INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
----------------------------
Plan Administrator of
Rubbermaid Commercial Products Inc.
Associates' Profit Sharing Retirement Plan:
We have audited the financial statements and supplemental schedule of
Rubbermaid Commercial Products Inc. Associates' Profit Sharing Retirement Plan
(Plan) as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and for the years then ended, as
listed in the accompanying table of contents. These financial statements and
supplemental schedule are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards 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. An audit
also includes 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 plan benefits of the Plan
as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, and the changes in net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audit of the Plan's financial statements as of and for the year ended
December 31, 1993, was made for the purpose of forming an opinion on the
financial statements taken as a whole. The supplemental schedule of assets held
for investment purposes is presented for the purpose of additional analysis and
is not a required part of the basic financial statements, but is supplementary
information required by the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974. The supplemental schedule has been subject to the auditing procedures
applied in the audit of the basic financial statements for the year ended
December 31, 1993, and, in our opinion, is fairly stated in all material
respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a whole.

(1) Descriptions of the Plan
------------------------
The following brief description of the Rubbermaid Commercial Products
Inc. Associates' Profit Sharing Retirement Plan (the "Plan") provides
only general information. Participants should refer to the Plan
agreement for a more complete description of the Plan's provisions.
(a) General
-------
The Plan is a defined contribution retirement plan covering all full
time associates of the Company at its Winchester, Virginia and Cleburne,
Texas facilities. Participation in the Plan begins on the January 1
coincident with or next following an associate's date of hire. Part-
time associates become eligible to participate if certain service
requirements are met. The Plan is subject to the provisions of the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (ERISA).
(b) Contributions
-------------
Annually, the Company contributes to the Plan the lesser of 25 percent
of the Company's net profit as defined in the Plan document, or 15
percent of the aggregate eligible compensation of the participants.
Participants receive 25 percent of their share of the Company's
contribution in cash unless an election is made to deposit such amounts
into their Plan account. Voluntary contributions by participants to the
Plan were suspended effective January 1, 1987. Pursuant to an amendment
adopted during 1991, the Company's contribution for highly-compensated
participants (as defined in the Plan document) is calculated as the
lesser of the contribution as described above or an amount equal to 5%
of compensation paid during the year plus 5% of the participant's
compensation exceeding the current year Social Security Wage Base.
(c) Participant Accounts
--------------------
Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
contribution (for amounts contributed prior to January 1, 1987) and an
allocation of (a) the Company's contribution, (b) Plan earnings, and (c)
forfeitures of terminated participants' nonvested accounts. Allocations
are based upon participant earnings, service, and/or account balances,
as defined. Prior to the allocation of the salaried participants' share
of the contribution, premiums for the Company's Group Salary Continuance
Insurance Program are deducted. The benefit to which a participant is
entitled is the vested benefit in the participant's account.

Notes to Financial Statements
(d) Vesting
-------
Participants are immediately vested in their accounts which are
attributable to employee voluntary contributions plus actual earnings
thereon. Vesting in the remainder of their accounts is based upon years
of service. A participant becomes fully vested after completing seven
years of credited service.
(e) Investments
-----------
Participants may elect to invest the employer contribution allocated to
their account in the Plan, or transfer existing account balances, (in
25% increments) in one or more of the three investment funds held by the
Plan. Currently, the investment funds are: (a) the Equity Fund,
comprised of common stocks or securities convertible into common stocks;
(b) the Fixed Income Fund, comprised of bonds, obligations, debentures
and other securities the income or return from which is fixed; and (c)
the Guaranteed Interest Fund (formerly the Insured Principal and Income
Fund), comprised of guaranteed principal and interest contracts with
major financial institutions.
(f) Payment of Benefits
-------------------
Upon normal retirement at age 65 or termination of service other than
normal retirement, a participant may elect to receive either a lump-sum
cash payment equal to the value of his or her account, or periodic
payments in such amounts as elected by the participant (subject to rules
of the Plan).
(g) Participant Loans
-----------------
Loans of up to 25% of a participant's credited portion of Company
contributions plus earnings thereon may be obtained for qualified
participants. The maximum loan permissible is $50,000, and all loans
must be approved by the Plan's loan committee. For record keeping
purposes, the outstanding principal balance of participant loans are
maintained in a separate investment fund.
(2) Accounting Policy
-----------------
The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on the accrual basis.

(3) Investments
-----------
For investment purposes only, the investments held in the separate
funds of the Plan are commingled with those of certain other Company-
sponsored retirement plans having similar investment programs.
Collectively, such funds comprise the Profit Sharing Retirement Trust
for Rubbermaid Incorporated and Related Companies, a bank-administered
master trust fund. The investments and net investment income therein of
the Plan in the master trust have been certified to the Company by the
Trustee, National City Bank, as having been determined through the use
of fair values for all assets of the master trust fund. A summary of
the master trust assets as of December 31, 1993 and 1992, is as follows:

</TABLE>
(4) Plan Termination
----------------
The Company expects to continue the Plan indefinitely. However, upon
any future termination of the Plan, the accounts of all participants
affected thereby shall become fully vested and the Trustee shall
distribute the assets in accordance with the terms of the Plan and the
trust agreement.
(5) Federal Income Taxes
--------------------
The Plan obtained its latest determination letter in September 1986, in
which the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then
designed, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the
Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving the
determination letter. However, the plan administrator and the Plan's tax
counsel believe that the plan is currently designed and being operated in
compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue
Code. Therefore, no provision for income taxes has been included in the
Plan's financial statements.
(6) Subsequent Events
-----------------
For plan years beginning on or after January 1, 1995, the plan was
amended to provide a 401K feature, allowing pretax deferrals of base
salary or wages and amounts paid as bonus compensation. The pretax
deferrals of compensation can be invested in the following
<PAGE> 11
investments; S&P 500 Index Equity Fund, Rubbermaid Common Stock Fund, Fixed
Income Fund and the Stable Value Fund. Rubbermaid associates covered under
the Collective Bargaining Agreement are not subject to the plan amendment.
