REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
October 11, 1996
To the Participants and Administrator of the
Retirement and Savings Plan of Loctite Puerto Rico, Inc.
(Savings Plan Fund only)
We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for benefits
of the Retirement and Savings Plan of Loctite Puerto Rico, Inc. (Savings Plan
Fund only) (the Plan) as of June 30, 1996 and 1995, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for benefits for the years then ended. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audit.
We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally
accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to
obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of
material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence
supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing
the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as
well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that
our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for benefits of the Plan as of
June 30, 1996 and 1995 and the changes in net assets available for benefits for
the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted accounting
principles.
Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The additional information included in
Schedule I is presented for purposes of additional analysis and is not a
required part of the basic financial statements but is additional information
required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting and
Disclosures under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974. The
additional schedule and fund information have been subjected to the auditing
procedures applied in the audits of the basic financial statements and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

RETIREMENT AND SAVINGS PLAN OF
LOCTITE PUERTO RICO, INC.
(SAVINGS PLAN FUND ONLY)
NOTES TO THE FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1 - REPORTING ENTITY:
Retirement and Savings Plan of Loctite Puerto Rico, Inc. (savings plan fund
only) (the "Plan") was established on July 1, 1989. It is administered by a
Savings Plan Committee appointed by the Committee on Human Resources of the
board of directors of Loctite Puerto Rico, Inc. (the Company). The purpose of
the Plan is to encourage and provide a convenient way for the employees of
Loctite Puerto Rico, Inc. to save on a regular and long-term basis, to provide
additional retirement benefits, and to encourage such employees to make and
continue careers with the Company.
NOTE 2 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN:
The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan Agreement for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.
General
The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering all employees of the Company
who have one year of service (with at least 1,000 hours of service) and are age
twenty one or older. It is subject to the provisions of the Employee Retirement
Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").
Contributions
Participants may contribute up to 16% of their annual compensation. The Company
makes a contribution equivalent to 50% of the first 6% of each participant's
contributions. The Company's contribution is invested solely in the Company's
common stock fund. The participants' and Company's contributions are remitted
monthly to the Trustee.
4
<PAGE> 9
Investments Options
Participants' contributions are invested in any one or more of the following
funds covered by the Plan as selected by the participants:
Company Stock Fund - Funds are invested solely in Loctite Corporation's
common stock. Participants' contributions to the Company's stock fund are
limited to a maximum of 25% of their contributions.
Fixed Income Fund - Funds are invested in guaranteed insurance contracts
("GIC") with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company, CNA Insurance Companies
and New York Life Insurance Company. These contracts are designed to
produce a fixed rate of return.
Diversified Equity Fund - Participants' contributions to the diversified
equity fund are invested in the Fidelity Advisor Equity Portfolio fund.
Foreign Fund - Funds are invested in the Templeton Foreign mutual fund,
which is composed of stocks and debt obligations of companies and
governments outside the United States (U.S.).
U.S. Equity Fund - Funds are invested in the Fidelity Magellan mutual
fund, which is composed mostly of equity investments of domestic (U.S.)
companies.
Participating Employees
There were 286 participating employees in the Plan as of June 30, 1996 and 268
as of June 30, 1995.
Vesting
Participants are fully vested at all times in their contributions and the
investment experience associated therewith. Participants become fully vested in
the Company's contributions and the investment experience associated therewith
when they complete five years of service with the Company. In the event of a
participant's death, disability, or retirement, all amounts in the participant's
account become fully vested.
Loans
During 1995, the Plan was amended to include a Participant Loan Program. The
provisions of the Participant Loan Program are in compliance with ERISA and
Puerto Rico's laws and regulations.
5
<PAGE> 10
A participant may request a loan from its own contribution accounts and the
employers' match contribution. The loan cannot exceed either 50% of the vested
balance in said accounts, or $50,000 less the highest outstanding loan balance
in the prior year. The loan terms range from one to five years or up to 10 years
for the purchase of dwellings. The loans are secured by the balance in the
participants account and bear interest at a rate commensurate with local
prevailing rates as determined by the plan administrator. Principal and interest
are collected through payroll deductions.
Interest earned on the loans is credited to the respective funds from which the
loans were disbursed.
Forfeitures
Forfeitures are used to reduce the employer's contribution.
NOTE 3 - SUMMARY OF ACCOUNTING POLICIES:
Method of Accounting
The Plan's financial statements are prepared on the accrual basis of accounting.
Investments
Plan investments, other than the GIC's, are stated at fair market value in the
financial statements. The Company stock is valued at its quoted market price.
Mutual fund investments are valued at fair value, representing the value at
which shares of the fund may be purchased or redeemed. The fixed income fund,
composed of guaranteed insurance contracts with insurance companies is presented
at contract value.
Payment of Benefits
On termination of service, a participant shall receive a lump-sum amount equal
to the value of his or her account. Active participants may also elect hardship
and in service withdrawals in accordance with plan provisions.

ERISA requires the use of the revalued cost method for reporting realized and
unrealized gains and losses on Form 5500. Under this method, realized gains and
losses are calculated as sales proceeds less the current value as of the
beginning of the year (or acquisition cost if acquired during the year).
Unrealized gains and losses are calculated as current value of investments held
at the end of the year less their current value as of the beginning of the year
(or acquisition cost if acquired during the year). Realized and unrealized gains
and losses calculated using the current value method for the year ended June 30,
1996 and 1995 and the amounts presented in the financial statements are
reconciled as follows:

NOTE 6 - GUARANTEED INSURANCE CONTRACT:
Participants' contributions to the fixed income fund were invested in four
guaranteed insurance contracts: one with Metropolitan Life Insurance Company,
one with CNA Insurance Company and two with New York Life Insurance Company
which guaranteed return ranging from 5.6% to 6.6%, maturing from October 23,
1997 to December 28, 2000.
NOTE 8 - INCOME TAXES:
The Plan has been qualified as tax exempt by the Puerto Rico Department of
Treasury under the provisions of Section 165(a) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax
Act of 1954, as amended. The Plan also qualifies as tax exempt for federal
income tax purposes under the provisions of Section 1022 (i) of ERISA.
Under present U.S. and Puerto Rico income tax laws and regulations, a
participant is not subject to income taxes on the contributions of the company,
or on the interest, dividends or profits on the sale of securities received by
the Trustee until the participant's account is distributed, either partially or
totally, to the participant.
NOTE 9 - FEES AND EXPENSES:
As indicated in the Plan Agreement, the Trustee's fees and all administrative
expenses incurred in the management of the Plan are paid by the Company.
NOTE 10 - PLAN TERMINATION:
Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of plan termination,
participants will become 100 percent vested in their accounts.
