The Company uses the LIFO method in inventory valuation for approximately 68% 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.

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


Sales and net  income per share  were the  highest  of any first  quarter in the
Company's  history.  Sales for the quarter ended February 28, 1998 were a record
$143.3 million  compared with $142.2 million for the same quarter last year. The
Company's base revenue was up slightly as sales from the German acquisition were
offset by unfavorable  foreign  currency  translation  and the divestment of the
retail paint business.

Diluted  net  income  per share was 22 cents for the 1998  first  quarter,  a 10
percent increase from last year's 20 cents.  Basic net income per share was also
22 cents.  This result was achieved despite a $771,000  increase in Research and
Development  expense.  The  increase  in  R&D  is  attributable  to  the  German
acquisition, continued emphasis on new and improved products, and the pursuit of
new markets.

Interest  expense was down $506,000 for the quarter,  reflecting  lower interest
rates and debt  levels.  Total debt of $234  million is down $22.6  million from
February,  1997. The effective tax rate is 44%, down from 45% last year. Foreign
tax planning initiatives are the primary reason for the improvement.

Historically,  the first  quarter is the lowest  volume  quarter  due in part to
holiday  shutdowns.  With recent  marketplace  initiatives  and  continued  cost
controls, 1998 should be another successful year.

The Board of  Directors  declared a quarterly  cash  dividend of eight cents per
common share,  payable July 1, 1998, to  shareholders  of record at the close of
business on June 10, 1998. This marks the Company's 237th consecutive  quarterly
dividend.
