              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

                                  (UNAUDITED)

a. The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements have
been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and
footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting
of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation have
been included. Operating results for the three months ended September 30, 1994
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year
ending June 30, 1995. For further information, refer to the consolidated
financial statements and footnotes thereto included in the Company's Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 1994.

b. Effective August 2, 1993, the Company purchased all of the outstanding
capital stock of Zynolyte Products Company ("Zynolyte") for $16,300,000 in cash.
Zynolyte is a producer of aerosol and specialty brush-applied paint products.
Its annual revenues were approximately $27 million for the year ended January
31, 1993.

c. Effective August 1, 1994, the Company acquired substantially all of the
assets and assumed certain liabilities of Sinclair Paint Company ("Sinclair"), a
division of Insilco Corporation, for approximately $55 million in cash.
Sinclair's revenues for calendar year 1993 amounted to approximately $95
million. The transaction resulted in approximately $15 million in cost in excess
of net assets acquired which is being amortized over 40 years. In connection
with the acquisition, the Company's revolving loan facility was increased from
$40 million to $60 million and $26 million was borrowed thereunder.

   The following unaudited pro forma summary presents the consolidated
results of operations as if the acquisition of Sinclair had occurred at the
beginning of the periods presented and does not purport to be indicative of what
would have occurred had the acquisition been made as of those dates or of
results which may occur in the future.
