                            CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Rohm and Haas earnings have come far since this time last year--from a
reported loss of $21 million for the third quarter of 1993 to earnings of $55
million for the third quarter of 1994.

Much of the swing is due to the absence of unusual charges this year, but
external factors also have changed dramatically: European economies have
picked up quite a bit, and currency comparisons currently are in our favor.

Unit volume growth remained very good, though the rate of growth has slowed
somewhat from the pace of earlier quarters in 1994.

Internal costs are under much better control than they were last year
at this time, thanks to the persistent ongoing efforts of employees around
the world.  Selling and administrative expenses are down $4 million from
the third quarter of 1993; research costs also are $4 million lower for
that period, $11 million for the year to date.  Capital spending for the
year will be substantially below the $350 million mark we anticipated
earlier in the year.

We have seen an improvement in our safety record, with overall injuries down
one-third from 1993.  However, a recent contractor fatality and a subsequent
incident at the Houston plant reaffirm that we cannot rest until we achieve an
injury-free workplace for all.

Raw material costs have leapt upward during the past few months.  All
indications predict they will remain high for the foreseeable future.  We are
instituting price increases that are necessary to maintain the viability of
our businesses.

Through the first nine months of the year, we have tallied $217 million in
earnings.  Barring any unforeseen dramatic occurrences during the next few
weeks, we will reach a new earnings high in 1994.  Unfortunately, it will have
taken us six years to surpass the $230 million mark set in 1988, and our
return on equity for the year will not match the 20 percent return on equity
we saw in 1988.  We will continue to increase our productivity in pursuit of
our goal of 20 percent return on equity.

<PAGE>

                     MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

THIRD QUARTER 1994 VERSUS
THIRD QUARTER 1993

Third quarter 1994 earnings were $55 million, compared to a loss of $21
million in the third quarter of 1993.  Earnings per common share were 78
cents, up from a loss of 34 cents reported in the 1993 period.  The prior-year
period included after-tax charges of $50 million related to asset writedowns
and environmental remediation costs.  Absent these non-recurring items,
earnings increased 90%.  Sales of $874 million were 9% higher, compared with
the prior-year period.  Volume was up 6%, with all regions and business
groups, except Agricultural Chemicals, reporting increases.  The higher
earnings reflect the benefit of volume gains, excellent plant operations,
reduced selling, administrative and research costs and strengthening European
currencies.  Selling prices were slightly lower than the prior-year period,
excluding currency effects, and raw material costs increased 7%.

Polymers, Resins and Monomers earnings were $43 million, up 54% from the
prior-year period.  Sales increased 9% due to a 6% volume gain.  All
businesses reported volume increases, with the largest gains in the European
and Pacific regions.  Earnings also benefited from smooth plant operations,
favorable currency comparisons, and reduced selling, administrative and
research costs.  However, higher raw material costs partly offset these
earnings gains.

Plastics reported earnings of $15 million, up $5 million compared to 1993,
excluding an $18 million after-tax charge in 1993 for the writedown of a
production line in Kentucky.  Volume and sales increased 12%.  Additives used
in PVC had strong volume growth in Europe and the Pacific.  Additives used in
engineering resins reported double-digit growth in North America and Europe.
AtoHaas North America reported significant volume increases for Plexiglas MC
sheet and acrylic molding resins.  Favorable plant operations and currency
movements also contributed to the earnings improvement.  AtoHaas Europe's loss
for the third quarter was equal to the prior-year period.

Performance Chemicals recorded earnings of $3 million, compared to a loss of
$2 million in 1993.  Sales increased 10% on 6% higher volume.  Strong volume
gains were reported by Biocides in the European, Pacific and Latin American
regions and by Electronic Chemicals in North America and Europe.  Despite
volume gains and reduced selling,

2

<PAGE>

administrative and research costs, the Ion Exchange Resins business continued
to report losses due to deeply depressed selling prices caused by intense
competition.

Agricultural Chemicals earnings were breakeven for the quarter, compared to a
$2 million loss in the third quarter of 1993.  Sales increased 8%, but volume
declined 8%, thus reflecting a higher-priced product mix.  The lower volume
was caused by reduced Dithane sales due to adverse weather conditions in
Europe and the Pacific and reduced spending by growers in Latin America.
Earnings also benefited from smooth plant operations.

Net sales were $874 million, up 9% from last year's results due to a 6% volume
increase.  The third quarter gross profit margin increased to 34% from 33% in
1993, excluding asset writedowns in 1993, due to higher production volume and
smooth plant operations.  Raw material costs were 7% higher than the prior
year.  The increase in raw material costs is due mainly to capacity shortages
for key commodity materials, including propylene, methanol, acetone, ammonia
and styrene.  These increased costs are capacity-related and are expected to
remain high for the foreseeable future.

Selling, administrative and research expenses declined 4%, reflecting cost
containment efforts begun in the latter part of 1993.  Interest expense
increased $1 million due to higher interest rates.  Other expense, net, was
$11 million, down from $54 million in 1993.  The current year included
severance costs related to restructuring certain operations in Europe and
North America.  The prior-year period included $50 million for environmental
remediation.

NINE MONTHS 1994 VERSUS
NINE MONTHS 1993

Earnings for the first nine months were $217 million, up from last year's
earnings of $100 million (before cumulative effect of an accounting change for
postemployment benefits).  Earnings per common share were $3.12, compared with
$1.39 in 1993.  Nineteen ninety-three included a net charge of $55 million
related to asset writedowns, environmental remediation and the sale of a
subsidiary.  Absent these unusual items, earnings increased 40%.  Net sales of
$2,674 million were 7% higher than 1993.  Earnings benefited from 8% higher
volume, smooth plant operations and the strengthening of European currencies
and the Yen.  Lower selling prices and higher raw material costs adversely
impacted results.

                                                                             3
<PAGE>

Polymers, Resins and Monomers earnings of $135 million were up 32% from 1993.
Sales increased 8% and volume increased 9%.  Volume gains were reported in all
regions.  Significant increases were recorded by the specialty industrial
polymers, industrial coatings, architectural coatings, adhesives, and
construction products businesses.  The higher volume and favorable plant
operations were responsible for the earnings improvement.

Plastics recorded earnings of $45 million, compared to $25 million in 1993,
excluding after-tax charges of $34 million in 1993 for asset writedowns.
Sales increased 10% on 11% higher volume.  Additives used in PVC and
engineering resins experienced good volume growth in the North American,
European and Pacific regions.  AtoHaas North America reported increased volume
for all product lines.  AtoHaas Europe had significantly reduced losses
compared to 1993.

Performance Chemicals reported earnings of $29 million, up from last year's
earnings of $15 million, excluding an $11 million gain in 1993 from the sale
of Supelco.  Sales were up 7% on 5% higher volume, excluding Supelco.
Biocides reported volume gains in all regions.  Electronic Chemicals had
strong growth in North America and Europe.  Earnings improved due to volume
increases and a more favorable product mix.  The Ion Exchange Resins business
continued to suffer from depressed pricing due to intense competition, higher
operating costs due to low manufacturing volumes and writedowns of excess
inventories.

Agricultural Chemicals earnings were $37 million, down $1 million from 1993.
Sales increased 3% though volume decreased 1%, due to a more favorable product
mix.  Higher operating costs and selling, administrative and research expenses
resulted in lower earnings.

Net sales of $2,674 million were 7% above last year's results on an 8% volume
increase.  The gross profit margin for the first nine months was 36%, compared
to 35% in the prior period, excluding a charge in 1993 for asset writedowns.
Volume increases and smooth plant operations were the main contributors to the
margin improvement.  Raw material costs were slightly higher than 1993 due to
a significant increase in the cost of commodity materials during the third
quarter and selling prices remained below the prior year's levels.

Selling, administrative and research expenses were down 2% from 1993,
reflecting the results of cost containment

4

<PAGE>

efforts implemented in the second half of 1993.  Interest expense of $37
million was 12% higher than last year due to higher interest rates and lower
capitalization of interest as part of construction in progress.  Affiliate
results were breakeven, reflecting substantially lower losses from the AtoHaas
affiliates.  Other expense, net, was $18 million, down $43 million from 1993.
The current year included severance costs related to restructuring certain
operations in Europe and North America.  The prior-year period included $50
million for environmental remediation.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES
AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

At the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $122 million, up
$87 million from the 1993 year-end balance.  Customer receivables were up $109
million during the first nine months, reflecting higher sales and a normal
seasonal pattern.  Inventories were up $39 million, due to the second quarter
acquisition of the Monsanto pyridine herbicide business.  The debt-to-equity
ratio, calculated without the reduction to stockholders' equity for the ESOP,
was 44% at the end of September, compared with 48% at year-end 1993.

Fixed asset additions during the first nine months of 1994 totaled $211
million, including an agricultural chemicals manufacturing facility acquired
from Monsanto in the second quarter.  Spending for the full year is expected
to be approximately $325 million, and includes expenditures for capacity
expansion for acrylic acid at Houston, Texas, a new research laboratory
building at Bristol, Pennsylvania and a new biocides production facility at
Bayport, Texas.

On October 13, 1994, the board of directors declared regular quarterly
dividends of $.37 per common share and $.6875 per preferred share.  Both
dividends are payable December 1, 1994, to stockholders of record on November
4, 1994.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(A) These interim financial statements are unaudited, but, in the opinion of
    management, all adjustments, which are of a normal recurring nature,
    have been made to present fairly the company's financial position,
    results of operations and cash flows.  It is suggested that these
    financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial
    statements, accounting policies and the notes included in the company's
    annual report for the year ended December 31, 1993.

(B) The company is a party in various government enforcement and private
    actions associated with former waste disposal sites.  The company is
    also involved in corrective actions at some of its manufacturing
    facilities.  The amounts charged to earnings before tax for
    environmental remediation were $17 million and $60 million for the nine
    months ended September 30, 1994 and 1993, respectively.  The 1993 period
    included an accrual of $50 million for the cost of remediating lake and
    marsh property near the Lipari landfill.  At September 30, 1994, the
    reserves for remediation were $179 million and probable insurance
    recoveries were $72 million.

    In addition to accrued environmental liabilities, the company has
    reasonably possible loss contingencies relating to environmental matters
    of approximately $115 million.  The company knows that additional future
    environmental remediation may be required, but these loss contingencies
    are not reasonably estimable at this time.  The company believes that
    these matters, when ultimately resolved, which may be over an extended
    period of time, will not have a material adverse effect on the
    consolidated financial position of the company, but could have a
    material adverse effect on consolidated results of operations in any
    given quarter.

(C) The company and its subsidiaries are parties to litigation arising out
    of the ordinary conduct of its business.  Recognizing the amounts
    reserved for such items and the uncertainty of the outcome, it is the
    company's opinion that the resolution of all pending lawsuits and claims
    will not have a material adverse effect, individually or in the
    aggregate, upon the results of operations and the consolidated financial
    position of the company.

(D) Inventories consist of:
    (Millions of dollars)
                                 SEPT. 30,        Dec. 31,       Sept. 30,
                                   1994             1993            1993
