                         Report of Independent Auditors

Retirement Committee
BetzDearborn Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plan


We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the BetzDearborn Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plan as of December
31, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements of changes in net assets available
for benefits for the years then ended. 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 Plan at
December 31, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for
benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the financial
statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedule of assets
held for investment purposes as of December 31, 1996 is presented for purposes
of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and is
not a required part of the financial statements. The supplemental schedule has
been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of the 1996
financial statements and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the 1996 financial statements taken as a whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1996


1. Significant Accounting Policies

Valuation of Investments

Series A ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock of BetzDearborn Inc. is stated at
aggregate current value as determined by an independent securities appraisal
company. Marketable securities and investments in various mutual funds are
stated at aggregate fair value as determined from quoted market prices. The
change in the difference between current fair values and the cost of investments
and realized gains and losses on sales of investments is reflected in the
statement of changes in net assets available for benefits as net realized and
unrealized appreciation in fair value of investments.

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 amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.
Actual results could differ from those estimates.

2. Description of Plan

The BetzDearborn Inc. Employee Stock Ownership and 401(k) Plan ("Plan") is a
defined contribution plan, which covers substantially all domestic employees of
BetzDearborn Inc. (the "Company") who have attained age 21. On June 28, 1996,
Betz Laboratories, Inc. acquired the Dearborn operations from W.R. Grace and
formally changed its name to BetzDearborn Inc. As of the closing date, all
domestic employees of Dearborn were given full credit in The Plan for service
with W.R. Grace for purposes of eligibility and vesting.

Under the 401(k) provisions of the Plan, employees can contribute on a pretax
basis amounts up to 15% of salary, the first 4% being matched by the Company at
a rate of 25%. The Company's matching contributions are made in the form of the
BetzDearborn Inc. Convertible Preferred Stock.


                                                                               4

2. Description of Plan (continued)

After satisfying the 401(k) matching contributions and dividends, the remaining
allocable preferred shares are allocated to individual participants' accounts as
of December 31st of each plan year based on the participants' eligible
compensation as a percentage of total eligible compensation. The number of
shares released for allocation in a plan year is equal to the number of
previously unreleased shares multiplied by a fraction. The numerator of the
fraction is the amount of principal and interest paid on the loan for the Plan
year, and the denominator of the fraction is the sum of the numerator plus the
principal and interest to be paid on the loan for all future plan years during
the term of the loan.

The Board of Directors has the right to discontinue the Company's contributions
to the Plan and to terminate or partially terminate the Plan at any time. In the
event of Plan termination or discontinuance of Company contributions, the rights
of the affected participants shall be 100% vested.

Additional information about the plan agreement, its vesting, distribution,
loan, and forfeiture provisions is contained in Company publications available
from the Plan Administrator.

3. Investments

During 1996 and 1995, the Plan's investments (including investments bought,
sold, and held during the year) appreciated (depreciated) in fair value as
follows:

4. ESOP Loan, Company Loan Guarantee and Employer Contributions

The ESOP loan is secured by the unallocated shares of BetzDearborn Inc. Series A
ESOP Convertible Preferred Stock and is guaranteed by the Company. At December
31, 1996, the Plan held 359,869 unallocated shares of the Preferred Stock with a
fair value of $121,444,991. The Company is required to make contributions to the
Plan which, together with dividends received on stock held by the Plan, are
sufficient to enable the Plan to service its indebtedness. Interest was incurred
on the loan at 8.08% from January 1, 1995 to June 28, 1996 and 8.56% from June
29, 1996 to December 31, 1996. Debt service contributions paid to the ESOP
during 1996 and 1995 totaled $8,974,540 and $8,837,600, respectively, including
Preferred Stock dividends of $7,746,617 and $7,840,235, respectively. An
additional contribution of $272,493 has been accrued by the Plan and is included
in the contribution receivable recorded at December 31, 1996.

The ESOP loan matures on June 19, 2009 and requires principal payments of
$1,000,000 in each of the years 1997 through 1999, $1,500,000 in 2000,
$2,500,000 in 2001, and $88,500,000 thereafter. The Company is obligated to
maintain certain financial ratios and meet certain net worth and indebtedness
tests.

5. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

In accordance with the Plan document, the Company will pay substantially all
administrative expenses reasonably incurred in connection with the Plan. It is
impractical to allocate common expenses of the Company and the Plan. However,
certain employees of the Company are involved in the operation of the Plan.
Trustee's and other expenses directly applicable to the Plan and paid by the
Company amounted to $62,466 and $99,156 in 1996 and 1995, respectively.

6. Income Tax Status

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled (March 23, 1995) that the Plan qualifies
under Section 401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and, therefore, the
related trust is not subject to tax under present income tax law. Once
qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the IRC to
maintain its qualification. The Retirement Committee is not aware of any course
of action or series of events that have occurred that might adversely affect the
Plan's qualified status.



                                                                               7
