NOTES
TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
May 31, 2004, 2003, 2002

NOTE A - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

1) CONSOLIDATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Our financial statements consolidate all of our affiliates - companies that we control and in which we hold a majority voting interest. We account for our investments in less than majority-owned joint ventures under the equity method. Effects of transactions between related companies are eliminated.

We have reclassified certain prior-year amounts to conform to this year's presentation.

2) USE OF ESTIMATES

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles in the United States requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

3) BUSINESS COMBINATIONS

During the year ended May 31, 2004, we completed four acquisitions of product lines and one minority interest acquisition. As of the respective dates of acquisition, we recorded the following estimated fair values of assets and liabilities assumed:

Our Consolidated Financial Statements reflect the results of operations of these businesses as of their respective dates of acquisition.

Pro forma results of operations for the years ended May 31, 2004 and May 31, 2003 were not materially different from reported results and, consequently, are not presented.

4) FOREIGN CURRENCY

The functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries is their local currency. Accordingly, for the periods presented, assets and liabilities have been translated using exchange rates at year end while income and expense for the periods have been translated using a weighted average exchange rate. The resulting translation adjustments have been recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss, a component of stockholders' equity, and will be included in net earnings only upon the sale or liquidation of the underlying foreign investment, neither of which is contemplated at this time. Transaction gains and losses have been immaterial during the past three fiscal years.

6) CASH AND SHORT-TERM INVESTMENTS

For purposes of the statement of cash flows, we consider all highly liquid debt instruments purchased with a maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We do not believe we are exposed to any significant credit risk on cash and short-term investments.

7) MARKETABLE SECURITIES

Marketable securities, included in other current assets, are considered available for sale and are reported at fair value, based on quoted market prices. Changes in unrealized gains and losses, net of applicable taxes, are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss within stockholders' equity. If we were to experience any significant other-than-temporary declines in market value from original cost, those amounts would be reflected in operating income in the period in which the loss were to occur. In order to determine whether an other-than-temporary decline in market value has occurred, the duration of the decline in value and our ability to hold the investment to recovery are considered in conjunction with an evaluation of the strength of the underlying collateral and the extent to which the investment's carrying value exceeds its related market value. Marketable securities totaled $41.4 million and $22.1 million at May 31, 2004 and 2003, respectively.

8) FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Financial instruments recorded on the balance sheet include cash and short-term investments, accounts receivable, notes and accounts payable, and debt. The carrying amount of cash and short-term investments, accounts receivable, and notes and accounts payable approximates fair value because of their short-term maturity.

The carrying amount of our debt instruments approximates fair value based on quoted market prices, variable interest rates or borrowing rates for similar types of debt arrangements.

9) INVENTORIES

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market, cost being determined substantially on a first-in, first-out (FIFO) basis and market being determined on the basis of replacement cost or net realizable value. Inventory costs include raw material, labor and manufacturing overhead. Inventories were composed of the following major classes:

10) GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS

We elected to adopt the provisions of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards ("SFAS") No. 142, "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," as of June 1, 2001, at which time we ceased the amortization of all goodwill. We also elected to perform the required annual impairment assessment in the first quarter of our fiscal year. If a loss were to result from the performance of the annual test, it would be reflected in operating income. The annual goodwill impairment assessment involves estimating the fair value of each reporting unit, which has been defined as one level below our industrial and consumer operating segments, and comparing it with its carrying amount. If the carrying amount of the reporting unit exceeds its fair value, additional steps are followed to recognize a potential impairment loss. Calculating the fair value of the reporting units requires significant estimates and assumptions by management. We estimate the fair value of our reporting units by applying third-party market value indicators to each of our reporting unit's projected earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. In applying this methodology, we rely on a number of factors, including future business plans, actual operating results and market data. In the event that our calculations indicated that goodwill was impaired, a fair value estimate of each tangible and intangible asset would be established. This process would require the application of discounted cash flows expected to be generated by each asset in addition to independent asset appraisals, as appropriate. Cash flow estimates are based on our historical experience and our internal business plans, and appropriate discount rates are applied. The results of our annual impairment tests for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2004 and 2003, performed during the first quarter of each respective fiscal year, did not require any adjustment to the carrying value of goodwill.

The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill, by reporting segment, for the year ended May 31, 2004, are as follows:

The aggregate other intangible asset amortization expense for the fiscal years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $12.8 million, $11.9 million and $11.3 million, respectively. For each of the next five fiscal years through May 31, 2009, the estimated annual intangible asset amortization expense will approximate $13.0 million.

11) DEPRECIATION

Depreciation is computed primarily using the straight-line method over the following ranges of useful lives:

Land improvements                          5 to 42 years
Buildings and improvements                 5 to 50 years
Machinery and equipment                    3 to 20 years

12) REVENUE RECOGNITION

Revenues are recognized when realized or realizable, and when earned. In general, this is when title and risk of loss pass to the customer. Further, revenues are realizable when we have persuasive evidence of a sales arrangement, the product has been shipped or the services have been provided to the customer, the sales price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. We reduce our revenues for estimated customer returns and allowances, certain rebates, sales incentives and promotions in the same period the related sales are recorded.

13) SHIPPING COSTS

Shipping costs paid to third-party shippers for transporting products to customers are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, shipping costs were $86.0 million, $78.9 million and $77.9 million, respectively.

14) ADVERTISING COSTS

Advertising costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. For the years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, advertising costs were $71.1 million, $58.7 million and $53.4 million, respectively.

15) RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

Research and development costs are charged to operations when incurred and are included in selling, general and administrative expenses. The amounts charged for the years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 were $26.2 million, $23.8 million and $20.9 million, respectively. The customer-sponsored portion of such expenditures was not significant.

16) STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION

At May 31, 2004, we had two stock-based compensation plans accounted for under the recognition and measurement principles of Accounting Principles Board ("APB") Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees," and related interpretations, as more fully described in Note D. In applying the intrinsic value method of accounting for stock-based compensation, we record expense in an amount equal to the excess of the market price of the underlying shares of RPM International Inc. stock at the date of grant over the exercise price of the stock-related award. In general, the market price of stock options at the grant date has not exceeded the exercise price and, therefore, no expense has been recorded for any of the periods presented. Pro forma information regarding the impact of all stock-based compensation on net income and earnings per share is required by SFAS No. 123, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation," and SFAS No. 148, "Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation - Transition and Disclosure." The following table summarizes our pro forma operating results as if compensation cost for stock options granted had been determined in accordance with the fair-value method prescribed by SFAS No. 123.

17) INTEREST EXPENSE, NET

Interest expense is shown net of investment income, which consists of interest, dividends and capital gains (losses). Investment income for the years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $2.3 million, $1.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively.

18) INCOME TAXES

We file a consolidated federal income tax return that includes the results of RPM International Inc. and our wholly owned domestic subsidiaries. The tax effects of transactions are recognized in the year in which they enter into the determination of net income, regardless of when they are recognized for tax purposes. As a result, income tax expense differs from actual taxes payable. We do not intend to distribute the accumulated earnings of our consolidated foreign subsidiaries totaling approximately $130.0 million at May 31, 2004, and, therefore, no provision has been made for the taxes that would result if such earnings were remitted to us.

19) OTHER RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In December 2003, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), "Employers' Disclosures about Pensions and Other Postretirement Benefits - an amendment of FASB Statement No. 87, 88 and 106," which was effective as of December 15, 2003. This new SFAS No. 132 expands the disclosure requirements previously included in the pronouncement, including a requirement to disclose the actual and target allocation percentages for broad asset categories, expected employer contributions during the next fiscal year, the accumulated benefit obligation, significant assumptions applied in determining plan obligations and measurement date(s) used. In accordance with the transition provisions of SFAS No. 132 (revised 2003), Note F, "Pension Plans," and Note G,

"Postretirement Health Care Benefits," have been expanded to include the new disclosures required for the current reporting period.

In July 2002, the FASB issued SFAS No. 146, "Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities." SFAS No. 146 requires that a liability for costs associated with an exit or disposal activity be recognized and measured initially at fair value only when the liability is incurred, and is effective for exit or disposal activities that are initiated after December 31, 2002. Our adoption of the provisions of SFAS No. 146 did not have a material impact on our results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

The aggregate maturities of long-term debt for the five fiscal years subsequent to May 31, 2004 are as follows: 2005 - $1.0 million; 2006 - $228.7 million; 2007 - $10.1 million; 2008 - $250.1 million (including $150.0 million of 2.75% Senior Convertible Notes based on the date of the noteholders' first put option); 2009 - $30.0 million. Additionally, at May 31, 2004, we had unused lines of credit totaling $605.6 million.

In June 2002, we established an accounts receivable securitization program with several banks for certain of our subsidiaries, providing for a wholly owned special purpose entity ("SPE") to receive investments of up to $125.0 million. The securitized accounts receivable are owned in their entirety by RPM Funding Corporation, a wholly owned consolidated subsidiary of RPM International Inc., and are not available to satisfy claims of our creditors until the participating banks' obligations have been paid in full. This securitization is accomplished by having certain subsidiaries sell various of their accounts receivable to the SPE, and by having the SPE then transfer those receivables to a conduit administered by the banks. This transaction did not constitute a form of off-balance sheet financing, and is fully reflected in our financial statements. This transaction increases our liquidity and reduces our financing costs by replacing up to $125.0 million of existing borrowings at lower interest rates. The amounts available under the program are subject to changes in the credit ratings of our customers, customer concentration levels or certain characteristics of the underlying accounts receivable. As of May 31, 2004, we had no outstanding balance under this arrangement.

In May 2003, we issued $297.0 million face value at maturity unsecured 2.75% Senior Convertible Notes due May 13, 2033. The 2.75% Notes are convertible into 8,034,355 shares of RPM International Inc. common stock at a price of $18.68 per share, subject to adjustment, during any fiscal quarter for which the closing price of the common stock is greater than $22.41 per share for a defined duration of time. The Notes are also convertible during any period in which the credit rating of the Notes is below a specified level or if specified corporate transactions have occurred. The 2.75% Notes are redeemable by the holder for the issuance price plus accrued original issue discount in May 2008, 2013, 2018, 2023, 2028 and 2033. Interest on the 2.75% Notes is payable at a rate of 2.75% beginning November 13, 2003 until May 13, 2008. After that date, cash interest will not be paid prior to maturity, subject to certain contingencies.

NOTE D - COMMON STOCK

There are 300,000,000 shares of common stock authorized at May 31, 2004 and 2003 with a par value of $0.01 per share. At May 31, 2004 and 2003, there were 116,122,000 and 115,496,000 shares outstanding, respectively, each of which is entitled to one vote.

Basic earnings per share are computed by dividing income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year. To compute diluted earnings per share, the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during each year was increased by common stock options with exercisable prices lower than the average market prices of common stock during each year and reduced by the number of shares assumed to have been purchased with proceeds from the exercised options. Our convertible notes, while potentially dilutive, are not currently considered common stock equivalents.

Effective October 10, 2003, the RPM International Inc. 2003 Restricted Stock Plan for Directors (the "2003 Plan") was approved by our stockholders. The Plan was established primarily for the purpose of recruiting and retaining directors, and to align the interests of directors with the interests of our stockholders. Only directors who are not employees of RPM International Inc. are eligible to participate. Under the 2003 Plan, up to 500,000 shares of RPM International Inc. common stock may be awarded. For the year ended May 31, 2004, 21,600 shares were granted, with 478,400 shares available for future grant. Unamortized deferred compensation expense relating to restricted stock grants for directors of $0.2 million at May 31, 2004 is being amortized over a three-year vesting period.

RPM International Inc. and Subsidiaries

39

We have shares outstanding under two restricted stock plans for employees. Under the terms of the plans, up to 2,563,000 shares may be awarded to certain employees, generally subject to forfeiture until the completion of five or 10 years of service. For the year ended May 31, 2004, 49,500 shares were awarded under these plans. At May 31, 2004, 42,000 vested shares remained in these plans (26,000 at May 31, 2003). Unamortized deferred compensation expense of $4.7 million at May 31, 2004, relating to restricted stock grants for employees, is being amortized over the 10-year vesting period.

Total deferred compensation expense for the years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002 was $1.3 million, $2.1 million and $1.2 million, respectively.

Our Shareholder Rights Plan provides existing stockholders the right to purchase stock of RPM International Inc. at a discount in certain circumstances, as defined by the Plan. The rights are not exercisable at May 31, 2004 and expire in May 2009.

We have options outstanding under two stock option plans, the 1989 Stock Option Plan and the 1996 Key Employees Stock Option Plan, the latter of which provides for the granting of options for up to 9,000,000 shares. Stock options are granted to employees and directors at an exercise price equal to the fair market value of RPM International Inc. stock at the date of grant. These options are generally exercisable cumulatively, in equal annual installments commencing one year from the grant date, and have expiration dates ranging from October 2004 to October 2013. At May 31, 2004, 648,000 shares (1,902,000 at May 31, 2003) were available for future grant.

The following table summarizes option activity under the Plans during the last three fiscal years:

We apply APB Opinion No. 25 and related interpretations in accounting for our employee stock options. Under APB Opinion No. 25, because the exercise price of our employee stock options is not less than the market price of the shares at the date of grant, no compensation expense is recognized in the financial statements. See Note A, "Summary of Significant Accounting Policies," for the pro forma disclosures of net income and earnings per share required under SFAS No. 123.

NOTE E - LEASES

We lease certain property, plant and equipment under long-term lease agreements, some of which provide for increased rental payments based upon increases in the cost-of-living index. The following table illustrates our future minimum lease commitments under all non-cancelable lease agreements, for each of the next five years and in the aggregate, as of May 31, 2004:

Total rental expense for all operating leases amounted to $27.1 million in 2004, $24.3 million in 2003 and $23.1 million in 2002. Capitalized leases were immaterial for the three years ended May 31, 2004.

NOTE F - PENSION PLANS

We sponsor several pension plans for our employees, including our principal plan (the "Retirement Plan"), which is a non-contributory defined benefit pension plan covering substantially all domestic non-union employees. Pension benefits are provided for certain domestic union employees through separate plans. Employees of our foreign subsidiaries receive pension coverage, to the extent deemed appropriate, through plans that are governed by local statutory requirements. The measurement date used to determine pension benefit measurements for both the U.S. and non-U.S. plans was February 29, 2004.

The Retirement Plan provides benefits that are based upon years of service and average compensation, with accrued benefits vesting after five years. Benefits for union employees are generally based upon years of service, or years of service and average compensation. Our funding policy is to contribute an amount on an annual basis that can be deducted for federal income tax purposes, using a different actuarial cost method and different assumptions from those used for financial reporting. For the fiscal year ending May 31, 2005, we expect to contribute approximately $10.0 million to the Retirement Plan in the U.S., in addition to the approximate $1.7 million that we expect to contribute to our foreign plans.

Net periodic pension cost (income) consisted of the following for the three years ended May 31, 2004:

                                                     U.S. Plans                        Non-U.S. Plans

To develop the expected long-term rate of return on pension plan assets assumption, we consider the current and expected target asset allocations of the pension portfolio, as well as historical returns and future expectations for returns on various categories of plan assets. The following weighted average assumptions were used to determine our year-end benefit obligations and net periodic pension cost under the plans:

The primary objective for the investments of the Retirement Plan is to provide for long-term growth of capital without undue exposure to risk. This is accomplished by utilizing a strategy of equities, fixed income securities and cash equivalents in a mix that is conducive to participation in a rising market, while allowing for adequate protection in a falling market. The Plan Investment Committee oversees the investment allocation process, which includes the selection and evaluation of investment managers, the determination of investment objectives and risk guidelines, and the monitoring of actual investment performance. In order to properly manage investment risk, plan policy prohibits short selling, securities lending, financial futures, options and other specialized investments, except for certain alternative investments specifically approved by the Investment Committee. The Investment Committee reviews, on a quarterly basis, reports of actual plan investment performance provided by independent third parties, in addition to its review of the plan investment policy on an annual basis.

Outside the U.S., the investment objectives are similar, subject to local regulations. In general, investments are managed by private investment managers, reporting to our Investment Committee on a regular basis.

In addition to the defined benefit pension plans discussed above, we also sponsor employee savings plans under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code, which cover many employees in the United States. The majority of the plans provide for matching contributions based upon qualified employee contributions. Matching contributions are invested in the same manner in which the participants invest their own contributions. Matching contributions charged to income were $7.8 million, $6.1 million and $5.2 million for the years ended May 31, 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

NOTE G - POSTRETIREMENT HEALTH CARE BENEFITS

We sponsor several unfunded health care benefit plans for certain of our retired employees. Eligibility for these benefits is based upon minimum age and service requirements. The following table illustrates the effect on operations of these plans for the three years ended May 31, 2004:

A measurement date of May 31, 2004 was used to determine postretirement benefit measurements outlined above.

A 6.0% general discount rate was used in determining the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of May 31, 2004 (6.7% for 2003). A general discount rate of 6.7% was used to determine the net periodic postretirement expense for the year ended May 31, 2004 (7.25% for 2003). Also used in determining the year-end accumulated postretirement benefit obligation was a 10.0% increase in the cost of covered health care benefits for fiscal 2004 (9.0% for 2003). This trend rate in all cases is assumed to decrease to 5.0% after several years and remain at that level thereafter, except for various union plans, which will cap at alternate benefit levels. A health care cost trend rate of 9.0% was used in measuring the net periodic postretirement expense for the year ended May 31, 2004 (8.0% for 2003). Increasing the health care costs trend rate by 1.0% would have increased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of May 31, 2004 by $2.4 million and the net postretirement expense by $0.2 million. Decreasing the health care costs trend rate by 1.0% would have decreased the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation as of May 31, 2004 by $2.0 million and the net postretirement expense by $0.2 million.

The Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act (the "Act") was enacted on December 8, 2003. The Act introduces a prescription drug benefit under Medicare Part D, in addition to a federal subsidy to sponsors of postretirement benefit plans that provide a prescription drug benefit that is at least actuarially equivalent to Medicare Part D. In accordance with FASB Staff Position No. FAS 106-1, "Accounting and Disclosure Requirements Related to the Medicare Prescription Drug, Improvement and Modernization Act of 2003," we have elected to defer recognition of the Act. Therefore, the effects of this Act have not been reflected in the accumulated postretirement benefit obligation or net periodic postretirement benefit cost.

Upon clarification of accounting for the Act, we may be required to change previously reported information. Also upon clarification, we may choose to amend our postretirement medical plan to reflect the benefits of the Act.

NOTE H - CONTINGENCIES AND LOSS RESERVES

Accrued loss reserves and asbestos-related liabilities consist of the following:

We provide, through our wholly owned insurance subsidiaries, certain insurance coverage, primarily product liability, to our other subsidiaries. Excess coverage is provided by outside carriers. The reserves reflected above provide for these potential losses as well as other uninsured claims. In fiscal 2003, product liability reserves increased to $53.2 million, or by approximately $16.5 million, as a result of a preliminary determination of liability under

RPM International Inc. and Subsidiaries

a proposed class action lawsuit settlement covering Dryvit's exterior insulated finish systems product line. The liability was substantially covered by excess coverage from outside insurance carriers, and offsetting receivables were recorded at that time. Portions of those receivables have already been funded in cash at the end of fiscal 2004, with the remainder reflected as short- and long-term receivables. The increase in the accrual in 2003 relating to the class action lawsuit had no impact on our statement of operations as a result of the outside insurance funding. This accrual increase is expected to be a one-time event, caused by the class action lawsuit. Accrual movement has returned to historic patterns in fiscal 2004.

Certain of our wholly owned subsidiaries, principally Bondex International, Inc. (Bondex), along with many other U.S. companies, are and have been involved in a large number of asbestos-related suits filed primarily in state courts during the past two decades. These suits principally allege personal injury resulting from exposure to asbestos-containing products. The alleged claims relate primarily to products that Bondex sold through 1977. In many cases, plaintiffs are unable to demonstrate that they have suffered any compensable loss as a result of such exposure, or that injuries incurred resulted from exposure to Bondex products.

The rate at which plaintiffs filed asbestos-related suits against Bondex increased in the fourth quarter of 2002 and the first two quarters of 2003, influenced by the bankruptcy filings of numerous other defendants in asbestos-related litigation. Based on the significant increase in asbestos claims activity, which in many cases disproportionately increased Bondex's exposure in joint and several liability law states, our third-party insurance was depleted within the first fiscal quarter of 2004, as previously reported. Our third-party insurers historically had been responsible, under various cost-sharing arrangements, for the payment of approximately 90% of the indemnity and defense costs associated with our asbestos litigation. Prior to this sudden precipitous increase in loss rates, the combination of book loss reserves and insurance coverage was expected to adequately cover asbestos liabilities for the foreseeable future. We have reserved our rights with respect to various of our third-party insurers' claims of exhaustion, and in late calendar 2002 commenced reviewing our known insurance policies to determine whether other insurance limits may be available to cover our asbestos liabilities. As a result of this examination and as previously disclosed, certain of our subsidiaries filed a complaint for declaratory judgment, breach of contract and bad faith against various third-party insurers, challenging their assertion that their policies covering asbestos-related claims have been exhausted. Since the July 3, 2003 filing in Ohio, this action was combined with a related case and, pursuant to a December 9, 2003 case management order, the parties are to complete discovery by April 30, 2005. The court order provides other deadlines for various stages of the case, including dispositive motions, and the court has established a trial date of March 6, 2006. It is possible that these dates may be modified as the case progresses. We are unable at the present time to predict the timing or ultimate outcome of this litigation. Consequently, we are unable to predict whether, or to what extent, any additional insurance may be available to cover a portion of our asbestos liabilities. We have not included any potential benefits from this litigation either in our financial statements or in calculating the $140.0 million reserve, which was established in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2003. Our wholly owned captive insurance companies have not provided any insurance or re-insurance coverage of any asbestos-related claims.

During the last seven months of 2003, new state liability laws were enacted in three states (Ohio, Mississippi and Texas) where more than 80% of the claims against Bondex were pending. Effective dates for the last two of the law changes were April 8, 2003 and July 1, 2003. The changes generally provided for liability to be determined on a "proportional cause" basis, thereby limiting Bondex's responsibility to only its share of the alleged asbestos exposure. At the end of 2003, the ultimate impact of these initial state law changes was difficult to predict given the limited time following enactment. The full influence of these initial state law changes on legal settlement values was not expected to be significantly visible until the latter part of fiscal 2004. Claims in the three subject states at year-end 2004 represent approximately 70% of aggregate claims. During the third and fourth quarters of 2004, two of the three previously mentioned states that adopted "proportional cause" liability in 2003 passed additional legislation impacting asbestos liability lawsuits. Among the recent changes are enhanced medical criteria and product identification to be presented by plaintiffs in litigation. While there have been some changes in the type of claims filed in

RPM International Inc. and Subsidiaries

46

certain of these states, the ultimate influence these law changes may have on future claims activity and settlement values remains uncertain.

At the end of 2002 and through the third quarter of 2003, Bondex had concluded it was not possible to estimate its cost of disposing of asbestos-related claims that might be filed against Bondex in the future due to a number of reasons, including its lack of sufficient comparable loss history from which to assess either the number or value of future asbestos-related claims. During the fourth quarter of 2003, Bondex retained a nationally recognized consulting firm with broad experience in estimating resolution costs associated with mass tort litigation, including asbestos, to assist it in analyzing its loss history data, to evaluate whether it would be possible to estimate the cost of disposing of pending claims in light of both past and recent loss history, and to assist in determining whether future asbestos-related claims reasonably expected to be filed against Bondex were measurable, given recent changes in various state laws.

Bondex provided the consultants with all relevant data regarding asbestos-related claims filed against Bondex through May 31, 2003. Management, with the consultants' input, concluded that it was not possible to currently estimate the full range of the cost of resolving future asbestos-related claims against Bondex because of various uncertainties associated with those potential future claims. These uncertainties, which hindered the consultant's and Bondex's ability to project future claim volumes and resolution costs, included the following:

- The bankruptcies of other companies facing large asbestos liability were a likely contributing cause of a sharp increase in filings against many defendants, including Bondex.

- The recent state law changes in states wherein the vast majority of our claims are pending and have been historically filed are expected to materially affect future losses and future claim filing activity and resolution costs.

- The currently proposed federal legislative initiative aimed at establishment of a federal asbestos trust fund has influenced and changed the demand behavior of plaintiffs from that of historic levels, creating further uncertainty in the estimation process.

At May 31, 2003, we could not estimate the liability that would result from all future claims. We established a reserve for those pending cases that had progressed to a stage where the cost to dispose of these cases could reasonably be estimated. The estimation of even pending cases was and is always difficult due to the dynamic nature of asbestos litigation. The estimated range of potential loss covering measurable known asbestos claims and a provision for future claims that were estimable at May 31, 2003 was $140.0 million to $145.0 million. Accordingly, we established a reserve equal to the lower end of this range of potential loss by taking an asbestos charge to 2003 operations of $140.0 million. We believed then and continue to believe that the asbestos reserve would be sufficient to cover asbestos-related cash flow requirements over the estimated three-year life of the reserve. The $140.0 million charge also includes $15.0 million in total projected defense costs over the estimated three-year life of the reserve. Additionally, Bondex's share of costs (net of then-available third-party insurance) for asbestos-related product liability was $6.7 million and $2.8 million for the years ended May 31, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

We recognize that future facts, events and legislation, both state and/or federal, may alter our estimates of both pending and future claims. We cannot estimate possible liabilities in excess of those accrued because we cannot predict the number of additional claims that may be filed in the future, the grounds for such claims, the damages that may be demanded, the probable outcome, or the impact of the last 16 months of state law changes and pending federal legislation on prospective asbestos claims. Subject to the foregoing variables, including the timing and impact of such variables, our asbestos reserve should be sufficient to cover asbestos-related cash flow requirements through fiscal 2006. It is, however, reasonably possible that our actual costs for claims could differ from current estimates, but, based upon information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material effect on our competitive or financial position or our ongoing operations. However, our existing reserve will not likely be adequate to cover the costs of future claims beyond the three-year period contemplated by the reserve. Accordingly, it is probable that an additional charge will be required in some future period as those unforeseeable claims (as of the time the reserve was established) become measurable. Any such future charge, when taken, could therefore have a material impact on our results in such period.

In conjunction with outside advisors, we will continue to study our asbestos-related exposure and regularly evaluate the adequacy of this reserve and the related cash flow implications in light of actual claims experience, the impact of state law changes and the evolving nature of federal legislative efforts to address asbestos litigation. We will continue to explore all feasible alternatives available to resolve our asbestos-related exposure in a manner consistent with the best interests of our Stockholders.

The following table illustrates the movement of current and long-term asbestos-related liabilities for the three years ended May 31, 2004:

                                           Additions

Year ended May 31, 2003       3,377        $146,650            5,444      144,583
Year ended May 31, 2002       3,117           2,754            2,494        3,377
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In addition, like others in similar businesses, we are involved in several proceedings relating to environmental matters. It is our policy to accrue remediation costs when it is probable that such efforts will be required and the related costs can be reasonably estimated. These liabilities are undiscounted and do not take into consideration any possible recoveries of future insurance proceeds or claims against third parties. Provision for estimated warranty costs is recorded at the time of sale and periodically adjusted to reflect actual experience.

Due to the uncertainty inherent in the loss reserve estimation process, we are unable to estimate an additional range of loss in excess of our accruals. It is at least reasonably possible that actual costs will differ from estimates, but, based upon information presently available, such future costs are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our competitive or financial position or our ongoing results of operations. However, such costs could be material to results of operations in a future period.

NOTE I - SEGMENT INFORMATION

We operate a portfolio of businesses that manufacture and sell a variety of specialty paints, protective coatings and roofing systems, sealants and adhesives. We manage our portfolio by organizing our businesses into two operating segments - industrial and consumer - based on the nature of business activities, products and services; the structure of management; and the structure of information as presented to our Board of Directors. Within each segment, individual operating companies or groups of companies generally address common markets, utilize similar technologies, and can share manufacturing or distribution capabilities.

In addition to two operating segments, there are certain business activities, referred to as corporate/other, that do not constitute an operating segment, including corporate headquarters and related administrative expenses, results of our captive insurance companies, gains or losses on the sales of certain assets, and other expenses not directly associated with either operating segment. Related assets consist primarily of investments, prepaid expenses, deferred pension assets, and headquarters property and equipment. These corporate and other assets and expenses reconcile operating segment data to total consolidated net sales, income before income taxes, identifiable assets, capital expenditures, and depreciation and amortization.

The nine largest consumer segment customers represented approximately 25%, 24% and 24% of our consolidated net sales and approximately 55%, 53% and 50% of consumer segment net sales for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively. Sales to The Home Depot represented 12%, 12% and 11% of our consolidated net sales and 26%, 25% and 24% of consumer segment net sales for 2004, 2003 and 2002, respectively.

We reflect income from our joint ventures on the equity method, and receive royalties from our licensees. Total income from royalties and joint ventures amounted to approximately 2% or less of income before income taxes for each of the periods presented, and is therefore included

RPM International Inc. and Subsidiaries

48

as an offset to selling, general and administrative expenses. Export sales amounted to less than 10% of net sales for each of the three years presented.

The following table reflects the results of our operating segments consistent with our management philosophy, and represents the information we utilize, in conjunction with various strategic, operational and other financial performance criteria, in evaluating the performance of our portfolio of businesses.
