MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
---------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997
----------------------------------
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
SALES WERE AHEAD 26% AND EARNINGS WERE AHEAD 18% IN THE FIRST QUARTER
COMPARED TO LAST YEAR.
THE TREMCO ACQUISITION ON FEBRUARY 1, 1997, AND SEVERAL SMALLER
ACQUISITIONS AND JOINT VENTURES, NET OF SEVERAL DIVESTITURES, ACCOUNTED FOR
NEARLY 90% OF THE FIRST QUARTER'S SALES INCREASE. EXISTING OPERATIONS
GENERATED THE REMAINING SALES GROWTH, MOSTLY AMONG THE INDUSTRIAL LINES.
THE UPS STRIKE DURING THE QUARTER PREVENTED A NUMBER OF OPERATIONS FROM
FULFILLING CERTAIN SHIPPING OBLIGATIONS IN A TIMELY FASHION DURING THAT
PERIOD OF TIME. IN ADDITION, CONSUMER OPERATIONS SHOWED THE EFFECTS OF A
GENERALLY SLOWER RETAIL MARKET DURING THE QUARTER, BELIEVED TO BE A TIMING
ISSUE AS OPPOSED TO A TREND. THE INTERNAL SALES GROWTH WAS ESSENTIALLY FROM
HIGHER UNIT VOLUME, AS PRICES HAVE BEEN FAIRLY STEADY YEAR-TO-YEAR.
EXCHANGE RATE DIFFERENCES HAD A SLIGHT, NEGATIVE EFFECT ON SALES THIS
QUARTER VERSUS A YEAR AGO AND, WITH THE DOLLAR CONTINUING TO STRENGTHEN,
THIS TREND WILL MOST LIKELY CONTINUE.
THE GROSS PROFIT MARGIN STRENGTHENED TO 44.4% FROM 43.3% A YEAR AGO. TREMCO
CARRIES COMPARATIVELY HIGHER MARGINS AND ACCOUNTS FOR THE DIFFERENCE, WHILE
EXISTING OPERATIONS EXPERIENCED SOMEWHAT NEGATIVE EFFECTS FROM THE LOWER
THAN PLANNED SALES VOLUME, AND A SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT PRODUCT MIX THAN
PLANNED.
SELLING, GENERAL AND ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES INCREASED TO 30.2% OF SALES
FROM 28.4% A YEAR AGO. TREMCO AGAIN ACCOUNTS FOR THIS DIFFERENCE, HAVING
TYPICALLY HIGHER COSTS IN THIS CATEGORY, ALONG WITH ACQUISITION RELATED
EXPENSES. THE COMPANY ALSO CONTINUED ITS PLANNED INCREASES IN PROMOTIONAL
AND CERTAIN OTHER SPENDING TO FURTHER THE COMPANY'S GROWTH.
INCREASED INTEREST EXPENSE REFLECTS THE ACQUISITION RELATED INDEBTEDNESS
ASSOCIATED WITH TREMCO, CSI (JUNE '96) AND OTHER SMALLER ACQUISITIONS, PLUS
NON-CASH INTEREST ACCRETION. REDUCTION OF DEBT THROUGHOUT THE PAST YEAR AND
SLIGHTLY LOWER INTEREST RATES BETWEEN YEARS, REDUCED NET INTEREST EXPENSE
COMPARATIVELY.
AS EXPECTED, FIRST QUARTER SALES AND EARNINGS WERE POSITIVELY IMPACTED BY
THE STRONG SEASONAL OPERATIONS OF TREMCO DURING THIS PERIOD. TREMCO IS
EXPECTED TO HAVE AN ADDITIVE EFFECT ON 1998 RESULTS WITH INCREASING
CONTRIBUTIONS TO SALES AND EARNINGS IN FUTURE FISCAL YEARS.
THE COMPANY'S FOREIGN SALES AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS ARE SUBJECT TO THE
IMPACT OF FOREIGN CURRENCY FLUCTUATIONS. AS MOST OF THE COMPANY'S FOREIGN
OPERATIONS ARE IN

---------------------------------------------
THREE MONTHS ENDED AUGUST 31, 1997
----------------------------------
COUNTRIES WITH A FAIRLY STABLE CURRENCY, SUCH AS BELGIUM AND CANADA, THIS
EFFECT HAS BEEN MINIMAL. IN ADDITION, FOREIGN DEBT IS DENOMINATED IN THE
RESPECTIVE FOREIGN CURRENCY, THEREBY ELIMINATING ANY RELATED TRANSLATION
IMPACT ON EARNINGS. SHOULD THE DOLLAR CONTINUE TO STRENGTHEN, THE COMPANY'S
FOREIGN RESULTS OF OPERATIONS WILL BE NEGATIVELY IMPACTED; TO DATE, THE
EFFECT HAS BEEN MINIMAL. THE COMPANY DOES NOT CURRENTLY HEDGE AGAINST THE
RISK OF EXCHANGE RATE FLUCTUATIONS.
CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY
- -------------------------------
CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATIONS
THE COMPANY GENERATED CASH FROM OPERATIONS OF $53 MILLION DURING THE FIRST
QUARTER, INCLUDING THE COLLECTION OF A $24 MILLION RECEIVABLE AT MAY 31,
1997 ASSOCIATED WITH THE SALE OF A BUSINESS. THE BALANCE OF THE CHANGE IN
CASH FLOW COMPARED TO LAST YEAR IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO TREMCO AND ITS
SEASONALITY, CERTAIN GROWTH RELATED INCREASES IN WORKING CAPITAL, AND A
NUMBER OF TIMING DIFFERENCES. CASH FLOW FROM OPERATIONS CONTINUES TO BE THE
PRIMARY SOURCE OF FINANCING THE COMPANY'S INTERNAL GROWTH.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES
THE COMPANY IS NOT CAPITAL INTENSIVE, BUT DOES INVEST IN CAPITAL PRIMARILY
TO ACCOMMODATE THE COMPANY'S CONTINUED GROWTH THROUGH IMPROVED PRODUCTION
AND DISTRIBUTION EFFICIENCY AND CAPACITY, AND TO ENHANCE ADMINISTRATION.
SUCH EXPENDITURES GENERALLY DO NOT EXCEED DEPRECIATION AND AMORTIZATION IN
A GIVEN YEAR.
THE COMPANY COMPLETED THE SALE OF TREMCO'S INSULATING GLASS UNIT AND AUTO
GLASS DIVISION DURING THE QUARTER FOR A NET AMOUNT OF $107.5 MILLION.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES
THE $131.5 MILLION NET PROCEEDS FROM THE SALES OF BUSINESSES MENTIONED
ABOVE WERE USED TO REDUCE THE COMPANY'S LONG-TERM DEBT DURING THE FIRST
QUARTER, ALONG WITH $9 MILLION OF ADDITIONAL DEBT REDUCTION THROUGH
INTERNAL CASH GENERATION, NET OF $2 MILLION NON-CASH INTEREST ACCRETION
ADDED TO LONG-TERM DEBT. THE DIFFERENCE IS TRANSLATION RELATED. THE DEBT
REDUCTIONS WERE THROUGH THE COMPANY'S REVOLVING CREDIT FACILITY, WHICH HAD
AN OUTSTANDING BALANCE OF $282 MILLION AT AUGUST 31, 1997.
AS A RESULT OF THESE TRANSACTIONS, THE COMPANY HAS A DEBT-TO-CAPITAL RATIO
OF 56%, COMPARED TO 62% AT MAY 31, 1997, WHILE INTEREST COVERAGE IS FIVE

BASIS AND SIX TIMES ON A CASH BASIS. ON A FULLY DILUTED BASIS, WHICH
ASSUMES CONVERSION OF THE ZERO-COUPON ISSUE, THE COMPANY'S DEBT-TO-CAPITAL
RATIO WOULD BE FURTHER REDUCED TO ONLY 40%.
WORKING CAPITAL DECREASED, AS WELL, TO $363 MILLION FROM $479 MILLION AT
MAY 31, 1997, $131.5 MILLION OF THIS DIFFERENCE ALSO ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE
PROCEEDS FROM SALES OF BUSINESSES DISCUSSED ABOVE BEING USED TO REDUCE
LONG-TERM DEBT. THE CURRENT RATIO MOVED TO 2.5:1 FROM 3.0:1, RESPECTIVELY.
THE STRONGER DOLLAR EFFECT ON THE COMPANY'S FOREIGN NET ASSETS HAS TENDED
TO REDUCE SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY AND THIS TREND COULD CONTINUE AS THE DOLLAR
CONTINUES TO STRENGTHEN AND THESE NET ASSETS CONTINUE TO GROW.
THE COMPANY MAINTAINS EXCELLENT RELATIONS WITH ITS BANKS AND OTHER
FINANCIAL INSTITUTIONS TO FURTHER ENABLE THE FINANCING OF FUTURE GROWTH
OPPORTUNITIES.

ITEM 2 -- CHANGES IN SECURITIES
- -------------------------------
(c) Recent Sales of Unregistered Securities.
No securities of the Company that were not registered under the Securities
Act of 1933 have been issued or sold by the Company during the period
covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q other than the following:
(i) On July 18, 1997, the Company issued 87,752 Common Shares to certain
of its officers and other employees pursuant to the RPM, Inc. 1997
Restricted Stock Plan (the "Restricted Stock Plan"). Such shares are
restricted pursuant to the terms of the Restricted Stock Plan and are
subject to shareholder approval of such Plan at the October 17, 1997
Annual Meeting of Shareholders. The issuance of such shares was made
to individuals who were participants in the RPM, Inc. Benefit
Restoration Plan and such awards were designed to replace cash benefit
payments being canceled under the RPM, Inc. Benefit Restoration Plan.
Consequently, no additional consideration was received by the Company
for such issuance. The dollar value of the restricted share awards was
based on the closing price of the Company's Common Shares on April 24,
1997, the date of approval of the Restricted Stock Plan, of $16.125
per share. Registration under the Securities Act of 1933 was not
effected with respect to the transaction described above in reliance
upon the exemption from the registration contained in Section 4(2)
of the Security Act of 1933.
