                    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION
                      SIX MONTHS ENDED NOVEMBER 30, 1993


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The Company acquired Dynatron/Bondo Corporation in June 1993 and Stonhard, Inc.
in October 1993, both on a pooling-of-interests basis.  Dynatron/Bondo is a $45
million supplier of automotive repair products for both the professional and
consumer markets, complementing the Company's Talsol line of automotive repair
products.  Stonhard is a $100 million world-wide leader of industrial and
commercial polymer flooring whose products and markets will be synergistic with
many of the Company's existing industrial product lines.  The Company's prior
year's results have been restated to reflect these poolings.  Comparatively,
sales increased $24.0 million, or 6.2%, over the first six months of last year.
The recent strengthening of the dollar against European and Canadian currencies
had approximately a $6.0 million impact on this sales growth that otherwise
would have been $30.0 million, or 7.9%.  Core businesses accounted for $24.2
million, or 81%, of this dollar adjusted sales growth and primarily from higher
unit volume as pricing adjustments have been relatively minor.  The sales gains
during this past quarter (9.5%) reflect strength in both industrial and
consumer business.

The gross profit margin improved to 42.3% of six month sales from 41.7% during
the comparable period a year ago.  This reflects the benefit of planned
improvements in product mix and plant efficiencies, mainly among the industrial
businesses, as well as the transfer of Dynatron/Bondo's Canadian production to
the U.S.  These benefits were partially offset by a slight product mix shift
toward somewhat lower margin consumer business.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were reduced to 28.2% of sales
from 29.7% a year ago through primarily the conversion of both Dynatron/Bondo
and Stonhard to public operations and the incurrence last year of significant
restructuring charges at Stonhard's European operations.  This category further
reflects the benefits of higher sales and  planned expense reductions.
Acquisition costs, certain legal settlements and reduced royalty and joint
venture income partly offset these reductions.

The Company's June 1993 call for redemption of its $50 million 6.75%
Convertible Subordinated Eurobond Debentures due 2005 was the principal reason
for the decline in net interest expense from year to year.  All bondholders had
exercised their conversion rights by the end of July 1993.  Aside from the
Eurobonds, the net debt level was slightly higher during this past six months
compared to a year ago, related to acquisitions, causing slightly higher other
interest expense this year.  Interest rates were generally comparable.

As discussed in the 1993 Annual Report, the provision for income taxes has
increased as a percentage of pre-tax income to 42.6% from 42.0%.  This increase
is attributable primarily to new tax laws, and also to continued growth in
foreign income at comparatively higher tax rates and an upward trend in state
and local taxes.

Despite the increased tax provision, the comparative cost reductions discussed
enabled net income to grow at a faster pace than sales resulting in an improved
margin of 7.1% from 5.7% a year ago.

CAPITAL RESOURCES AND LIQUIDITY

CASH PROVIDED FROM OPERATIONS
The cash flow from operations continues to be the primary source of financing
the Company's internal growth.  The Company generated cash from operations of
$25.4 million for the current six month period, up $3.9 million from the same
period a year ago.

Operating working capital had a more adverse effect in the current six month
period primarily as a result of certain reserve payments and the timing of 
federal income tax payments.  Inventory in the current six months increased
approximately $5 million over the prior year's first six months.

INVESTING ACTIVITIES
Capital expenditures amounted to $12.3 million to date, up $3.1 million from
the same period last year. The Company's capital expenditures generally do not
exceed depreciation and amortization in a given year.

Certain cash requirements in the acquisitions of Dynatron/Bondo and Stonhard
amounted to approximately $8.6 million.  The Company also acquired the assets
of a small division of a hobby company for $2.1 million.

FINANCING ACTIVITIES
As a result of the Eurobond conversion in July 1993, the Company's November 30,
1993 balance sheet reflects reductions of $1.2 million of other assets, $3.1
million of other accrued liabilities and $50 million of long-term debt with a
corresponding increase to shareholders' equity resulting in an improved debt
capital ratio of 43% from 52% at May 31, 1993.

Other significant financing activities in the past six months include a $10
million increase in the multi-currency revolving credit agreement to facilitate
the payment due former shareholders of a subsidiary included in the current
portion of long-term debt at May 31, 1993.  In addition, the Company assumed
long-term debt of approximately $39 million in connection with the Stonhard and
Dynatron/Bondo acquisitions.  The subsequent retirement of this comparatively
higher interest debt was financed by increasing the $10 million revolving
credit agreement to $55 million.  The revolver had a balance of $52.3 million
at November 30, 1993.

Working capital increased to $217.6 million from $192.4 million at May 31,
1993, with the current ratio increasing to 3.0:1 from 2.4:1.  These
improvements were due primarily to the cited reduction in the current portion
of long term debt.  The higher dividend payments reflected in the restated
first six months of last year include $2.3 million that had been paid by
Dynatron/Bondo Corporation to their shareholders at that time.

The Company maintains excellent relations with its banks and other financial
institutions to further enable the financing of future growth opportunities.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION


ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

   Two asbestos-related bodily injury lawsuits which had previously been filed
against Bondex International, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company
("Bondex"), were dismissed with prejudice as a result of plaintiffs' inability
to produce evidence of exposure to or use of any Bondex asbestos-containing
product.  Further, thirty additional lawsuits which had been filed in In Re:
Asbestos Products Liability Litigation (No. VI); U.S. District Court, Eastern
District of Pennsylvania, Civil Action No. MDL 875, were dismissed without
prejudice by Order entered October 15, 1993.  All involved allegations of
asbestos-related diseases not compensable under current Pennsylvania case law.
All of the dismissed cases are subject to reinstatement should the diseases
alleged by plaintiffs progress to a compensable status.  There are currently
pending against Bondex a total of 284 asbestos-related bodily injury suits
filed on behalf of various individuals in various jurisdictions in the United
States.  All of these lawsuits name numerous other corporate defendants and all
allege bodily injury as a result of the exposure to or use of
asbestos-containing products.  Bondex has denied liability in all pending
lawsuits and continues to vigorously defend them.

   As previously reported in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for
the quarter ended August 31, 1993, Carboline Company, a wholly-owned
subsidiary of the Company ("Carboline"), has been named by the U.S.
Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") together with 36 other entities as a
potentially responsible party ("PRP") under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act, as amended ("CERCLA") in connection
with the Powell Road Landfill Site, Huber Heights, Ohio (the "Site").
Carboline is alleged to be associated with the Site as a consequence of
disposal of waste originating at its Xenia, Ohio plant.  Carboline has joined
with other PRPs in a "PRP Organization Agreement" for the purpose of conducting
a common response to any claim for removal or response action asserted by the
EPA or the State of Ohio or conducting a common defense to any such claim.  A
remedial investigation ("RI") to evaluate the nature and extent of
contamination at the Site and a feasibility study ("FS") of recommended cleanup
remedy, prepared by Waste Management, Inc., owner of the Site, have been
submitted to the EPA.  Following its review of the RI/FS, the EPA has
tentatively proposed a more expensive remedy, which will be the subject of
future negotiations.  The PRP group, now totalling 45, has advised the EPA of
the PRPs' interest in negotiating an Administrative Order on Consent which
would obligate the PRPs to perform a Remedial Design at the Site.  Initial
discussions with the EPA are scheduled for January, 1994.  Based upon
Carboline's estimated allocated share of total waste volume at the Site
(approximately 0.50 percent) the Company believes that ultimate resolution of
this matter will not have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial
position or results of operations.

ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - Continued

   As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, agreement was reached to settle two adversary
proceedings pending against the Company in the bankruptcy proceedings of GEC
Industries, Inc. (formerly Gates Engineering Company), a former subsidiary of
the Company ("GEC"), Case No. 89-44 in the United States Bankruptcy Court for
the District of Delaware.  The first proceeding, GEC AND THE WARRANTY CLAIMANTS
COMMITTEE V. AMERICAN INTERNATIONAL GROUP, INC., ET AL., Adversary No. 90-64,
is a declaratory judgment action against the Company, certain of its
subsidiaries and certain of their primary and excess insurers seeking judicial
determination of, among other things, the obligations of the insurance carriers
and scope of coverage under the insuring agreements with respect to claims
asserted against GEC for alleged defective roofing materials manufactured by
GEC.  The second proceeding, GEC AND THE WARRANTY CLAIMANTS COMMITTEE V. RPM,
INC., Adversary No. 90-65, seeks to hold the Company liable for all warranty
claims of GEC, based upon allegations that GEC was the alter ego,
instrumentality and actual or apparent agent of the Company.  The settlement
agreement, which  involves an aggregate payment of $3 million by the Company
and the insurance carriers, was approved by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court by Order
entered May 14, 1993.  On May 20, 1993, Notice of Appeal from the Order was
filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware; Civil Action No.
93-338 (Bankruptcy No. 89-44), by Jack E. Brown, Trustee in Bankruptcy for
Gentges Roofing and Sheet Metal, Inc., a GEC warranty claimant.  Appellant Jack
E. Brown subsequently withdrew the appeal which was then dismissed by the U.S.
District Court per Order entered September 30, 1993.  Stipulations of Dismissal
of both adversary proceedings (Adversary Nos. 90-64 and 90-65) were
subsequently executed by all parties and filed with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.
Per Order entered January 11, 1994, both adversary proceedings were dismissed
with prejudice by the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.  This litigation is now ended.

   As previously reported in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the
fiscal year ended May 31, 1993, the Company was named a defendant in a lawsuit
captioned GATES ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., ET AL. V. NOMA INDUSTRIES, LTD.,
JACK E. BROWN, TRUSTEE IN BANKRUPTCY FOR GENTGES ROOFING & SHEET METAL, INC. V.
GATES ENGINEERING COMPANY, INC., ET AL.  (including RPM, Inc.) filed August 26,
1987 in the United States District Court for the Western District of Missouri,
Central Division, Case No. 86-4053-CV-C-5.  In a Third Amended Complaint,
Plaintiff Brown included derivative claims against the Company, claims for
tortious interference with contract and violation by the Company of the federal
RICO statute.  The Third Amended Complaint sought $1,394,561.44 in actual
damages, $10 million in punitive damages, treble compensatory damages under
RICO and further relief.  Per Order entered May 26, 1993, the U.S. District
Court granted the Company's Motions for

ITEM 1 -- LEGAL PROCEEDINGS - Continued

Summary Judgment and dismissed all counts alleging civil conspiracy and
violation of the RICO statute.  At the commencement of trial on June 7, 1993,
all alter-ego claims against the Company, including counts of fraud, negligence
and breach of contract, were voluntarily dismissed with prejudice by the
plaintiff.  On June 9, 1993, the U.S. District Court directed a verdict in
favor of the Company on the sole remaining count of tortious interference with
contract, and judgment was entered per Order entered June 11, 1993.  On July 9,
1993, a Notice of Appeal from the Order entered May 26, 1993 (granting the
Company's Motion for Summary Judgment), as well as from the Order entered June
11, 1993 (entering judgment on the directed verdict for the Company), was filed
by plaintiff Brown in the U.S. Court of Appeals, Eighth Circuit; Appeal No.
93.2810.  In November, 1993, the Company and plaintiff Brown entered into a
settlement agreement (subject to approval  of the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for
the Western District of Missouri, Central Division), pursuant to which the
Company agreed to pay Brown an amount the Company considers insignificant in
exchange for Brown's complete dismissal of his appeal pending before the U.S.
Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.  On December 27, 1993, the Bankruptcy Court in
the Gentges bankruptcy proceedings entered an Order approving the settlement;
however, on December 28, 1993, John D. Gentges, a creditor in the Gentges
bankruptcy proceedings, filed a Notice of Appeal to the U.S. District Court
from the Order of the Bankruptcy Court.  The Company and plaintiff Brown
subsequently filed a Stipulation of Dismissal With Prejudice of plaintiff
Brown's appeal pending before the U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals.  Per
Order entered January 7, 1994, the stipulation was granted and plaintiff
Brown's appeal was dismissed with prejudice.  Consequently, the Gentges appeal
to the U.S. District Court is now moot and this litigation is ended.
