                       W. R. Grace & Co. and Subsidiaries
                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                              (Dollars in millions)


(a)  The financial statements in this Report at March 31, 1995 and 1994 and for
     the three-month interim periods then ended are unaudited and should be read
     in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company's
     1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Such interim financial statements reflect
     all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a
     fair presentation of the results of the interim periods presented; all such
     adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.  Certain amounts in the prior
     period's consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to
     conform to the current period's basis of presentation.

     The results of operations for the three-month interim period ended March
     31, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations for
     the fiscal year ending December 31, 1995.

(b)  As previously reported, Grace is a defendant in lawsuits relating to
     previously sold asbestos-containing products and anticipates that it will
     be named as a defendant in additional asbestos-related lawsuits in the
     future.  Grace was a defendant in approximately 39,100 asbestos-related
     lawsuits at March 31, 1995 (64 involving claims for property damage and the
     remainder involving approximately 72,700 claims for personal injury), as
     compared to approximately 38,700 lawsuits at December 31, 1994 (65
     involving claims for property damage and the remainder involving
     approximately 67,900 claims for personal injury).  During the first quarter
     of 1995, a final judgment was entered in favor of Grace in a property
     damage case that had been on appeal; a new trial was ordered in another
     property damage case that had been on appeal; and one new property damage
     lawsuit was filed.  During the first quarter of 1995, Grace also recorded
     $5.1 as a result of the settlement of approximately 1,800 personal injury
     claims, and approximately 500 personal injury claims against Grace were
     dismissed.

     Based upon and subject to the factors discussed in Note 2 to Grace's
     consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994,
     Grace has attempted to estimate its future costs to dispose of the personal
     injury and property damage lawsuits pending at March 31, 1995 and has
     determined that it is probable that such lawsuits can be disposed of for a
     total of $688.2, inclusive of legal fees and expenses, of which Grace has
     recorded $588.2 as a noncurrent liability and $100 as a current liability.
     This compares to the estimated liability (current and noncurrent) of $712.4
     at December 31, 1994, the decrease being attributable to payments made by
     Grace for asbestos-related litigation settlements and defense costs in the
     first quarter of 1995.  In addition, Grace has recorded a receivable of
     $512.6 for the insurance proceeds it expects to receive in reimbursement
     for prior payments and estimated future payments to dispose of asbestos-
     related litigation.  The amount of  this receivable is unchanged from
     December 31, 1994, reflecting that the payment made to Grace during the
     first quarter of 1995 pursuant to a settlement with an insurance carrier
     was included in the current portion of notes receivable in the balance
     sheet at December 31, 1994.

                              (Dollars in millions)

     Grace continues to be involved in litigation with certain of its insurance
     carriers, including an affiliated group of carriers that had agreed to a
     settlement and had made a series of payments under that agreement in 1993.
     The group of carriers subsequently notified Grace that it would no longer
     honor the agreement (which had not been executed) due to a September 1993
     decision by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Second Circuit that had the
     effect of reducing the amount of insurance coverage available to Grace with
     respect to asbestos property damage litigation and claims.  Grace believes
     that the settlement agreement (which involves approximately $240 of the
     asbestos-related receivable of $512.6 at March 31, 1995) is binding and
     initiated action to enforce the settlement agreement.  In January 1994, the
     U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas held the agreement to
     be enforceable.  The affiliated group of carriers appealed this ruling to
     the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit.  On April 12, 1995, a
     three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit
     unanimously affirmed the January 1994 decision.  Grace anticipates that the
     affiliated group of carriers will seek a rehearing and, if a rehearing is
     not granted, will seek to appeal the decision to the U.S. Supreme Court.

     Grace's ultimate exposure in respect of its asbestos-related lawsuits and
     claims will depend on the extent to which its insurance will cover damages
     for which it may be held liable, amounts paid in settlement and litigation
     costs.  In Grace's opinion, it is probable that recoveries from its
     insurance carriers (reflected in the receivable discussed above), along
     with other funds, will be available to satisfy the personal injury and
     property damage lawsuits and claims pending at March 31, 1995.
     Consequently, Grace believes that the resolution of its asbestos-related
     litigation will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated
     results of operations or financial position.

     For additional information, see Note 2 to the consolidated financial
     statements in the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

(c)  Minority interest consists of a limited partnership interest in Grace Cocoa
     Associates, L.P. (LP).  LP's assets consist of Grace Cocoa's worldwide
     cocoa and chocolate business, long-term notes and demand loans due from
     various Grace entities and guaranteed by the Company and its principal
     operating subsidiary, and cash.  LP is a separate and distinct legal entity
     from each of the Grace entities and has separate assets, liabilities,
     business functions and operations.  For financial reporting purposes, the
     assets, liabilities, results of operations and cash flows of LP are
     included in Grace's consolidated financial statements as a component of
     discontinued operations, and the outside investors' interest in LP is
     reflected as a minority interest.  The intercompany notes held by LP are
     eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements and,
     therefore, have not been classified as pertaining to discontinued
     operations.

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


     (a)  Review of Operations

          (1) Overview:

     In the first quarter of 1995, sales and revenues increased 25% over the
     first quarter of 1994.  Net income for the first quarter of 1995 was $47.5
     million, a 24% increase as compared to the 1994 first quarter.  The first
     quarter of 1995 reflects a $20 million pre-tax charge for costs associated
     with the termination of the employment agreement of the Company's former
     President and Chief Executive Officer, pension costs resulting from the
     retirement of certain directors, and legal and other expenses related to
     the foregoing and corporate governance activities.

          (2) Operating Results:

     The following table compares segment results for the 1995 first quarter to
     those for the first quarter of 1994:

     Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)


     SPECIALTY CHEMICALS

     Sales and revenues increased 26% in the first quarter of 1995 as compared
     to the 1994 first quarter, reflecting favorable volume, price/product mix
     and currency translation variances estimated at 20%, 2% and 4%,
     respectively.  The volume increase reflects the impact of four additional
     selling days in the first quarter of 1995 versus the first quarter of 1994;
     excluding the additional selling days, the volume increase is estimated at
     13% - 15%.  Volume increases were experienced by all core product lines.
     Packaging volume increases were due to higher sales of bags, films and
     laminates in all regions.  Catalyst and other silica-based products volume
     increases were due to higher sales in all products and regions, especially
     in Europe due to new product introductions and an improved economy, along
     with market share gains in Asia Pacific.  Construction products volume
     increases were due to improved sales of waterproofing materials and the
     improved non-residential construction market in North America, coupled with
     market share gains in Southeast Asia.  The volume increases in water
     treatment were due to higher sales volumes in water treatment chemicals and
     paper industry process chemicals businesses in all regions, especially in
     Latin America due to market share gains.  Container volume increases were
     due to increased sales of can sealing products in Asia Pacific and coating
     products in Latin America.

     Operating income before taxes increased by 97% in the first quarter of 1995
     compared to the 1994 first quarter.  North American results were positively
     affected by strong growth in packaging (due to the volume increases noted
     above).  European results improved significantly versus the 1994 first
     quarter, primarily in packaging and catalyst and other silica-based
     products due to the improved economy and the volume increases noted above.
     In Asia Pacific, favorable results were achieved versus the 1994 first
     quarter, primarily in catalyst and other silica-based products and
     container (due to the volume increases noted above).  Latin American 1995
     first quarter results improved versus the first quarter of 1994, primarily
     due to increased profitability in packaging and container products (due to
     the volume increases noted above).

     HEALTH CARE

     Sales and revenues for the first quarter of 1995 increased by 23% over the
     1994 first quarter, due to increases of 25%, 32% and 4%, respectively, in
     kidney dialysis services, home health care operations and medical products
     operations.  1995 first quarter results for kidney dialysis services
     reflect acquisitions subsequent to the first quarter of 1994, and results
     for home health care operations include the results of Home Nutritional
     Services, Inc. (HNS), a national provider of home infusion therapy services
     acquired in April 1994.  The number of centers providing dialysis and
     related services increased 20%, from 508 at March 31, 1994 to 610 at March
     31, 1995 (539 in North America, 43 in Europe, 19 in Latin America and 9 in
     Asia Pacific).

     Operating income before taxes in the first quarter of 1995 increased by 23%
     over the 1994 first quarter.  All health care businesses benefited from
     acquisitions made subsequent to the first quarter of 1994, continued
     expansion inside and outside the U.S., and continued improvements in cost
     controls, operating efficiencies and/or capacity utilization.  Also, costs

     incurred in improving and expanding quality assurance systems for medical
     products manufacturing operations (see discussion below) are down from the
     1994 period.

     In 1993, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) issued import alerts
     with respect to (1) hemodialysis bloodlines manufactured at the plant of
     National Medical Care, Inc. (NMC), Grace's principal health care
     subsidiary, located in Reynosa, Mexico and (2) hemodialyzers manufactured
     in NMC's Dublin, Ireland facility.  Products subject to FDA import alerts
     may not enter the U.S. until the FDA approves the quality assurance systems
     of the facility at which such products are manufactured.  In January 1994,
     NMC entered into a consent decree providing for the resumption of
     importation of bloodlines and hemodialyzers following certification by NMC
     that the relevant facility complies with FDA regulations and successful
     completion of an FDA inspection to verify such compliance.  The consent
     decree also requires NMC to certify and maintain compliance with applicable
     FDA manufacturing requirements at all of its U.S. manufacturing facilities.
     NMC submitted all required certifications for its U.S. and non-U.S.
     facilities in accordance with the timetable specified in the consent
     decree, and the bloodline import alert was lifted in March 1994.  The
     Dublin hemodialyzer manufacturing facility was inspected by the FDA in
     December 1994.  NMC has completed all corrective actions pursuant to that
     inspection, and a reinspection of the facility has been scheduled for June
     1995.  No fines or penalties have been imposed on NMC as a result of any of
     the FDA's actions or in connection with the consent decree.  Neither the
     import alerts nor previously reported recalls of certain NMC products have
     had, or are expected to have, a material effect on Grace's results of
     operations or financial position.

     On May 4, 1995, Grace announced that it had received a proposal, subject to
     financing, from Dr. Constantine L. Hampers, Chairman of the Board and Chief
     Executive Officer of NMC, to purchase NMC from Grace for a price of $3.5
     billion, of which $3.0 billion would be in cash.  The announcement stated
     that the proposal would be considered by the Company's Board of Directors
     in due course.


          (2) Statement of Operations:

     OTHER INCOME

     Other income includes interest income, dividends, royalties from licensing
     agreements, and equity in earnings of affiliated companies.  Other income
     for the first quarter of 1994 also included a $27 million gain (pre- and
     after-tax) from the January 1994 sale of Grace's remaining interest in The
     Restaurant Enterprise Group, Inc. (REG).

     INTEREST EXPENSE AND RELATED FINANCING COSTS

     Interest expense and related financing costs increased by 70% in the first
     quarter of 1995 versus the first quarter of 1994, primarily due to higher
     average short-term interest rates.

     See "Financial Condition:  Liquidity and Capital Resources" below for
     information on borrowings.

<PAGE>

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
     Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)


     RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENSES

     Research and development spending increased by 9% in the first quarter of
     1995 versus the 1994 first quarter.  Research and development spending
     continues to be directed primarily toward Grace's core specialty chemicals
     and health care businesses.

     INCOME TAXES

     The effective tax rate was 37.0% in the first quarter of 1995 versus 39.9%
     in the 1994 first quarter, excluding the REG gain and a charge for future
     environmental costs and workforce reductions recorded in the first quarter
     of 1994.  The lower effective tax rate in the first quarter of 1995 was
     primarily due to a reduction in the overall foreign tax rate, reflecting a
     reassessment of the valuation allowance for certain deferred tax assets.


     (b)  Financial Condition; Liquidity and Capital Resources

     During the first quarter of 1995, the net pretax cash provided by Grace's
     continuing operating activities was $2.1 million, versus $68.3 million used
     in the 1994 first quarter.  The increase was primarily due to the net cash
     inflows of $69.1 million and $16.8 million, respectively, resulting from
     settlements with certain insurance carriers, net of amounts paid for the
     defense and disposition of asbestos-related property damage and personal
     injury litigation (see discussion below), and improved operating results.
     After giving effect to discontinued operations and payments of income
     taxes, the net cash used for operating activities was $62.5 million in the
     first quarter of 1995 versus $60 million in the 1994 first quarter.

     Investing activities used $137.2 million of cash in the first quarter of
     1995, largely reflecting capital expenditures of $110.4 million, and the
     acquisitions of various kidney dialysis centers and medical products
     facilities totalling $31.3 million.  In the first quarter of 1995, Grace
     announced a $300 million three-year expansion program to add manufacturing
     capacity to its worldwide packaging business.

     Net cash provided by financing activities in the first quarter of 1995 was
     $179.4 million, primarily reflecting an increase in total debt from
     December 31, 1994, offset by the payment of $33.1 million of dividends.
     Total debt was approximately $1,756 million at March 31, 1995, an increase
     of $226.3 million from December 31, 1994.  Grace's total debt as a
     percentage of total capital (debt ratio) increased from 50.4% at December
     31, 1994 to 53.1% at March 31, 1995, primarily as the result of the
     increase in total debt (Grace's total debt and debt ratio were $1,851.1
     million and 54.8%, respectively, at March 31, 1994).

     Also included in other financing activities in the first quarter of 1995
     was the acquisition of 268,348 shares of the Company's Common Stock for a
     purchase price of $12.1 million (or $45 per share), as part of the
     termination of the employment agreement of the Company's former President
     and Chief Executive Officer.


                                      I-10
<PAGE>

     Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of
     Operations and Financial Condition (Continued)


     Grace expects to satisfy its 1995 cash requirements primarily from funds
     generated by operations and, to a lesser extent, from proceeds from
     divestments.  Any net excess or deficit will be applied to or satisfied by
     financings.  Although Grace expects that any net new borrowings would be
     short-term debt, the maturities and other terms of any financings will
     depend on market conditions prevailing at the time.  Grace has access to a
     variety of capital resources, including the commercial paper and bank
     funding markets, in addition to its credit agreements.  Consequently,
     management believes that new borrowings will be available to meet Grace's
     needs.

     ASBESTOS-RELATED MATTERS

     As reported in Note (b) to the consolidated financial statements in this
     Report, Grace is a defendant in lawsuits relating to previously sold
     asbestos-containing products and is involved in related litigation with
     certain of its insurance carriers.  In the first quarter of 1995, Grace
     received $69.1 million under settlements with certain insurance carriers,
     net of amounts paid for the defense and disposition of asbestos-related
     property damage and personal injury litigation.  The balance sheet at March
     31, 1995 includes a receivable due from insurance carriers, subject to
     litigation, of $512.6 million.  Grace has also recorded a receivable of
     approximately $87 million for amounts to be received in 1995 to 1999
     pursuant to settlement agreements previously entered into with certain
     insurance carriers.

     Although Grace cannot precisely estimate the amounts to be paid in 1995 in
     respect of asbestos-related lawsuits and claims, Grace expects that it will
     be required to expend approximately $30 million (pretax) in 1995 to defend
     and dispose of such lawsuits and claims (after giving effect to payments to
     be received from certain insurance carriers, as discussed above and in Note
     (b) to the consolidated financial statements in this Report).  As indicated
     therein, the amounts reflected in the consolidated financial statements
     with respect to the probable cost of disposing of pending asbestos lawsuits
     and claims and probable recoveries from insurance carriers represent
     estimates; neither the outcomes of such lawsuits and claims nor the
     outcomes of Grace's ongoing litigations with certain of its insurance
     carriers can be predicted with certainty.

     ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS

     There were no significant developments relating to environmental
     liabilities in the first quarter of 1995.

     For additional information relating to environmental liabilities, see Note
     11 to the consolidated financial statements in the Company's 1994 Annual
     Report on Form 10-K.

                           PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   LEGAL PROCEEDINGS.

     (a)  Note (b) to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Part I of this
Report is incorporated herein by reference.

     (b)  In March 1993, an action was filed in the U.S. District Court for the
Southern District of Texas against Grace Drilling Company, a subsidiary of the
Company the business and assets of which have since been sold, and several
other defendants, for alleged violations of the Clean Water Act and the Rivers
and Harbors Act (U.S. V. FINA OIL AND CHEMICAL CO., ET AL.).  The government
alleges that seagrasses and seabeds around a drilling rig operated by Fina Oil
and Chemical Co. were damaged in connection with the placing, servicing and
removal of the rig.  The government is seeking injunctive relief requiring the
defendants to restore the damaged areas and to compensate for temporary loss of
the seagrass habitat, as well as civil penalties of up to $25,000 per day of
violation and attorneys' fees.

     (c)  Reference is made to the section entitled "Shareholder Litigation" in
Item 3 of the Company's 1994 Annual Report on Form 10-K.  Claims similar to
those made in the two lawsuits described in such section have been made in three
additional lawsuits brought against the Company and all of its directors (as
well as J.P. Bolduc, who resigned as President, Chief Executive Officer and a
director of the Company in March 1995, and J. Peter Grace, who passed away in
April 1995).  Each of these three


                                      II-1

<PAGE>

lawsuits was brought in New York State Supreme Court, New York County, in April
1995 (WALD V. GRACE, ET AL., Index No. 95-108841; LOVE V. BOLDUC, ET AL., Index
No. 95-108586; and STEINER V. GRACE, ET AL., Index No. 95-108482).  Each action
purports to be a derivative action (I.E., an action brought on behalf of the
Company) and seeks, among other things, unspecified damages, attorneys' fees and
costs, and such other relief as the Court deems proper.  The parties to the five
lawsuits have agreed to the consolidation of all five actions.
