                                                  ========            ========

The Company uses the LIFO method in inventory valuation for approximately 70% of
inventories  where an actual  valuation can be made only at the end of each year
based on the inventory levels and costs at that time. Accordingly,  interim LIFO
calculations  must  necessarily be based on  management's  estimates of expected
year-end  inventory  levels and costs.  Since  these are  subject to many forces
beyond management's  control,  interim results are subject to the final year-end
LIFO inventory  valuation.  The Company estimates the annual adjustment for LIFO
and allocates it to quarters based on actual inflation  experienced in a quarter
as it relates to anticipated inflation for the year.

NOTE D--RESTRUCTURING

The  Company  has  adopted  and  commenced   implementation  of  plans  for  the
consolidation  of  manufacturing   facilities  related  to  the  April  8,  1996
acquisition of Guardsman  Products,  Inc. These plans will result in the closure
of some plants and workforce  reductions  totaling  approximately 250 employees.
Closure costs consist of facility and equipment valuation adjustments, inventory
disposal costs, dismantling and maintenance costs, and termination benefits. The
primary employee groups affected include manufacturing,  selling, administrative
and research and development  personnel.  It is anticipated  these plans will be
completed by the end of fiscal 1997.

Costs associated with the planned closure of former Lilly facilities and related
reductions  in workforce  are  reflected as  restructuring  charges  included in
second  quarter  operations.  These charges  totaled  $9,607,000,  which reduced
second quarter net income by $5,284,000 or $.23 per share. The components of the
restructuring  charges and amounts paid or charged against these reserves are as
follows (in thousands):

NOTE E--ACQUISITION                                           

Lilly  acquired  9,322,583  shares or about  96.5% of the  outstanding  stock of
Guardsman Products,  Inc.  ("Guardsman")  pursuant to a cash tender offer of $23
per share for all the outstanding  stock of Guardsman.  The tender offer expired
on April 4, 1996 and the shares  tendered were accepted for purchase on April 8,
1996.  Pursuant to a follow-up merger, all non-tendered shares of Guardsman were
converted  into the  right to  receive  $23 net per  share in cash  (subject  to
perfected  dissenters' rights, if any). To finance the purchase of shares, Lilly
obtained  commitments  for $300 million of senior secured credit  facilities and
used $275  million of these  facilities  to pay-off  existing  debt and fund the
initial  purchase  of  shares,  and to pay  related  expenses.  The  acquisition
transactions were recorded using the purchase method and consolidated  financial
statements  include the results of  operations  of  Guardsman  since the date of
acquisition. The excess of the purchase price

over the fair value of assets acquired is being  amortized by the  straight-line
method over 40 years.

The following unaudited pro forma consolidated results of operations for the six
months ended May 31, 1996 and 1995 are stated as though the acquisition occurred
on December 1, 1994 (in thousands, except per share data):

       restructuring  changes of $9,607  which  reduced  net income by $5,284 or
       $.23 per share.

The pro forma consolidated results of operations are not necessarily  indicative
of the actual  results of  operations  that would have occurred had the purchase
been made at December 1, 1994, or of future results of operations.



Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Results of Operations and
         Financial Condition.

Record Revenues;  Guardsman Acquired and Assimilated.  On April 8 Lilly acquired
Guardsman  Products,  Inc.  ("Guardsman")  for  $235  million  cash,  all  of it
borrowed.  Lilly's 2nd quarter  operations  ended May 31 included  two months of
Guardsman's  revenues  and as a result,  record  sales were  achieved.  Although
inclusion of Guardsman's  revenues accounted for the major portion of that sales
increase,  a portion was due to a general  resurgence  in business that began in
early April.

Second Quarter Results
Our second  quarter  income  statement  illustrates  the effect of the Guardsman
acquisition. Sales increased to $131.7 million, up 54% over those of last year's
second quarter.

Earnings  were also  affected by the  Guardsman  acquisition.  Earnings for this
year's second quarter were three cents a share compared with twenty-five cents a
share last year. Except for the one-time  restructuring  charge of $9.6 million,
earnings  would have been a second  quarter  record of 26 cents per share.  This
one-time charge of $9.6 million pre-tax relates to certain facility closings and
employment  reductions  that  will  enable  Lilly  to  reduce  future  operating
expenses.  Thus, our combined operations were able to generate sufficient income
to write off the entire $9.6 million  restructuring charge in a single quarter -
and still show a profit.

Acquisition Summary
We  completed  the  entire  Guardsman  acquisition  in less  than 90 days - from
initial  offer,  to payment  for the  Guardsman  shares,  to  identifying  major
cost-savings,  as well as accounting  for those costs and absorbing  them in the
same quarter.  Further, the two companies are now operating as one. Finally, the
Guardsman  acquisition also brought us a sixth Strategic Business Unit, which we
renamed "Guardsman Products" to more closely reflect the nature of its business.
This business unit sells a variety of consumer and OEM related

                                  Page 9 of 14



<PAGE>



products, including the well-known Guardsman furniture polish and Fabri-coat
fabric protection.

Our initial  goal was to carve out a minimum of $20 million in annual  operating
expenses  over the first twelve to  twenty-four  months.  Based on the redundant
costs we have  identified  after two months of  ownership,  we will surpass that
goal.

The first $20  million of savings  will cover the  interest  expense on the $235
million we  borrowed  to acquire  Guardsman.  Thus,  we do not expect to utilize
Guardsman's  pre-tax  earnings  ($15  million  last  year) to pay that  interest
expense - once the identified cost savings have been fully implemented.

Near-term Outlook
We expect  sales to increase  further  during the next two quarters  because:  o
Business has been  running  ahead of last year since  April;  o Each  subsequent
quarter will include a full three months of Guardsman
         revenues compared to only two months in the second quarter; and
o        Synergy is already at work - customers are now being exposed to the
         wider range of services and technology provided by THE NEW LILLY.

We also look for increased earnings because:
o        No additional restructuring costs will be incurred;
o        Selling, general and administrative expenses, as a percent of sales,
         should begin to trend lower as plans for cost reductions are fully
         implemented; and
o        The combination of higher sales and reduced operating costs should act
         as an accelerant to earnings.

Accordingly, we believe profits for our fiscal year ended November 30, 1996 will
exceed  those of last year,  before the  one-time  restructuring  charge of $9.6
million is considered.

Other
In other  action,  the Board of Directors  increased  its  membership  to eleven
members and elected Paul K. Gaston,  Guardsman's former Chairman,  to the vacant
post.  Mr.  Gaston's   familiarity  with  Guardsman  operations  and  his  legal
experience with Warner Norcross & Judd LLP, where he served as managing partner,
should make him a valuable contributor to Lilly.

The Board of Directors  declared its regular  quarterly  dividend of 8 cents per
share,  payable  October 1 to shareholders of record at the close of business on
September 10. This is the 230th consecutive dividend paid by the Company.
