		     ETHYL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES
			NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
		   (In Thousands Except Per-Share Amounts)
				 (Unaudited)



   1.   In the opinion of management, the accompanying consolidated
	financial statements of Ethyl Corporation and Subsidiaries (the
	"Company") contain all adjustments necessary to present fairly,
	in all material respects, the Company's consolidated financial
	position as of March 31, 1996, the consolidated results of
	operations for the three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and
	1995 and the consolidated cash flows for the three-month periods
	ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.  All adjustments are of a normal,
	recurring nature.  These financial statements should be read in
	conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes
	thereto included in the December 31, 1995, Annual Report.  The
	December 31, 1995, consolidated balance sheet data was derived
	from audited financial statements but does not include all
	disclosures required by generally accepted accounting
	principles.  The results of operations for the three-month
	period ended March 31, 1996, are not necessarily indicative of
	the results to be expected for the full year.



   2.   On February 29, 1996, the Company completed the acquisition
	of the worldwide lubricant additives business of Texaco Inc.,("Texaco")
	including manufacturing and blending facilities, identifiable
	intangibles and working capital.  The acquisition, accounted for
	under the purchase method, included a cash payment of $135.9
	million (subject to adjustment based on final working capital
	determinations) and a future contingent payment of up to $60
	million.  The cash payment was financed primarily under the
	Company's revolving credit agreement.  The payment of up to $60
	million will become due on February 26, 1999, with interest
	payable on the contingent debt until such date.  The actual
	amount of the contingent payment and total interest will be
	determined using an agreed-upon formula based on volumes of
	certain acquired product lines shipped during the calendar years
	1996 through 1998, as specified in the contingent note
	agreement.  Texaco retained substantially all noncurrent
	liabilities.

	As the Company's 1996 financial statements only include one
	month of operations of the recently acquired lubricant additive
	business, the following selected unaudited pro forma information
	is being provided to present a summary of the combined results
	of the Company and the worldwide lubricant additives business of
	Texaco as if the acquisition had occurred as of the beginning of
	each respective period, giving effect to adjustments for
	interest expense that would have been incurred to finance the
	acquisition and other purchase accounting adjustments.  The pro
	forma data is for informational purposes only and may not
	necessarily reflect the results of operations of Ethyl had the
	acquired business operated as part of the Company for the
	three-month periods ended March 31, 1996 and 1995.
