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


1.  Statement of Information Furnished
    ----------------------------------

    The accompanying financial statements have been prepared by the Company
    pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange
    Commission.  In the opinion of management these consolidated financial
    statements give effect to all adjustments (consisting of only normal
    recurring adjustments) necessary to present fairly the financial position of
    Scott Paper Company and its subsidiaries as of July 1, 1995, December 31,
    1994 and June 25, 1994, and the earnings and cash flows for the six month
    periods ended July 1, 1995 and June 25, 1994.

    The Company presumes that users of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have
    read or have access to the audited financial statements contained in the
    Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1994.
    Accordingly, footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate the
    disclosures contained therein have been omitted.

2.  Supplemental Cash Flow Information
    ----------------------------------

    Cash payments for interest, net of amounts capitalized, were $59.5 million
    and $81.1 million during the first six months of 1995 and 1994,
    respectively.  Cash payments for income taxes were $265.8 million (related
    primarily to 1994 asset sales) and $25.8 million during the first six months
    of 1995 and 1994, respectively.

3.  Restructuring and Productivity Improvement
    ------------------------------------------

    At year end 1994, the Company had accruals for restructuring programs of
    $108.6 million recorded in its balance sheet including the 1993 charges for
    restructuring and productivity improvement programs.  During the first six
    months of 1995, $52.7 million was charged to these reserves primarily for
    continued severance payments associated with the 1994 work force reductions.

4.  Stock Split
    -----------

    On April 18, 1995, the Board of Directors authorized a two-for-one stock
    split of common shares.  The additional common shares were issued on May 12,
    1995 to shareholders of record on April 28, 1995.  Accordingly, earnings per
    share, cash dividends per share, and weighted average common shares
    outstanding for all periods presented have been restated to reflect the
    stock split.

5.  Subsequent Event
    ----------------

    On July 17, 1995, the Company and Kimberly-Clark Corporation announced the
    signing of a definitive merger agreement that will create a global consumer
    products company operating under the Kimberly-Clark name. Under the
    agreement, the Company will become a wholly-owned subsidiary of Kimberly-
    Clark and Scott shareholders will receive .765 of a share of Kimberly-Clark
    common stock for each Scott common share. The ratio is subject to an upward
    adjustment to .780 if the record date for Kimberly-Clark's previously
    announced spin-off of its Specialty Products business precedes the merger.

    The merger agreement has been unanimously approved by the boards of
    directors of both companies.  The merger is expected to be completed in late
    1995 and is subject to certain conditions, including regulatory clearances
    and approval by the shareholders of both companies.

                                       7
<PAGE>
 
    The Company will be required to pay Kimberly-Clark a fee of $100 million if
    the merger agreement is terminated as a result of:

    (a) the determination by the Company's Board of the existence of a
        financially superior takeover proposal (as defined in the merger
        agreement) from a third party for the Company, if the Company terminates
        the merger agreement and enters into a definitive agreement with such
        third party; or

    (b) the Company's Board not recommending the merger to its shareholders, or
        modifying or rescinding its prior recommendation of the merger to its
        shareholders after a competing takeover proposal is made for the
        Company; or

    (c) the failure of the Company's shareholders to approve and adopt the
        merger agreement following a competing takeover proposal for the Company
        or certain other events, if within seven months after the shareholders
        meeting the Company enters into, and thereafter consummates, an
        agreement with regard to such takeover proposal (as defined in the
        merger agreement), or within such seven month period a third party
        commences and thereafter consummates a tender offer for more than 20% of
        the Company's outstanding common shares.

    The company will also be required to pay Kimberly-Clark a fee of $50 million
    if the merger agreement is terminated by Kimberly-Clark following a breach
    by the Company of its non-solicitation covenant.

MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Results of Operations -
- ------------------------

Second Quarter 1995 Compared with Second Quarter 1994
- -----------------------------------------------------

The Company's second quarter 1995 net income increased 262% to $145.5 million
from $40.2 million for the same period in 1994.  Reported earnings for the
second quarter of 1994 included the results of the Company's former printing and
publishing subsidiary, S.D. Warren, which was sold in December 1994 and is
reflected as a discontinued operation.  Earnings per share for the second
quarter of 1995 increased 256% to $.96 from $.27 in 1994.  Dollar sales in the
second quarter of 1995 increased 16% to $1.06 billion.

Excluding net special items of $.16 per share, primarily from asset sales,
second quarter earnings for 1995 of $.80 per share were 135% higher than the
$.34 earned from continuing operations in the second quarter of 1994.

The quarter represented the Company's third consecutive all-time record
quarterly earnings and reflected significant increases in sales, income from
operations and margins from the company's core tissue business.

Income from operations for the consolidated global tissue business increased 76%
compared to the same period last year.  All regions reported increased sales and
significantly higher earnings.  The overall operating margin for the tissue
business increased to a new record level of 18.2%, primarily due to higher
selling prices, mix improvements and reduced manufacturing costs resulting from
the 1994 restructuring as well as aggressive execution of strategic cost
reductions.  These positive factors more than offset higher pulp prices and
other inflationary pressures.  Additional price increases have been announced in
selected markets, which, if successful, would help offset continuing increases
in pulp prices.

Income from operations for the U.S. tissue business increased 67% from the same
quarter in 1994, while sales revenue increased 13% on 3% higher unit volume.
Earnings of the European tissue business increased by almost 125% from 1994.
Sales revenue increased 21% compared with 1994, primarily due to higher selling
prices.

During the quarter, volumes in the U.S. and Europe were somewhat constrained due
to the Company's price increases noted above as well as the successful
implementation of plans in these regions to rationalize nonstrategic brands and
new product initiatives, which, in certain cases, required liquidation by
customers of inventories of the products replaced. In future periods, volume
will be dependent, in part, on the continued favorable market reaction to the
Company's numerous product initiatives, which are being aggressively supported
through media campaigns and other marketing programs.

In the combined Pacific and Latin American area, income from operations
increased 34% over the 1994 level.  Sales revenue increased by approximately
17%, with volume increasing 8% above the prior year level.

Scott's share of earnings from its equity affiliates was $13.8 million compared
to $6.5 million in 1994. The Company's Mexican affiliate reported substantially
higher earnings as price increases and cost reductions more than offset the
impacts of a worsening economy. The 1995 results include a charge of $2.5
million for restructuring of Scott Paper Limited, the Company's Canadian
affiliate.

In addition to the Canadian restructuring, the special items recorded in the
second quarter of 1995 include gains on assets sales, offset by a provision for
the cost of relocating the worldwide headquarters to Boca Raton, Florida. A net
gain of $24.2 million, or $.16 per share, resulted from these actions.

Results of Operations
- ---------------------

Six Months 1995 Compared With Six Months 1994
- ---------------------------------------------

For the first six months of 1995, net income increased 271% to $242.4 million
from $65.4 million of reported earnings for the same period in 1994.  Earnings
per share for the first six months of 1995 increased 264% to $1.60 compared to
$.44 for the prior year period.  Dollar sales for the first six months of 1995
increased 18.2% to $2.06 billion.

Excluding net special items of $.16 per share, primarily from asset sales,
earnings for the first six months of 1995 of $1.44 were 172% higher than the
$.53 earned from continuing operations for the first six months of 1994.

Income from operations for the consolidated global tissue business was up 96.2%
in the first six months of 1995.  All regions reported higher earnings, with
higher selling prices and reduced manufacturing costs resulting from the 1994
restructuring more than offsetting higher pulp prices and other inflationary
pressures.

Income from operations for the U.S. tissue business increased 92% in the first
six months of 1995 versus the same period in 1994, due to higher selling prices
and increased volumes as well as reduced manufacturing costs.  Sales revenue was
up 15% with volume increasing 5%.

Outside the U.S., income from operations for the European tissue business
increased 135%.  Sales revenue increased more than 20%, primarily due to higher
selling prices.  In the combined Pacific and Latin America area, income from
operations increased approximately 44%.  Sales revenue increased approximately
19%, with volumes increasing approximately 11%.

Scott's share of earnings from its equity affiliates also increased in the first
six months of 1995 compared to the prior year, primarily due to higher selling
prices and cost reductions.  Results for 1995 included charges for the
restructuring of the Company's Canadian affiliate and a charge related to the
impact of the devaluation of the Mexican peso.

Financial Condition
- -------------------

Liquidity and Capital Resources
- -------------------------------

Cash used for operations during the first six months of 1995 was $230.4 million
compared with cash provided by operations of $113.0 million in the first six
months of 1994.  The cash used by operations was due to higher net income being
more than offset by increased postretirement benefits funding and higher working
capital.  The increase in working capital was due to a reduction in accrued
taxes on income due to tax payments of approximately $200 million made related
to the 1994 sales of S.D. Warren and other non-core assets as well as higher
receivables balances due to increased sales and decreases in payables to
suppliers and others.  Accruals for restructuring programs also decreased
primarily due to the continuation of severance payments related to the work
force reductions made as part of the 1994 restructuring program.

Capital expenditures were $140.3 million during the first six months of 1995
compared with $185.9 million during the same period in 1994.  During 1995 and
1996, capital spending is projected at $550-650 million on a variety of projects
including continued spending on the tissue mill in Owensboro, Kentucky, the new
converting facility in Arizona, and other projects designed to sustain existing
operations and reduce costs.  The Company expects to finance this spending
primarily from internally generated funds.

                                       10

During the second quarter of 1995, the Company completed the sale of its 20
percent interest in a pulp mill and timberland acreage in Chile, its 50 percent
interest in timberland and other property in southeastern Georgia, and certain
mineral interests.  During the first quarter of 1995, the Company also completed
the sale of its foodservice businesses in the U.S. and U.K. and its remaining 1%
interest in Scott Health Care.

As a result of the definitive merger agreement between Scott and Kimberly-Clark
announced on July 17, 1995, the Company has suspended its efforts to sell its
global pulp operations and timberlands. In addition, the letter of intent signed
by the Company for the sale of the Chester, Pa. cogeneration facility has
expired without an agreement to sell, and the Company has decided to terminate
further discussions on the sale.

Total debt at July 1, 1995 was $1,258.5 million compared with $2,621.3 million
at June 25, 1994 and $1,857.9 million at December 31, 1994.  During the first
six months of 1995, the Company's financing activities included the retirement
of $746.2 million in debt, primarily related to the Company's debt retirement
program. In addition, as part of the Company's share repurchase plan, which as
previously announced has been discontinued, approximately 3 million shares were
repurchased at a cost of $127.5 million.

To maintain financing flexibility, the Company maintains two long-term revolving
credit agreements totaling $775 million, all unused at July 1, 1995.

The Company's debt to equity ratios at July 1, 1995, December 31, 1994 and June
25, 1994 are set forth below:

July 1, 1995 Compared with June 25, 1994
- ----------------------------------------

Total assets of $4,841.8 million at July 1, 1995 decreased $1,722.5 million or
26% compared with total assets of $6,564.3 million at June 25, 1994.  The
decrease was primarily due to the 1994 sales of S.D. Warren and other non-core
businesses.

Total liabilities of $2,910.4 million at July 1, 1995 decreased $2,011.6 million
or 41% compared with total liabilities of $4,922.0 million at June 25, 1994.
The decrease was primarily due to the 1994 sales of S.D. Warren and other non-
core assets, and the use of asset sale proceeds to reduce the Company's debt.

Common shareholders' equity at July 1, 1995 of $1,924.3 million increased $289.1
million compared with the June 25, 1994 balance of $1,635.2 million due
primarily to net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and the
issuance of shares related to the exercise of stock options, which were
partially offset by the share repurchase program and dividends paid.

July 1, 1995 Compared with December 31, 1994
- --------------------------------------------

Total assets at July 1, 1995 of $4,841.8 million decreased $784.3 million or 14%
compared with total assets of $5,626.1 million at December 31, 1994. This was
primarily due to the use of  cash and cash equivalents to retire debt and income
tax payments made related to the 1994 sale of S.D. Warren and other non-core
assets, more than offsetting increases in accounts receivable due to higher
sales and increases in net plant assets due to capital spending.

Total liabilities of $2,910.4 million at July 1, 1995 decreased $963.3 million
or 24.9% compared with total liabilities of $3,873.7 million at December 31,
1994.  The decrease was primarily due to significantly lower debt levels and
reductions in balances of accrued taxes on income due to tax payments.

Common shareholders' equity at July 1, 1995 of $1,924.3 million was $179.0
million higher than the balance at December 31, 1994 of $1,745.3 million due
primarily to net income, foreign currency translation adjustments and the
issuance of shares related to the exercise of stock options, which were
partially offset by the Company's previously announced share repurchase program
and dividends.

Subsequent Event
- ----------------

On July 17, 1995, the Company and Kimberly-Clark Corporation announced the
signing of a definitive merger agreement.  Under the agreement, Scott
shareholders will receive .765 of a share of Kimberly-Clark common stock for
each Scott common share.  The ratio is subject to an upward adjustment of .015
shares, if the record date for Kimberly-Clark's previously announced spin-off of
its Specialty Products business precedes the merger.  See further discussion of
the merger agreement at Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

                          PART II - OTHER INFORMATION



Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
         -----------------

         In Item 3 of the Company's Form 10-K for 1994, it was stated that the
federal actions relating to breast implants had been consolidated in the
Northern District of Alabama for pretrial purposes. As reported in Item 1 of the
Company's Form 10-Q for the first quarter of 1995, on April 25, 1995, the Court
granted the Company's motion for summary judgment and dismissed with prejudice
all claims pending against the Company and the purchaser of the Company's former
Foam Division. The plaintiffs have appealed this decision. The Company continues
to believe its defenses to these claims are meritorious and that the final
results of these claims, while they cannot be predicted with certainty, will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial condition.
