     NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED BALANCE SHEET AND
                            STATEMENT OF OPERATIONS
                   (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS, EXCEPT PAR VALUE)

(a)    The Reorganization Agreement provides that, prior to the Reorganization,
       NMC will borrow and/or will assume debt of Grace Chemicals in an
       aggregate amount of approximately $2,263 (as adjusted pursuant to the
       Reorganization Agreement), and will distribute the net cash proceeds to
       Grace Chemicals; it is currently estimated that such aggregate amount
       will be approximately $2,259.1.  A portion of such net cash proceeds
       will be applied to further reduce Grace Chemicals' debt, resulting in an
       aggregate reduction of $1,199.1 in Grace Chemicals' debt (see note (b)
       below).  In addition, Grace will incur expenses totaling approximately
       $60.0 (net of applicable tax benefit) in connection with the
       Reorganization.  The remaining net cash proceeds received from NMC
       (estimated at $1,000.0) are expected to be used to (i) purchase shares
       of New Grace Common Stock (which would result in a decrease in current
       assets and a commensurate decrease in shareholders' equity); (ii) invest
       in core businesses; and (iii) further reduce Grace Chemicals' debt.

(b)    As discussed in note (a) above, the assumption of Grace Chemicals' debt
       by NMC and the application of a portion of the net cash proceeds
       distributed to Grace Chemicals by NMC to the reduction of Grace
       Chemicals' debt is expected to result in an aggregate reduction of
       $1,199.1 in Grace Chemicals' debt, consisting of (i) $179.8 of
       borrowings under NMC receivables financing arrangements; (ii) $181.5 of
       other NMC debt; (iii) $566.2 of short-term debt (consisting of $336.0 of
       commercial paper and bank borrowings and $230.2 of other short-term
       borrowings); (iv) $170.1 of commercial paper classified as long-term
       debt; and (v) $101.5 of borrowings under Grace Chemicals receivables
       financing arrangements.

(c)    Reflects the disposition of NMC's net assets of $1,872.0.  Subsequent to
       the disposition of NMC, New Grace will retain as discontinued operations
       certain health care assets, primarily a bioseparation sciences business,
       a health care services company and other assets (including NMC's cash
       and marketable securities).  The resulting gain of $387.1 (reflecting
       net cash proceeds of $2,259.1, as described in note (a) above, less the
       disposition of NMC's net assets of $1,872.0) is not reflected in the
       pro forma condensed consolidated statement of operations.

(d)    As part of the Reorganization, Grace New York will distribute, on a
       one-share-for-one-share basis, all of the issued and outstanding New
       Grace Common Stock (which has a par value of $.01 per share) to the
       holders of shares of Grace New York Common Stock (which has a par value
       of $1.00 per share) at the Time of Distribution.  The treasury stock
       held by Grace New York at the Time of Distribution will not be
       transferred to New Grace and is therefore eliminated in the pro forma
       adjustments.  As a result of the retirement of the treasury stock and
       the difference in the par values, (i) the $395.1 of treasury stock will
       be eliminated, (ii) Common stock will decrease by $97.7 and (iii) paid
       in capital will decrease by $297.4.

(e)    The currently issued and outstanding shares of Grace New York Preferred
       Stock will remain issued and outstanding following the Reorganization
       and the Distribution, and no New Grace preferred stock will be issued.
       The resulting reduction in outstanding Preferred stock is presented as
       an increase in retained earnings within the shareholders' equity
       section of the pro forma balance sheet.

(f)    Grace Chemicals has allocated interest expense to discontinued
       operations (including NMC), based on the ratio of the net assets of the
       businesses classified as discontinued operations as compared to Grace
       Chemicals' total capital.  Excluding amounts allocated to discontinued
       operations, interest expense and related financing costs were $71.3 for
       the year ended December 31, 1995 and $36.7 for the six months ended June
       30, 1996.  For the year ended December 31, 1995, the assumed reduction
       in debt as of January 1, 1995 would have the pro forma effect of
       reducing total interest expense and related financing costs by $94.2 (of
       which $0.7 was attributable to continuing operations and $93.5 was
       attributable to discontinued operations).  For the six months ended June
       30, 1996, the assumed reduction in debt as of January 1, 1995 would have
       the pro forma effect of reducing total interest expense and related
       financing costs by $42.3 (increasing interest expense and related
       financing costs attributable to continuing operations by $8.9 and
       reducing interest expense and related financing costs attributable to
       discontinued operations by $51.2).

       The above adjustments to interest expense and related financing costs
       would have the pro forma effect of increasing tax expense by $0.3 for
       the year ended December 31, 1995 and reducing tax expense by $3.6 for
       the six-month period ended June 30, 1996.  The tax effects were
       calculated using an effective tax rate of approximately 40%, which
       represents the U.S. federal corporate tax rate of 35%, plus state and
       local income taxes, net of U.S. federal income tax benefit.
                               ________________

    For accounting purposes, Grace Chemicals will receive the Distribution
  Payment and will be deemed to receive a 44.8% common equity interest in FMC
  and to immediately distribute such interest to the holders of Grace New York
  Common Stock; however, the receipt and distribution of the interest in FMC
  Ordinary Shares are not reflected in the pro forma condensed consolidated
  balance sheet and statement of operations.

(a)      In addition to the retirement of debt reflected above, it is also
         expected that $101.5 of borrowings under Grace Chemicals receivables
         financing arrangement, $179.8 of borrowings under NMC receivables
         financing arrangements and $181.5 of other NMC debt will be retired.
         These amounts are classified within Notes and accounts receivable, net
