                                  (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 month and six month periods ended
December 31, 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.

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, with Chemical Bank
as agent, was increased from $40 million to $60 million and $26 million was
borrowed thereunder. During the quarter ended December 31, 1994, the revolving
loan facility was increased to $75 million and Wells Fargo Bank became a
