Report of Independent Auditors
The Geon Company
Savings Program Administration Committee
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of The Geon Retirement Savings Plan as of December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the
related statement of changes in net assets available for benefits for the year
ended December 31, 1998. These financial statements are the responsibility of
the Plan's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these
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 financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of The Geon
Retirement Savings Plan at December 31, 1998 and 1997, and the changes in its
net assets available for benefits for the year ended December 31, 1998, in
conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of assets held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1998 and reportable
transactions for the year then ended, are presented for the purpose of
additional analysis and are not a required part of the financial statements but
are supplementary information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974. These supplemental schedules are the responsibility of the
Plan's management. The fund information in the statements of net assets
available for benefits and the statement of changes in net assets available for
benefits is presented for purposes of additional analysis rather than to present
the net assets available for benefits and changes in net assets available for
benefits of each fund. The supplemental schedules and fund information have been
subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audits of the basic
financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.
The schedule of assets held for investment purposes that accompanies the Plan's
financial statements does not disclose the historical cost of certain plan
assets held by the Plan trustee. Disclosure of this information is required by
the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure
under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974.

The Geon Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1998 and 1997
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
The Geon Retirement Savings Plan (the "Plan") is a defined contribution plan
covering all domestic salaried and hourly employees excluding employees of
acquired businesses, joint ventures, or newly created businesses of The Geon
Company ("Geon" or the "Company"). The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Pathways Retirement Savings Plan Brochure for a
more complete description of the Plan's provisions. Copies of the brochure are
available from the Human Resources Department of the Company.
INVESTMENT OPTIONS
State Street Bank, the Trustee of the Plan, maintains several investment
options under the Plan, including the Fixed Income Fund, the Equity Index Fund,
the Geon Company Common Stock Fund, the BFGoodrich Company Common Stock Fund,
the Balanced Fund, and the Brokerage Account. Contributions to the Fixed Income
Fund are invested in the State Street Bank Selection Fund, which invests in
guaranteed investment contracts issued by insurance companies. Contributions to
the Equity Index Fund are invested in the State Street Bank Flagship S&P 500
Index Fund. Contributions to the balanced fund are invested in a mix of the
following State Street Bank Funds: Flagship S&P 500 Index Fund, S&P Midcap
Index Fund, Daily Bond Market Fund and SSB Daily EAFE. The BFGoodrich Company
Common Stock Fund and the Brokerage Account are not available for
contributions. The Brokerage Account, which enables participants to design
their own investment portfolio, can be funded by transfers from a participant's
other investment funds. The BFGoodrich Company Common Stock Fund represents the
remaining common stock of The BFGoodrich Company resulting from the transfer of
fund assets from The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan on April
29, 1993 in conjunction with the initial public offering of Geon, formerly a
wholly owned subsidiary of The BFGoodrich Company.
The Plan offers participants the choice of two savings options: a regular (after
tax) savings option and a tax-deferred savings option. Participants can elect to
participate in either or both of the savings options. Under both savings
options, the participant may direct that contributions be invested in any or all
of the four eligible funds. Participants can contribute to each of the eligible
four funds under both savings options.

The Geon Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements--Continued
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED
Except for the Loan Fund and the BFGoodrich Company Common Stock Fund,
dividends, interest, and proceeds from sale of investments in each Fund are
reinvested in the respective Fund. Dividend income from the BFGoodrich Company
Common Stock Fund is reinvested in the Geon Company Common Stock Fund. Repayment
of principal and interest on participant loans is reinvested to the various
funds, excluding The BFGoodrich Company Common Stock Fund, based upon the
participant's investment mix.
PARTICIPANT LOANS
The Participants' Loan Fund represents the cumulative outstanding loans to Plan
participants. Participants may borrow on employee contributions and related
earnings only. Participants cannot have more than three loans outstanding at one
time. The minimum amount that can be borrowed is $1,000 and the maximum amount
is the lesser of one half of the total vested account balance or $50,000 reduced
by the greater of (i) the highest outstanding loan balance in the last 12
months, or (ii) the outstanding balance of loans from the Plan on the date such
loan is made. The participant's balance in the brokerage fund is taken into
consideration in determining the maximum loan amount available, but may not be
borrowed. The interest rate on each loan is a fixed rate based on the trustee's
prime rate. Payments on loans are made through payroll deductions and must be
repaid within 5 years (personal loans) or 5-15 years (primary residence loans).
CONTRIBUTIONS
Each employee who elects to become a participant in the Plan authorizes a
monthly payroll deduction from one to fourteen percent of eligible earnings. The
Savings Program Administration Committee has the authority at its discretion to
reduce the employees' monthly contribution percentage in order to maintain the
qualified tax status of the Plan.
The Plan provides that for each plan year the employer will contribute a
percentage of the participants' contributions up to six percent of the
participants' monthly eligible earnings. The employer contribution rate is 100%
of participants' eligible contributions to the Geon Common Stock Fund and 50% of
participants' eligible contributions to the Fixed Income, Equity Index, or
Balanced funds. Employer contributions are invested only in the Geon Common
Stock Fund.

The Geon Retirement Savings Plan
Notes to Financial Statements--Continued
A. DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN--CONTINUED
The Plan provides for the acceptance of rollover contributions from other plans
qualified under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code"). Rollover contributions
can be made only in cash to the Plan's tax-deferred savings option.
VESTING
Participant contributions are fully vested immediately and Company contributions
vest upon completion of three years of service by the participant (or upon
death, long-term disability, or Company initiated workforce reductions). Company
contributions may not be withdrawn until the participant reaches age 55 and is
vested. Forfeitures are applied to reduce employer contributions.
PAYMENT OF BENEFITS
A participant who elects to withdraw from the Plan will receive distributions
from the Fixed Income Fund, the Equity Index Fund, and the Balanced Fund in
cash. Distributions from The Geon Company Common Stock Fund or the BFGoodrich
Company Common Stock Fund may be made in cash or common stock of the respective
fund. Distributions or withdrawals cannot be made directly from the Brokerage
Account. Amounts in the Brokerage Account must first be transferred into another
fund, excluding the BFGoodrich Common Stock Fund, before a withdrawal
distribution can be made.
PLAN TERMINATION
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of termination of the
Plan, the net assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants based
on the respective value of their accounts.
ACCOUNTING AND ADMINISTRATIVE FEES
All significant accounting and administrative fees are paid by Geon, the Plan
sponsor.

Notes to Financial Statements--Continued
B. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Plan's financial statements are reported on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments are stated at fair value. Investments in common stock are valued at
the last reported sales price of the common stock on the last business day of
the plan year. The investment in the State Street Bank Selection Fund represents
the Plan's proportionate share of the net assets of the fund. The assets of the
State Street Bank Selection Fund, primarily deposits under insurance contracts,
are valued at contract value, plus income received thereon, less distributions
and administrative expense payments, which approximates fair value. The
investment in the State Street Bank common trust funds are valued at the
redemption price of units owned by the plan, which is based on the current
market value of the underlying assets of the fund. The shares of registered
investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net
asset value of shares held by the Plan at year-end. The Short-Term Investment
Fund consists of short-term fixed income obligations which have a market value
approximating cost. The participant notes receivable are valued at their
outstanding balances which approximate fair value.
USE OF ESTIMATES
The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates that affect
the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual
results could differ from those estimates.

D. INCOME TAX STATUS
The Plan has received a determination letter from the Internal Revenue Service
dated May 29, 1996, stating that the Plan is qualified under Section 401(a) of
the Code and, therefore, the related trust is exempt from taxation. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the Code to
maintain its qualification. The Plan Sponsor believes the Plan is being
operated in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Code and,
therefore, believes that the Plan is qualified and the related trust is tax
exempt.
F. YEAR 2000 ISSUE (UNAUDITED)
The Plan Sponsor has determined that it will be necessary to take certain steps
in order to ensure that the Plan's information systems are prepared to handle
year 2000 dates. The Plan Sponsor is taking a two phase approach. The first
phase addresses internal systems that must be modified or replaced to function
properly. Both internal and external resources are being utilized to replace or
modify existing software applications, and test the software and equipment for
the year 2000 modifications. The Plan Sponsor has substantially completed this
phase of the project. Costs associated with modifying software and equipment are
not estimated to be significant and will be paid by the Plan Sponsor.
For the second phase of the project, Plan management established communications
with its third party service providers to determine that they have developed
plans to address their own year 2000 problems as they relate to the Plan's
operations. All third party service providers have indicated they are year 2000
compliant. If modification of data processing systems of either the Plan, the
Plan Sponsor, or its service providers are not completed timely, the year 2000
problem could have an impact on the operations of the Plan. Plan management will
consider a contingency plan, at such time that it would appear some or all
systems will not be year 2000 ready.
