                         INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
                         ----------------------------

Plan Administrator of
Rubbermaid Profit Sharing Plan:

We have audited the financial statements and supplemental schedules of
Rubbermaid Profit Sharing 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 schedules 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 schedules of assets
held for investment purposes and reportable transactions are presented for the
purpose of additional analysis and are not a required part of the basic
financial statements, but are 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 schedules
have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in the audit of the
basic financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1993, and, in our
opinion, are fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the basic
financial statements taken as a whole.

                          December 31, 1993 and 1992

(1)    Description of the Plan
       -----------------------

       The following brief description of the Rubbermaid Profit Sharing 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
       substantially all full time employees of the Company at the following
       locations ("the participating employers"):

            Rubbermaid Specialty Products, Inc.:
                      Statesville
                      Winfield
            Rubbermaid Inc. - Cortland
            Rubbermaid Commercial Products, Inc.:
                      Centerville
                      Cleveland
            Home Products Division of Rubbermaid Incorporated:
            Goodyear
            Rubbermaid Office Products, Inc.
                      Maryville
            MicroComputer Accessories
            The Little Tikes Company:
                      Ohio
                      Missouri
                      California

       Participation in the Plan begins on the January 1 coincident with or
       next following an employee's date of hire.  Part-time employees 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 5 percent of the aggregate
       eligible compensation of the participants, plus 5 percent of the amount
       by which each participants eligible compensation exceeds the social
       security wage base in effect for the Plan year.  Voluntary contributions
       by participants to the Plan (for certain participating employers) were
       suspended effective January 1, 1987.  Forfeitures, representing the
       nonvested portion of terminated participants' accounts reduce employers'
       contributions after a five-year break in service has occurred.

                                                                     (Continued)

                        Notes to Financial Statements


  (c)  Participant Accounts
       --------------------

       Each participant's account is credited with the participant's
       contribution, if any, (for amounts contributed prior to January 1, 1987)
       and an allocation of (a) the Company's contribution, and (b)
       Plan earnings.  Allocations are based upon participant earnings, 
       service, and/or account balances, as defined.  The benefit to which a 
       participant is entitled is the vested benefit that can be provided from
       the participant's account.

  (d)  Vesting
       -------

       Participants are immediately vested in their 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 contribute (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).

(2)    Accounting Policy
       -----------------

       The financial statements of the Plan are prepared on an accrual basis.



                                                                     (Continued)

                        Notes to Financial Statements

(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 changes therein of the Plan in
       the master trust fund 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:

(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 trust
       agreement.

(5)    Federal Income Tax
       ------------------

       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 investments;
       S&P 500 Index Equity Fund, Rubbermaid Common Stock Fund, Fixed Income
<PAGE>   12
Fund and the Stable Value Fund. Rubbermaid associates covered under the
Collective Bargaining Agreement are not subject to the plan amendment.
