ITEM 2.    ACQUISITION OR DISPOSITION OF ASSETS

                  Effective as of February 1, 1997, RPM, Inc. (the "Company")
acquired 100% of the issued and outstanding Common Shares of Tremco
Incorporated, an Ohio corporation ("Tremco") from The B.F.Goodrich Company
("B.F.Goodrich"). The acquisition was accomplished pursuant to a Stock Purchase
Agreement, dated as of October 21, 1996, between B.F.Goodrich and the Company
(the "Stock Purchase Agreement"), as amended by Amendment No. 1 to the Stock
Purchase Agreement, dated as of February 1, 1997, between B.F.Goodrich and the
Company (the "Amendment"). Copies of the Stock Purchase Agreement and of the
Amendment are filed as Exhibits hereto.

                  Tremco manufactures and sells roofing systems, sealants and
coatings. Tremco is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio and employs about 1,700
employees at office and manufacturing locations in the United States, Canada,
the United Kingdom, the Netherlands and Australia, with offices and joint
ventures in several other countries. The roofing systems, sealants and coatings
manufactured under the Tremco brand name are sold to customers primarily in
building, construction, building maintenance and retail markets. Tremco had
sales in 1995 of approximately $350 million.

                  As consideration for the acquisition of Tremco, the Company 
paid B.F.Goodrich approximately $230,700,000.00 in cash. The purchase price and
the other terms of the Stock Purchase Agreement were determined through 
arms-length negotiations. There are no material relationships between Tremco
and the Company or any of their affiliates, directors or officers.

                  The cash portion of the purchase price paid for Tremco by RPM
was financed under a Credit Agreement, dated as of February 1, 1997, between the
Company, certain Banks, National City Bank, N.A., as Documentation Agent, and
The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A., as Administrative Agent (the "Credit
Agreement"). A copy of the Credit Agreement is filed as an Exhibit hereto. The
principal amount advanced and paid on February 3, 1997 is subject to variable
interest rate based on the London Interbank Borrowing Rate (LIBOR) plus 37.5
basis points.

                        Report of Independent Auditors



Board of Directors
The BFGoodrich Company

We have audited the accompanying combined statement of assets to be acquired
and liabilities to be assumed of Tremco Incorporated (as defined in Note A) (a
subsidiary of The BFGoodrich Company) as of October 31, 1996, and the related
combined statements of revenues and expenses and of cash flows for the
ten-month period then ended.  These financial statements are the responsibility
of the management of Tremco Incorporated.  Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis
for our opinion.

As described in Note A, the accompanying combined financial statements were
prepared solely to present the assets to be acquired and liabilities to be
assumed pursuant to the Stock Purchase Agreement between The BFGoodrich Company
and RPM, Inc., and are not intended to be a complete presentation of the assets
and liabilities and revenues and expenses of Tremco Incorporated.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the combined assets to be acquired and liabilities to be
assumed of Tremco Incorporated (as defined in Note A) at October 31, 1996, and
its combined revenues and expenses and its combined cash flows for the
ten-month period then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.

                               TREMCO INCORPORATED

                     NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                 FOR THE TEN-MONTH PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996

                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

NOTE A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On October 21, 1996, The BFGoodrich Company ("BFG") entered into a Stock
Purchase Agreement (the "Agreement") with RPM, Inc. ("RPM") whereby RPM agreed
to purchase all of the capital stock of Tremco (as defined below), other than
certain assets and liabilities to be retained by BFG as defined in the
Agreement. The transaction is expected to close as of February 1, 1997, and the
Agreement may be amended by mutual agreement of the parties as of that date. The
accompanying financial statements include the assets, liabilities, and the
revenues and expenses of the businesses to be acquired by RPM. Those businesses
include Tremco Incorporated and the following subsidiaries of Tremco
Incorporated and certain affiliates (direct or indirect subsidiaries of BFG):
Tremco Service Corporation (U.S.); Tremco Limited (Canada); Tremco Ltd. (U.K.)
and subsidiaries; Kamia Chemical GmbH (Germany); Tremco Asia Pacific Pty.
Limited and subsidiaries (Australia); Tremco Far East Limited and subsidiary
(Hong Kong); H&P Extrusions B.V., H&P Mixings B.V. and Tremco B.V. (Holland); Oy
Tremco Ltd. Finland; Tremco A.B. (Sweden) and certain operations in Mexico and
Japan (collectively "Tremco" or the "Company"). The Company operates in the
building maintenance and construction business segment. Tremco manufactures
insulating glass sealants, construction sealants and waterproofing coatings,
commercial glazing products and commercial roofing products.

The accompanying Combined Statement of Assets To Be Acquired and Liabilities To
Be Assumed, Combined Statement of Revenues and Expenses and Combined Statement
of Cash Flows have been prepared from the historical books and records of the
Company. In accordance with the Agreement, these financial statements reflect
the net assets of the businesses to be acquired and their revenues and expenses
and cash flows. Assets and liabilities of Tremco that will not be acquired or
assumed and have no continuing significance to the businesses to be acquired
have been omitted from the Combined Statement of Assets To Be Acquired and
Liabilities To Be Assumed. Assets and liabilities to be retained by BFG
primarily consist of certain property and equipment, current and deferred income
taxes attributable to U.S. operations, liabilities for U.S. defined benefit
pension and postretirement arrangements, bank debt of Tremco Asia Pacific Pty.
Limited, and the intercompany balance with BFG.

Tremco Incorporated and its U.S. subsidiaries are included in the consolidated
federal income tax return of BFG. BFG's policy is to account for all U.S. income
taxes at the parent company level. As a result, no U.S. income tax assets or
liabilities relating to temporary differences and no income tax expense
(benefit) have been reflected in the accompanying financial statements. Foreign
income taxes have been excluded from the Combined Statement of Revenues and
Expenses for presentation purposes. The cash flow effect of accrued foreign
income taxes to be paid by foreign businesses has been included in the Combined
Statement of Cash Flows.

               NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

                              (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS)

NOTE A.  BASIS OF PRESENTATION (CONTINUED)

BFG provides various treasury functions for Tremco in the U. S. and maintains a
cash management program under which cash generated by Tremco is transferred to
BFG and working capital requirements of Tremco are paid by BFG. Incident to this
system, BFG maintains an interest-bearing intercompany account to record the net
amount owed to or due from Tremco. Interest income in the accompanying Combined
Statement of Revenues and Expenses includes the interest earned ($1.3) by Tremco
from BFG on this intercompany account balance at BFG's variable rate of
interest. The intercompany account balance with BFG is not to be acquired by RPM
and, accordingly, this balance has been excluded from the net assets at October
31, 1996.

BFG also provides certain services to the Company such as insurance and employee
benefits management, telecommunications, tax and legal, among others. Costs
charged to the Company for these services are allocated by BFG based on
management's estimates of the Company's proportionate share of the total
expenses; however, these allocations are not necessarily indicative of the
expenses that would have been incurred had Tremco been operated as a stand-alone
business. BFG allocates costs related to defined benefit pension and
postretirement plans based on actuarial valuations. Total expenses - net
allocated to the Company by BFG totaled $4.3 for the ten-month period ended
October 31, 1996 (including allocations related to defined benefit pension and
postretirement plans). Net expenses charged to the Company are not settled in
cash and become part of the intercompany account balance with BFG.

NOTE B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

PRINCIPLES OF COMBINATION

The combined financial statements reflect the accounts of Tremco (see note A).
Investments in 20 to 50 percent owned affiliates are accounted for using the
equity method. Equity in earnings (losses) from these businesses, which are not
significant, are included in Other expense-net. Intercompany accounts and
transactions have been eliminated. The operations of Tremco's foreign
operations, excluding Canada, are consolidated on a one-month time lag in order
to achieve the month-end reporting requirements of BFG.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS

Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with a maturity of three
months or less at the time of purchase.

NOTE B.  SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED)

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Certain domestic
inventories are valued by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) cost method. Inventories
not valued by the LIFO method are valued principally by the first-in, first-out
cost method.

LONG-LIVED ASSETS

Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Depreciation and
amortization is principally computed by either the straight-line method or the
sum-of-the-years digits method over the following estimated useful lives:
buildings and improvements, 15 to 40 years; machinery and equipment, 3 to 15
years. Repair and maintenance costs are expensed as incurred.

Tremco was acquired by BFG in 1979. Goodwill was recorded for the excess of the
purchase price over the fair value of the net tangible assets and identifiable
intangible assets acquired, and is being amortized using the straight-line
method over 40 years. Goodwill also includes the excess of the purchase price
over the fair value of the net assets of businesses acquired by Tremco since
1979 and is being amortized by the straight-line method over 10 to 20 years.

Identifiable intangible assets are recorded at cost, or when acquired as a part
of a business combination, at estimated fair value. These assets include
trademarks, patents and other technology agreements and licenses. They are
amortized using the straight-line method over estimated useful lives of 5 to 40
years.

Impairment of long-lived assets and related goodwill is recognized when events
or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the asset, or
related groups of assets, may not be recoverable. Measurement of the amount of
impairment may be based on appraisal, market values of similar assets or
estimated discounted future cash flows resulting from use and ultimate
disposition of the asset.

REVENUE RECOGNITION

The Company recognizes revenues from sale of products at the point of passage of
title, which is at the time of shipment. Revenues earned from providing services
are recognized when the service is performed. Revenues from warranties
separately purchased by customers are recognized over an average warranty period
of approximately ten years, on a straight-line basis.

FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

The Company's significant financial instruments recorded in the Combined
Statement of Assets To Be Acquired and Liabilities To Be Assumed include cash
and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and short-term bank
debt. Because of their short maturity, the carrying amount of these financial
instruments approximates fair value.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that
affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

NOTE C.  FINANCING ARRANGEMENTS

SHORT-TERM BANK DEBT

At October 31, 1996, the Company had available unused formal foreign lines of
credit and overdraft facilities of $9.2.

LONG-TERM DEBT

Long-term debt represents notes payable to foreign banks. Notes payable to banks
consist of fixed rate instruments which have principal maturing through 2015.
Fixed interest rates on all notes payable to banks range from 7.6 percent to
12.5 percent.

NOTE E.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS

PENSION PLANS

Substantially all U.S. employees of the Company are participants in BFG's
defined benefit pension plan. BFG allocates pension costs to the Company based
on actuarial valuations. Pension expense of $0.9 was allocated to the Company
during the ten-month period ended October 31, 1996.

In addition, Tremco has several contributory and noncontributory defined benefit
pension plans covering employees outside the U.S., principally in Canada. Plans
generally provide benefit payments using a formula that is based on an
employee's compensation and length of service.

Accumulated benefits and related assets for Tremco's Canadian defined benefit
pension plan as of December 31, 1996, the most recent valuation date, are as
follows:

Actuarial present value of accumulated benefit obligation:

NOTE E.  EMPLOYEE BENEFIT PLANS (CONTINUED)

The major assumptions used in the December 31, 1996 actuarial valuation for the
Canadian pension plan are as follows: discount rate - 8.25 percent; rate of
increase in compensation levels - 4.5 percent; expected long-term rate of return
on plan assets - 9 percent. The plan's assets consist principally of investments
in mutual funds invested in equities, debt and real estate.

The components of net periodic pension income of ($0.1) for the Canadian plan
for the ten-month period ended October 31, 1996 are: service cost - $0.4;
interest cost - $1.0; actual return on plan assets - ($2.6); net amortization -
$1.1.

Prepaid pension cost of $1.8 is reflected in the Combined Statement of Assets To
Be Acquired and Liabilities To Be Assumed at October 31, 1996.

SAVINGS PLAN

The Company also sponsors an unfunded defined contribution plan for employees of
Tremco Canada. Amounts credited to participant's accounts are based on a
percentage of the amount employees contribute to other plans. During the
ten-month period ended October 31, 1996, the Company expensed $0.3, including
interest. A non-current liability of $3.0 is reflected in the Combined Statement
of Assets To Be Acquired and Liabilities To Be Assumed.

The Company also participates in a BFG defined contribution savings plan, which
covers most U.S. salaried employees of the Company. The Company matches from
three to six percent of eligible earnings depending upon investment options
elected. For the ten-month period ended October 31, 1996, Company contributions
amounted to $2.1 under this plan.

OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS

The Company's U.S. employees participate in a BFG defined benefit postretirement
plan that provides certain health-care and life insurance benefits to eligible
employees. The health-care plan is contributory, with retiree contributions
adjusted periodically, and contain other cost-sharing features, such as
deductibles and coinsurance. The life insurance plan is generally
noncontributory. Net periodic postretirement benefit expense for the ten-month
period ended October 31, 1996, allocated to the Company was $0.6.

NOTE F.  GEOGRAPHIC INFORMATION

The Company's operations are principally in the United States, Canada and
Europe. Sales are not concentrated in any one customer. The Company does not
believe that business risks in countries in which it operates, including
currency restrictions, could have a significant adverse effect on cash flow,
liquidity or capital resources.

Net assets of consolidated foreign subsidiaries amounted to $70.3 (including
$13.6 of cash and cash equivalents) at October 31, 1996.

The Company also exports products manufactured in the United States to
affiliated and unaffiliated companies worldwide. Intercompany transfers made at
prevailing prices to foreign subsidiaries amounted to $6.0 for the ten-month
period ended October 31, 1996. Export sales to unaffiliated foreign customers
amounted to $1.0 for the ten-month period ended October 31, 1996.

contingencies, if any, are recognized when realized.
