              NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                 August 2, 1997
                                   (Unaudited)


1.       GENERAL

         The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
         condensed in certain respects and should, therefore, be read in
         conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related
         notes thereto, contained in the Company's Annual Report to
         Shareholders on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended February 1, 1997.

         In the opinion of the Company, the accompanying unaudited condensed
         consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary
         (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) to present fairly
         the financial position of the Company as of   August 2, 1997, and the
         results of operations and cash flows for the three and six  months
         ended August 2, 1997 and August 3, 1996.  Results of the Company's
         operations for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997 are not
         necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
         year.

         In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
         Statement No. 128, Earnings per Share, which is effective for
         financial statements for periods ending after December 15, 1997. The
         Company will be required to change the method currently used to
         compute earnings per share and to restate all prior periods.  Under
         the new requirements for calculating basic earnings per share, the
         dilutive effect of stock options will be excluded.  The impact is
         expected to result in an increase in basic earnings per share for the
         three and six months ended August 2, 1997 of $0.02 and $0.04 per
         share, respectively. The impact is expected to result in an increase
         in basic earnings per share for the three and six months ended August
         3, 1996 of $0.01 and $0.02 per share, respectively.  The impact of
         Statement 128 on the calculation of fully diluted earnings per share
         for these periods is not expected to be material.

2.       INVENTORIES

         Inventories, stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or

         Effective March 27, 1997, the Company amended and restated its Credit
         Agreement to increase the aggregate principal amount from $200.0
         million to $250.0 million.

         For the three and six months ended August 2, 1997, the weighted
         average interest rate on the loans under bank credit agreements was
         6.7% and 6.6%, respectively.

         Interest paid for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997 was
         $2.7 million and $5.0 million, respectively.   Interest  paid for the
         three and six months ended August 3, 1996 was $0.5 million and $1.3
         million, respectively.

5.       INCOME TAXES

         The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended
         August 2, 1997 was 28.9% and 31.5%, respectively, as compared with
         34.0% for the same periods in the prior year.  The lower effective tax
         rate was primarily due to increases in research and experimental
         credits and foreign tax credits.

         Income taxes paid for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997
         were $2.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively.  Income taxes paid
         for the three and six months ended August 3, 1996 were $1.1 million
         and $1.6 million, respectively.


6.       CONTINGENCIES

         At August 2, 1997, the Company had approximately $1.4 million of
         foreign currency hedge contracts outstanding consisting of over-the-
         counter forward contracts.  The contracts reflect the selective
         hedging of the Belgium Franc with varying maturities up to six months.
         Net unrealized gains from hedging activities were not material as of
         August 2, 1997.

         At August 2, 1997, the Company is obligated under irrevocable letters
         of credit totaling $8.5 million.

         The Company is currently involved in various litigation.  Management
         of the Company is of the opinion that the ultimate resolution of such
         litigation should not have a material adverse effect on the Company's
         consolidated financial position or results of operations.

         Compliance with environmental laws and regulations designed to
         regulate the discharge of materials into the environment or otherwise
         protect the environment requires continuing management effort and
         expenditures by the Company. The Company does not believe that the
         operating costs incurred in the ordinary course of business to satisfy
         air and other permit requirements, properly dispose of hazardous
         wastes and otherwise comply with these laws and regulations form or
         will form a material component of its operating costs or have or will
         have a material adverse effect on its competitive or consolidated
         financial positions.

6.       CONTINGENCIES (CONTINUED)

         As of August 2, 1997 the Company's reserves for environmental matters
         totaled approximately $1.6 million.  The Company or one or more of its
         subsidiaries is currently involved in environmental investigation or
         remediation directly or as an EPA-named potentially responsible party
         or private cost recovery/contribution action defendant at various
         sites, including the following "superfund" waste disposal sites:
         Solvents Recovery Service of New England in Southington, Connecticut;
         Gallup's Quarry in Plainfield, Connecticut; Davis Liquid Waste and
         Picillo in Coventry, Rhode Island; Malvern in Malvern, Pennsylvania;
         and Granville in Granville, Ohio.  While neither the timing nor the
         amount of the ultimate costs associated with these matters can be
         determined with certainty, based on information currently available to
         the Company, including investigations to determine the nature of the
         potential liability, the estimated amount of investigation and
         remedial costs expected to be incurred and other factors, the Company
         presently believes that its environmental reserves should be
         sufficient to cover the Company's aggregate liability for these
         matters and, accordingly, does not expect them to have a material
         adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of
         operations.  The actual costs to be incurred by the Company at each
         site will depend on a number of factors, including one or more of the
         following: the final delineation of contamination; the final
         determination of the remedial action required; negotiations with
         governmental agencies with respect to cleanup levels; changes in
         regulatory requirements; innovations in investigatory and remedial
         technology; effectiveness of remedial technologies employed; and the
         ultimate ability to pay of any other responsible parties.

ITEM 2.      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND
             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Consolidated sales for the second quarter and six months year to date, 1997
rose 23% to $118.7 million and 25% to $238.3 million, respectively, over the
same periods of the prior year.  Medex, having been acquired on January 2,
1997, recorded sales of $24.5 and $49.8 million during the same periods.

Exclusive of the Medex acquisition, and several product line divestitures,
sales increased in the second quarter over the prior year as the Company has
benefited from continued strength in certain industrial markets. The rate of
expansion however, slowed from the first quarter.  Sales to the aerospace,
medical devices OEM, heavy duty truck, and general industrial markets were
particularly strong during the quarter compared to the same period of last
year.  Partially offsetting this is the general softness in the semiconductor
equipment market, as well as a shortfall in chemical and industrial processing
markets that are the result of major projects included in last year's sales
that were not repeated this year.  Sales for the Company's European operations
for the quarter and the six months, excluding Medex, were down 13% and 10%,
respectively, over the same periods of the prior year.  However, after removing
the unfavorable effect of foreign currency exchange rate changes, sales for the
three and six month periods  were unchanged and up 3%, over the same periods
of last year.

Gross profit as a percentage of sales for the three and six months ended August
2, 1997  was up 5.4% and 4.7%, respectively, from the same periods of the prior
year to 32.4% and 32.2%.  This continues to be the result of both higher margins
earned by Medex, which were 44.6% and 44.8% for the three and six month periods
and domestic productivity improvements.  Exclusive of Medex, gross margins in
the second quarter increased from the second quarter last year by 2.2% to 29.3%.
This represents an 0.8% increase over the comparable first quarter margins. The
current quarter benefited from improved yields resulting in reduced material
costs compared to the same period of the prior year. Compared to the first
quarter, the operating leverage effect of favorable domestic manufacturing
costs, and continued productivity and process improvements were enough to offset
the impact of higher manufacturing costs experienced in Europe, in part due to
seasonal softness in sales and a shift in product mix.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of sales were
24.1% and 23.8% for both the quarter and six months year to date, up from 21.1%
for both the same periods a year ago. The increase in operating expenses as a
percentage of sales from last year is primarily the result of the Medex
addition, at 29.8% and 30.6% for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997.
After removing the effect of acquisitions and divestitures, these same
operating expenses were 22.7% and 21.9%, for both the three and six months
ended August 2, 1997, up from 21.4% for both the same periods a year ago. The
increase in selling, general and administrative expense in terms of dollars
from last year was primarily the result of the settlement of product warranty
litigation and higher performance based incentive compensation, partially
offset by lower costs for professional fees.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS (CONTINUED)

Other income and expense net, for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997
reflected a decrease from the same periods the prior year due to foreign
currency exchange losses related to Medex operations.

Interest expense for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997 increased
significantly from the same periods of the prior year.  This increase is due in
full to the debt incurred for the acquisition of Medex.   Interest expense for
the three months ended August 2, 1997 reflects a 4.7% decrease over the
previous quarter ended May 3, 1997 due to the repayment of principal.

Pretax results of operations for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997
improved 25% and 16%, respectively, compared to the same periods last year.
Net of acquisitions and divestitures, pretax results of operations were up 18%
and 14%, respectively, for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997.  The
improvement generally reflected higher sales, improved margins and continued
productivity improvements, which were somewhat offset by higher material costs
in Europe and higher operating and interest expenses.

The Company's effective tax rate for the three and six months ended August 2,
1997 was 28.9% and 31.5%, respectively,  compared with 34.0% in the same
periods last year. The lower effective tax rate was primarily due to increases
in research and experimental credits and foreign tax credits.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The Company's financial condition remained strong at August 2, 1997. The ratio
of current assets to current liabilities was 2.1 to 1.0, down slightly from the
beginning of the year. Net working capital  decreased $5.4 million from the end
of the prior year to a total of  $73.5 million.  Cash provided by operations
for the three and six months ended August 2, 1997  was $17.5  million and
$29.6  million, respectively, compared with $11.1 million and $15.3 million,
provided in the same periods of the prior year.  Inclusive of the Medex
acquisition, accounts receivable decreased $2.1 million, inventories decreased
$4.1 million, income taxes payable increased $2.8 million and accounts payable
and accrued liabilities decreased $1.3 million from the prior year end. Capital
expenditures totaled $5.5 million and were primarily for renovating existing
facilities, leasehold improvements, or replacement of existing equipment in
addition to implementation of the  operating systems to support the Company's
structure.

Cash and cash equivalents increased $1.8 million, in addition to a decrease in
long-term debt of $22.8 million which was a result of funds generated by
operations.  The Company's debt to equity ratio is currently 2.2 to 1.0,  a
decrease from 2.9 to 1.0 at the beginning of the period.

ITEM 2.  MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
         OF OPERATIONS

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (CONTINUED)

The Company continues to believe that it generates sufficient cash flow from
its operations to finance near and long-term internal growth, capital
expenditures and the principal and interest payments on its loan payable to
banks. The Company will continue to evaluate its employment of capital
resources including asset management and other sources of financing.

The Company continually reviews possible acquisitions and should the Company
make a substantial acquisition, it could require the utilization of the
remaining $103.0 million available on its existing credit facility or financing
from other sources.

          WHEREAS, Furon Company (the "Company") maintains the Furon Company
1982 Stock Incentive Plan (the "Plan"); and

          WHEREAS, the Company has the right to amend the Plan, and the Company
desires to amend the Plan to reflect recent resolutions adopted by the Board of
Directors.

          NOW, THEREFORE, the Plan is hereby amended, effective immediately, as
follows:

          1.        Section 1.1(p) of the Plan is hereby amended in its entirety
to read as follows:

                    "(p)      'Event' shall mean any of the following:

                              (i) The dissolution or liquidation of the
                    Corporation;

                              (ii) The merger, consolidation, or other
                    reorganization of the Corporation with or into one or more
                    entities which are not "Subsidiaries" (as defined below in
                    this Section 1.1(p)), as a result of which 50% or less of
                    the outstanding voting securities of the surviving or
                    resulting entity are, or are to be, owned by former
                    shareholders of the Corporation;

                     SUPPLEMENTAL EXECUTIVE RETIREMENT PLAN



          WHEREAS, Furon Company ("Company") maintains the Furon Company

          trust or other entity organized, established or holding shares of such
          voting securities by, for or pursuant to, the terms of any such plan;
          or

                    (ii) individuals who at the beginning of any period of two
          consecutive calendar years constitute the Board of Directors of the
          Company (the "Board) cease for any reason, during such period, to
          constitute at least a majority thereof, unless the election, or the
          nomination for election by the Company's shareholders, of each new
          Board member was approved by a vote of at least three-quarters of the

          'Subsidiary' shall mean any corporation or other entity of which more
          than 50% of the outstanding voting stock or voting power is

          approval of the shareholders of the Company for any of the occurrences
          set forth in subsections (a) through (d) is obtained prior to such
          occurrence, then such shareholder approval shall constitute the
          Event."

          3. Section 2.2 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

          "2.2 Except as otherwise specified in this Section 2.2, if a
          Participant who is receiving, or may be entitled to receive, a benefit
          hereunder engages in activities causing substantial competitive injury
          to the Company (without prior authorization given by the Committee in
          writing) or is discharged for cause, or performs acts of willful
          malfeasance or gross negligence in a matter of material importance to
          the Company, payments





<PAGE>   4

          thereafter payable hereunder to such Participant or such Participant's
          Surviving Spouse will be forfeited and the Company will have no
          further obligation hereunder to such Participant or spouse.
          Notwithstanding the foregoing, if an Event occurs, then no forfeiture
          shall occur under this Section 2.2, unless, prior to the Event, the
          Participant was provided a written notice from the Company containing
          the following information:

                    (a) Such written notice must explicitly state that the
          Participant's benefit under this Plan has been forfeited pursuant to
          this Section 2.2; and

                    (b) Such written notice must set forth in reasonable detail
          the specific facts leading to the conclusion that a forfeiture under
          this Section 2.2 should occur.

          If the Event occurs prior to date the Participant is provided the
          notice described above, then the forfeiture shall not occur,
          regardless of whether the facts which would otherwise have led to a
          forfeiture occurred before, on or after the date of the Event."

          4. The last sentence of Section 3.3 is amended to read in its entirety
as follows:

          "Benefits may be payable in any other form requested by a Participant
          and approved by the Committee for the particular Participant involved.
          The Committee shall only approve another form of benefit if the
          Committee determines that it would be in the best interests of the
          Company to approve the other form of benefit. Any approval of a form
          of





<PAGE>   5


          benefit by the Committee shall apply only to the particular
          Participant involved, and shall not create any right or entitlement of
          any other Participant to receive a benefit in the same or a similar
          form."

          5. The third sentence of Section 7.1 is deleted and replaced with the
following:

                    "In the case of any other Participant, the cash lump-sum
          benefit will equal the benefit the Participant would be entitled to
          using (both for purposes of Sections 1.16 and 3.1) years of Service
          determined as follows:

                    a. If the Participant had fewer than five actual years of
          Service as of the date of the Event, the Participant will be deemed to
          have a total of ten years of Service;

                    b. If the Participant had five or more actual years of
          Service, but fewer than ten actual years of Service as of the date of
          the Event, the Participant will be deemed to have the number of years
          of Service equal to the Participant's actual years of Service plus
          five years of Service; and

                    c. If the Participant had ten or more actual years of
          Service as of the date of the Event, the Participant will be deemed to
          have a total of fifteen years of Service."

          6. Section 8.1 is amended to read in its entirety as follows:

                    "The Board of Directors may, at its sole discretion,
          terminate, suspend or amend this Plan at any time or from time to
          time, in whole or in part, except as specified in this Section 8.1.
          Neither the termination of





<PAGE>   6



          the Plan, nor its amendment, nor its suspension, may affect a
          Participant's right or the right of a Surviving Spouse to receive any
          benefit which had been earned through the date of such amendment,
          termination or suspension, based upon Service through such date,
          whether or not such benefit is then currently payable. Accordingly, if
          the Plan is terminated, suspended, or amended, each Participant (and
          the Surviving Spouse of each Participant) shall be entitled to
          receive, at a minimum, a benefit calculated under the terms of the
          Plan prior to such termination, suspension or amendment, according to
          the Participant's Service as of the date of the termination,
          suspension or amendment."



          7. The following Appendix A is hereby added to the Plan:
