(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.

RPM, INC. By: /s/ Paul A. Granzier ----------------------------------- Paul A. Granzier Vice President, Secretary and General Counsel Date: February 18, 1997 4 5 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. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP ---------------------------- Ernst & Young LLP Cleveland, Ohio January 22, 1997 6 TREMCO INCORPORATED COMBINED STATEMENT OF ASSETS TO BE ACQUIRED AND LIABILITIES TO BE ASSUMED OCTOBER 31, 1996 (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Current assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 13.8 Accounts receivable, less allowance for doubtful accounts of $2.0 55.7 Inventory 31.2 Other current assets 2.2 -------- Total current assets 102.9 Property, plant and equipment - net 62.6 Goodwill - net 28.8 Identifiable intangible assets - net 0.8 Other assets 5.5 -------- Total assets 200.6 -------- Current liabilities: Short-term bank debt 0.7 Accounts payable 26.8 Accrued expenses 21.2 Accrued product warranties 5.5 Foreign income taxes payable 3.1 -------- Total current liabilities 57.3 Long-term debt 0.5 Deferred warranty revenue 8.5 Accrued product warranties 6.4 Other non-current liabilities 8.9 -------- Total liabilities 81.6 -------- Net assets $ 119.0 ======== See notes to financial statements. - 1 - 7 TREMCO INCORPORATED COMBINED STATEMENT OF REVENUES AND EXPENSES FOR THE TEN-MONTH PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996 (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) Net sales $285.4 Operating costs and expenses: Cost of sales 159.4 Selling and administrative expenses 104.2 ----- 263.6 ----- Operating income 21.8 Other income (expense): Interest expense (0.6) Interest income 1.7 Other expense-net (0.3) ----- Income Before Income Taxes $22.6 ===== See notes to financial statements. - 2 - 8 TREMCO INCORPORATED COMBINED STATEMENT OF CASH FLOWS FOR THE TEN-MONTH PERIOD ENDED OCTOBER 31, 1996 (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) [S] [C] Operating Activities Income before income taxes $ 22.6 Adjustments to reconcile income before income taxes to net cash provided by operating activities: Depreciation and amortization 8.9 Foreign income taxes (5.3) Changes in assets and liabilities: Accounts receivable (13.6) Inventory (3.5) Other current assets (.7) Accounts payable 4.1 Accrued expenses 1.2 Other - net 1.7 ------- Net cash provided by operating activities 15.4 Investing Activities Purchases of property, plant and equipment (6.8) Proceeds from sale of property, plant and equipment .5 ------- Net cash used by investing activities (6.3) Financing Activities Changes in short-term bank debt (.8) Repayment of long-term debt (.2) Intercompany transactions with BFGoodrich - net (18.8) ------- Net cash used by financing activities (19.8) Effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents .2 ------- Net decrease in cash and cash equivalents (10.5) Cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period 24.3 ------- Cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 13.8 ======= Supplemental cash flow information: Interest paid (net of amount capitalized) $ 0.6 ======= See notes to financial statements. - 3 - 9 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. - 4 - 10 TREMCO INCORPORATED 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. - 5 - 11 TREMCO INCORPORATED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 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. - 6 - 12 TREMCO INCORPORATED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) NOTE B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES (CONTINUED) 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. - 7 - 13 TREMCO INCORPORATED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) NOTE D. LEASE COMMITMENTS The Company leases certain of its office and manufacturing facilities as well as machinery and equipment under operating leases. The future minimum lease payments, by year and in the aggregate, under noncancelable operating leases with initial or remaining noncancelable lease terms in excess of one year, consisted of the following: 1997 $2.2 1998 1.6 1999 1.1 2000 0.9 2001 0.7 Thereafter 2.9 ---- Total minimum payments $9.4 ==== Net rent expense for the ten-month period ended October 31, 1996, consisted of the following: Minimum rentals $2.4 Contingent rentals 0.8 ---- $3.2 ==== - 8- 14 TREMCO INCORPORATED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 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: Vested $ 12.1 Non-vested -- ------- Accumulated benefit obligation 12.1 Plan assets at fair value 20.8 ------- Plan assets in excess of accumulated benefit obligation $ 8.7 ------- Projected benefit obligation $ 14.0 Plan assets at fair value 20.8 ------- Plan assets in excess of projected benefit obligation $ 6.8 ======= Consisting of: Unrecognized transition asset $ 0.6 Unrecognized prior service cost (0.5) Unrecognized net gain 5.2 Prepaid pension cost at December 31, 1996 1.5 ------- Total $ 6.8 ======= - 9 - 15 TREMCO INCORPORATED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) 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. - 10 - 16 TREMCO INCORPORATED NOTES TO COMBINED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED) (DOLLARS IN MILLIONS) NOTE E.

A non-current liability of $3.7 is reflected in the Combined Statement of Assets To Be Acquired and Liabilities To Be Assumed. 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 is also involved in legal proceedings as a plaintiff involving contract and other matters. Gain contingencies, if any, are recognized when realized. - 14 -
