NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
LILLY INDUSTRIES, INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES
AUGUST 31, 2000

NOTE A--BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated 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 Article 10 of
Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of 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.  The results of operations for the three and nine month periods
ended August 31, 2000 are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full
year.

The balance sheet at November 30, 1999 has been derived from the audited
financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information
and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements.

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 November 30, 1999.

NOTE B--INVENTORIES

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

                                             =======       =======
</TABLE>

The Company uses the LIFO method of inventory valuation for approximately 61% of
inventories.  For these inventories, 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 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 C--SEGMENT INFORMATION

The Company operates within three business segments which serve three end-use
markets: wood coatings; metal coatings; and composites and glass coatings.
Products sold to these markets have similar economic characteristics, production
processes, distribution methods, and regulatory environments.  Based on these
similarities, the Company's products are aggregated into one reportable segment,
Industrial Coatings and Specialty Chemicals.

Net sales of Industrial Coatings and Specialty Chemical products by end-use
markets are as follows (in thousands):

NOTE F--NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARD

Effective December 1, 1999, the Company adopted the American Institute of
Certified Public Accountants' (AICPA) Statement of Position (SOP) 98-5,
"Reporting for the Costs of Start-Up Activities."  The SOP requires start-up
costs capitalized prior to December 1, 1999 to be written off and any future
start-up costs to be expensed as incurred.  The unamortized balance of start-up
costs was written off as of December 1, 1999.  The effect of this change in
accounting principle on consolidated earnings was immaterial.

NOTE G--MERGER AGREEMENT AND SUBSEQUENT EVENT

On June 26, 2000, the Company announced it had entered into a definitive merger
agreement with The Valspar Corporation ("Valspar") whereby Valspar will acquire
all outstanding shares of the Company's Class A and Class B common stock for
$31.75 per share in cash, and the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary
of Valspar.  On September 27, 2000, the Company's shareholders approved the
merger agreement with The Valspar Corporation.  Approval by the Lilly
Stockholders is a condition to completion of the merger, which remains subject
to satisfaction of other customary closing conditions, including expiration or
termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust
Improvements Act.  The companies expect to complete the proposed merger by year
end.  However, no assurances can be made that the companies will receive the
necessary governmental clearances on acceptable terms to complete the merger by
then.

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

Results of Operations - Three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2000

The Company's net sales for the third quarter of 2000 increased by $1.8 million
or 1.0% to $171.2 million compared to the third quarter of 1999. Sales momentum
softened during the third quarter. Most major product lines were relatively even
with the same quarter a year ago. Net sales for the nine month period ended
August 31, 2000 increased by $21.7 million or 4.4% to $508.6 million compared to
the same period in 1999.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 2000 was 38.8% of net sales, representing
an increase of 0.9 percentage points over the same period a year ago. For the
nine month period ended August 31, 2000, gross profit was 38.0%, a decline of
0.5 percentage points compared to last year. The decline in the nine month gross
profit percentage is directly related to the rapid cost escalation in petroleum-
based raw materials, and transition start-up costs associated with increased
capacity.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of net sales, for
the three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2000, increased by 1.0 and 0.6
percentage points to 24.7% and 24.9% respectively, over the same periods in
1999. These increases are due to higher selling expenses related to growth in
international markets, increased freight expenses and marketing initiatives.

Operating income as a percentage of net sales, for the third quarter of 2000
increased by 0.1 percentage points to 11.0% over the same period a year ago.
Operating income as a percentage of net sales, for the nine month period ended
August 31, 2000 decreased by 0.9 percentage points to 9.9% over the same period
a year ago, as increased raw material costs and selling, general and
administrative expenses offset increases in net sales.

Net interest expense for the three and nine month periods ended August 31, 2000
increased by 9.0% and 6.3% respectively, over the same periods a year ago, due
to slightly higher average interest rates and debt levels.

Net income for the third quarter of 2000 increased by 4.6% to $9.1 million
compared to the same period a year ago. Net income for the nine month period
ended August 31, 2000 decreased by $1.2 million or 4.9% to $22.7 million over
the same period in 1999, due to higher raw material costs and selling, general
and administrative expenses.

During the third quarter of 2000, the Company's effective tax rate declined 1.0
percentage point to 40%, due to lower statutory rates in Canada and continued
tax planning initiatives.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Cash provided by operating activities for the nine month period ended August 31,
2000 decreased by $2.9 million compared to the same period a year ago. The
decrease in cash provided by operating activities is primarily due to changes in
working capital and non-current liabilities.

Cash used by investing activities for the nine month period ended August 31,
2000 decreased by $10.8 million compared to the same period a year ago, which
was primarily due to lower capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities for the nine month period ended August 31,
2000 decreased by $3.3 million over the same period a year ago due to lower
proceeds from borrowings as compared to the same period in 1999.

The Company believes funds available from internal and external sources will be
sufficient to meet the liquidity needs of the Company.

Environmental

The Company's operations, like those of most companies in the industrial
coatings and specialty chemicals industry, are subject to regulations related to
maintaining or improving the quality of the environment. Such regulations, along
with the Company's own internal compliance efforts, have required, and will
continue to require, ongoing expenditures. Spending for environmental compliance
is not anticipated to be material to the Company's financial position. The
Company has been notified that it is a potentially responsible party for clean-
up costs with respect to several government investigations at independently-
operated waste disposal sites previously used by the Company. Management has
accrued, as appropriate, for these environmental liabilities. Management
believes the liabilities associated with these sites will not have a material
adverse effect on its operating results or financial position.
