For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 1993. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.

NOTE C--INVESTMENT IN LIFE INSURANCE The Company invests in broad-based corporate owned life insurance. The policy loans are netted against premiums and included in Other Assets. The net expense associated with such investment is included in Other Costs and Expenses. Such expense is immaterial to income before income taxes. NOTE D--OTHER COSTS AND EXPENSES Significant items included in other costs and expenses are as follows: Three months ended Six months ended Thousands of dollars June 30, June 30, -------------------------- ------------------------- 1994 1993 1994 1993 --------- --------- --------- -------- Dividend and royalty income $ 4,034 $ 1,008 $ 5,436 $ 2,822 Provisions for environmental remediation (2,000) (4,000) (2,000) (4,000) Net loss on financing and investing activities (4,820) (239) (5,267) (370) The provisions for environmental remediation reflect the increased estimated costs of remediation at operating facilities, idle facilities and Superfund sites. The net loss on financing and investing activities for 1994 represents the realized gains or losses associated with disposing of fixed assets, the net gain or loss associated with the investment of certain long-term asset funds, the net pre-tax expense associated with the Company's investment in broad-based corporate owned life insurance and the premium associated with the retirement of $13,100,000 principal of outstanding 9.875 percent debentures.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- Consolidated net sales increased 6.8 percent in the second quarter and 5.4 percent in the first six-month period over the comparable 1993 periods. Sales in the Paint Stores Segment increased 8.0 percent over last year for both the second quarter and year-to-date as all operating regions achieved improved sales results over the respective 1993 period. Sales to wholesale customers, which include professional, contractor, industrial and commercial accounts, remain significantly above last year but have been partially offset by continued soft retail sales. Comparable-store sales were up 7.4 percent for the second quarter. Sales of the Coatings Segment increased 5.1 percent and 1.4 percent in the second quarter and year-to-date, respectively. The second quarter sales improvement resulted from increases in the majority of the Segment's product lines. Revenue generated by real estate operations in the Other Segment increased 2.7 percent for the quarter. Consolidated gross profit as a percent of sales increased over 1993 to 43.0 percent from 41.8 percent for the second quarter and to 42.2 percent from 41.2 percent for the first six months. The Paint Stores Segment's gross margins increased from last year primarily due to favorable product sales mix and continued emphasis on store level pricing discipline. Margins in the Coatings Segment increased from last year for the quarter but remain lower for the first six months. Overall production efficiencies continue to enhance the Segment's margins while being partially offset by sales mix changes to lower-margin items in the Automotive and Specialty Divisions. Consolidated selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of sales were higher than 1993 for the second quarter and year-to-date. The Paint Stores Segment's SG&A costs as a percent of sales were below last year due primarily to the sales gains achieved. In the Coatings Segment, SG&A expenses as a percent of sales were higher than last year due primarily to increased market penetration costs of new business and continued brand support in the Consumer Brands and Specialty Divisions. Interest expense decreased 59.4 percent in the second quarter of 1994 and 50.8 percent year-to-date from the comparable 1993 periods due to the normal maturities of long-term debt and the acquisition of certain outstanding long-term debentures. Net investment income was above last year for the second quarter primarily due to increased investment yields partially offset by reduced cash balances resulting primarily from the purchase of common stock for treasury purposes. Year-to-date investment income remains higher than last year. Other expenses increased slightly in the second quarter from 1993. Royalty income increased over last year during the quarter and a significant dividend was received from an unconsolidated subsidiary of the Company. However, such gains in revenue were more than offset by an increased net loss on financing and investing activities, which relates to realized gains or losses associated with disposing of fixed assets, the net gains or losses associated with the investment of certain long-term asset funds, the net pre-tax expense associated with the Company's investment in broad-based corporate owned life insurance beginning in 1994 and the premium associated with the second quarter acquisition of $13,100,000 principal of outstanding 9.875 percent debentures. Net income for the second quarter of 1994 increased to $69,155,000 or $.80 per share from $60,613,000 or $.68 per share in 1993. Net income for the first six months of 1994 increased to $84,663,000 or $.96 per share from $74,423,000 or $.83 per share in 1993. 9 FINANCIAL CONDITION - ------------------- The Company's financial position continues to be strong. Working capital as a percent of sales increased slightly to 19.5 percent from 19.3 percent last year primarily due to higher inventory levels at the operating divisions. Cash and cash equivalents have decreased $126.4 million since year end. The primary uses of cash during the first half of 1994 were treasury stock acquisitions of $103.0 million, capital expenditures of $39.4 million, cash dividends of $24.4 million and normal operating needs for seasonally higher accounts receivable and inventories. Our current ratio at June 30, 1994 decreased to 1.79 from 1.92 at the end of the second quarter last year primarily due to the decrease in cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments. Since June 30, 1993, cash and cash equivalents decreased $9.5 million, primarily due to cash generated by operations of $227.5 million being offset by treasury stock acquisitions of $116.9 million, capital expenditures of $71.5 million, payments of cash dividends totaling $46.6 million, payments of long-term debt of $45.3 million and normal working capital needs. Short-term borrowings have not been utilized during 1994. The Company believes that sufficient cash flows should be generated from operations to support working capital needs for the remainder of 1994. Capital expenditures during the first six months of 1994 represented primarily the cost of remerchandising, remodeling or relocating paint stores and the continued upgrade at manufacturing and research facilities. We do not anticipate the need for any external financing to support our capital programs. During the second quarter of 1994, over 2,500,000 shares of our own common stock were acquired through open market purchases. Year-to-date treasury stock acquired exceeds 3,200,000 shares. We acquire our own stock for general corporate purposes and, depending upon our cash position and market conditions, we may acquire additional shares of stock in the future. At their July 20, 1994 meeting, the Board of Directors authorized the Company to purchase, in the aggregate, 6,000,000 shares of common stock for treasury purposes. 10 The Company and certain other companies are defendants in lawsuits arising from the manufacture and sale of lead pigments and lead paints. It is possible that additional lawsuits may be filed against the Company in the future with similar allegations. The various existing lawsuits seek damages for personal injuries and property damage, which include in several cases the costs incurred to abate the lead related paint from buildings. The Company believes that such lawsuits are without merit and is vigorously defending them. The Company does not believe that any potential liability which may ultimately be determined to be attributable to the Company arising out of such lawsuits will have a material adverse effect on the Company's business or financial condition. The Company believes that it conducts its operations in compliance with the applicable environmental laws and regulations and has implemented various programs designed to protect the environment and ensure continued compliance. The operations of the Company, like those of other companies in our industry, are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations. These laws and regulations not only govern our current operations and products, but also impose potential liability on the Company for past operations which were conducted utilizing practices and procedures that were considered acceptable under the laws and regulations existing at the time these operations were conducted. The Company expects the environmental laws and regulations to impose increasingly stringent requirements upon the Company and our industry in the future. The Company is involved with environmental compliance and remediation activities at some of its current and former sites. The Company, together with other parties, has also been designated a potentially responsible party under federal and state environmental protection laws for the remediation of hazardous waste at a number of third-party sites, primarily Superfund sites. In general, these laws provide that potentially responsible parties may be held jointly and severally liable for investigation and remediation costs regardless of fault. The Company may be similarly designated with respect to additional third-party sites in the future. Although the Company continuously assesses its potential liability for remediation activities with respect to its past operations and third-party sites, any potential liability ultimately determined to be attributable to the Company is subject to a number of uncertainties including, among others, the number of parties involved with respect to any given site, the volumetric contribution which may be attributed to the Company relative to that attributable to other parties, the nature and magnitude of the wastes involved, and the method and extent of remediation. The Company has accrued for certain environmental remediation activities relating to its past operations and third-party sites, including Superfund sites, for which commitments or clean-up plans have been developed or for which costs or minimum costs can be reasonably estimated. In the opinion of the Company's management, any potential liability ultimately attributed to the Company for its environmental related matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition, liquidity or cash flow. 11 PART II. OTHER INFORMATION Item 1. Legal Proceedings Reference is made to the legal proceeding reported in the Company's Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended 12/31/93 brought by the People of the State of California ex. re. Daniel E. Lungren, Attorney General of the State of California, against the Company and its subsidiary DupliColor Products Company in the Superior Court of the State of California, County of San Francisco. On April 19, 1994, the Court approved the Settlement Agreement and on July 20, 1994, the Company paid to the people of the State of California a net civil penalty of $675,000 after adjustment for certain available credits for development costs incurred by the Company associated with the introduction of water-based aerosol products. The settlement resolves any differences between the people of the State of California, the Company and DupliColor regarding California's Proposition 65 and California's Business and Profession's Code Section 17200 as regards certain products manufactured by the Company and/or by DupliColor.
