Board of Directors
OM Group, Inc.


We have audited the accompanying balance sheet of SCM Metal Products, Inc. as of
September 28, 1996, and the related statements of income and cash flows for the
year then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of SCM Metal Products, Inc. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.

We conducted our audit 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 audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the financial position of SCM Metal Products, Inc. at
September 28, 1996, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the
year then ended, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles.

A.     SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

BASIS OF PRESENTATION

On January 21, 1997, pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement dated December 20,
1996, OM Group, Inc. (OMG) purchased all of the outstanding stock of SCM Metal
Products, Inc. (SCM or the Company), a subsidiary of U.S. Industries, Inc.
(USI). SCM manufactures, distributes and sells a broad range of specialty
powders and chemicals, principally specialty powders from copper, iron and
stainless steel. SCM's products are used in various markets, primarily within
the automotive, electronics, transportation and catalyst industries.

Headquartered in Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, SCM operates
manufacturing facilities in Research Triangle Park; Johnstown, Pennsylvania; and
Singapore, through a joint venture. The joint venture is accounted for by the
equity method.

USI provides certain services to the Company including employee benefits
management, tax and legal assistance. The cost for such services is included in
selling, general, and administrative expenses.

Historically, SCM's results of domestic operations have been included in the
consolidated U.S. federal income tax return of USI. Income tax expense and other
tax related information in the accompanying financial statements have been
presented as if SCM had not been eligible to be included in the consolidated tax
returns of USI. The calculation of tax provisions and deferred taxes necessarily
required certain assumptions, allocations and estimates which management
believes are reasonable to accurately reflect the tax reporting for SCM as a
stand-alone taxpayer.

CONSOLIDATION

The financial statements include the accounts of SCM after elimination of all
significant intercompany accounts. SCM reports on a 52-53 week year, ending on
the Saturday closest to September 30.

A.       SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES--CONTINUED

INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market and are principally valued
using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment is recorded at historical cost less accumulated
depreciation. Depreciation is provided by the straight-line method over the
useful lives of the various classes of assets. Long-lived assets are assessed
for impairment when operating profits for the related business indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable.

RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Selling, general and administrative expenses include research and development
costs of approximately $2.0 million in fiscal 1996.

GOODWILL

Goodwill represents the excess of the acquisition purchase price over the fair
market value of the net tangible assets acquired. Goodwill is being amortized on
a straight line basis over its useful life of forty years. Goodwill is assessed
for impairment when operating profits for the related business indicate that the
carrying value may not be recoverable.

CASH EQUIVALENTS

For purposes of the statements of cash flows, all highly liquid investments with
a maturity of three months or less when purchased are considered to be cash
equivalents.

USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions in
certain circumstances that affect the amounts reported in the accompanying
financial statements and notes. Actual results could differ from those
estimates.

D.     PENSIONS

SCM has two noncontributory defined benefit pension plans covering substantially
all its U.S. employees. The benefits for these plans are based primarily on
years of credited service and average compensation as defined under the
respective plan provisions. SCM's funding policy is to contribute amounts to the
plans sufficient to meet the minimum funding requirements set forth in the
Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, plus such additional amounts as
SCM may determine to be appropriate from time to time.

SCM also sponsors a defined contribution plan covering all salaried employees.
Contributions relating to the defined contribution plan are made based upon the
plan provisions.

Components of pension expense for the fiscal year ended September 28, 1996
follow:

providing these benefits during the years that employees render employment
services; claims are paid as incurred.

</TABLE>

For measurement purposes, an assumed health care cost trend rate of 10.5% was
used, decreasing by .5% per year to an ultimate rate of 5.5%. An increase of 1%
in the assumed health care cost trend rate would increase the accumulated
benefit obligation as of September 28, 1996 by $567 and the aggregate annual
service and interest cost by $88. The discount rate used in determining the
accumulated benefit obligation as of September 28, 1996 was 7.75%.

F.     INTEREST

SCM receives a charge from USI for the carrying cost of parent company
investment in the form of interest expense. The charge is based on the liability
component of the net investment. SCM's allocated interest expense was $4.1
million in 1996. The effective annual percentage rate for interest expense was
approximately 7.8% in fiscal 1996. For purposes of the accompanying financial
statements, interest expense is assumed to equal interest paid.

G.     PARENT COMPANY INVESTMENT

As SCM is an operating unit and wholly-owned subsidiary of USI, customary equity
and capital accounts are not maintained. Instead, parent company investment is
utilized by SCM and USI to account for all interunit transactions. Activity in
parent company investment for the year ended September 28, 1996 follows:

H.     COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

SCM is a party to various legal proceedings incidental to its business and is
subject to a variety of environmental and pollution control laws and regulations
in the jurisdictions in which it operates. As is the case with other companies
in similar industries, SCM faces exposure from actual or potential claims and
legal proceedings involving environmental matters. Although it is difficult to
quantify the potential impact of compliance with or liability under
environmental protection laws, management believes that the ultimate aggregate
cost to SCM of environmental remediation, as well as other legal proceedings
arising out of the normal course of business, will not result in a material
adverse effect upon its financial condition or results of operations.

I.     INTERIM FINANCIAL INFORMATION (UNAUDITED)

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared from
the historical books and records of SCM. These financial statements have been
prepared by management in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles and include such estimates and adjustments as deemed necessary to
present fairly the financial position, results of operations, and cash flows of
SCM.

           UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

The following unaudited pro forma combined condensed financial statements have
been prepared by OMG's management. These financial statements reflect OMG's
acquisition of SCM and combine for the periods or date indicated the historical
consolidated financial statements of OMG and SCM, using the purchase method of
accounting.

OMG has a December 31 year end, while SCM has historically utilized a September
year end. For purposes of developing the pro forma financial statements, OMG and
SCM have been combined utilizing their respective fiscal years. The unaudited
pro forma combined condensed balance sheet reflects the adjustments as if the
acquisition had occurred on December 31, 1996. The unaudited pro forma combined
statement of income reflects adjustments as if the acquisition had occurred at
the beginning of the year indicated. These pro forma financial statements should
be read in conjunction with the historical financial statements and related
notes of OMG and SCM. The pro forma financial statements include preliminary
estimates and assumptions which OMG's management believes are reasonable. The
pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results which would have
occurred if the business combination had been in effect on the dates indicated,
or which may result in the future, and do not include any cost savings or other
effects of the planned integration of OMG and SCM.

The pro forma financial statements have been prepared using the following facts
and assumptions:

       1.     OMG acquires the assets and liabilities of SCM in exchange for a
              total cash payment of $122 million.

       2.     OMG borrows $124 million to finance the acquisition price and
              related transaction costs of $2 million.

       3.     The acquired assets and liabilities of SCM are recorded at
              estimated fair values, as determined by OMG's management, based on
              information currently available and on current tentative
              assumptions as to the future operations of SCM. Accordingly, the
              allocation of the purchase price to the acquired assets and
              liabilities of SCM is subject to revision as a result of the final
              determination of appraised and other fair values.

          Notes to Unaudited Pro Forma Combined Condensed Balance Sheet

The adjustments to give pro forma effect to reflect OMG's acquisition of SCM and
the estimated purchase price allocation at December 31, 1996 are as follows:

       1.     The borrowing by OMG to finance the $122 million acquisition price
              and related transaction costs of $2 million.

       2.     The allocation of the aggregate purchase price of SCM, and the
              recognition of the excess of aggregate purchase price over the
              estimated fair value of net assets acquired, is as follows (in
