                            CHAIRMAN'S LETTER

Sales topped $1 billion for the first time in the second quarter, up 10
percent from a year ago.  Volume shipments were down 3 percent, with
most of the decreases occurring in North American businesses.  Earnings
were $87 million, a decline of 8 percent from the second quarter of 1994.

A slowdown in the U.S. economy, higher manufacturing costs and costs
associated with monomer production problems at our plant in Houston,
Texas, contributed to lower earnings for the quarter.  Business in
Europe and the Pacific continued to be strong, with sales up 23 percent
combined for those regions.

The most telling statistic for the first six months of the year is that
our gross profit margin has declined, from 37 percent in 1994 to 34
percent for the same period this year.  Most of the decline is the
result of higher raw material prices -- up 28 percent over last year.
Average selling prices are up just 3 percent during that same period.
We will be working throughout the rest of 1995 to correct this
imbalance.

We are still ahead of where we were this time last year.  Sales for the
first six months were up 13 percent; earnings for the first half of the
year were up 2 percent, and unit volume essentially was flat.  Our
continued strong performance in Europe and the Pacific, the improving
product mix of our overall portfolio and ongoing productivity gains all
are indications that we are following the right strategies.  Given these
factors, I continue to believe that Rohm and Haas will exceed last
year's earnings performance.

On July 24th, the Board of Directors approved an 11 percent increase in
the dividend paid on common stock, from 37 to 41 cents per share.

                  MANAGEMENT DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SECOND QUARTER 1995 VERSUS
SECOND QUARTER 1994

Second quarter 1995 earnings were $87 million and earnings per common
share were $1.26, down 8% from last year's earnings of $95 million and
$1.37 per common share.  Net sales of $1,042 million were an all-time
quarterly high, up 10% from last year's results.  Though volume
decreased 1%, excluding the sale of the styrene butadiene latex
business, sales were higher due to a higher-priced product mix, 3%
higher selling prices and a boost from 13% stronger European currencies
and a 22% stronger Japanese yen.  Higher raw material prices, which
increased 27% over the prior-year period, a slowdown in the U.S.
economy, higher manufacturing costs and costs associated with monomer
production problems at the Houston plant resulted in lower earnings.

Polymers, Resins and Monomers earnings were $38 million, down 32% from
the prior-year period.  Excluding the effect of the sale of the styrene
butadiene latex business, sales increased 10%, due to a higher-priced
product mix, higher selling prices and stronger currencies in Europe and
Japan.  However, volume was down 1% due to the slowdown in the U.S.
economy, particularly in the construction and automotive markets.  This
resulted in lower shipments during the quarter for architectural
coatings, construction products and specialty industrial polymers.
Demand remained strong in the European and Asian markets.  Higher raw
material prices, costs associated with monomer production problems and
production variances hurt earnings.

Plastics reported earnings of $20 million, up 33% from 1994.  Sales were
up 15% on flat volume, reflecting higher selling prices and stronger
European currencies.  The large increase in raw material prices
negatively impacted earnings.  Demand for Plastics Additives products
weakened in North America due to the slowdown in the construction
market, but continued to be strong in Europe.  AtoHaas North America
reported increased shipments of molding resins to Europe and Asia.
AtoHaas Europe reported strong profits compared to breakeven results in
the prior-year period.

Performance Chemicals recorded earnings of $18 million, up 20% compared
to last year's second quarter earnings.  Sales increased 16% due to 4%
higher volume and a higher-priced product mix.  Shipley, the company's
electronic chemicals business, reported double-digit volume growth in
all regions and strong increases in sales and earnings.  Ion Exchange
Resins had volume gains in all regions, but depressed selling prices,
higher raw material prices and production variances resulted in a loss
for the quarter.

Agricultural Chemicals earnings of $18 million were down slightly from
the second quarter of 1994.  Softness in demand and increased
competitive activity led to reduced

2

<PAGE>

volume for Dithane fungicide.  However, sales increased 7% reflecting
increased sales of newer, higher-priced insecticides and herbicides.

The second quarter gross profit margin decreased to 33% from 37% in
1994.  Raw material prices were up 27% over last year's second quarter,
excluding the effect of currencies.  The slowdown in the U.S. economy,
production variances and costs associated with monomer production
problems at the company's plant in Houston, Texas also hurt margins.

Selling, administrative and research expenses increased 5%, largely due
to stronger currencies in Europe and Japan.  Interest expense decreased
$3 million due to higher capitalization of interest expense as part of
construction in progress.  Affiliate earnings of $4 million were
significantly higher than the prior-year period.  The AtoHaas affiliates
reported strong earnings compared to breakeven results in 1994.  Other
income, net, was $3 million compared to other expense of $1 million in
the second quarter of 1994 due to a gain on the sale of technology.

SIX MONTHS 1995 VERSUS
SIX MONTHS 1994

Earnings for the first six months were $166 million, up 2% from last
year's earnings of $162 million.  Earnings per common share were $2.39,
up 3% compared with the 1994 period.  The 1995 results were reduced by a
$17 million after-tax charge for additional potential liability related
to the cleanup of the Whitmoyer waste site.  Absent this charge,
earnings would have increased 13%.  Net sales of $2,027 million were 13%
higher than 1994 due to 3% higher volume, excluding the sale of the
styrene butadiene latex business, 3% higher selling prices, a
higher-priced product mix, 11% stronger European currencies and a 16%
stronger Japanese yen.  Earnings were hurt by 28% higher raw material
prices.

Polymers, Resins and Monomers earnings of $86 million were down 7% from
1994.  Sales increased 13% and volume increased 3%, excluding the effect
of the sale of the styrene butadiene latex business.  Most business
units reported good volume increases in Europe and Asia.  Volume in
North America was hurt by the slowdown in the construction and
automotive markets.  Higher raw material prices and costs associated
with monomer production problems more than offset the benefits of higher
selling prices, a higher-priced product mix and stronger foreign
currencies.

Plastics recorded earnings of $38 million, up 27% from $30 million in
1994.  Volume increased 3% and sales were up 16%, reflecting higher
selling prices and stronger European currencies.  Earnings were hampered
by the large increase in raw material prices.  Plastics Additives
reported lower

                                                                       3

<PAGE>

volume in North America caused by a production outage during the first
quarter and the slowdown in the construction market during the second
quarter.  AtoHaas North America reported increased volume for molding
resins in the European and Pacific regions.  AtoHaas Europe reported
strong earnings for the six-month period compared to a small loss in 1994.

Performance Chemicals reported earnings of $35 million, $9 million
higher than last year's earnings.  The 16% increase in sales reflects 5%
higher volume, a higher-priced product mix and stronger currencies in
Europe and Japan.  Petroleum Chemicals had lower volume in North America
due to the loss of a major customer in 1994.  Shipley recorded strong
increases in volume, sales and earnings.  Biocides had good volume
growth in North America and Europe.  The Ion Exchange Resins business
reported significantly lower losses due to increased volume and the
strong Japanese yen.  Selling prices still remained depressed and higher
raw material prices hurt results for this business unit.

Agricultural Chemicals earnings were $39 million, up 5% versus 1994.
Sales were up 9%, though volume decreased 6% due to increased sales of
newer, higher-priced insecticides and herbicides.  The volume decline is
due to lower shipments of Dithane fungicide caused by softness in demand
and increased competition.  The benefits of a more profitable product
mix and stronger currencies in Europe and Japan were somewhat offset by
higher raw material prices and increased operating costs.

Corporate expenses totaled $32 million, compared to $23 million in 1994.
The 1995 period includes a charge of $17 million for additional
potential liability related to the cleanup of the Whitmoyer waste site.
Interest expense was lower in 1995 due to higher capitalization of
interest as part of construction in progress.

The gross profit margin for the first six months was 34% compared to 37%
in the prior period.  Margins declined due to 28% higher raw material
prices, higher production costs and costs associated with monomer
production problems.

Selling, administrative and research expenses were down 1% compared to
1994, excluding the effect of stronger currencies.  The decrease
reflects the benefit of continuing productivity improvements.  Interest
expense of $20 million was $6 million lower than last year, due to
higher capitalization of interest as part of construction in progress.
Affiliate earnings of $5 million reflect a substantial improvement from
earnings of $1 million reported last year, primarily due to earnings
from the AtoHaas affiliates in 1995 compared to a small loss in 1994.
Other expense, net, was $36 million, up from $7 million last year.  The
current year includes a $26 million charge for additional potential
liability related to the Whitmoyer waste site.

LIQUIDITY, CAPITAL RESOURCES
AND OTHER FINANCIAL DATA

At the end of the quarter, cash and cash equivalents totaled $38
million, down $89 million from the 1994 year-end balance.  Accounts
receivable were up $206 million during the first six months, reflecting
higher sales and a normal seasonal pattern.  The debt-to-equity ratio,
calculated without the reduction to stockholders' equity for the ESOP
transaction, was 42% at the end of June, compared with 44% at year-end 1994.

Fixed asset additions during the first half of 1995 totaled $165
million.  Increased spending reflects the acceleration of the new
acrylic acid expansion at Houston, Texas, as well as spending for a new
Biocides production facility at Bayport, Texas and the Lone Star
emulsion facility at Houston, Texas.  Spending for the full year is
estimated to be in the range of $400 million.

On July 20, 1995, a lawsuit was filed against the company and other
defendants, seeking class action certification for property damage,
personal injury and medical monitoring allegedly related to
contamination of the Lipari landfill, nearby streams and Lake Alcyon in
Pitman, New Jersey.  The company believes it has substantial defenses to
this lawsuit; it is too early to determine what financial impact, if
any, it may have.

On July 24, 1995, the board of directors approved an 11% increase in the
quarterly dividend on common shares from 37 cents to 41 cents per share.
The board also declared a regular quarterly dividend of $.6875 per
preferred share.  Both dividends are payable September 1, 1995, to
stockholders of record on August 4, 1995.

On July 31, 1995, the company completed the sale of its Plaskon
Electronic Materials subsidiary to Amoco Corporation.  Plaskon makes
molding compounds used to encapsulate semiconductors.  The sale did not
have a material effect on the company's results.

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, 1994.

(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 potential corrective actions at some of its
    manufacturing facilities.  The amounts charged to earnings before
    tax for environmental remediation were $30 million and $8 million
    for the six months ended June 30, 1995 and 1994, respectively.  The
    charge in the 1995 period includes additional accruals in the first
    quarter related to the Whitmoyer waste site.  At June 30, 1995, the
    reserves for remediation were $184 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 $80 million.  The company has also
    identified other sites where future environmental remediation
    expenditures may be required, but these expenditures are not
    reasonably estimable at this time.  The company believes that these
    matters, when ultimately resolved, which may be over the next
    decade, 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 year.

(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:
