                          Independent Auditor's Report
                          ----------------------------

To the Administrator of
the RPM, Inc. Retirement Savings Trust and Plan




  We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for
benefits (modified cash basis) of the RPM, Inc. Retirement Savings Trust and
Plan, as of May 31, 1994 and May 31, 1993, and the related statement of changes
in net assets available for benefits (modified cash basis) for the year ended
May 31, 1994 and 1993.  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 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 1, these financial statements were prepared on a
modified cash basis of accounting, which is a comprehensive basis of accounting
other than generally accepted accounting principles.

  In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the RPM, Inc.
Retirement Savings Trust and Plan as of May 31, 1994, and the changes in net
assets available for benefits for the year ended on the basis of accounting
described in Note A.

                        -----------------------------

                            ---------------------




NOTE A - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
- - ----------------------------------------

  The basic accounting records of the RPM, Inc. Retirement Savings Trust and
  Plan (the Plan) are maintained on the modified cash basis.  The modified cash
  basis of accounting represents a departure from generally accepted accounting
  principles and is an appropriate method of accounting for Retirement Plans
  under the reporting requirements of the Employee Retirement Income Security
  Act of 1974 (ERISA).

  Under the modified cash basis investments are stated at aggregate fair value.
  Securities which are traded on a national securities exchange are valued at
  the last reported sales price on the last business day of the period;
  securities traded in the over-the-counter market and listed securities from
  which no sales were reported on that date are valued at the average of the
  last reported bid and ask prices.  Cost of assets is determined by the
  average cost method.

  The change in the difference between fair value and the cost of investments
  is reflected in the statement of changes in net assets available for benefits
  as unrealized appreciation or depreciation in aggregate fair value of
  investments.  Realized gains or losses on investments are based on the
  average cost of the investments.



NOTE B - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN
- - --------------------------------

  The plan is a defined contribution savings plan covering substantially all
  non-union employees of participating subsidiaries of RPM, Inc.  (the Parent).
  The Plan is subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974
  (ERISA).

  Participating employees may make voluntary contributions which are generally
  limited to 15% of the participant's salary up to a maximum amount ($8,994 in
  calendar year 1993).  The contributions may be invested by the employee in
  any of five funds:  Balanced Fund, Equity Fund, GNMA Fund, Reserve Fund or
  Employer Stock Fund.  Elections may be changed monthly.  Vesting is immediate
  for contributions and earnings.

  Further information may be obtained from the Plan Administrator.

                            ---------------------




NOTE C - INVESTMENTS
- - --------------------

  The Plan's investments are held by a bank-administered trust fund. Financial
  information regarding the assets and related income, contributions and
  distributions of assets held by the bank-administered trust fund is included
  in the financial statements.



NOTE D - ASSETS TRANSFERRED FROM OTHER PLANS
- - --------------------------------------------

  During the year the Plan received transfers of approximately $27,000,000 of
  assets from the RPM, Inc. Retirement Plan.



NOTE E - INCOME TAX STATUS
- - --------------------------

  The Plan has applied for but not yet received a determination letter from the
  Internal Revenue Service as to the tax qualified status of the Plan.
  However, the form of the prototype plan document has been approved by the
  Internal Revenue Service pursuant to a favorable determination letter.
  Management believes that the Plan is in compliance with the Tax Reform Act of
  1986 and will remain qualified and exempt from tax under Sections 401(a) and
  401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code.  Participating employees are not subject
  to federal income taxes as a result of their participation in the Plan until
  such time as the assets in their accounts are distributed from the Plan
  either partially or wholly.
