             NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                               NOVEMBER 30, 1996
                               -----------------
                                 (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 read in conjunction with the 
financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's 1996 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, 1996.

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 reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of 
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and 
the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. 
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

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, including 
product liability litigation, 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.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL
CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
- ---------------------
FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 1997 COMPARED TO FIRST QUARTER OF FISCAL YEAR 1996
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Consolidated net sales for the quarter were $28,265,000, an increase  of 2.4% or
$653,000 from a year ago.  Currency exchange losses amounted to $432,000 for the
quarter, versus no effect in the prior year.  Management anticipates sales 
continuing to improve in subsequent quarters.

Cost of product sold declined to 40.4% of net sales this quarter versus 42.3% a 
year ago.  Management believes that costs have stabilized and that there will 
be minimal inflationary impact for the remainder of fiscal year 1997.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $1,507,000 or 26.1% in 
the first quarter of fiscal year 1997 as compared to the same period in 1996.  
Such expenses as a percentage of net sales increased this quarter to 25.8% 
versus 20.9% last year.  In addition to the normal increases in general 
overheads, the company experienced inflationary pressure on freight, airfares, 
and fuel surcharges due to increased petroleum prices.

Advertising and sales promotion expenses increased $207,000 or 10.2% due to the 
timing of overall promotional activities.

Net income decreased $1,026,000 or 19.5% due primarily to higher S, G & A 
expenses, foreign exchange losses, and amortization of goodwill related to the 
acquisition of 3-IN-ONE Oil.  Net income as a percentage of net sales this 
quarter was 15.0% versus 19.1% in fiscal year 1996.


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

Net sales decreased $610,000 or 3.2% compared to last year.  The primary reason 
for the sales decline of WD-40 was due to the change over to the CO/2/ 
propellant.  The Company chose not to plan any major promotions during the first
quarter because of the differences in pricing with the older WD-40.  Export 
sales to the Pacific Rim were lower due to heavy purchasing during August, 1996.

Cost of product sold decreased to 40.8% of net sales this quarter as compared to
43.1% in fiscal year 1996.

Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $620,000 or 15.2%, to 
25.7% of sales versus 21.9% last year.

Advertising and sales promotion expenses decreased $32,000 or 2.0% but remained 
flat at 8.3% of sales compared to 8.3% in the prior year.

Amortization expenses related to the acquisition of 3-IN-ONE Oil were $307,000
for this quarter, compared to zero for 1996.

As a result, net income was down by $2,720,000 or 45.5%.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF 
OPERATIONS

WD-40 COMPANY LTD. (U.K.)
- -------------------------

Net sales for the quarter increased $1,609,000 or 23.7% compared to the same 
quarter in fiscal 1996. 3-IN-ONE sales combined with strong WD-40 sales into the
Middle East prior to a price increase accounted for the gain.

Cost of product sold increased to 41.3% of net sales versus 38.9% in fiscal year
1996.

As a percentage of net sales, selling, general, and administrative expenses were
26.6% versus 20.1% last year, and advertising and sales promotion expenses 
increased to 6.0% versus 4.6% in 1996.

Foreign exchange activity resulted in a loss of $432,000 compared to a gain of 
$139,000 for the first quarter of 1996.

As a result of the factors described above, net income decreased $727,000 or 
54.3%.

OTHER FOREIGN SUBSIDIARIES
- --------------------------

Net sales decreased $113,000 or 5.2%.

Cost of product sold as a percentage of net sales was 47.0% versus 46.6% last 
year.

Net income was down 27.5% or $98,000 due primarily to the foreign exchange 
losses.

PRICE INCREASES
- ---------------

Prices increased 5%-9% worldwide in the first quarter of fiscal 1997, providing
an approximate overall 6% increase compared to last year.

CASH AND CASH EQUIVALENTS
- -------------------------

Cash and cash equivalents increased $3,779,000 during the three months ended 
November 30, 1996 versus an increase of $9,169,000 for the same period of last 
year. The increase in the prior year was primarily due to the liquidation of 
short-term investments.

INTEREST AND OTHER INCOME, NET
- ------------------------------

Net interest income decreased by $217,000 due to reduced short-term investments.
Other income, net, increased by $151,000.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- -------------------------------

The current ratio of 3.4-to-one on November 30, 1996 was unchanged from the 
current ratio on August 31, 1996.

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 1997 are expected to total approximately 
$1,200,000 principally for replacement of aged vehicles and updating of computer
equipment.
