                                  (Unaudited)

NOTE 1 - BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
its wholly owned subsidiaries, WD-40 Company Ltd. (U.K.), WD-40 Products
(Canada) Ltd. and WD-40 Company (Australia) Pty. Ltd. All significant
intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated.

The financial statements included herein have been prepared by the Company, 
without audit, according to the rules and regulations of the Securities and 
Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally 
included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and 
regulations.

In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the
interim periods shown reflects all adjustments (which include only normal,
recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation thereof. These
financial statements and notes thereto should be used in conjunction with the
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1995 Annual
Report to Shareholders, which statements and notes are incorporated by reference
in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended August 31, 1995.

Short-Term Investments

Effective September 1, 1994, the Company adopted Statement of Financial 
Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain Investments in Debt and 
Equity Securities" prospectively. Short-term investments consist of debt 
securities of high credit quality financial institutions, government agencies 
and corporate entities which are recorded at amortized cost and classified as 
"held-to-maturity". Unrealized gains and losses are not significant at November 
30, 1995.

Earnings per Share

Earnings per share are based upon the weighted average number of shares
outstanding during the period increased by the effect of dilutive stock options,
when applicable, using the treasury stock method.

NOTE 2 - COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

The Company is party to various claims, legal actions and complaints arising in 
the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, all such matters 
are adequately covered by insurance or will not have a material adverse effect 
on the Company's financial position or results of operations.

The Company signed a definitive agreement in November of 1995 for the
acquisition of the 3-IN-ONE oil brand from affiliates of Reckitt & Colman plc.
Upon signing the agreement, the Company made a $1,600,000 deposit which is
included in the purchase price of approximately $15,000,000. The acquisition is
expected to be completed in early December of 1995.

Item 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

Results of Operations
- ---------------------
First Quarter of Fiscal Year 1996 compared to First Quarter of Fiscal Year 1995
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated net sales for the quarter were $27,612,000, a decrease of 7.2% or 
$2,157,000 from a year ago. The soft retail economy and the timing of some 
promotional activity in North America accounted for the decline in sales. The 
currency exchange was neutral for the quarter. Management anticipates sales 
improving in the subsequent quarters.

Cost of product sold remained relatively flat at 42.3% of net sales this quarter
versus 42.4% a year ago. Management believes that costs have stabilized and that
there will be minimal inflationary impact for the remainder of fiscal year 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $196,000 or 3.3% in the 
first quarter of fiscal year 1996 as compared to the same period in 1995. Such 
expenses as a percentage of net sales increased this quarter to 20.9% versus 
20.0% last year.

Advertising and sales promotion expenses decreased $685,000 or 25.2% due 
entirely to the timing of the overall promotional activities. Management 
believes that these expenses will return to the historical level of 9-10% of net
sales by fiscal year end.

Net income decreased $254,000 or 4.6% due primarily to lower net sales. Net 
income as a percentage of net sales this quarter was 19.1% versus 18.5% in 
fiscal year 1995.

WD-40 Company (U.S.)
- --------------------

Net sales decreased $1,900,000 or 9.3%. Export sales to Latin America and the 
Pacific Rim increased approximately 40%; however, this was offset by very soft 
domestic sales. The lagging retail economy and timing of promotional activities 
were the cause of the lower net sales.

Cost of product sold was flat at 43.1% of net sales this quarter as compared to 
43.0% in fiscal year 1995.

Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased $103,000 or 2.5% but 
increased as a percentage of net sales to 21.9% versus 20.4% last year.

Advertising and sales promotion expenses decreased $326,000 or 1.7% and 
decreased as a percentage of net sales to 8.3% versus 9.1% in 1995.

As a result, net income was down by $574,000 or 16.6%.

                                       6

<PAGE>
 
WD-40 Company Ltd. (U.K.)
- -------------------------

Net sales for the quarter decreased $59,000 or 0.9% due to reduced net sales in 
the U.K.; however, this was partially offset by increased sales to Europe and 
the Middle East.

Cost of product sold increased slightly to 38.9% of net sales versus 38.4% in 
fiscal year 1995.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general and administrative expenses were 
20.0% versus 21.3% last year and advertising and sales promotion expenses were 
also down to 4.6% versus 8.4% in 1995. This decrease is due solely to the timing
of promotional activities.

As a result of the factors described above, net income increased $452,000 or 
28.8%.

Other Foreign Subsidiaries
- --------------------------

Net sales decreased $186,000 or 7.8% due to the retail economy in Canada.

Cost of product sold as a percentage of net sales was 46.6% versus 49.6% last 
year reflecting a slight improvement in Canada.

Net income was down 24.6% or $132,000 due primarily to the decrease in net 
sales.

Price increases
- ---------------

The Company did not initiate any price increases during this quarter.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
- -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents increased $9,169,000 during the three months ended 
November 30, 1995 versus a decrease of $3,353,000 for the same period of last 
year.

Interest and Other Income, Net
- ------------------------------

Net interest income decreased by $178,000 due to lower interest rates and 
reduced short-term investments. Other income, net increased by $81,000 primarily
due to the increase of exchange gains in the U.K.

                                       7

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

The current ratio of 5.1 to one on November 30, 1995 was greater than the 
current ratio of 4.5 to one on August 31, 1995 due mainly to decreases of 
accrued payroll and related liabilities.

The Company's primary source of liquidity are funds provided by operations. The 
Company's cash flows from operations are expected to provide sufficient funds to
meet both short and long-term operating needs, as well as future dividends. 
Capital expenditures for fiscal year 1996 are expected to total approximately 
$1,525,000 principally for replacement of aged vehicles and updating of computer
equipment.

On December 8, 1995, the Company acquired all of the worldwide 3-IN-ONE brand 
trademarks and other intangible assets relating to the sale of 3-IN-ONE brand 
lubricating products from affiliates of Reckitt & Colman plc. The Company paid 
cash in the amount of $15,000,000 for the trademarks and other intangible 
assets. None of the funds required for the acquisition were borrowed.

PART II  Other Information

Item 5.  Subsequent Event

On December 8, 1995 the acquisition of the 3-IN-ONE oil brand from affiliates of
Reckitt & Colman plc was completed. 3-IN-ONE is sold in more than 15 countries 
throughout the world with sales of approximately $13 million. Management feels 
this acquisition will provide synergetic growth opportunities for both the 
3-IN-ONE and WD-40 brands.

Item 6.  Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K.

  (a)    Exhibits.

         None.

  (b)    Reports on Form 8-K.

         No reports on Form 8-K were filed during the quarter ended November 30,
         1995; however, a Form 8-K was filed on December 22, 1995 regarding the
         3-IN-ONE acquisition.
