the Pro Forma Consolidated Statement of Income for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 
1996 and the year ended December 30, 1995, present the consolidated financial

of the beginning of 1995, respectively. In the opinion of management, they 
include all material adjustments necessary to restate Premark's historical

           NOTES TO THE PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
                                  (Unaudited)
 
Note 1.
 
  The accompanying unaudited Pro Forma Consolidated Financial Information 
reflects all adjustments which, in the opinion of management, are necessary to 
present a fair statement of the financial position and results of operations. 
This information does not include certain disclosures required under generally 
accepted accounting principles and, therefore, should be read in conjunction 
with Premark's historical financial statements and notes thereto. 
 
Note 2.
 
  The pro forma adjustments to the accompanying financial information as of and
for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 1996, and for the year ended December 30, 1995
are described below: 
 
  (a) To record the receipt of a $284.9 million Special Dividend from Dart 
Industries Inc. ("Dart"), a subsidiary of Tupperware, and the funding by 
Tupperware of 65% ($12.0 million) of the amount necessary to pay the dividend 
declared on Premark Common Stock on May 1, 1996 and the associated increase in 
cash and decrease in debt and interest expense. Interest expense assumed to be 
avoided is equal to the average amount of short-term borrowings actually 
outstanding during the periods at their weighted average interest rates. 
 
  (b) To record the estimated income tax expense on the income effect of pro 
forma adjustment (a) above at the combined federal, state, and local income tax
rate of 39%. 
 
  (c) To record the Distribution of Premark's 100% equity interest in 
Tupperware to Premark's shareholders. 
 
Note 3.
 
  Per share information is based upon the 63.2 million and 63.8 million common 
and common equivalent shares reflected in Premark's consolidated statement of 
income for the 13 weeks ended March 30, 1996, and the year ended December 30, 
1995, respectively. When the Distribution is completed, it is expected that the
outstanding options to purchase Premark Common Stock, which are held by Premark
officers and employees, will continue to be solely for the purchase of Premark 
Common Stock, and that options held by Tupperware officers and employees will 
be converted to options to purchase solely Tupperware Common Stock. The number 
of Premark shares under option and their exercise prices will be set in a 
manner that will maintain in the aggregate the excess of market value over 
exercise price of the existing options immediately prior to the Distribution. 
The number of common and common equivalent shares used to compute earnings per 
share after the Distribution will depend on the market price of Premark's 
Common Stock at that time, but is expected to be higher than 63.2 million.
