                        REPORT OF INDEPENDENT AUDITORS
                                      

The BFGoodrich Company
Retirement Plus Savings Plan Committee

We have audited the accompanying statement of net assets available for plan
benefits of The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan as of December
31, 1994 and 1993, and the related statement of changes in net assets available
for plan 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 plan benefits of the Plan
at December 31, 1994 and 1993 and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

1.   SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The accounts of The BFGoodrich Retirement Plus Savings Plan (the "Plan") are
reported on the accrual basis of accounting.

Investments in The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan Master
Trust are stated at fair value.  Common Stock of The BFGoodrich Company (the 
"Company") is valued at the last reported sales price on the last business day 
of the plan year.  Investments in the Selection Fund represent the Plan's
proportionate share of the net assets of the Fund.  The assets of the Selection
Fund, primarily deposits under insurance contracts, are valued at contract
value which represents deposits under insurance contracts, plus income received
thereon, less distributions and administrative expense payments.  Investments
in the S&P 500 Flagship Fund represent the Plan's proportionate share of the
net assets of the Fund.  The assets of the S&P 500 Flagship Fund, primarily
equity securities, are valued at the last reported sales price on the last
business day of the plan year.  In the event that no sale was reported, the
valuation is based on the more recent of the last published price or the mean
between the last reported bid and asked prices.  The loans to participants are
valued at cost which approximates fair value.  Temporary investments represent
investments in short-term fixed income obligations which have a fair value
approximately equal to cost.  

Purchases and sales of securities are recorded on a trade date basis.  Interest
income is recorded on the accrual basis.  Dividends are recorded on the
ex-dividend date.


2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN

The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus Savings Plan became effective on October
1, 1969.  The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering substantially all
full-time salaried employees of the Company and certain subsidiaries of the
Company to which the Plan has been extended.  In June, 1993, the Plan was
amended to cover eligible employees of the Cleveland Pneumatic Landing Gear
business.  The Plan is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).

                  Notes to Financial Statements (continued)



2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

Effective January 1, 1994, the Retirement Plus Savings Plan for Employees of
Simmonds Precision Products, Inc. ("Simmonds Precision") was merged into the
Plan. In addition, effective February 1, 1994, The BFGoodrich Company
Retirement Plus Savings Plan Master Trust ("Master Trust") was established to
hold the assets of the Plan and the assets of The BFGoodrich Company Retirement
Plus Savings Plan For Wage Employees. Effective August 1, 1994, the JcAIR
Profit Sharing Plan and Trust ("JcAIR") was merged into the Plan. The Plan was
amended to permit profit sharing contributions to be made to the Plan accounts
of participants who are employees of the Company's JcAir subsidiary.

The Trustee of the Plan maintains the following four investment funds under the
Plan:

     FIXED INCOME FUND--Contributions are invested primarily in securities that
     have a fixed rate of return.

     EQUITY INDEX FUND--Contributions are invested primarily in equity
     securities, including mutual fund shares.  The contributions to this Fund
     may also be invested in Common Stock of the Company.

     BFGOODRICH STOCK FUND--Contributions are invested primarily in Common
     Stock of the Company.

     BALANCED FUND--Contributions are invested primarily in  equity securities
     (approximately 60% of fund portfolio) and bonds (approximately 40% of fund
     portfolio). This fund became available effective April 1, 1994.

In addition, the Participant Loan Account represents cumulative loans to Plan
participants.

Effective May 2, 1994, the Plan contains a Brokerage Account pursuant to which
participants may transfer balances from the four above investment funds to one
or more of 10 mutual funds sponsored by Fidelity Investments. Employee
contributions cannot be made directly to the Brokerage Account.

The Plan offers participants the choice of two savings options:  a regular
savings option and a tax-deferred, 401(k) savings option.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)


Under the regular savings option, employee contributions are subject to Federal
income taxes, whereas under the tax-deferred savings option the participant
postpones paying Federal income taxes on the amount of contributions deducted
from their salary until the contributions are withdrawn from the Plan.
Participants can elect to participate in either or both of the savings options.
Participants can contribute to each of the four investment funds under both
savings options.

Each employee who elects to become a participant in the Plan authorizes a
monthly payroll deduction from 1% to 14% of their eligible earnings.

The Plan provides that for each plan year the employer will contribute a
percentage of the participants' contributions that are 6% or less of the
participants' monthly eligible earnings.

The employer contribution rate is 100% of participants' eligible contributions
to the BFGoodrich Stock Fund and 50% of participants' eligible contributions to
the other funds.  Employer contributions, excluding profit sharing
contributions, are invested only in the BFGoodrich Stock Fund under the regular
savings option.  Profit sharing contributions made to the Plan accounts of
participants who are employees of the Company's JcAir subsidiary are invested
only in the Fixed Income Fund.

The Plan provides for the acceptance of rollover contributions from other plans
qualified under the Internal Revenue Code (the "Code").  Rollover contributions
can be made only in cash to the Plan's tax-deferred savings option.

Dividends, interest and proceeds from sale of investments in each Fund are
reinvested in the respective Fund.

Participant contributions are always fully vested and all Company contributions
vest immediately upon completion of three years of service by the participant.
Company contributions made after January 1, 1990 may not be withdrawn until the
participant reaches age 55.   Forfeitures are applied to reduce contributions
required by the Company.

2.   DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN (CONTINUED)

A participant who elects to withdraw from the Plan is paid the
current value of his vested account balance.  Distributions from the BFGoodrich
Stock Fund are made in cash or stock of the Company, and distributions from the
other funds are made in cash.

Participants may borrow against their employee contributions and related
earnings as permitted under the Code not to exceed the lesser of $50,000 or 50%
of their vested account balance.  Loan transactions are treated as a transfer
to/from the investment fund and the Participant Loan Account.  Loan terms range
from 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a primary residence.
The loans are secured by the balance in the participant's account and bear
interest at a rate commensurate with prevailing market rates as determined
monthly by the Trustee.  Principal and interest is paid ratably through monthly
payroll deductions.

Effective April 1, 1994, the Plan was amended to provide that administrative
expenses relating to record keeping and investment management fees be paid by
the Plan and charged to participants' accounts.  These expenses are charged
against the earnings of the investment funds in which the participants' funds
are invested.

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue such contributions at any time and terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA.  In the event of a termination of the
Plan, the net assets of the Plan will be distributed to the participants based
on the value of their accounts.  Since this is an individual account plan, the
Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation does not guarantee any benefits.

The foregoing description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the BFGFlex Benefits Handbook, for a more complete
description of the Plan's provisions.  Copies of the handbook are available
from the Human Resource Department of the Company.

3.   INCOME TAX STATUS

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled (September 11, 1986) that the Plan is a
qualified Plan under Sections 401(a) and (k) of the Code and that the Trust of
the Plan qualifies under Section 501(a) of the Code.  Thus, contributions and
earnings received by the Trust are not subject to tax under present income tax
laws.  Once qualified, the Plan is required to operate in conformity with the
Code to maintain its qualification.  The BFGoodrich Company Retirement Plus
Savings Plan Committee is not aware of any course of action or series of events
that have occurred including plan amendments made subsequent to the ruling date
that might adversely affect the Plan's qualified status.  In March 1995, the
Company applied for a new determination letter ruling that the Plan, as
currently in effect, remains a qualified plan.


4.   INVESTMENTS

The Plan's approximate undivided interest in the commingled investment accounts
of the Master Trust at December 31, 1994, is as follows:  Fixed Income Fund -
92%; Equity Index Fund - 98%; BFGoodrich Stock Fund - 97 %; and Balanced Fund -
96%.  The Plan has a divided interest in the Brokerage Account and Participant
Loan Account which reflects the Plan's specific brokerage and loan
transactions.  Participation by the Plan in the Master Trust investment
accounts is increased or decreased by the purchase or redemption of units of
participation at the unit value established at the end of the day on which the
purchase or redemption of units occurred.  Total additions into the Master
Trust include the net assets of the Plan and The BFGoodrich Company Retirement
Plus Savings Plan for Wage Employees that were transferred into the Master
Trust on February 1, 1994.  Summarized financial information for the Master
Trust is as follows:
