                          Independent Auditor's Report
                          ----------------------------



The Board of Directors and
  Shareholders
RPM, Inc.
Medina, Ohio


         We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of RPM,
Inc. and Subsidiaries as of May 31, 1994 and 1993, and the related consolidated
statements of income, shareholders' equity and cash flows for each of the years
in the three year period ended May 31, 1994.  These consolidated financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.  Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial
statements based on our audits.

         We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement.  An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements.  An audit
also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant
estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial
statement presentation.  We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

         In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to
above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RPM,
Inc. and Subsidiaries at May 31, 1994 and 1993, and the results of their
operations and their cash flows for each of the years in the three year period
ended May 31, 1994, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- - ---------------------------------------------------
         (1)     Principles of Consolidation

                 The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of
                 RPM, Inc. and its wholly owned domestic and foreign
                 subsidiaries.  The Company accounts for its investment in less
                 than majority owned joint ventures under the equity method.
                 Intercompany accounts, transactions and unrealized profits and
                 losses are eliminated in consolidation.

                 Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year amounts
                 to conform with the current year presentation.

         (2)     Business Combinations

                 On June 8, 1993, the Company acquired all the outstanding
                 shares of Dynatron/Bondo Corporation in exchange for 2,118,000
                 shares of the Company's common stock.  Dynatron/Bondo
                 Corporation, located in Atlanta, Georgia, is a manufacturer of
                 auto and marine body filler and related products.

                 On October 26, 1993, the Company acquired all the outstanding
                 shares of Stonhard, Inc. in exchange for 3,560,000 shares of
                 the Company's common stock.  Stonhard, Inc., located in Maple
                 Shade, New Jersey, is a manufacturer of polymer-based
                 floorings, linings and construction products.

                 Both acquisitions have been accounted for as poolings of
                 interests.  Accordingly, historical financial data presented
                 in this report has been restated to include the accounts and
                 transactions of Dynatron/Bondo Corporation and Stonhard, Inc.
                 as though both were acquired as of June 1, 1991.  The
                 following table reconciles combined net sales and net income
                 of the separate companies for the two years ended May 31, 1993
                 and the six months ended November 30, 1993:

         (2)     Business Combinations - Continued

                 In addition, during the two year period ended May 31, 1994,
                 the Company completed several acquisitions accounted for by
                 the purchase method of accounting.

                 The difference of approximately $2,200,000 between the fair
                 value of net assets acquired and the primarily cash purchase
                 consideration of $14,300,000 has been allocated to goodwill.
                 The assets, liabilities and operating results of these
                 companies are reflected in the Company's financial statements
                 from their respective dates of acquisition forward.

                 The following data summarizes, on an unaudited pro-forma
                 basis, the combined results of operations of the Company and
                 the businesses acquired accounted for by the purchase method
                 of accounting for the year ended May 31, 1993.  These
                 pro-forma amounts give effect to appropriate adjustments
                 resulting from the combination, but are not necessarily
                 indicative of future results of operations or of what results
                 would have been for the combined companies:

                 There were no significant acquisitions accounted for by the
                 purchase method of accounting during the year ended May 31,
                 1994, therefore pro-forma amounts are not presented.

         (3)     Foreign Currency

                 For the periods presented, assets and liabilities have been
                 translated using exchange rates prevailing at year end.
                 Income and expense for the periods have been translated using
                 an average exchange rate.  The resulting translation
                 adjustments have been recorded in shareholders' equity and
                 will be included in net earnings only upon the sale or
                 liquidation of the underlying foreign investment, which is not
                 contemplated at this time.  Transaction gains and losses have
                 been immaterial during the past three fiscal years.

         (4)     Marketable Securities

                 Marketable securities are included in the accompanying
                 consolidated balance sheets at cost, which approximates market.

                 being determined substantially on a first-in, first-out (FIFO)
                 basis and market being determined on the basis of replacement
                 cost or net realizable value.  Inventory costs include raw
                 material, labor and manufacturing overhead.  Inventories were
                 composed of the following major classes:

         (6)     Depreciation

                 Depreciation is computed over the estimated useful lives of
                 the assets primarily using the straight-line method.  The
                 annual depreciation rates are based on the following ranges of
                 useful lives:

                     Land improvements                          5 to 25 years
                     Buildings and improvements                10 to 50 years
                     Machinery and equipment                    3 to 20 years

         (7)     Income Taxes

                 The Company and its wholly owned domestic subsidiaries file a
                 consolidated federal income tax return.  The tax effects of
                 transactions are recognized in the year in which they enter
                 into the determination of net income, regardless of when they
                 are recognized for tax purposes.  As a result, income tax
                 expense differs from actual taxes payable.  The accumulation
                 of these differences at May 31, 1994, is shown as a noncurrent
                 liability of $4,533,000 ($5,896,000 at May 31, 1993).  The
                 Company does not intend to distribute the accumulated earnings
                 of consolidated foreign subsidiaries amounting to $22,234,000
                 at May 31, 1994, and $10,533,000 at May 31, 1993, and
                 therefore no provision has been made for the taxes which would
                 result if such earnings were remitted to the Company.

         (8)     Interest Expense, Net

                 Interest expense is shown net of investment income which
                 consists primarily of interest and dividends.  Investment
                 income for the three years ended May 31, 1994 was $856,000,
                 $1,317,000 and $935,000, respectively.

         (9)     Research and Development

                 Research and development costs are charged to operations when
                 incurred and are included in operating expenses.  The amounts
                 charged for the three years ended May 31, 1994, were
                 $11,081,000, $9,952,000 and $9,119,000, respectively.  The
                 customer sponsored portion of such expenditures was not
                 significant.

NOTE D - COMMON SHARES
- - ----------------------
       There are 100,000,000 common shares authorized with a stated value of
       $.023 per share.  At May 31, 1994 and 1993, there were 56,751,000 and
       53,000,000 shares outstanding respectively, each of which is entitled to
       one vote.  See Consolidated Statements of Shareholders' Equity for more
       information.  Share data for May 31, 1993 and May 31, 1992, has been
       restated to reflect the acquisitions of Dynatron/Bondo Corporation and
       Stonhard, Inc. in which 5,678,000 common shares were exchanged for all
       of the outstanding shares of the acquired companies in transactions
       accounted for as poolings of interests.

       Earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common
       shares and common share equivalents outstanding during each year
       (56,717,000 in 1994, 53,267,000 in 1993 and 52,790,000 in 1992).  In
       computing such average number of shares outstanding, the number of
       common shares was increased by common stock options with exercisable
       prices lower than the average market prices of common shares during each
       year and reduced by the number of shares assumed to have been purchased
       with the proceeds from the exercise of the options.

       The Company has options outstanding under two stock option plans, the
       1979 Nonqualified Stock Option Plan, which, prior to its expiration in
       September 1989, provided for the granting of options for up to 1,683,000
       shares, and the 1989 Stock Option Plan, which provides for the granting
       of options for up to 2,813,000 shares at a price equal to the fair
       market value at the date of grant.  These options are exercisable
       cumulatively in equal annual installments commencing one year from the
       grant date and have expiration dates ranging from February 1996 to
       October 2003.  At May 31, 1994, 1,795,000 shares (2,051,000 at May 31,
       1993) were available for future grant.

       Transactions during the two years are summarized as follows:

NOTE E - INTANGIBLES
- - --------------------
       The excess of cost over the underlying value of the net assets of
       companies acquired is being amortized on the straight-line basis,
       primarily over forty years.  Amortization expense charged to operations
       for the three years ended May 31, 1994 was $3,688,000, $3,265,000 and
       $3,070,000, respectively.  Cost of businesses over net assets acquired

       ($16,316,000 at May 31, 1993).

       The cost of formulas, trademarks and other intangibles acquired are
       being amortized on the straight-line basis over their estimated lives,
       ranging generally from ten to forty years.  Amortization expense charged
       to operations for the three years ended May 31, 1994, was $1,142,000,
       $1,960,000 and $1,596,000, respectively.  Intangibles are shown net of

NOTE F - LEASES
- - ---------------
       At May 31, 1994, certain property, plant and equipment were leased by
       the Company under long-term leases.  Certain of these leases provide for
       increased rental based upon an increase in the cost-of-living index.
       Future minimum lease commitments as of May 31, 1994, for all
       noncancellable leases are as follows:

       insignificant for the three year period ended May 31, 1994.

NOTE G - RETIREMENT PLANS
- - -------------------------
       To provide uniform retirement income for its non-union employees, the
       Company has a defined benefit retirement plan in which substantially all
       non-union employees participate.  The Retirement Plan is a
       non-contributory plan fully paid for by the Company, with accrued
       benefits vesting after five years of service.  This plan provides
       benefits that are based on years of service and average compensation.
       Benefits for union employees are provided by separate plans and are
       generally based on years of service.  The Company's funding policy is to
       contribute annually an amount that can be deducted for federal income
       tax purposes using a different actuarial cost method and different
       assumptions from these used for financial reporting.

       used in determining the actuarial present value of the projected benefit
       obligations were 7.5% (8.5% for May 31, 1993) and 5%, respectively.  The
       expected long-term rate of return on assets was 8.5% (8.0% for May 31,
       1993 and 1992).  The plans' assets consist primarily of stocks, bonds

NOTE H - POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS
- - --------------------------------------------
       In addition to the defined benefit pension plan, the Company also
       provides health care benefits to certain of its retired employees
       through unfunded plans.  Employees become eligible for these benefits if
       they meet minimum age and service requirements.  The Company elected to
       recognize its transition obligation upon adoption of SFAS No. 106 in
       1993.  The components of this expense for the years ended May 31, 1994
       and May 31, 1993 were as follows:

       An 8% discount rate was used in determining the accumulated
       postretirement benefit obligation.  A 13% increase in the cost of
       covered health care benefits was assumed for fiscal 1994.  This rate is
       assumed to decrease incrementally to 6% after several years and remain
       at that level thereafter except for various union plans which will cap
       at alternate benefit levels.  An 1% increase in the health care costs
       trend rate would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit
       obligation as of May 31, 1994 by $151,000 and the net postretirement
       expense by $12,000.


NOTE I - CONTINGENCIES
- - ----------------------
       The Company is a party to various legal and environmental actions which
       have arisen in the ordinary course of business.  Environmental
       expenditures caused by current or past operations are expensed while
       expenditures relating to future operations are capitalized.  The Company
       records liabilities when costs are probable and can be reasonably
       estimated.  In the opinion of management, the ultimate disposition of
       these matters will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
       consolidated financial position or results of operations.

         Quarterly earnings per share do not total to the earnings per share
         due to the weighted average number of shares outstanding in each
         quarter.

NOTE L - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
- - --------------------------
         On June 28, 1994, the Company acquired all the outstanding shares of
         Rust-Oleum Corporation for $176,500,000 in cash.  Rust-Oleum
         manufactures and markets primarily rust-preventative coatings for the
         consumer market.  This acquisition will be accounted for by the
         purchase method of accounting and the difference of $85,000,000
         between the fair value of net assets acquired and the purchase
         consideration will be allocated to goodwill.  The Company's financial
         statements will reflect the assets, liabilities and operating results
         of Rust-Oleum from the date of acquisition forward.

         Pro-forma amounts as if Rust-Oleum had been acquired on June 1, 1992,
         are as follows:

In connection with our examination of the consolidated financial statements 
of RPM, Inc. and Subsidiaries at May 31, 1994 and May 31, 1993, and for each 
of the three years in the period ended May 31, 1994 which report thereon 
dated July 8, 1994 is incorporated by reference in this Annual Report
on Form 10-K, we also examined the financial statement schedules listed in the
accompanying index at Item 14(a)(2).  In our opinion, these financial statement
schedules present fairly, when read in conjunction with the related
consolidated financial statements, the financial data required to be set forth
