The merger has been accounted for as a pooling of interests. Accordingly, historical financial data presented in this report has been restated to include the accounts and transactions of TCI, Inc. as though TCI were acquired as of June 1, 1994. The following table reconciles combined net sales, net income and earnings per share of the separate companies for the nine months ended February 28, 1995.

AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF --------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION --------------------------------------------- NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 ----------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS - --------------------- The Company acquired TCI, Inc., a leading manufacturer of powder coatings with annual sales of approximately $20 million, on January 12, 1996 on a pooling of interests basis. Prior year results have been restated to reflect this pooling (refer to Note C for additional details). Although TCI is expected to have neutral results this year, it should produce positive results in 1997 and beyond. The Company's sales increased 10% the first nine months of this year and 9% in the third quarter, compared with last year. Acquisitions, primarily those of Rust-Oleum Corporation on June 28, 1994, and Dryvit Systems, Inc. on September 21, 1995, accounted for approximately two-thirds of these increases. Existing operations generated the remaining sales growth from a combination of pricing adjustments that have averaged less than 3% year-to-year and slightly higher unit volume. Exchange rate differences and small product line additions had a slightly positive effect on sales this year over last. A slight gross profit margin decline during the third quarter caused this margin to be slightly behind last year's level after the first nine months. The acquisitions tended to somewhat strengthen this margin, but did not overcome the effects of increases in material costs, especially among the consumer product lines. Management continues to make every effort to effectively negate raw material and packaging cost increases through the leverage of combined purchasing of significant materials, pricing adjustments, and product reformulations. As indicated last quarter, the Company has initiated an expense reduction campaign in consideration of the slower than planned sales growth. The positive effects of this campaign were evident during this past quarter as the Company's selling, general and administrative expenses were a lower percentage of sales than the third quarter a year ago, with the nine month levels equal relative to sales. This improvement was despite the fact that Dryvit, with its unfavorable seasonality during the Company's third quarter plus its related acquisition costs, had a slight negative impact on the quarter. The increase in interest expense after nine months reflects primarily the indebtedness associated with Rust-Oleum, Dryvit and other acquisitions with the balance attributable to comparatively higher interest rates and the LYONs interest accretion. Debt reductions of approximately $29 million during the past year and slightly higher interest income reduced net interest expense comparatively. 10 10 RPM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF --------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION --------------------------------------------- NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 ----------------------------------- The tax attributes of the TCI acquisition had historically passed through to its respective shareholders. Consequently, on a restatement basis, last year's provision for income taxes shows a lower percentage of pre-tax income than this year's mainly from the effects of this pooling, plus the tax treatment of certain acquisition related expenses this year. The Company's foreign sales and results of operations are impacted by currency fluctuations. Since most of the Company's foreign operations are in Belgium, and since the Belgian franc has been a fairly stable currency in relation to the majority of other currencies in which those operations conduct their business, this effect has been minimal. In addition, foreign debt is denominated in the respective foreign currency, thereby eliminating the exchange impact on earnings. The Company's earnings per share this year are affected by the averaging of Company shares issued in connection with the Dryvit acquisition (more fully described below). All previously reported per share data have been restated to reflect the 25% stock dividend issued December 8, 1995, and treated as a 5-for-4 stock split. CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY - ------------------------------- CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATIONS Cash flow from operations continues to be the primary source of financing the Company's internal growth. The Company generated cash from operations of $63.4 million during the first nine months, down slightly from $64.3 million a year ago. There had been a significant one-time reduction of working capital at Rust-Oleum upon its acquisition in June 1994, without which cash generation from operations this year would have exceeded that of last year. INVESTING ACTIVITIES The Company's capital expenditures generally do not exceed depreciation and amortization in a given year. The Company invested $45.8 million in the purchase of Dryvit and several smaller businesses this year, net of cash acquired. The Company historically has acquired complementary businesses and this trend is expected to continue. 11 11 RPM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES -------------------------- MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF --------------------------------------- RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION --------------------------------------------- NINE MONTHS ENDED FEBRUARY 29, 1996 ----------------------------------- FINANCING ACTIVITIES On June 15, 1995, the Company issued and sold $150 million (aggregate principal) of 7% Senior Unsecured Notes due 2005. The total net proceeds of this offering were used to reduce the $190 million balance of the Company's $300 million revolving credit agreement to $40 million. The Company has since reduced its revolving credit facility to $150 million and extended its final maturity to 2000. The Company completed the acquisition of Dryvit Systems, Inc. on September 21, 1995 for approximately $32 million in cash, the retirement of approximately $14.5 million of Dryvit's existing long-term debt, and the issuance of 4 million (restated for 12/08/95 stock split) Company shares. The Company's revolving credit facility was utilized for the cash and debt retirement portions of this transaction. This instrument had an outstanding balance of $92 million at February 29, 1996, having been reduced by over $19 million so far this year, net of the uses of this facility for acquisitions. As a result of primarily the share issuance to acquire Dryvit, the Company's debt capital ratio improved to 51% from 54% at May 31, 1995. Working capital increased to $280 million from $272 million at May 31, 1995, with the current ratio improving to 2.9:1 from 2.8:1. The Company maintains excellent relations with its banks and other financial institutions to further enable the financing of future growth opportunities. 12 12 RPM, INC.

AND SUBSIDIARIES ITEM 3 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - --------------------------- As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 1995, and as updated in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended August 31, 1995 and November 30, 1995, Bondex International, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company ("Bondex") was named one of numerous corporate defendants in 401 then pending asbestos-related bodily injury lawsuits filed on behalf of various individuals in various jurisdictions in the United States. Subsequently, an additional 21 such cases were filed and 6 such cases were dismissed with prejudice pursuant to voluntary dismissals by plaintiffs, or dismissals pursuant to summary judgment based upon the inability of the plaintiffs involved to produce evidence of exposure to or use of any Bondex asbestos-containing product. Bondex continues to deny liability in all 416 cases that remain pending and continues to vigorously defend them. Under a cost-sharing agreement among Bondex and its insurers effected in February, 1994, the insurers pay the bulk of defense costs and indemnity payments, if any, in connection with asbestos litigation and Bondex is responsible for the balance. Dryvit Systems, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the company ("Dryvit"), has been named as a co-defendant in six separate but related attempted class action lawsuits: TODD, ET AL. V. DRYVIT ET AL., filed in U.S. District Court in North Carolina; CA No. 7-95-CV- 188F(1); RUFF ET AL., V. DRYVIT, ET AL., filed in the Superior Court in North Carolina; CA No. 96CVS-0059; HANDFIELD ET AL., V. DRYVIT ET AL., filed in U.S. District Court in South Carolina; CA No. 2:96-207-21; EDMONDSON ET AL., V. DRYVIT ET AL., filed in the U.S. District Court in North Carolina; CA No. 5:96-CV-130-F2; BAKER V. DRYVIT, ET AL., filed in U.S. District Court in North Carolina; CA No. 7:96CV-38-BR-3; and MORGAN V. DRYVIT, ET AL., filed in U.S. District Court in Northern Florida; CA No. 4:96CV127MP. The suits attempt to certify classes comprised of owners of structures clad with products manufactured by Dryvit or other similarly situated manufacturers. Several of the suits limit the attempted class members to owners of residential structures constructed since January 1, 1986, while others attempt to incorporate all such structures, commercial and residential, constructed since 1969. All of the suits allege that the Dryvit cladding, known as EIFS (Exterior Insulation Finish System), is defective because it allegedly traps moisture inside the wall assembly, resulting in damage to the structure. The EIFS are not alleged to be the source of the moisture. The suits allege damages in excess of Fifty Thousand Dollars ($50,000) per individual class member. All of the cases are in the preliminary discovery stage. Class certification will be vigorously contested in each case. However, in the RUFF state court case, the court initially certified the class EX PARTE, and without notice to the defendants. The defendants, including Dryvit, have appealed that decision, and have secured a stay of the class certification, pending the appeal. 14 14 RPM, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES Dryvit has denied the allegations of the various complaints and will vigorously defend them. Dryvit and its co-defendants, to the extent deemed necessary and appropriate, will also attempt to have these matters consolidated. Dryvit's defense has been assumed under reservation of rights by a group of its insurance carriers. Dryvit historically has maintained primary and excess liability coverage and believes it is adequately insured with respect to these matters.
