                            CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Rohm and Haas reported earnings for the second quarter of $95 million.

Favorable external conditions and hard work throughout the organization
resulted in higher unit volumes, higher sales and smooth manufacturing
operations.  Both Polymers, Resins and Monomers (PRM) and Plastics reported
double-digit unit volume growth.  The company also began to see the benefit
of productivity improvements being put in place throughout Rohm and Haas to
control selling, administrative and research costs.  The most notable of
these is in research, where costs were down 11 percent from the same period
a year ago.

Happily, there was a decline in another important number during the
quarter -- the number of employee injuries.

With half the year now behind us, it is clear that Rohm and Haas
earnings will be substantially above the $126 million reported for 1993,
and may even exceed the $230 million record earnings reported for 1988.
However, the outlook for the rest of the year is not entirely rosy.  We
have experienced increases in our costs for propylene, ammonia, methanol,
acetone and styrene.  We will have to raise prices for certain product
lines to limit the impact these raw material price increases will have
during the rest of this year.

In order to deliver the financial performance our shareholders have a
right to expect, we must continue to grow the company, satisfy customers
and hold down costs.  Our second quarter results reflect advances in all
three areas, but we know that more progress is necessary to improve our
competitive standing within the industry.

                    MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SECOND QUARTER 1994 VERSUS
SECOND QUARTER 1993

Second quarter 1994 earnings were $95 million, up 51% from last year's
earnings of $63 million.  Earnings per common share were $1.37, up 52% from 90
cents reported in the 1993 period.  The prior-year period included a net
after-tax charge of $5 million related to asset writedowns, net of a gain on
the sale of Supelco.  Absent these non-recurring items, earnings increased
40%.  Sales of $944 million were 7% higher, compared with the prior-year
period.  Volume increased 9% with the strongest improvements in the Polymers,
Resins and Monomers and Plastics business groups.  The increase in earnings
reflects the benefit of higher volumes and smooth plant operations.  Selling
prices were slightly below the prior-year period and raw material costs were
flat.

Polymers, Resins and Monomers (PRM) earnings were $56 million, up 44% from the
prior-year period.  Sales increased 9% and volume was up 11%.  Businesses with
good volume increases included architectural coatings, industrial coatings,
adhesives and construction products.  Earnings also benefited from high
production volumes.

Plastics reported earnings of $15 million, up $8 million compared to
1993, excluding a $16 million after-tax charge in 1993 for asset
writedowns.  Volume increased 10% and sales were up 8%.  PVC additives had
strong volume growth in North America and Europe.  AtoHaas North America
reported volume increases for all product lines.  AtoHaas Europe reported
breakeven results, a significant improvement compared to the prior-year
period.

Performance Chemicals recorded earnings of $15 million, up $5 million compared
to last year's earnings, excluding the 1993 gain on the sale of Supelco.
Sales increased 7% on 5% higher volume, excluding Supelco.  Strong volume
growth was reported by Biocides in North America and Electronic Chemicals in
North America and Europe.  Ion Exchange Resins had volume growth in North
America and Europe, but continued depressed selling prices and inventory
writedowns impacted this business adversely.

Agricultural Chemicals earnings of $19 million were down 14% from the second
quarter of 1993.  Volume declined 3% and sales were flat, due to lower selling
prices and reduced sales of Dithane caused by increased competition in Europe
and reduced spending by growers in Latin America.

North American region earnings were $62 million, up 44% from the prior-year
period, excluding an after-tax gain in 1993 of $11 million from the sale of
Supelco.  Sales and volume increased 9%.  Increased volume and reduced
operating costs contributed to the higher earnings.

<PAGE>

European region earnings were $27 million, compared with $6 million in 1993.
The results in 1993 included an after-tax charge of $16 million related to
asset writedowns.  Excluding this non-recurring charge, earnings increased
23%.  Sales grew 4% reflecting 11% higher volume and 3% weaker European
currencies.

Pacific region earnings of $11 million were up 38% compared to the
second quarter of 1993.  Sales and volume were up 7% on the strength of the
PRM and Plastics business groups.  Higher earnings also reflected the
effect of a 9% stronger Yen.

Latin America posted earnings of $5 million, flat compared to the
prior-year period.  Sales were unchanged from the second quarter of 1993.
Improved results in Colombia and Mexico were offset by reduced sales in
Brazil due to uncertainty regarding the new economic reforms.

Net sales were $944 million, up 7% from last year's results on a 9% volume
increase.  The second quarter gross profit margin increased to 37% from 35% in
1993 due to higher volumes and smooth plant operation.

Selling, administrative and research expenses declined 2%, reflecting
productivity improvements implemented to control costs.  Interest expense
increased $3 million due to lower capitalization of interest expense as
part of construction in progress.  Affiliate earnings were $1 million, a
significant improvement from the $2 million loss reported last year,
primarily due to reduced losses from the AtoHaas affiliates.  Other
expense, net, was down $4 million from 1993.  The prior-year period
included costs for cancelling construction of a plastics facility in
England, net of a gain on the sale of Supelco.

SIX MONTHS 1994 VERSUS
SIX MONTHS 1993

Earnings for the first six months were $162 million, up 34% from last year's
earnings of $121 million (before cumulative effect of an accounting change for
postemployment benefits).  Earnings per common share were $2.33, up 35%
compared with the 1993 period.  The 1993 period included a net charge of $5
million for unusual items.  Absent these unusual items, earnings increased
29%.  Net sales of $1,800 million were 5% higher than 1993.  Volume grew 8%
and raw material costs were 2% lower compared to the prior year.  Earnings
also benefited from smooth plant operations and improved affiliate results.

Polymers, Resins and Monomers earnings of $92 million were up 24% from 1993.
Sales increased 7% and volume increased 10%, with significant gains in the
industrial coatings, architectural coatings, adhesives, and construction
products businesses.  Raw material costs continued to be lower than the prior
year and plants ran smoothly.

                                                                             3

<PAGE>

Plastics recorded earnings of $30 million compared to $15 million in 1993,
excluding a 1993 after-tax charge of $16 million related to asset writedowns.
Volume increased 11% and sales were up 8%, reflecting lower selling prices
caused by competitive pricing to maintain market share.  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 reported significantly reduced losses
compared to 1993.

Performance Chemicals reported earnings of $26 million, $9 million higher than
last year's earnings, excluding the 1993 gain on the sale of Supelco.  Volume
increased 4% and sales rose 6%, excluding Supelco.  Earnings improved due to
volume increases, a more favorable product mix and the strengthening of the
Yen.  The Ion Exchange Resins business continued to suffer from depressed
pricing due to intense competition and higher operating costs due to low
manufacturing volumes.

Agricultural Chemicals earnings were $37 million, down 8% versus 1993.  Sales
increased 2% though volume was flat, due to a more favorable product mix.
Intense competition, higher raw material costs and increased research expense
resulted in lower earnings.

North American region earnings were $105 million, 25% higher than the
prior-year period, excluding the 1993 after-tax gain of $11 million from the
sale of Supelco.  Sales grew 7% on 10% higher volume, excluding Supelco.  All
businesses contributed to the volume increase.  Smooth plant operations and
lower raw material costs also contributed to the earnings increase.

European earnings of $49 million were 23% higher compared to 1993 results,
excluding the 1993 after-tax charge of $16 million for asset writedowns.
Sales increased 3%, reflecting an 11% volume increase and weaker European
currencies.

Pacific region earnings were $22 million, $9 million higher than 1993.  Sales
increased 9% on 7% higher volume, excluding Supelco.  Strong volume increases
were recorded by the Polymers and Resins and Plastics Additives businesses.
An 11% stronger Yen was a major factor in the earnings performance.

Latin America posted earnings of $9 million, flat compared to 1993.  Sales
were unchanged from the prior year and volume increased 1%.  Uncertainty in
Brazil regarding economic reforms and cost pressures on growers in Costa Rica
offset the benefit of volume increases in Colombia and Mexico.

Net sales of $1,800 million were 5% higher compared to last year's results on
a 9% volume increase, excluding Supelco.  The gross profit margin for the
first six months was 37% compared to 36% in the prior period.  Volume
increases and smooth plant operations were the main contributors to the margin
improvement.

reflecting the benefit of productivity improvements.  Interest expense of $26
million was $3 million higher than last year due to lower capitalization of
interest as part of construction in progress.  Affiliate earnings of $1
million reflect a substantial improvement from the losses reported in 1993,
primarily due to improved results from the AtoHaas affiliates.  Other expense,
net, was flat compared to the prior-year period.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES
AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

On June 29, 1994 the company completed the previously announced acquisition of
Monsanto's worldwide pyridine family of chemistry and a new fungicide.  The
purchase price will be paid in equal installments over a four-year period.
The assets acquired included a manufacturing facility, inventory and patents.

At the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $19 million, down
$16 million from the 1993 year-end balance.  Customer receivables were up $228
million during the first six months, reflecting higher sales and a normal
seasonal pattern.  Inventories increased $36 million, mainly due to
inventories acquired from Monsanto as described above.  The debt-to-equity
ratio, calculated without the reduction to stockholders' equity for the ESOP
transaction, was 47% at the end of June, compared with 48% at year-end 1993.

Fixed asset additions during the first half of 1994 totaled $122 million,
including the manufacturing facility acquired from Monsanto.  Spending for the
full year is estimated to be less than $350 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 July 25, 1994, the board of directors approved a 6% increase in the
quarterly dividend on common shares from 35 cents to 37 cents per share.  The
board also declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.6875 per preferred
share.  Both dividends are payable September 1, 1994, to stockholders of
record on August 5, 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 named party in various government enforcement and private
    actions associated with former waste disposal sites.  The amounts charged
    to earnings before tax for environmental remediation were $8 million and
    $7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1994, and 1993, respectively.
    At June 30, 1994, the reserves for remediation were $189 million and
    probable insurance recoveries were $72 million.

(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:
