired Home Intensive Care, Inc. in the second
quarter of 1993 for approximately $129.0 in cash (inclusive of related costs)
and acquired other health care businesses during 1993 for an aggregate of
approximately $115.0 in cash and $3.8 in common stock. Grace also acquired Latin
America's largest water treatment business in the first quarter of 1993 for
approximately $57.6 in cash.
In July 1992, Grace completed the purchase of the common stock of Grace
Energy Corporation (Grace Energy) not owned by Grace for $77.3 in cash. See Note
6 for a discussion of 1993 divestment activity with respect to Grace Energy's
businesses. During 1992, Grace continued to expand its health care operations
through the acquisition of several businesses and facilities for consideration
totalling $44.2 in cash.
In 1991, Grace purchased the 25% minority interest in Grace Cocoa for $74.6
in cash and purchased an initial 47% common equity interest in a health care
service company. In addition, Grace Energy purchased its former partner's 50%
interest in Colowyo Coal Company (Colowyo) for $34.2 in cash plus related debt
repayments.
All of the above transactions were accounted for as purchases, and the
results of operations of the acquired businesses are included in the
consolidated financial statements from the respective dates of acquisition.
DIVESTMENTS
In 1993, Grace completed the sale of substantially all of the oil and gas
operations of Grace Energy, along with certain corporate investments; see Note 6
for further information. Other non-core businesses divested during 1993 included
a 50% interest in a Japanese chemical business and a food industry hygiene
services business for approximately $31.4 and $11.2, respectively.
In December 1992, Grace sold its organic chemicals business and related net
assets for approximately $100.0 in cash plus non-voting preferred stock of the
buyer. In March 1992, Grace sold its book, video and software distribution
business (Grace Distribution), which was classified as a discontinued operation
in the fourth quarter of 1991; see Note 6 for further information.
STRATEGIC RESTRUCTURING
The 1991 net gain on strategic restructuring of $6.1 (see Note 4) includes gains
of $108.8, inclusive of cumulative translation gains of $37.9, on the
disposition of certain non-core businesses and investments. Offsetting these
gains were expenses related to the relocation of Grace's corporate headquarters
from New York to Florida, provisions for litigation and certain environmental
and plant closure expenses and a reserve for the costs of restructuring
activities.

$21.9 relating to the settlement of prior years' Federal income tax returns.
F-11
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
5. INCOME TAXES
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Effective January 1, 1992, Grace adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income
Taxes," which applies an asset and liability approach requiring the recognition
of deferred tax assets and liabilities with respect to the expected future tax
consequences of events that have been recorded in the consolidated financial
statements and tax returns. If it is more likely than not that all or a portion
of a deferred tax asset will not be realized, a valuation allowance must be
recognized. As permitted under SFAS No. 109, Grace elected not to restate prior
periods' consolidated financial statements to give effect to SFAS No. 109.
Excluding the deferred tax benefit recognized upon the adoption of SFAS No. 106,
"Employers' Accounting for Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions," the
effect of the adoption of SFAS No. 109 on Grace's 1992 financial statements was
not material.
In the third quarter of 1993, Grace recorded the effects of the Omnibus Budget
Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA), which was enacted in August 1993. Among
other things, OBRA increased the highest U.S. Federal corporate tax rate to 35%,
effective January 1, 1993. However, neither this increase in the U.S. Federal
corporate tax rate (from 34%), nor the other provisions of OBRA, had a material
effect on Grace's results of operations.

F-12
In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 109 effective January 1, 1992,
Grace recognized a valuation allowance of $88.4, which was adjusted in 1992 and
1993. The valuation allowance relates to the uncertainty as to the realization
of certain deferred tax assets, including U.S. tax credit carryforwards, state
and local net operating loss carryforwards and net deferred tax assets, and net
operating loss carryforwards in certain foreign jurisdictions. Based upon
anticipated future results, Grace has concluded, after consideration of the
valuation allowance, that it is more likely than not that the net deferred tax
asset balance will be realized.
The items giving rise to deferred tax assets and liabilities at December 31,
1991 included depreciation, research and development costs that have been
capitalized for tax purposes, and other items the tax treatment of which does
not conform to their treatment for financial statement purposes.
At December 31, 1993, there are $59.9 of tax credit carryforwards with
expiration periods through 1998 and $25.0 of tax credit carryforwards with no
expiration period. Additionally, there are state and local and foreign net
operating loss carryforwards with a tax effect of $47.1 and various expiration
periods.
The U.S. Federal corporate tax rate reconciles to the effective tax rate for
continuing operations as follows:

U.S. and foreign taxes have not been provided on approximately $444.0 of
undistributed earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries, as such earnings are
being retained indefinitely by such subsidiaries for reinvestment. The
distribution of these earnings would result in additional foreign withholding
taxes of approximately $26.3 and additional U.S. Federal income taxes to the
extent they are not offset by foreign tax credits, but it is not practicable to
estimate the total tax liability that would be incurred upon such a
distribution.

6. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COCOA, BATTERY SEPARATORS AND ENGINEERED MATERIALS AND SYSTEMS
In the second quarter of 1993, Grace classified as discontinued operations its
cocoa and battery separators businesses; certain engineered materials
businesses, principally its printing products, electromagnetic radiation control
and material technology businesses (collectively EMS); and other non-core
businesses pending their divestment. A provision of $105.0 (net of an applicable
tax benefit of $22.3) was recorded in the second quarter of 1993, which includes
the loss expected on the divestment of these businesses, their anticipated net
operating results and a $15.7 provision for interest expense allocated to the
discontinued operations through their expected dates of divestment.
GRACE ENERGY
During the first and second quarters of 1993, Grace sold substantially all the
oil and gas operations of Grace Energy, which was classified as a discontinued
operation in 1992, for net cash proceeds of $386.0, which was consistent with
prior estimates. The loss from discontinued operations in 1992 included a
provision of $155.0 (net of an applicable tax benefit of $81.8) relating to the
losses expected on the divestment of Grace Energy's operations. Grace is
pursuing the divestment of Colowyo, a partnership wholly owned by Grace Energy,
and expects to conclude such a transaction in 1994. Grace is in the process of
liquidating the remaining miscellaneous assets and liabilities of Grace Energy's
oil and gas operations.
GRACE DISTRIBUTION AND OTHER
As mentioned above, in the second quarter of 1993, Grace classified as
discontinued operations certain non-core businesses, which include its animal
genetics and Caribbean fertilizer operations, the operating results and net
assets of which are included under "Other" in the following tables. In 1992,
Grace classified as discontinued operations certain corporate investments,
including Grace's minority interests in Canonie Environmental Services Corp. and
Grace-Sierra Horticultural Products Company. In December 1993, Grace completed
the sale of these minority interests for total proceeds of $41.3. Grace is
pursuing the sale of the remaining non-core businesses and corporate investments
and expects to conclude such transactions in 1994.
The loss from discontinued operations in 1992 included an after-tax provision
of $12.1 relating to the loss associated with the sale of Grace's remaining
Mexican- style restaurant operation. In March 1992, Grace completed the sale of
Grace Distribution for $97.8 in cash and notes.
F-13
Operating results of Grace's discontinued operations subsequent to their
classification as such have been consistent with amounts originally estimated
and are recorded against established reserves. Operating results prior to
classification as discontinued operations and sales and revenues for the three
years ended December 31, 1993, 1992 and 1991 were as follows:

During 1993 and 1992, Grace entered into agreements to sell up to $270.0 and
$345.0, respectively, of interests in designated pools of trade receivables. At
December 31, 1993 and 1992, $263.8 and $307.9, respectively, had been received
pursuant to such sales, which amounts are reflected as reductions to trade
accounts receivable. Included in the trade receivables sold at December 31, 1992
are $50.0 of trade receivables the sale of which has been reflected as a
reduction in net assets of discontinued operations.
Under the terms of these agreements, new interests in trade receivables are
sold as collections reduce previously sold trade receivables. There is no
recourse to Grace, nor is Grace required to repurchase any of the trade
receivables in the pools; if certain trade receivables in the pools prove to be
uncollectible, other trade receivables are substituted (to the extent
available). Costs related to these sales are expensed as incurred. There were
no gains or losses on these transactions.
Inventories valued at LIFO cost comprised 29.0% and 22.9% of inventories at
December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively. Liquidation of prior years' LIFO
inventory layers in 1993, 1992 and 1991 did not materially affect cost of goods
sold in any of these years.

Interest costs have been incurred in connection with the financing of certain
assets prior to placing them in service. Interest costs capitalized in 1993,
1992 and 1991 were $7.4, $20.4 and $21.4, respectively.
Depreciation and amortization expense relating to properties and equipment
amounted to $189.2, $194.9 and $203.4 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Grace's rental expense for operating leases amounted to $63.8, $80.0 and $67.7
in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively. See Note 11 for information regarding
contingent rentals.

In 1992, a critical raw material supplier to Grace's fumed silica plant in
Belgium was effectively denied a previously promised permit for by-product
disposal, resulting in the shutdown of the supplier's plant. As a result, the
continued operation of Grace's plant would have required Grace to obtain other
suppliers and/or take other actions requiring significant additional investment.
Consequently, Grace closed its plant and in the third quarter of 1992 recorded a
one-time provision of $140.0, reflecting the entire net book value of the
facility and certain additional expenses. This provision could be offset in
part by recoveries from litigation, the renegotiation of certain contracts
relating to the plant and/or the sale of the plant. As of December 31, 1993,
Grace substantially completed the shutdown of this facility and believes the
amounts recorded are adequate to cover remaining contingencies.

THE LYONS (APPROXIMATELY $309.6 PRINCIPAL AMOUNT, $113.5 CARRYING VALUE)
WERE CONVERTED INTO 2.8 MILLION SHARES OF W. R. GRACE & CO. COMMON STOCK.
THE REMAINDER OF THE LYONS WERE REDEEMED FOR $257.6 IN CASH.
(7) GRACE REDEEMED IN FULL ALL OF ITS OUTSTANDING 6.25% CONVERTIBLE SUBORDINATE
DEBENTURES DUE 2002 (6.25% DEBENTURES) ON SEPTEMBER 15, 1993. THE 6.25%
DEBENTURES WERE CONVERTIBLE INTO COMMON STOCK OF W. R. GRACE & CO. AT a
CONVERSION PRICE OF $42.125 PER SHARE. SUBSTANTIALLY ALL OF THE $150.0
PRINCIPAL AMOUNT OF THE 6.25% DEBENTURES OUTSTANDING IMMEDIATELY PRIOR TO
THE REDEMPTION DATE WAS REDEEMED FOR CASH (EQUAL TO THE PRINCIPAL AMOUNT
OUTSTANDING).
Payment of substantially all of Grace's borrowings may be accelerated, and its
principal borrowing agreements terminated, upon the occurrence of a default
under certain other Grace borrowings.
Scheduled maturities of debt outstanding at December 31, 1993 are: 1994--$9.1;
1995--$166.3; 1996--$13.9; 1997--$6.1, and 1998--$4.4.
Interest expense for 1993, 1992 and 1991 amounted to $81.5, $90.0 and $115.4,
respectively. Interest payments made in 1993, 1992 and 1991 amounted to $102.5,
$166.8 and $263.9, respectively. By managing its interest rate exposure through
interest rate derivative agreements, Grace reduced interest expense for the
years ended December 31, 1993 and 1992 by $20.3 and $4.7, respectively. See
Note 10 for a further discussion of interest rate hedge agreements.
During the fourth quarter of 1993, Grace filed a registration statement with
the Securities and Exchange Commission covering $750.0 of debt and/or equity
securities that may be sold from time to time; the registration statement became
effective in January 1994.
F-17
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
INTEREST RATE SWAPS
Grace enters into interest rate hedge agreements to manage interest costs and
risks associated with changing interest rates; most of these agreements
effectively convert underlying fixed-rate debt into variable-rate debt based on
LIBOR. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the notional principal amount of these
agreements totalled $1,250.0 and $1,035.0, respectively. At December 31, 1993,
Grace would have been required to pay $25.8 to settle these agreements,
representing the excess of carrying value over fair value, based on estimates
received from financial institutions. The fair value at December 31, 1992 was
not material. Due to previously settled agreements, Grace has unamortized gains
of $56.3 and $4.9 as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, respectively, which are
reflected as adjustments to interest expense over appropriate periods relevant
to the respective financial instruments.
FOREIGN CURRENCY CONTRACTS
Grace enters into a variety of short-term currency swaps, foreign exchange
contracts and options to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency
exchange rates. These contracts generally involve the exchange of one currency
for another at a future date. At December 31, 1993, Grace had a notional
principal amount of approximately $34.9 in contracts to buy or sell foreign
currency in the future. The carrying value at December 31, 1993 and 1992, which
approximated fair value based on exchange rates at December 31, 1993 and 1992,
was not significant.
OTHER FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the carrying value of financial instruments such
as cash, short-term investments, trade receivables and payables and short- term
debt approximated their fair values, based on the short-term maturities of these
instruments. Additionally, the carrying value of both long-term investments and
receivables approximated fair values. Fair value is determined based on expected
future cash flows, discounted at market interest rates, and other appropriate
valuation methodologies. At December 31, 1993 and 1992, the fair value of
long-term debt was $1,216.4 and $1,400.9, respectively. Both periods include
approximately $510.0 of borrowings supported by the revolver agreement, for
which the carrying value approximated fair value. The fair value of debt is
determined by obtaining quotes from financial institutions.
Exposure to market risk on interest rate and foreign currency contracts
results from fluctuations in floating rate indices and currency rates,
respectively, during the periods in which the contracts are outstanding. The
counterparties to Grace's interest rate hedge agreements and currency exchange
contracts consist of a diversified group of major financial institutions. Grace
is exposed to credit risk to the extent of nonperformance by these
counterparties; however, management believes the risk of incurring losses due to
credit risk is remote. The notional amount of the instruments discussed above
reflected the extent of involvement in the instruments, but did not represent
its exposure to market risk. Considerable judgment is required to develop the
estimates of fair value; thus, the estimates provided above are not necessarily
indicative of the amounts that could be realized in a current market exchange.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENT LIABILITIES

Grace is the named tenant or guarantor with respect to certain lease obligations
of previously divested businesses. The leases, some of which extend to 2015,
have future minimum lease payments aggregating $68.4. Grace is also the named
tenant or guarantor with respect to lease obligations having future minimum
lease payments of $43.7, as to which Channel Home Centers, Inc., a previously
divested business, has been released in bankruptcy; offsetting this is $39.7 of
future minimum rental income from subtenants. Grace continues to attempt to
sublease the remaining properties and believes its ultimate exposure is not
material.
Grace is the named tenant with respect to lease obligations with future
minimum lease payments of $19.5 that have been assigned to Hermans, a previously
divested business currently operating under Chapter 11 of the Federal Bankruptcy
Code. Hermans has advised Grace that it intends to continue to occupy premises
under leases with future minimum payments of $17.9 and is negotiating
termination agreements as to the remainder. Grace believes its ultimate exposure
under these leases is not material, as Hermans is performing on its current
lease obligations and expects to emerge from bankruptcy as a viable company.
Additionally, Grace is fully indemnified by other parties for any losses it may
incur under these leases.
In 1992 and 1993, Grace provided The Restaurant Enterprises Group, Inc. (REG)
with various forms of financial support, including a letter of credit support
facility to assist REG in meeting certain liquidity and other financial
requirements. During 1993, REG was reorganized, and in January 1994 the letter
of credit was canceled and Grace received $42.8 in exchange for all of the REG
securities held by Grace. The reorganized REG (now named Family Restaurants,
Inc.) has agreed to indemnify Grace with respect to leases entered into by REG's
subsidiaries under which Grace remains contingently liable. At December 31,
1993, these leases have future minimum lease payments of $72.4. Grace believes
any risk of loss from these contingent liabilities is remote.

Grace is subject to loss contingencies resulting from environmental laws and
regulations, which include obligations to remove or mitigate the effects on the
environment of the disposal or release of certain wastes and other substances at
various sites. Grace accrues for anticipated costs associated with investigatory
and remediation efforts where an assessment has indicated that a loss is
probable and can be reasonably estimated. At December 31, 1993, Grace's accrued
liability for environmental remediation totalled approximately $160.0.
The measurement of the liability is evaluated quarterly based on currently
available information, including the progress of remedial investigation at each
site, the current status of discussions with regulatory authorities regarding
the method and extent of remediation at each site, and the extent of
apportionment of costs among other potentially responsible parties. As some of
these matters are decided (the outcome of which is subject to various
uncertainties) and/or new sites are assessed and costs can be reasonably
estimated, Grace will review and analyze the need for additional accruals.

12. Minority Interests
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In December 1992, LP, formerly a general partnership named Grace Cocoa that was
wholly owned by two Grace entities, admitted two additional Grace entities as
general partners and also admitted one new limited partner. As a result of the
admission of these new partners, the total capital of LP increased to $1,430.5,
which included a $300.0 cash contribution made by the new limited partner,
$297.0 of which was funded by outside investors. LP's assets consist of Grace
Cocoa's worldwide cocoa and chocolate business, long-term notes and demand loans
due from various Grace entities, which are guaranteed by W. R. Grace & Co. and
its principal operating subsidiary, and cash. The cash contribution from the new
limited partner was initially lent by LP to the principal operating subsidiary
of W. R. Grace & Co. and was used to retire certain domestic borrowings and for
general corporate purposes. Four Grace entities serve as general partners of LP
and own general partnership interests totalling 79.03% in LP; the new limited
partner owns a 20.97% limited partner interest in LP. LP is a separate and
distinct legal entity from each of the Grace entities and has separate assets,
liabilities, business functions and operations. For financial reporting
purposes, the assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of LP
are included in Grace's consolidated financial statements as a component of
discontinued operations and the outside investors' interest in LP is reflected
as a minority interest.

At December 31, 1993, options covering 5,056,256 shares (1992 -- 4,025,840,
1991 -- 3,690,088) were exercisable and 1,804,122 shares (1992 -- 3,087,994,
1991 -- 4,637,368) were available for additional grants.
In 1991, certain executive officers surrendered all or a portion of their
outstanding stock options in exchange for shares of common stock equal in value
to the excess of (1) the market value of the option shares at the date of
surrender over (2) the purchase price of the option shares. The shares received
upon surrender were subject to restrictions on transfer. The officers
surrendering options generally were granted new options covering an
equal number of shares with a purchase price equal to 110% of the fair market
value of the common stock on the date of grant. Subject to certain exceptions,
such options may not be exercised until 1996, at which time they become
exercisable in five annual installments.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
15. PENSION PLANS
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace maintains defined benefit pension plans covering employees of certain
units who meet age and service requirements. Benefits are generally based on
final average salary and years of service. Grace funds its U.S. pension plans
in accordance with federal laws and regulations. Non-U.S. pension plans are
funded under a variety of methods because of differing local laws and customs
and therefore cannot be summarized. Approximately 55% of U.S. and non-U.S. plan
assets at December 31, 1993 were common stocks, with the remainder primarily
fixed income securities.
Pension (benefit)/cost is comprised of the following components:

As a result of classifying certain operations as discontinued and divesting
other operations, Grace recognized an increase in the net prepaid pension
benefit of $6.2 and $10.9 in 1992 and 1991, respectively. In addition, Grace
settled certain pension obligations of one of its non-U.S. plans, resulting in
gains of $.6, $.7 and $11.8 in 1993, 1992 and 1991, respectively.
Grace's Retirement Plan for Salaried Employees (Plan) contains provisions
under which the Plan would automatically terminate in the event of a change in
control of W. R. Grace & Co. and Plan benefits would be secured through the
purchase of annuity contracts. Upon such termination, a portion of the Plan's
excess assets would be placed in an irrevocable trust to fund various employee
benefit plans and arrangements of Grace, and any balance would be returned to
Grace.
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
F-21
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
16. Other Postretirement Benefit Plans
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace provides certain other postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits for retired employees of specified U.S. units. These retiree medical
and life insurance plans provide various levels of benefits to employees
(depending on their date of hire) who retire from Grace after age 55 with at
least 10 years of service. The plans are currently unfunded.
Effective January 1, 1992, Grace adopted SFAS No. 106, which requires the
accrual method of accounting for the future costs of postretirement health care
and life insurance benefits over the employees' years of service. The "pay as
you go" method of accounting, used prior to 1992, recognized these costs on a
cash basis. The adoption of SFAS No. 106 on the immediate recognition basis,
concurrent with the adoption of SFAS No. 109, resulted in a charge to 1992
earnings of $190.0, net of $98.0 of deferred income taxes. In addition, the
application of SFAS No. 106 resulted in a decrease of $5.1 in 1992 after-tax
earnings from continuing operations. Grace's cash flow, however, is unaffected
by implementation of SFAS No. 106, as Grace continues to pay the costs of
postretirement benefits as they are incurred.
Included in noncurrent liabilities as of December 31, 1993 and 1992 are the
following:
1993 1992
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation:
Retirees............................................... $168.9 $151.0
Fully eligible participants............................ 36.9 21.5
Active ineligible participants......................... 38.3 45.1
------ ------
Accumulated postretirement benefit obligation............... 244.1 217.6
Unrecognized net loss.................................. (40.7) (17.6)
Unrecognized prior service benefit..................... 52.9 75.2
------ ------
Accrued postretirement benefit obligation................... $256.3 $275.2
------ ------
------ ------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost for the years ended December 31, 1993
and 1992 is comprised of the following components:
1993 1992
Service cost................................................. $ 2.2 $ 3.8
Interest cost on accumulated postretirement
benefit obligation........................................... 13.2 15.6
Amortization of net loss..................................... .2 --
Amortization of prior service benefit........................ (4.5) (1.9)
----- ------
Net periodic postretirement benefit cost..................... $11.1 $17.5
----- ------
----- ------
The cost of these benefits (cash basis) to Grace's continuing operations was
approximately $5.6 for 1991. As a result of classifying certain operations as
discontinued, Grace recognized reductions in the accrued postretirement benefit
obligation of approximately $16.6 and $23.5 in 1993 and 1992, respectively,
which are reflected in the reserve for discontinued operations.
During 1992, Grace's retiree medical plans were amended to increase cost
sharing by employees retiring after January 1, 1993. This amendment decreased
the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation by $52.9 at December 31, 1993
and will be amortized over an average remaining future service life of
approximately 13 years.
Medical care cost trend rates were projected at 11.7% in 1993, declining to
5.0% through 2003 and remaining level thereafter. The effect of a one percentage
point increase in each year's assumed medical care cost trend rate, holding all
other assumptions constant, would be to increase the annual net periodic
postretirement benefit cost by $1.6 and the accumulated postretirement benefit
obligation by $16.5. The discount rates at December 31, 1993 and 1992 were 7.5%
and 8.0%, respectively.
In November 1992, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued SFAS No.
112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," which requires accrual
accounting for non-accumulating postemployment benefits. Grace's primary
postemployment obligation is for disabled workers' medical benefits. These are
currently included in accrued postretirement costs under SFAS No. 106. The
adoption of SFAS No. 112 is not expected to have a material effect on Grace's
results of operations or financial position.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION
REVIEW OF OPERATIONS
OVERVIEW
Sales and revenues increased 8% in 1993 over 1992, excluding businesses divested
in 1992; including the divested businesses, 1993 sales and revenues increased by
2% as compared to 1992. Sales and revenues increased 9% in 1992 over 1991,
excluding businesses sold in both years.
In the third quarter of 1993, Grace recorded a special noncash after-tax
charge of $300 million ($475 million pretax) to reflect a September 1, 1993
decision of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit, which had the
effect of reducing Grace's insurance coverage for asbestos property damage
lawsuits and claims. In the fourth quarter of 1993, Grace reversed $200 million
of the after-tax provision ($316 million pretax) following the Court's decision
to grant Grace's petition for a re-hearing concerning the September 1, 1993
decision; the remaining after-tax provision of $100 million ($159 million
pretax) reflects anticipated additional legal expenses and other uncertainties
related to Grace's asbestos lawsuits and claims. In the third quarter of 1992,
Grace closed its Belgian fumed silica plant and recorded a one-time provision of
$140 million, representing the entire net book value of the facility and certain
additional expenses. Excluding the 1993 asbestos and 1992 fumed silica charges,
income from continuing operations for 1993 increased 19%, to $234.4 million,
over 1992 (including businesses divested in 1992). Income from continuing
operations decreased by 2% in 1992 as compared to 1991 (excluding the provision
relating to the fumed silica plant, but including businesses divested in both
years).
For all periods presented, the statement of operations has been restated to
reflect the classification of certain businesses as discontinued operations, as
discussed in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
SPECIALTY CHEMICALS
Including the results of chemical businesses divested in 1992, sales and
revenues decreased by 5% in 1993 as compared to 1992, and operating income after
taxes (operating income) decreased by 6% for 1993 versus 1992 (excluding the
1992 provision related to the fumed silica plant).
The following discussion excludes sales and revenues and operating income
of divested businesses and the fumed silica provision referred to above.
Sales and revenues increased 3% in 1993 as compared to 1992, reflecting
favorable volume and price/product mix variances estimated at 6% and 2%,
respectively, offset by an unfavorable currency exchange variance estimated at
5%. Volume increases occurred in 1993 in packaging (due to improved sales of
films and laminates), water treatment (reflecting the acquisition of Latin
America's largest water treatment business in the first quarter of 1993), fluid
cracking catalysts and silica products (reflecting improvements in market share
and pricing) and construction products (reflecting the introduction of new
concrete admixtures and stronger sales in waterproofing systems).
Operating income was flat in 1993 compared to 1992. North American results
significantly improved in 1993, as strong growth occurred in packaging, fluid
cracking catalysts and silica products and construction products, due mainly to
the volume increases noted above. European results for most product lines were
adversely affected by continuing recessionary conditions, leading to reduced
profitability; however, results for European fluid cracking catalysts and silica
products improved, primarily due to increased volumes achieved following the
withdrawal of certain competitors from this market in 1992. In Asia Pacific,
favorable results were achieved, primarily in packaging and fluid cracking
catalysts and silica products. In Latin America, results were down, primarily
due to the costs of integrating the operations of the new water treatment
business, partially offset by favorable results in packaging.
Sales increased by 5% in 1992 compared to 1991, excluding from both periods
the sales of chemical businesses divested in both years; sales were essentially
flat including those businesses. The increase was primarily due to favorable
volume, price/product mix and foreign currency exchange variances estimated at
3%, 1% and 1%, respectively. Volume increases occurred in most product lines,
particularly packaging and fluid cracking catalysts and silica products.
Operating income for 1992 decreased 5% over 1991, excluding the divested
chemical businesses; operating income increased 3% including those businesses.
North American results for most product lines improved in 1992, as strong growth
was exhibited in packaging and fluid cracking catalysts and silica products,
mainly due to strong volume increases. European results were adversely affected
by recessionary conditions, leading to reduced profitability. However, favorable
results were achieved in both Asia Pacific and Latin America for most product
lines.
HEALTH CARE
Sales and revenues for 1993 increased by 19% over 1992, due to increases of 18%,
36% and 11%, respectively, in kidney dialysis services, home health care and
medical products operations (including laboratory services). 1993 results for
dialysis services and home health care include the results of Home Intensive
Care, Inc., acquired in June 1993, as well as a number of smaller acquisitions
during the year. The number of centers providing dialysis and related services
increased 20%, from 419 at year-end 1992 to 501 at year-end 1993 (471 in the
U.S. and Puerto Rico, 23 in Portugal, 4 in Spain, 2 in the Czech Republic and 1
in Argentina).
F-30
Operating income in 1993 increased by 35% over 1992. The 1993 results for
all health care businesses benefited from improvements in cost controls,
operating efficiencies and/or capacity utilization, partially offset by the
costs of improving and expanding quality assurance systems for medical products
manufacturing (see below for further discussion). In addition, results for 1992
included costs related to previously reported long-term incentive arrangements
with certain health care executives. It is unclear at this time whether and to
what extent any of the currently proposed reforms in U.S. health care will
affect Grace's health care operations. However, based on its knowledge and
understanding of the health care industry in general and of other providers of
kidney dialysis and infusion therapy, as well as on publicly available
information, Grace believes that its health care operations are among the most
cost-efficient in the industry.
Sales and revenues of health care operations increased by 20%, to $1.3
billion, in 1992 as compared to 1991, reflecting improvements of 19%, 16% and
26%, respectively, in kidney dialysis services, home health care and medical
products operations. Operating income for 1992 increased by 27% over 1991,
reflecting the continued growth of all health care businesses, as well as
improvements in operating efficiencies and capacity utilization.
In 1993, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued import alerts
with respect to (1) hemodialysis bloodlines manufactured at the plant of
National Medical Care, Inc. (NMC), Grace's principal health care subsidiary,
located in Reynosa, Mexico and (2) hemodialyzers manufactured in NMC's Dublin,
Ireland facility. Products subject to FDA import alerts may not enter the U.S.
until the FDA approves the quality assurance systems of the facility at which
such products are manufactured. In January 1994, NMC entered into a consent
decree providing for the resumption of importation of bloodlines and
hemodialyzers following certification by NMC that the relevant facility complies
with FDA regulations and successful completion of an FDA inspection to verify
such compliance. In accordance with the consent decree, NMC certified compliance
to the FDA with respect to the Reynosa, Mexico facility in January 1994, and the
FDA lifted the bloodline import alert in March 1994 following a thorough
reinspection by the FDA and a commitment by NMC to finish certain studies by May
1994 and, in the interim, to perform additional product testing. Certification
of compliance at the Dublin, Ireland facility is anticipated in the second
quarter of 1994. The consent decree also requires NMC to certify and maintain
compliance with applicable FDA device manufacturing laws and regulations at all
of its U.S. manufacturing facilities. NMC has conducted a full review of its
facilities and upgraded, as necessary, all of its quality assurance systems. No
fines or penalties were imposed on NMC as a result of any of the FDA's actions
relating to the import alerts or in connection with the consent decree. Neither
the import alerts nor previously reported recalls of certain NMC products are
expected to have a material effect on Grace's results of operations or financial
position.
STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
OTHER INCOME
See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information relating to
other income.
INTEREST EXPENSE
Interest expense decreased by 9% in 1993 versus 1992, primarily due to lower
debt levels and lower interest rates, the use of financial instruments (see Note
10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) and the replacement of certain
fixed-rate debt with lower-cost floating-rate borrowings, partially offset by a
reduction in interest allocated to discontinued operations and interest
capitalized.
See "Financial Condition: Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for
information on borrowings.
RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES
Research and development (R&D) spending increased by 4% in 1993 versus 1992. R&D
spending is now primarily directed toward Grace's core specialty chemicals and
health care businesses.
INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate was 39.2% in 1993 versus 43.1% in 1992, before giving
effect to the 1992 provision of $51.9 million for a valuation allowance for
deferred tax assets. The lower effective tax rate in 1993 resulted primarily
from reductions in certain foreign tax rates and higher utilization of research
and development and foreign tax credits, partially offset by tax costs
associated with repatriating to the U.S. earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The
valuation allowance for 1993 and 1992 relates to the uncertainty as to the
realization of certain deferred tax assets, including U.S. tax credit
carryforwards, state and local net operating loss carryforwards and net deferred
tax assets, and net operating loss carryforwards in certain foreign
jurisdictions. Based upon anticipated future results, the Company has concluded,
after consideration of the valuation allowance, that it is more likely than not
that the net deferred tax asset balance will be realized.
In the third quarter of 1993, Grace recorded the effects of the Omnibus
Budget Reconciliation Act of 1993 (OBRA), which was enacted in August 1993.
Among other things, OBRA increased the highest U.S. Federal corporate tax rate
to 35%, effective January 1, 1993. However, neither this increase in the U.S.
Federal corporate tax rate (from 34%), nor the other provisions of OBRA, had a
material effect on Grace's results of operations.
F-31
The 1992 effective tax rate increased to 43.1% (before the above provision
for the valuation allowance) as compared with 39.6% in 1991, largely due to the
additional costs of repatriating to the U.S. a higher level of earnings of
foreign subsidiaries and an increase in state income taxes.
See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information
on income taxes.
LOSS FROM DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS
In 1993, Grace restated its financial statements to reflect the classification
of certain businesses as discontinued operations. See Note 6 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements for further information.
FINANCIAL CONDITION
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
During 1993, the net pretax cash flow provided by Grace's continuing operating
activities was $301.6 million versus $358.9 million in 1992, primarily due to
the use of $44.1 million of net cash to repurchase accounts receivable in 1993,
as compared to the receipt of $96.8 million of net proceeds from the sale of
accounts receivable in 1992, and a net cash outflow of $103.1 million relating
to asbestos in 1993 (see below for further discussion), compared with a net cash
outflow of $70.3 million in 1992. Also, in 1993 cash flow provided by operating
activities includes $67.9 million in proceeds from the settlement of interest
rate hedge agreements. After giving effect to discontinued operations and
payments of income taxes, the net cash provided by operating activities was
$243.1 million in 1993.
Investing activities used $151.9 million of cash in 1993, largely
reflecting capital expenditures and business acquisitions and investments,
primarily in the health care and water treatment businesses. During 1993, Grace
acquired 100% of the outstanding stock of Home Intensive Care, Inc. for
approximately $129 million (inclusive of related costs). These investing
activities were offset by net proceeds of $464.8 million from divestments
(mainly those of Grace Energy's oil and gas operations). Management anticipates
that the level of capital expenditures in 1994 will increase to approximately
$350 million as compared to the $309.6 million of capital spending in 1993.
Capital spending is expected to be concentrated on Grace's core businesses.
Net cash used for financing activities in 1993 was $105.9 million,
primarily reflecting the payment of $128.4 million of dividends. Total debt was
approximately $1.7 billion at year-end 1993, a decrease of $113.1 million from
year-end 1992. Grace's total debt as a percentage of total capital (debt ratio)
decreased from 54.1% at year-end 1992 to 52.9% at year-end 1993, primarily as a
result of the reduction in total debt.
In January 1993, Grace sold $300 million principal amount of 7.4% Notes Due
2000. The net proceeds from the sale of these Notes were used to repay
commercial paper and bank borrowings.
In the third quarter of 1993, Grace completed the redemption in full of its
outstanding Liquid Yield Option Notes due 2006 (LYONs) and 6 1/4% Convertible
Subordinate Debentures Due 2002. Of the $1,012.5 million principal amount at
maturity of LYONs outstanding, approximately 31% ($309.6 million) was converted
into 2.8 million shares of common stock; the remaining LYONs ($702.9 million)
were redeemed for approximately $258 million in cash. Substantially all of the
$150 million principal amount of the 6 1/4% Convertible Debentures due 2002
outstanding immediately prior to redemption was redeemed for cash (equal to the
principal amount outstanding).
Grace expects to satisfy its 1994 cash requirements from the following
sources: (1) funds generated by operations, (2) proceeds from the sales of
businesses and (3) financings. Such financings could include new borrowings, the
availability and cost of which will depend upon general economic and market
conditions.
ASBESTOS-RELATED MATTERS
As reported in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Grace is a
defendant in lawsuits relating to previously sold asbestos-containing products.
In 1993, Grace paid $103.1 million in connection with the defense and
disposition of property damage and personal injury litigation related to
asbestos, net of amounts received in 1993 from settlements with certain of
Grace's insurance carriers. As more fully discussed above in "Review of
Operations: Overview," Grace recorded a net noncash charge of $159 million
(pretax) in 1993 to reflect anticipated additional legal expenses and other
uncertainties related to Grace's asbestos lawsuits and claims. The balance sheet
at year-end 1993 includes a receivable due from insurance carriers, subject to
litigation, of $962.3 million. Grace has also recorded a receivable of
approximately $114 million for amounts to be received pursuant to settlement
agreements previously entered into with certain insurance carriers. While Grace
cannot precisely estimate the amounts to be paid in 1994 in respect of
asbestos-related lawsuits and claims, Grace expects that it will be required to
expend approximately $50 million in 1994 to defend and dispose of such lawsuits
and claims (after giving effect to payments to be received from certain
insurance carriers, as discussed above and in Note 2 to the Consolidated
Financial Statements). As indicated therein, the amounts reflected in the
Consolidated Financial Statements with respect to the probable cost of disposing
of pending asbestos lawsuits and claims and probable recoveries from insurance
carriers represent estimates; neither the outcomes of such lawsuits and claims
nor the outcomes of Grace's continuing litigations with certain of its insurance
carriers can be predicted with certainty.
F-32
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Grace incurs costs related to environmental protection due to laws and
regulations, Grace's commitment to industry initiatives such as Responsible
Care -R- (the Chemical Manufacturers Association program) and its own internal
standards. Worldwide expenses of continuing operations related to the operation
and maintenance of environmental facilities and disposal of hazardous and
nonhazardous wastes totalled $45 million, $56 million and $38 million in 1993,
1992 and 1991, respectively.In addition, worldwide capital expenditures for
continuing operations relating to environmental protection in 1993 totalled
$20 million, compared with $18 million and $17 million in 1992 and 1991,
respectively.
Grace has also incurred costs to remediate previously contaminated sites.
These costs were $44 million, $35 million and $18 million in 1993, 1992 and
1991, respectively. These amounts were charged against previously established
reserves for estimated expenses for environmental spending, which were
identified and charged to income in prior years.
Grace accrues for anticipated costs associated with investigatory and
remediation efforts in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting
Standards No. 5, "Accounting for Contingencies," which governs probability and
the ability to reasonably estimate future costs. During 1993, 1992 and 1991,
there were periodic provisions recorded for environmental and plant closure
expenses, which include the costs of future investigatory and remediation
activities. At year-end 1993, Grace's accruals for environmental remediation
totalled approximately $160 million. These reserves do not take into account any
discounting for future expenditures or possible future insurance recoveries. The
liabilities are reassessed whenever environmental circumstances become better
defined and/or remediation efforts and their costs can be better estimated.
Annual environmental-related cash outlays are expected to total $44 million in
1994 and $35 million in 1995. Expenditures have been funded from internal
sources of cash and are not expected to have a significant effect on liquidity.

(a) Represents commercial paper and bank borrowings. Prior to September
1992, all amounts, although short-term in nature, were classified as
long-term borrowings because of the availability of long-term
financing under a prior revolving credit agreement and Grace's intent
to refinance these borrowings on a long-term basis. In accordance
with a 1992 revolving credit agreement, only a portion of these
borrowings may be classified as long-term; see Note 9 to Grace's
Consolidated Financial Statements in the Financial Supplement to this
Report.
(b) Represents various lines of credit and miscellaneous borrowings,
primarily of non-U.S. subsidiaries.
(c) Represents the maximum outstanding at any quarter-end during the year.
