NOTE C--INVENTORIES

The  principal   inventory   classifications   are  summarized  as  follows  (in
thousands):

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

The Company uses the LIFO method in inventory valuation for approximately 82% 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

In 1996 the Company  implemented  plans for the  consolidation  of manufacturing
facilities related to the Guardsman acquisition. These plans include the closure
of some Lilly and Guardsman plants and workforce  reductions.  It is anticipated
these plans will be completed by the end of fiscal 1997.

Costs  associated  with the planned  closure of Lilly  facilities  and workforce
reductions  were recorded in the 1996 second quarter as a  restructuring  charge
totaling  $9,607,000,  which reduced net income by $5,284,000 or $.23 per share.
The components of the  restructuring  charge and amounts paid or charged against
these reserves are as follows (in thousands):

                                                 Costs Paid       Ending

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

Costs associated with the planned closure of Guardsman  facilities and workforce
reductions  were  recorded as  liabilities  in the opening  balance sheet of the
combined entity as of the acquisition  date. The components of these liabilities
and  amounts  paid  or  charged  against  these  reserves  are  as  follows  (in
thousands):

NOTE E--ACQUISITION

On April 8, 1996 the Company  acquired all the  outstanding  shares of Guardsman
Products,  Inc.  ("Guardsman")  for  $235,000,000  in  cash.  The  Company  used
$275,000,000  of senior  secured credit  facilities to finance the  acquisition,
pay-off existing debt and to pay related expenses.  The acquisition was recorded
using the purchase method and the consolidated  financial statements include the
results of operations of Guardsman since the date of acquisition. The fair value
of net assets  acquired  include  $40,031,000 net working  capital,  $50,246,000
noncurrent assets,  $213,642,000 intangible assets,  $28,549,000 long-term debt,
and  $40,370,000  noncurrent  liabilities.  Goodwill is being  amortized  by the
straight-line method over 40 years.

The following  unaudited pro forma  consolidated  results of operations  for the
three months ended  February 28, 1997 and February 29, 1996 are stated as though
the  acquisition  occurred on December 1, 1995 (in  thousands,  except per share
data):

                                                  Three Months Ended

                                                   1997             1996
                                               --------------------

                  Net sales                       $142,160       $141,398
                  Net income                         4,710          3,569
                  Net income per share                 .20            .16


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, 1995, or of future results of operations.


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

Record Sales and Earnings

Our sales and earnings set new records for  performance for any first quarter in
our history.  Sales for the first quarter ended February 28 rose 94% to a record
$142.2 million  compared with $73.3 million for the same quarter a year earlier.
Earnings increased to a first quarter record of $4.7 million, 35% above the $3.5
million  recorded for the 1996 first  quarter.  Earnings per share were 20 cents
for 1997 compared with 15 cents for 1996. The  improvement in sales and earnings
reflected the contribution  realized from Guardsman Products,  Inc. (Guardsman),
which Lilly  acquired  last April,  and  improved  operations  from Lilly's core
businesses.

Our first quarter  results were on target with our  projections.  Traditionally,
our first quarter  revenues are lower than other quarters due to the seasonality
of our customers' volume  requirements.  Thus, we were pleased with our increase
in sales, which included contributions from the business acquired from Guardsman
and improved sales of wood and metal coatings.

Earnings held up reasonably well,  particularly in the face of the onetime costs
we are incurring at new manufacturing  facilities.  These costs include start-up
expenses  associated  with  three  new  facilities  located  at  Bowling  Green,
Kentucky;  Charlotte, North Carolina; and Ballinamore,  Ireland.  Investments in
new facilities are needed to satisfy customer requirements in 1998 and beyond.

On balance,  this year's first quarter is a continuation of the progress we made
during  the last  three  quarters  of  fiscal  1996.  We've  moved  through  the
acquisition of Guardsman in an accretive manner,  and we are continuing with our
plan to consolidate certain plants to improve  manufacturing  efficiencies.  One
such  consolidation is the recently announced movement of all manufacturing from
our South Gate, California facility to our Montebello, California site.

The  consolidation  of these two plants will improve raw  material  procurement,
inventory management, manufacturing and customer service on the west coast.

New Chief Operating Officer

On February 24, 1997,  Robert A. Taylor was appointed  Executive  Vice President
and Chief Operating  Officer of the Company.  For the past 25 years,  Bob Taylor
has held various domestic and international  technical and management  positions
within  the  industrial  coatings  industry.  Most  recently,  he was  the  Vice
President and General Manager of our global wood coatings business unit.

Technology Exchange Agreement

On February 20, 1997,  Lilly reached an agreement  with the Sigma Coatings Group
("Sigma"),  a  subsidiary  of  PetroFina,  to enter into a  technology  exchange
agreement between our respective coil coatings  business units.  Sigma is one of
Europe's leading suppliers of chemical coatings.

This   agreement   will  provide  both   companies  with  access  to  additional
technologies to better serve market and customer requirements. Our combined coil
research  and  development  programs  will be  synergized  by the support of the
largest  team  of  highly  qualified  scientists  cooperating  together  on coil
coatings projects.

233rd Consecutive Cash Dividend

The Board of Directors declared the 233rd consecutive quarterly cash dividend on
March 21, 1997.  The eight cent per share  dividend will be paid on July 1, 1997
to shareholders of record on June 10, 1997.
