REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS
To the Shareholders and Board of
Directors of W. R. Grace & Co.:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of W. R. Grace &
Co. and its subsidiaries as of June 30, 2002, and the related consolidated
statements of operations and of comprehensive income for each of the three-month
and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001, the consolidated
statement of shareholders' equity (deficit) for each of the three-month and
six-month periods ended June 30, 2002, and the consolidated statement of cash
flows for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and June 30, 2001. These
financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.
We conducted our review in accordance with standards established by the American
Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim financial
information consists principally of applying analytical procedures to financial
data and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance
with generally accepted auditing standards, the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our review, we are not aware of any material modifications that should
be made to the accompanying consolidated interim financial statements for them
to be in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United
States of America.
The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements have been prepared
assuming that the Company will continue as a going concern. As discussed in Note
1 to the consolidated interim financial statements, on April 2, 2001, the
Company and substantially all of its domestic subsidiaries voluntarily filed for
protection under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, which raises
substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a going concern in
its present form. Management's intentions with respect to this matter are also
described in Note 1. The accompanying consolidated interim financial statements
do not include any adjustments that might result from the outcome of this
uncertainty.
We previously audited in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted
in the United States of America, the consolidated balance sheet as of December
31, 2001, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of cash flows,
of shareholders' equity (deficit) and of comprehensive (loss) income for the
year then ended (not presented herein). Our report, which was modified as to a
matter raising substantial doubt about the Company's ability to continue as a
going concern, was dated January 29, 2002. In our opinion, the information set
forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2001, is
fairly stated in all material respects in relation to the consolidated balance
sheet from which it has been derived.

W. R. GRACE & CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING AND FINANCIAL
REPORTING POLICIES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
W. R. Grace & Co., through its subsidiaries, is engaged in specialty chemicals
and specialty materials businesses on a worldwide basis. These businesses
consist of catalyst and silica products ("Davison Chemicals") and construction
chemicals, building materials and sealants and coatings ("Performance
Chemicals").
W. R. Grace & Co. conducts substantially all of its business through a direct,
wholly owned subsidiary, W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn. ("Grace-Conn."). Grace-Conn.
owns substantially all of the assets, properties and rights of W. R. Grace &
Co., either directly or through subsidiaries.
As used in these notes, the term "Company" refers to W. R. Grace & Co. The term
"Grace" refers to the Company and/or one or more of its subsidiaries and, in
certain cases, their respective predecessors.
VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY FILING: In response to a sharply increasing number of
asbestos-related bodily injury claims, on April 2, 2001 (the "Filing Date"), W.
R. Grace & Co. and 61 of its United States subsidiaries and affiliates,
including Grace-Conn. (collectively, the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions
for reorganization (the "Filing") under Chapter 11 of the United States
Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11" or the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States
Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The
cases were consolidated and are being jointly administered under case number
01-01139 (the "Chapter 11 Cases"). Grace's non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain of
its U.S. subsidiaries were not included in the Filing.
During 2000 and the first quarter of 2001, Grace experienced several adverse
developments in its asbestos-related litigation, including: a significant
increase in bodily injury claims, higher than expected costs to resolve bodily
injury and certain property damage claims, and class action lawsuits alleging
damages from a former attic insulation product. (These claims are discussed in
more detail in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) After a
thorough review of these developments, the Board of Directors of Grace concluded
on April 2, 2001 that a federal court-supervised Chapter 11 filing provides the
best forum available to achieve predictability and fairness in the claims
settlement process. By filing under Chapter 11, Grace expects to be able to both
obtain a comprehensive resolution of the claims against it and preserve the
inherent value of its businesses. Under Chapter 11, the Debtors expect to
continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under court
protection from their creditors and claimants, while using the Chapter 11
process to develop and implement a plan for addressing the asbestos-related
claims against them.
Consequence of Filing - As a consequence of the Filing, pending litigation
against the Debtors for pre-petition matters is generally stayed (subject to
certain exceptions in the case of governmental authorities), and no party may
take action to realize its pre-petition claims except pursuant to an order of
the Bankruptcy Court.
The Debtors intend to address all of their pending and future asbestos-related
claims and all other pre-petition claims in a plan of reorganization. Such a
plan of reorganization may include the establishment of a trust through which
all pending and future asbestos-related claims would be channeled for
resolution. However, it is currently impossible to predict with any degree of
certainty the amount that would be required to be contributed to the trust, how
the trust would be funded, how other pre-petition claims would be treated or
what impact any reorganization plan may have on the shares of common stock of
the Company. The interests of the Company's shareholders could be substantially
diluted or cancelled under a plan of reorganization. The formulation and
implementation of the plan of reorganization is expected to take a significant
period of time.
Status of Chapter 11 Proceedings - Since the Filing, all motions necessary to
conduct normal business activities have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
In addition, the Debtors have received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay
or otherwise honor certain of its pre-petition obligations in the ordinary
course of business, including employee wages and benefits, customer programs,
shipping charges and a limited amount of claims of essential trade creditors.
As provided by the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors had the exclusive right to
propose a plan of reorganization for a 120-day period following the Filing Date.
The Debtors have received an extension of their exclusivity period during which
to file a plan of reorganization through August 1, 2002, and an extension of the
Debtors' exclusive rights to solicit acceptances of a
I-6
reorganization plan through October 1, 2002. The Debtors have filed a motion to
extend the exclusivity period through February 1, 2003.
Three creditors' committees, two representing asbestos claimants and the third
representing other unsecured creditors, and a committee representing
shareholders have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases. These committees will
have the right to be heard on all matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court,
and, together with a legal representative of future asbestos claimants (whom
Grace expects to be appointed by the Bankruptcy Court in the future), are likely
to play important roles in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors are required to
bear certain of the committees' and the future asbestos claimants
representative's costs and expenses, including those of their counsel and
financial advisors.
In November 2001, the Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases, as well as the Chapter 11 Cases
of four unrelated companies with asbestos-related claims, were assigned to Judge
Alfred M. Wolin, a senior federal judge who sits in Newark, New Jersey. An
additional asbestos-related Chapter 11 case was assigned to Judge Wolin in March
2002. Judge Wolin will preside over the asbestos bodily injury matters affecting
all six companies and, at his choice, certain other asbestos-related lawsuits
particular to Grace. Judge Judith Fitzgerald, a U.S. Bankruptcy judge from the
Western District of Pennsylvania, sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, will preside
over the Debtors' other bankruptcy matters.
At a hearing on April 22, 2002 the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
establishing a bar date of March 31, 2003 for claims of general unsecured
creditors, asbestos property damage claims and medical monitoring claims related
to asbestos. The bar date does not apply to asbestos-related bodily injury
claims or claims related to Zonolite(R) attic insulation ("ZAI"), which will be
addressed separately. Grace has distributed notices and run media announcements
of the bar date under a program approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Rust
Counseling, the court-approved claims handling agent for the Chapter 11 Cases,
is maintaining a register of all claims filed. As claims are filed, Grace will
be cataloguing and assessing their validity.
In July 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved special counsel to represent the ZAI
claimants, at the Debtors' expense, in a proceeding to determine certain
threshold scientific issues regarding ZAI. The court set a litigation schedule
that would result in a hearing on these issues in the third quarter of 2003.
The Bankruptcy Court has set a September 30, 2002 trial date to determine
whether the 1998 transaction involving Grace's former packaging business and
Sealed Air Corporation constituted a fraudulent conveyance.
Impact on Debt Capital - All of the Debtor's pre-petition debt is in default due
to the Filing. The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2002
reflects the classification of the Debtors' pre-petition debt within
"Liabilities subject to compromise."
The Debtors have entered into a debtor-in-possession post-petition loan and
security agreement with Bank of America, N. A. (the "DIP facility") in the
aggregate amount of $250 million. The DIP facility has a term expiring in April
2003 and bears interest under a formula based on the London Inter-Bank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.00 to 2.25 percentage points depending on the level of
loans outstanding.
Accounting Impact - The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7 ("SOP 90-7") "Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," promulgated
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. SOP 90-7 requires
that financial statements of debtors-in-possession be prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
However, as a result of the Filing, the realization of certain of Debtors'
assets and liquidation of certain of Debtors' liabilities are subject to
significant uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession, the Debtors
may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for
amounts other than those reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and
classifications reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which do not
currently give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value or classification
of assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of a plan of
reorganization.
Pursuant to SOP 90-7, Grace's pre-petition liabilities that are subject to
compromise are required to be reported separately on the balance sheet at an
estimate of the amount that will ultimately be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.
As of June 30, 2002, such pre-petition liabilities include fixed obligations
(such as debt and contractual commitments) as well as estimates of costs related
to contingent liabilities (such as asbestos-related litigation and other
claims). The
I-7
recorded amounts of such liabilities generally reflect accounting measurements
as of the Filing Date, adjusted as warranted, for changes in facts and
circumstances and/or rulings under Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings subsequent to
the Filing. (See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for detail of
the "Liabilities subject to compromise" as of June 30, 2002, and as of the
Filing Date.) Obligations of Grace subsidiaries not covered by the Filing
continue to be classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet based upon maturity
dates or the expected dates of payment. SOP 90-7 also requires separate
reporting of certain expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for
losses related to the Filing as reorganization items.
BASIS OF PRESENTATION: The interim Consolidated Financial Statements presented
herein are unaudited and should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated
Financial Statements presented in the Company's 2001 Form 10-K. Such interim
Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion
of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the results of the
interim periods presented; all such adjustments are of a normal recurring
nature. Potential accounting adjustments discovered during normal reporting and
accounting processes are evaluated on the basis of materiality, both
individually and in the aggregate, and are recorded in the accounting period
discovered, unless a restatement of a prior period is necessary. All significant
intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
The results of operations for the three-month and six-month interim periods
ended June 30, 2002 are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
for the year ending December 31, 2002.
RECLASSIFICATIONS: Certain amounts in prior years' Consolidated Financial
Statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2002 presentation.
USE OF ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires that management make
estimates and assumptions affecting the assets and liabilities (including
contingent assets and liabilities) reported at the date of the Consolidated
Financial Statements and the revenues and expenses reported for the periods
presented. Actual amounts could differ from those estimates. Grace's accounting
measurements that are most affected by management's estimates of future events
are:
o Contingent liabilities such as asbestos-related matters, environmental
remediation, tax exposures and retained obligations of divested businesses.
o Pension and post-retirement liabilities that depend on assumptions regarding
discount rates and total returns on invested funds.
o Depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets including
property and equipment and intangible assets.
o Realization values of various assets such as receivables, inventories,
goodwill, insurance and tax attributes.
The accuracy of these and other estimates may also be materially affected by
developments in the Chapter 11 Cases.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2. CHAPTER 11 RELATED FINANCIAL INFORMATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As a result of the Filing, Grace's Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30,
2002 separately identifies the liabilities that are "subject to compromise" as a
result of the Chapter 11 proceedings. In Grace's case, "Liabilities subject to
compromise" represent pre-petition liabilities as determined under U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles. Changes to the recorded amount of such
liabilities will be based on developments in the Chapter 11 Cases and
management's assessment of the claim amounts that will ultimately be allowed by
the Bankruptcy Court. Changes to pre-petition liabilities subsequent to the
Filing Date reflect: 1) cash payments under approved court orders; 2) the
accrual of interest on pre-petition debt at the pre-petition contractual rate;
3) accruals for employee-related programs; and 4) changes in estimates related
to pre-petition contingent liabilities.

In addition to Grace's financial reporting obligations as prescribed by the U.S.
Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"), the Debtors are also required, under
the rules and regulations under the Bankruptcy Code, to periodically file
certain statements and schedules and a monthly operating report with the
Bankruptcy Court. This information is available to the public through the
Bankruptcy Court. This information is prepared in a format that may not be
comparable to information in Grace's quarterly and annual financial statements
as filed with the SEC. The monthly operating reports are not audited, do not
purport to represent the financial position or results of operations of Grace on
a consolidated basis and should not be relied on for such purposes.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
3. ASBESTOS-RELATED LITIGATION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace is a defendant in property damage and bodily injury lawsuits relating to
previously sold asbestos-containing products. On April 2, 2001, Grace filed
voluntary petitions for reorganization under Chapter 11 to use the
court-supervised reorganization process to achieve predictability and fairness
in the claims settlement process. See Note 1 for further discussion.
As of the Filing Date, Grace was a defendant in 65,656 asbestos-related
lawsuits, 16 involving claims for property damage (one of which has since been
dismissed), and the remainder involving 129,191 claims for bodily injury. Due to
the Filing, holders of asbestos-related claims are stayed from continuing to
prosecute pending litigation and from commencing new lawsuits against the
Debtors. Separate creditors' committees representing the interests of property
damage and bodily injury claimants have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases.
Grace's obligations with respect to present and future claims will be determined
through proceedings in the Bankruptcy Court and through negotiations with each
of the official committees appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases and a legal
representative of future asbestos claimants, this process is expected to provide
the basis for a plan of reorganization.
PROPERTY DAMAGE LITIGATION
The plaintiffs in property damage lawsuits generally seek to have the defendants
absorb the cost of removing, containing or repairing the asbestos-containing
materials in the affected buildings. Each property damage case is unique, in
that the age, type, size and use of the building, and the difficulty of asbestos
abatement, if necessary, vary from structure to structure. Information regarding
product identification, the amount of product in the building, the age, type,
size and use of the building, the jurisdictional history of prior cases and the
court in which the case is pending has provided meaningful guidance as to the
range of potential costs. Grace has recorded an accrual for all outstanding
property damage cases for which sufficient information is available to form a
reasonable estimate of such exposure.
Through June 30, 2002, out of 379 asbestos property damage cases filed: 141 were
dismissed without payment of any damages or settlement amounts; judgments were
entered in favor of Grace in nine cases (excluding cases settled following
appeals of judgments in favor of Grace); judgments were entered in favor of the
plaintiffs in seven cases for a total of $60.3 million; 207 property damage
cases were settled for a total of
I-10
$696.8 million; and 15 cases remain outstanding. Additional asbestos property
damage claims (other than claims with respect to ZAI) are to be filed as part of
the Chapter 11 claims process and are subject to the March 31, 2003 bar date
established by the Bankruptcy Court.
Of the 15 remaining cases, seven relate to ZAI and eight relate to a number of
former asbestos-containing products (two of which also involve ZAI). The ZAI
cases were filed as class action lawsuits in 2000 and 2001 on behalf of owners
of homes containing ZAI. These cases seek damages and equitable relief,
including the removal, replacement and/or disposal of all such insulation. The
plaintiffs assert that this product is in millions of homes throughout the U.S.
and that the cost of removal could be several thousand dollars per home. While
Grace has not completed its investigation of the claims described in these
cases, Grace believes that this product was and continues to be safe for its
intended purpose and poses little or no threat to human health. At this time,
Grace is not able to assess the extent of any possible liability related to this
matter. In July 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved special counsel to represent
the ZAI claimants, at the Debtors' expense, in a proceeding to determine certain
threshold scientific issues regarding ZAI. The court set a litigation schedule
that would result in a hearing on these issues in the third quarter of 2003.
BODILY INJURY LITIGATION
Bodily injury claims are generally similar to each other (differing primarily in
the type of asbestos-related illness allegedly suffered by the plaintiff).
However, Grace's estimated liability for such claims has been influenced by
numerous variables, including the solvency of other former asbestos producers,
cross-claims by co-defendants, the rate at which new claims are filed, the
jurisdiction in which the claims are filed, and the defense and disposition
costs associated with these claims. Grace's bodily injury liability reflects
management's estimate, as of the Filing Date, of the number and ultimate cost of
present and future bodily injury claims expected to be asserted against Grace
given demographic assumptions of possible exposure to asbestos containing
products previously manufactured by Grace.
Through the Filing Date, 16,354 asbestos bodily injury lawsuits involving
approximately 35,720 claims were dismissed without payment of any damages or
settlement amounts (primarily on the basis that Grace products were not
involved), and approximately 55,489 lawsuits involving approximately 163,698
claims were disposed of (through settlement and judgments) for a total of $645.6
million. At the Filing Date, 129,191 claims remained unresolved. The Bankruptcy
Court has not yet established a procedure for submission of asbestos bodily
injury claims.
ASBESTOS-RELATED LIABILITY
Since litigation is stayed by the Chapter 11 Cases, ongoing costs are generally
limited to claims administration costs and to defense costs incurred in
connection with litigation permitted by the Bankruptcy Court. Any other
adjustments to the recorded liability will be based on developments in the
Chapter 11 Cases. For periods prior to and as of the Filing Date, Grace's
estimated property damage and bodily injury liabilities were based on its
experience with, and recent trends in, asbestos litigation. Its recorded
liabilities covered indemnity and defense costs for pending property damage
cases and for pending and projected future bodily injury claims. However, due to
the Filing and the uncertainties of asbestos-related litigation, actual amounts
could differ materially from the recorded liability. The total asbestos-related
liability balances as of June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 were $980.8 million
and $996.3 million, respectively. The decrease in the liability is primarily due
to settlements paid through draws on letters of credit securing the settlements.
These draws were reclassified to "other accrued liabilities" in liabilities
subject to compromise as payables to the issuing banks. The remaining decrease
is due to the payment of normal post-Filing administrative costs primarily
relating to claims processing.
ASBESTOS INSURANCE
Grace previously purchased insurance policies that cover a portion of its
asbestos-related lawsuits and claims. Insurance coverage for asbestos-related
liabilities has not been commercially available since 1985. Grace has settled
with and has been paid by all of its primary insurance carriers with respect to
both property damage and bodily injury cases and claims. Grace has also settled
with its excess insurance carriers that wrote policies available for property
damage cases; those settlements involve amounts paid and to be paid to Grace.
Grace believes that certain of these settlements may cover ZAI claims as well as
other property damage claims. In addition, Grace believes that additional
coverage for ZAI claims may exist under excess insurance policies not subject to
settlement agreements. Grace has settled with excess insurance carriers that
wrote policies available for bodily injury claims in layers of insurance that
Grace believes may be reached based on its current estimates.
I-11
The asbestos-related insurance asset represents amounts expected to be received
from insurers under settlement agreements for defense and disposition costs to
be paid by Grace. Estimated insurance reimbursements are based on the recorded
amount of the asbestos-related liability and are considered to be collectible.
In the event that Grace's ultimate asbestos-related liability is determined to
exceed recorded amounts, insurance exists to cover a portion of such incremental
liability, but generally in a lower proportion than the currently recorded
insurance receivable bears to the currently recorded liability.

4. ACQUISITIONS AND JOINT VENTURES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In January 2002, Grace, through its Swedish subsidiary, acquired the catalyst
manufacturing assets of Borealis A/S. In March 2002, Grace acquired Addiment,
Incorporated, a leading supplier of specialty chemicals to the concrete paver
and masonry industries in the U.S. and Canada. These acquisitions were accounted
for under the purchase method of accounting.
Pro forma results of operations have not been presented because the effects of
these acquisitions were not material on either an individual or aggregate basis.

6. GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, "Goodwill and
Other Intangible Assets" ("SFAS No. 142"), on January 1, 2002 and ceased the
amortization of goodwill. The pro forma impact on pre-tax earnings of applying
the new non-amortization provisions of SFAS No. 142 was $0.6 million and $0.7
million for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2001, respectively,
which had a $0.01 impact on both basic and diluted earnings per share. SFAS No.
142 requires that goodwill and indefinite life intangible assets be tested for
impairment on an annual basis. For purposes of measuring impairment under the
provisions of SFAS No. 142, Grace has identified its reporting units as catalyst
products ("Catalysts"), silica products ("Silicas"), specialty construction
chemicals ("SCC"), specialty building materials ("SBM") and specialty sealants
and coatings ("SSC"). In connection with the adoption of SFAS No. 142, Grace
evaluated its goodwill and other intangible assets that have indefinite useful
lives, with no impairment charge required.
At June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001, Grace had goodwill balances of $61.6
million and $55.8 million, respectively. The carrying amount of goodwill
attributable to each reporting unit with goodwill balances and the changes in
those balances during the six months ended June 30, 2002 are as follows:

Grace is the beneficiary of life insurance policies on certain current and
former employees with benefits in force of approximately $2,247.6 million and a
net cash surrender value of $87.0 million at June 30, 2002. The policies were
acquired to fund various employee benefit programs and other long-term
liabilities and are structured to provide cash flow (primarily tax-free) over an
extended number of years. The following table summarizes activity in these
policies for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 and components of the

In April 2001, the Debtors entered into the DIP facility in the aggregate amount
of $250 million. The DIP facility has a term of two years, is secured by a
priority lien on substantially all assets of the Debtors, and bears interest
based on LIBOR. Grace had no outstanding borrowings under the DIP facility as of
June 30, 2002. However, $13.5 million of standby letters of credit were issued
and outstanding under the facility as of June 30, 2002. The letters of credit,
which reduce available funds under the facility, were issued mainly for
trade-related matters such as performance bonds, as well as certain insurance
and environmental matters.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
10. SHAREHOLDERS' EQUITY (DEFICIT)
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Company is authorized to issue 300,000,000 shares of common stock. Of the
common stock unissued on June 30, 2002, approximately 12,128,934 shares were
reserved for issuance pursuant to stock option and other stock incentive plans.
In the first six months of 2002, the Company did not grant any stock options.

ASBESTOS-RELATED LITIGATION - SEE NOTE 3
ENVIRONMENTAL
General Matters and Discussion
Grace is subject to loss contingencies resulting from extensive and evolving
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations relating to
the generation, storage, handling, discharge and disposition of hazardous wastes
and other materials. Grace accrues for anticipated costs associated with
investigative and remediation efforts where an assessment has indicated that a
probable liability has been incurred and the cost can be reasonably estimated.
These accruals do not take into account any discounting for the time value of
money. At June 30, 2002, Grace's liability for environmental investigative and
remediation costs related to continuing and discontinued operations totaled
$146.5 million, as compared to $153.1 million at December
I-15
31, 2001. This estimate of environmental cost is based on funding and/or
remediation agreements in place and Grace's best estimate of its cost for sites
not subject to a formal remediation plan. The amounts of cash expenditures below
have been charged against previously established reserves for the periods
presented.

=============================================================
In addition to the cash payments, Grace's environmental liability decreased $1.5
million during the second quarter due to draws on letters of credit supporting
environmental remediation activity. The draws were reclassified to "other"
liabilities subject to compromise. During the three-month and six-month periods
ended June 30, 2002, Grace recorded pre-tax charges of $2.0 million and $5.8
million, respectively, primarily for remediation and defense costs at previously
operated vermiculite mining and processing sites. The environmental risks
related to Grace's former vermiculite mining and processing activities could
result in material future charges to Grace's earnings, the amounts of which are
not currently determinable. (See discussion under "Vermiculite Related Matters"
below.)
Grace's environmental liabilities are reassessed whenever circumstances become
better defined or remediation efforts and their costs can be better estimated.
These liabilities are evaluated based on currently available information,
including the progress of remedial investigation at each site, the current
status of discussions with regulatory authorities regarding the method and
extent of remediation at each site, existing technology, prior experience in
contaminated site remediation and the apportionment of costs among potentially
responsible parties. Grace expects that the funding of environmental remediation
activities will be affected by the Chapter 11 proceedings, but cannot predict at
this time if such proceedings will have a favorable or adverse effect; any such
effect could be material. Grace's environmental liabilities are included in
"Liabilities subject to compromise" as of June 30, 2002.
Vermiculite Related Matters
From the 1920's until 1990, Grace and previous owners conducted vermiculite
mining and related activities near Libby, Montana. The vermiculite ore that was
mined contained varying amounts of asbestos as a contaminant, almost all of
which was removed during processing. Expanded vermiculite from Libby was used in
products such as fireproofing, insulation and potting soil. In November 1999,
Region 8 of the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency ("EPA") began an
investigation into alleged excessive levels of asbestos-related disease in the
Libby population related to these former mining activities. This investigation
led the EPA to undertake additional investigative activity and to carry out
remedial actions in and around Libby. On March 30, 2001, the EPA filed a lawsuit
in U.S. District Court for the District of Montana, Missoula Division (United
States v. W. R. Grace & Company et al.) under the Comprehensive Environmental
Response, Compensation and Liability Act for the recovery of costs allegedly
incurred by the United States in response to the release or threatened release
of asbestos in the Libby, Montana area relating to such former mining
activities. These costs include cleaning and/or demolition of contaminated
buildings, the excavation and removal of contaminated soil, health screening of
Libby residents and former mine workers, and investigation and monitoring costs.
In this action, the United States is also seeking a declaration of Grace's
liability that would be binding in future actions to recover further response
costs.
The EPA also has proposed that Libby be added to the EPA's National Priorities
List of Superfund sites. The EPA has reported that it has spent approximately
$44.1 million in response costs in and around Libby through December 2001 and
expects to have committed $60 million by the end of 2002. Grace expects that the
EPA will incur additional response costs after 2002. The EPA has approved an
Action Memorandum Amendment dated May 2, 2002 that increases the EPA's spending
authority and expands the scope of proposed remedial action to include the
removal of Libby vermiculite (including ZAI) from businesses and private
residences in the Libby area. Grace believes that projected spending under the
Action Memorandum Amendment, when combined with the EPA's previous and committed
expenditures, could bring the EPA's total cost recovery claim against Grace to
$100 million or more.
At this time Grace has accrued only for the expected defense costs of this
lawsuit. In connection with its defense, Grace is conducting its own
investigation to
I-16
determine whether the EPA's actions and cost claims are justified and
reasonable. Grace believes, based on preliminary findings, that certain of the
EPA's actions and spending have been unwarranted and excessive. Upon completion
of its investigation, Grace expects that it will have sufficient information to
estimate a probable liability for recovery costs, which liability could be
significant. This lawsuit is not subject to the automatic stay provided under
the Bankruptcy Code and is expected to be tried during the first quarter of
2003. Any liabilities for recovery costs would be included in liabilities
subject to compromise and recovery would be subject to the outcome of the
Chapter 11 proceedings.
Since January 2000, Grace has expended approximately $10 million for remediation
of certain Libby area vermiculite processing sites and for healthcare of Libby
area residents diagnosed with asbestos-related illness.
Insurance Matters
Grace is a party to three environmental insurance coverage actions involving one
primary and one excess insurance carrier regarding the applicability of the
carriers' policies to Grace's environmental remediation costs. The outcome of
such litigation as well as the amounts of any recoveries that Grace may receive
is presently uncertain. Accordingly, Grace has not recorded a receivable with
respect to such insurance coverage.
TAX MATTERS
Grace's federal tax returns covering tax periods from 1993 and forward are
either under examination by the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS") or open for
future examination. Grace has received the IRS examination report on tax periods
1993 through 1996. The most significant contested issue addressed in such report
is discussed in the next paragraph. Grace believes that previously established
reserves for tax matters will be sufficient to cover the expected net cost of
probable tax return adjustments. Any cash payment to satisfy tax adjustments
would be subject to Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings.
The IRS is challenging deductions of interest on loans secured by corporate
owned life insurance (COLI) policies for years prior to January 1, 1999. In
2000, Grace paid $21.2 million of tax and interest related to this issue for tax
years 1990 through 1992. Subsequent to 1992, Grace deducted approximately $163.2
million in interest attributable to COLI policy loans. Grace will contest this
and any future IRS assessments on the grounds that these insurance policies and
related loans had, and continue to have a valid business purpose, that the COLI
policies have economic substance and that interest deductions claimed were in
compliance with tax laws in effect at the time. Grace has requested and received
early referral to the IRS Office of Appeals and expects its case to be heard
within several months. Grace has accrued for potential tax and interest
liability related to the likely challenge of this tax position and continues to
accrue interest as part of the quarterly tax provision.
The IRS has assessed additional federal income tax withholding and Federal
Insurance Contributions Act taxes plus interest and related penalties for
calendar years 1993 through 1995 against a Grace subsidiary that formerly
operated a temporary staffing business for nurses and other healthcare
personnel. The assessments, aggregating $21.8 million, were made in connection
with a meal and incidental expense per diem plan for traveling healthcare
personnel, which was in effect through 1999. The IRS contends that certain per
diem reimbursements should have been treated as wages subject to employment
taxes and federal income tax withholding. Grace contends that its per diem and
expense allowance plans were in accordance with statutory and regulatory
requirements, as well as other published guidance from the IRS. Grace expects
that the IRS will make additional assessments for the 1996 through 1999 periods.
The matter is currently pending in the United States Court of Claims.
Grace has received notification from a foreign taxing authority assessing tax
deficiencies plus interest relating to the purchase and sale of foreign bonds in
1989 and 1990. This assessment, totaling $10.5 million, is related to the
Bekaert Group, which Grace sold in 1991, but as to which Grace retained
liability for tax deficiencies attributable to tax periods prior to the sale.
The matter is currently before the foreign authorities; no decision has been
rendered.
As a result of Grace's Chapter 11 filing, certain tax matters related to open
tax years, including COLI interest deductions, could become the direct
obligations of predecessor companies that now own Grace's former healthcare and
packaging businesses. One or both of these companies could be directly liable to
tax authorities for Grace's tax deficiencies. Pursuant to agreements relating to
each transaction, Grace is generally required to indemnify both parties for
taxes relating to periods prior to the closing of such
I-17
transactions. Any indemnification obligation that arises as a result of these
matters would be classified as a liability subject to compromise and subject to
the Chapter 11 proceedings.
FRAUDULENT TRANSFERS
The Company and one of its subsidiaries have been named in purported class
action suits alleging that the 1996 reorganization involving a predecessor of
Grace and Fresenius A.G. and the 1998 reorganization involving a predecessor of
Grace and Sealed Air Corporation were fraudulent transfers. The suits are
alleged to have been brought on behalf of all individuals who then had lawsuits
on file asserting personal injury or wrongful death claims against any of the
defendants. The other defendants in the suits have all asserted claims against
Grace for indemnification. Grace believes that the suits are without merit.
These lawsuits have been stayed as a result of Grace's Chapter 11 filing.
Fraudulent transfer claims related to the Sealed Air transaction are expected to
be heard by the Bankruptcy Court commencing on September 30, 2002.
PURCHASE COMMITMENTS
From time to time, Grace engages in purchase commitments in its various business
activities, all of which are expected to be fulfilled with no material adverse
consequences to Grace's operations or financial condition.
FINANCIAL ASSURANCES
At June 30, 2002, Grace had gross financial assurances issued and outstanding of
$239.3 million, comprised of $135.2 million of gross surety bonds issued by
various insurance companies and $104.1 million of standby letters of credit
issued by various banks. Of the standby letters of credit, $19.7 million act as
collateral for surety bonds, thereby reducing Grace's overall obligations under
its financial assurances to a net amount of $219.6 million. These financial
assurances were established for a variety of purposes, including insurance and
environmental matters, asbestos settlements and appeals, trade-related
commitments and other matters. Of the net amount of $219.6 million of financial
assurances, approximately $9.4 million were issued by non-Debtor entities and
$210.2 million were issued by the Debtors. Of the amounts issued by the Debtors,
approximately $196.3 million were issued before the Filing Date, with the
remaining $13.9 million being issued subsequent to the Filing, of which $13.5
million was issued under the DIP facility.
ACCOUNTING FOR CONTINGENCIES
Although the outcome of each of the matters discussed above cannot be predicted
with certainty, Grace has assessed its risk and has made accounting estimates as
required under generally accepted accounting principles. As a result of the
Filing, claims related to the items discussed above will be addressed as part of
Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings. Accruals recorded for such contingencies have
been included in "Liabilities subject to compromise" on the accompanying
Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2002. The amounts of these liabilities
as ultimately determined through the Chapter 11 proceedings could be materially
different from amounts recorded by Grace at June 30, 2002.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Grace is engaged in specialty chemicals and specialty materials businesses on a
global basis. Its business segments are Davison Chemicals, which produces
catalyst and silica products, and Performance Chemicals, which produces
construction chemicals, building materials and sealants and coatings.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
VOLUNTARY BANKRUPTCY FILING
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In response to a sharply increasing number of asbestos-related bodily injury
claims, on April 2, 2001 (the "Filing Date"), the Company and 61 of its United
States subsidiaries and affiliates, including W. R. Grace & Co.-Conn.
(collectively, the "Debtors"), filed voluntary petitions for reorganization (the
"Filing") under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code ("Chapter 11" or
the "Bankruptcy Code") in the United States Bankruptcy Court for the District of
Delaware (the "Bankruptcy Court"). The cases were consolidated and are being
jointly administered under case number 01-01139 (the "Chapter 11 Cases").
Grace's non-U.S. subsidiaries and certain of its U.S. subsidiaries were not
included in the Filing.
During 2000 and the first quarter of 2001, Grace experienced several adverse
developments in its asbestos-related litigation, including: a significant
increase in bodily injury claims, higher than expected costs to resolve bodily
injury and certain property damage claims, and class action lawsuits alleging
damages from a former attic insulation product. (These claims are discussed in
more detail in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.) After a
thorough review of these developments, the Board of Directors of Grace concluded
on April 2, 2001 that a federal court-supervised Chapter 11 filing provides the
best forum available to achieve predictability and fairness in the claims
settlement process. By filing under Chapter 11, Grace expects to be able to both
obtain a comprehensive resolution of the claims against it and preserve the
inherent value of its businesses. Under Chapter 11, the Debtors expect to
continue to operate their businesses as debtors-in-possession under court
protection from their creditors and claimants, while using the Chapter 11
process to develop and implement a plan for addressing the asbestos-related
claims against them.
Consequence of Filing - As a consequence of the Filing, pending litigation
against the Debtors from pre-petition matters is generally stayed (subject to
certain exceptions in the case of governmental authorities), and no party may
take action to realize its pre-petition claims except pursuant to an order of
the Bankruptcy Court.
The Debtors intend to address all of their pending and future asbestos-related
claims and all other pre-petition claims in a plan of reorganization. Such a
plan of reorganization may include the establishment of a trust, through which
all pending and future asbestos-related claims would be channeled for
resolution. However, it is currently impossible to predict with any degree of
certainty the amount that would be required to be contributed to the trust, how
the trust would be funded, how other pre-petition claims would be treated or
what impact any reorganization plan may have on the shares of common stock of
the Company. The interests of the Company's shareholders could be substantially
diluted or cancelled under a plan of reorganization. The formulation and
implementation of the plan of reorganization is expected to take a significant
period of time.
Status of Chapter 11 Proceedings - Since the Filing, all motions necessary to
conduct normal business activities have been approved by the Bankruptcy Court.
In addition, the Debtors have received approval from the Bankruptcy Court to pay
or otherwise honor certain of its pre-petition obligations in the ordinary
course of business, including employee wages and benefits, customer programs,
shipping charges and a limited amount of claims of essential trade creditors.
As provided by the Bankruptcy Code, the Debtors had the exclusive right to
propose a plan of reorganization for a 120-day period following the Filing Date.
The Debtors have received an extension of their exclusivity period during which
to file a plan of reorganization through August 1, 2002, and an extension of the
Debtors' exclusive rights to solicit acceptances of a reorganization plan
through October 1, 2002. The Debtors have filed a motion to extend the
exclusivity period through February 1, 2003.
Three creditors' committees, two representing asbestos claimants and the third
representing other unsecured creditors, and a committee representing
shareholders have been appointed in the Chapter 11 Cases. These committees will
have the right to be heard on all matters that come before the Bankruptcy Court,
and,
I-20
together with a legal representative of future asbestos claimants (whom Grace
expects to be appointed by the Bankruptcy Court in the near future), are likely
to play important roles in the Chapter 11 Cases. The Debtors are required to
bear certain of the committees' and the future asbestos claimants
representative's costs and expenses, including those of their counsel and
financial advisors.
In November 2001, the Debtors' Chapter 11 Cases, as well as the Chapter 11 Cases
of four unrelated companies with asbestos-related claims, were assigned to Judge
Alfred M. Wolin, a senior federal judge who sits in Newark, New Jersey. An
additional asbestos-related Chapter 11 case was assigned to Judge Wolin in March
2002. Judge Wolin will preside over the asbestos bodily injury matters affecting
all six companies and, at his choice, certain other asbestos-related lawsuits
particular to Grace. Judge Judith Fitzgerald, a U.S. Bankruptcy judge from the
Western District of Pennsylvania, sitting in Wilmington, Delaware, will preside
over the Debtors' other bankruptcy matters.
At a hearing on April 22, 2002 the Bankruptcy Court entered an order
establishing a bar date of March 31, 2003 for claims of general unsecured
creditors, asbestos property damage claims and medical monitoring claims related
to asbestos. The bar date does not apply to asbestos-related bodily injury
claims or claims related to Zonolite(R) attic insulation ("ZAI"), which will be
addressed separately. Grace has distributed notices and run media announcements
of the bar date under a program approved by the Bankruptcy Court. Rust
Counseling, the court-approved claims handling agent for the Chapter 11 Cases,
is maintaining a register of all claims filed. As claims are filed, Grace will
be cataloguing and assessing their validity.
In July 2002, the Bankruptcy Court approved special counsel to represent the ZAI
claimants, at the Debtors' expense, in a proceeding to determine certain
threshold scientific issues regarding ZAI. The court set a litigation schedule
that would result in a hearing on these issues in the third quarter of 2003.
The Bankruptcy Court has set a September 30, 2002 trial date to determine
whether the 1998 transaction involving Grace's former packaging business and
Sealed Air Corporation constituted a fraudulent conveyance.
Impact on Debt Capital - All of the Debtor's pre-petition debt is in default due
to the Filing. The accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of June 30, 2002
reflects the classification of the Debtors' pre-petition debt within
"Liabilities subject to compromise."
The Debtors have entered into a debtor-in-possession post-petition loan and
security agreement with Bank of America, N.A. (the "DIP facility") in the
aggregate amount of $250 million. The DIP facility has a term expiring in April
2003 and bears interest under a formula based on the London Inter-Bank Offered
Rate ("LIBOR") plus 2.00 to 2.25 percentage points depending on the level of
loans outstanding.
Accounting Impact - The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements have been
prepared in accordance with Statement of Position 90-7 ("SOP 90-7") "Financial
Reporting by Entities in Reorganization Under the Bankruptcy Code," promulgated
by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. SOP 90-7 requires
that financial statements of debtors-in-possession be prepared on a going
concern basis, which contemplates continuity of operations, realization of
assets and liquidation of liabilities in the ordinary course of business.
However, as a result of the Filing, the realization of certain of Debtors'
assets and liquidation of certain of Debtors' liabilities are subject to
significant uncertainty. While operating as debtors-in-possession, the Debtors
may sell or otherwise dispose of assets and liquidate or settle liabilities for
amounts other than those reflected in the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Further, a plan of reorganization could materially change the amounts and
classifications reported in the Consolidated Financial Statements, which do not
currently give effect to any adjustments to the carrying value or classification
of assets or liabilities that might be necessary as a consequence of a plan of
reorganization.
Pursuant to SOP 90-7, Grace's pre-petition liabilities that are subject to
compromise are required to be reported separately on the balance sheet at an
estimate of the amount that will ultimately be allowed by the Bankruptcy Court.
As of June 30, 2002, such pre-petition liabilities include fixed obligations
(such as debt and contractual commitments) as well as estimates of costs related
to contingent liabilities (such as asbestos-related litigation and other
claims). The recorded amounts of such liabilities generally reflect accounting
measurements as of the Filing Date, adjusted as warranted, for changes in facts
and circumstances and/or rulings under Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings subsequent
to the Filing. (See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for detail
of the
I-21
"Liabilities subject to compromise" as of June 30, 2002, and as of the Filing
Date.) Obligations of Grace subsidiaries not covered by the Filing continue to
be classified on the Consolidated Balance Sheet based upon maturity dates or the
expected dates of payment. SOP 90-7 also requires separate reporting of certain
expenses, realized gains and losses, and provisions for losses related to the
Filing as reorganization items.
During the six-month period ended June 30, 2002, the Debtors recorded Chapter 11
reorganization expenses of $12.8 million.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally
accepted accounting principles requires that management make estimates and
assumptions affecting the assets and liabilities (including contingent assets
and liabilities) reported at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements
and the revenues and expenses reported for the periods presented. Actual amounts
could differ from those estimates. Grace's accounting measurements that are most
affected by management's estimates of future events are:
o Contingent liabilities such as asbestos-related matters, environmental
remediation, tax exposures and retained obligations of divested businesses.
o Pension and postretirement liabilities that depend on assumptions regarding
discount rates and total returns on invested funds.
o Depreciation and amortization periods for long-lived assets including

Set forth below is a chart that lists key operating statistics and percentage
changes for the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 2002 and 2001,
which should be referenced when reading management's discussion and analysis of
the results of continuing operations.
The chart below, as well as the financial information presented throughout this
discussion, divides Grace's financial results between "core operations" and
"noncore activities." Core operations comprise the financial results of Davison
Chemicals, Performance Chemicals and the costs of corporate activities that
directly or indirectly support business operations. In contrast, noncore
activities comprise all other events and transactions not directly related to
the generation of revenue or the support of core operations.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2002
Grace's net sales increased 4.7% to $471.6 million in the three-month period
ended June 30, 2002 compared with the same period in 2001. The second quarter
was favorably impacted by continued strong demand for refining catalysts, and by
revenue from bolt-on acquisitions in catalyst products and construction
chemicals. Acquisitions contributed $13.9 million or 3.0 percentage points of
the sales growth. The impact from foreign currency translation occurred
principally in Latin
I-23
America, where sales, reported in U.S. dollars, were adversely affected by
15.6%. During the quarter, silica products and sealants and coatings experienced
volume increases driven by growth initiatives.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002
Grace's net sales increased 4.6% to $885.1 million during the six-month period
ended June 30, 2002 compared with the same period in 2001. Sales were favorably
impacted by strong demand for refining catalysts, and by revenue from bolt-on
acquisitions in catalyst products, silica products and construction chemicals.
Acquisitions contributed $29.7 million or 3.4 percentage points of the sales
growth. The impact from foreign currency translation occurred primarily in Latin
America, where sales, reported in U.S. dollars, were adversely affected by
11.1%.
During the six months ended June 30, 2002, all product groups experienced volume
growth. Catalyst volumes were strong due to increased hydroprocessing catalyst
sales from the ART joint venture. Silica products sales reflect the addition of
two acquisitions during the first quarter of 2001 and volume increases in
coatings. Construction chemical volume growth in Europe was driven by the
acquisition of Pieri S.A. in July 2001.
PRE-TAX INCOME FROM CORE OPERATIONS
Pre-tax income from core operations comprises the business segment results of
Davison Chemicals and Performance Chemicals offset by corporate operating costs.
Pre-tax income from core operations was $56.6 million for the second quarter of
2002, compared with $57.5 million for the second quarter 2001, a 1.6% decrease.
The profit on added sales in the second quarter of 2002 was offset by $7.4
million in aggregate added costs for facility rationalizations in the
Performance Chemicals segment and higher pension expense due to poor equity
market performance. Pre-tax income from core operations was $90.4 million for
the six months ended June 30, 2002, compared with $86.5 million for the same
period in 2001, a 4.5% increase, driven largely by sales increases.
PRE-TAX INCOME (LOSS) FROM NONCORE ACTIVITIES
Expense from noncore activities totaled $3.1 million for the second quarter of
2002, compared with income of $0.9 million for the prior year period. The
expense from noncore activities included an accrual for legal and environmental
matters, as well as pension and other postretirement benefits for former
employees of divested businesses. These expenses were offset by income from the
Company's life insurance policies. The recorded income in 2001 was also
attributable to life insurance policies partially offset by pension expenses
related to former employees of divested businesses.
Expense from noncore activities totaled $6.0 million for the six months ended
June 30, 2002, compared with income of $8.5 million for the prior year period.
The expense from noncore activities for 2002 included pension and other
postretirement benefits for former employees of divested businesses as well as
an accrual for legal and environmental matters primarily related to Grace's
former operations in Libby, Montana, offset by income from the company's life
insurance policies. Income in 2001 included $7.7 million from the sale of
Grace's remaining interest in Cross Country Staffing and income from the
company's life insurance policies.
REORGANIZATION EXPENSES
Net reorganization expenses of $8.4 million and $12.8 million, for the
three months and six months ended June 30, 2002, consist primarily of legal and
consulting fees incurred by Grace and three creditors' committees related to the
Chapter 11 Filing. Grace believes that reorganization expenses will continue
between $8 to $10 million a quarter for the foreseeable future.
INTEREST AND INCOME TAXES
Net interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2002 was $4.8 million,
a decrease of 59.3% from net interest expense of $11.8 million in 2001. Net
interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $8.8 million, a
decrease of 53.7% from net interest expense of $19.0 million in 2001. These
decreases are attributable to a declining interest rate environment and lower
borrowing levels. Grace is continuing to accrue interest expense on its
pre-petition debt at the pre-petition contractual rate, which amounted to $4.0
million and $7.4 million in the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30,
2002.
Grace's provision for income taxes at the federal corporate rate of 35% was
$26.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2002. The primary difference
between this amount and the overall provision for income taxes of $29.2 million
is attributable to current period interest on tax contingencies and the
non-deductibility of certain Chapter 11 reorganization expenses.
I-24
DAVISON CHEMICALS
Business Description
The Davison Chemicals segment is a leading global supplier of catalyst and
silica products. Catalyst products represented approximately 37% of Grace's 2002
second quarter sales (37% - 2001). This segment includes fluid cracking
catalysts and additives used in petroleum refineries to convert distilled crude
oil into transportation fuels and other petroleum-based products;
hydroprocessing catalysts, which upgrade heavy oils and remove certain
impurities; polyolefin catalysts, which are essential components in the
manufacture of polyethylene and polypropylene used in products such as plastic
film, high-performance plastic pipe and other plastic parts; and chemical
catalysts, which are used in a variety of chemical processes. Silica products,
which represented 14% of Grace's 2002 second quarter sales (15% - 2001), are
used in a wide range of industrial and consumer applications such as coatings,
food processing, plastics, adsorbents, personal care products and biotechnology
separations.
Recent Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
In January 2002, Grace, through its Swedish subsidiary, acquired the catalyst
manufacturing assets of Borealis A/S, which has been integrated into Grace's
global polyolefin catalysts business.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2002
Sales for the Davison Chemicals segment during the three months ended June 30,
2002 were $244.3 million, up 5.0% from the prior year period. Acquisitions
accounted for $4.8 million or 2.0 percentage points of the sales growth.
Operating income was $39.5 million, up 7.0% from the prior year period, and
operating margin of 16.2% was 0.3 percentage points favorable to the prior year
period. Operating income and margins were favorably impacted by lower energy
costs and improved productivity in the second quarter of 2002 compared with the
second quarter of 2001, offset by higher labor and raw material costs.
Sales in North America were up 3.8%, sales in Europe were up 12.9%, sales in
Asia Pacific were down 11.3% and sales in Latin America were up 31.6%. In North
America the increase occurred primarily due to strong demand for refining
catalysts and favorable sales patterns of hydroprocessing catalysts. In Europe,
the increase was driven by added sales of refining catalysts and additives and
silica coatings applications, along with an acquisition in polyolefin catalysts
in the first quarter of 2002. The increase in Latin America was primarily due to
strong refining catalyst environment in the region.
Sales of catalyst products were up 5.8% compared with 2001. This increase
primarily reflected demand for refining catalysts to meet higher gasoline
production and other refinery requirements, as well as a first quarter 2002
acquisition in polyolefin catalysts. Sales of silica products were up 2.9% for
the period primarily from added volume in North America and Europe.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002
Sales for the Davison Chemicals segment during the six months ended June 30,
2002 were $459.7 million, up 6.6% from the prior year period. Acquisitions
accounted for $14.3 million or 3.1 percentage points of the sales growth.
Operating income was $66.4 million, up 8.5% from the prior year period, and
operating margin of 14.4% was 0.2 percentage points favorable to the prior year
period. Operating income was favorably impacted by lower energy costs and
improved productivity, offset by higher labor and raw material costs.
Sales in North America were up 1.8%, sales in Europe were up 14.4%, sales in
Asia Pacific were up 2.4% and sales in Latin America were up 9.1%. In North
America the increase was primarily attributable to order patterns of
hydroprocessing catalysts offset by a decrease in chemical catalysts. In Europe,
the increase was driven by refining catalysts and additives and silica coatings
applications, along with an acquisition in polyolefin catalysts completed in the
first quarter of 2002. The increase in Asia Pacific and Latin America was
primarily due to strong refining catalyst demand in those regions.
Sales of catalyst products were up 6.7% from higher demand for refining
catalysts to meet increased gasoline usage and other refinery requirements,
along with a first quarter 2002 acquisition in polyolefin catalysts. Sales of
silica products were up 6.5% for the period primarily from growth programs in
coatings applications and added volume in Latin America and Europe.
PERFORMANCE CHEMICALS
Business Description
The major product groups of the Performance Chemicals segment are specialty
construction chemicals and specialty building materials, which are used
primarily by the nonresidential construction industry; and container sealants
and coatings for food and beverage packaging, and other related products.
Construction chemicals, which represented 22% of Grace's 2002 second quarter
sales (20% - 2001), add strength, control corrosion, and
I-25
enhance the handling and application of concrete, and reduce the manufacturing
cost and improve the quality of cement. Building materials, which represented
13% of Grace's 2002 second quarter sales (14% - 2001), prevent water damage to
structures and protect structural steel against collapse due to fire. Sealants
and coatings products, which represented 14% of Grace's 2002 second quarter
sales (14% - 2001), are used to seal beverage and food cans, and glass and
plastic bottles, and protect metal packaging from corrosion and the contents
from the influences of metal.
Recent Acquisitions and Joint Ventures
In March 2002, Grace acquired Addiment, Incorporated, a leading supplier of
specialty chemicals to the concrete paver and masonry industries in the U.S. and
Canada which has been integrated into the construction chemicals product line.
Three Months Ended June 30, 2002
Sales for the Performance Chemicals segment for the three months ended June 30,
2002 were $227.3 million, up 4.5% from the prior year period. Acquisitions
accounted for $9.1 million, or 4.2 percentage points of the sales growth.
Operating income was $29.3 million, down 3.9% from $30.5 million in the prior
year period, and operating margin of 12.9% was 1.1 percentage points unfavorable
to the prior year period. Costs associated with facility rationalizations, which
amounted to $4.1 million for transfer and consolidation of certain sites in the
U.S. and England, unfavorably impacted operating income and margins in the
second quarter of 2002 compared with the second quarter of 2001.
Sales in North America were down 2.2%, sales in Europe were up 25.0%, sales in
Asia Pacific were up 4.3% and sales in Latin America were up 9.0%. In North
America the declines occurred primarily in construction chemicals and building
materials reflecting the softness in North American construction activity. In
Europe, strong sales in construction chemicals were attributable to the Pieri
acquisition, while the region continues to experience strong sales for building
materials in both waterproofing and fireproofing along with higher sales of
container sealants. Sales increases in Asia and Latin America are attributable
to volume in construction chemicals, partially offset by small declines in
sealants and coatings.
Sales of construction chemicals were up 11.4% primarily from acquisitions,
offset by reduced commercial construction activity in North America. All other
regions delivered strong increases, reflecting the impact of an acquisition in
Europe, and growth initiatives in key economies worldwide. Sales of building
materials were down 3.7% with lower sales in waterproofing and fireproofing due
to timing of projects and unfavorable weather conditions. Sales of sealants and
coatings were up 2.3% from strong sales of coatings in all regions.
Six Months Ended June 30, 2002
Sales for the Performance Chemicals segment for the six months ended June 30,
2002 were $425.4 million, up 2.5% from the prior year period. Acquisitions
accounted for $15.4 million, or 3.6 percentage points of the sales growth.
Operating income was $48.9 million, up 1.2% from the prior year period, and
operating margin of 11.5% was 0.1 percentage points unfavorable to the prior
year period. Operating margin was reduced by the costs associated with facility
rationalizations.
Sales in North America were down 2.4%, sales in Europe were up 19.3%, sales in
Asia Pacific were down 0.1% and sales in Latin America were up 4.9%. In North
America the declines occurred primarily in construction chemicals and building
materials reflecting the softness in North American construction activity, with
sealants and coatings remaining consistent with prior year. In Europe, added
sales reflect the Pieri acquisition and growth in building materials and
sealants and coatings. Asia Pacific showed declines in building materials and
sealants and coatings products offset by growth in construction chemicals. Latin
American sales were up from higher sales in construction chemicals, partially
offset by small declines in sealants and coatings.
Sales of construction chemicals were up 8.5% driven primarily by acquisitions.
Sales of building materials were down 2.2% with lower sales in waterproofing and
fireproofing due to timing of projects and unfavorable weather conditions. Sales
of sealants and coatings were down 1.1% primarily from the negative effects of
currency translation in Latin America. Excluding the impact of currency
translation, sales were up 4.5% reflecting higher sales in all product groups.
CORPORATE OPERATING COSTS
Corporate operating costs include expenses incurred by corporate headquarters
functions in support of core operations. Corporate operating costs in the second
quarter of 2002 were $12.2 million, compared with $9.9 million in second quarter
2001, a 23.2% increase, caused primarily by an increase in pension expense to
account for the poor performance of the equity markets.
I-26
Corporate operating costs for the six-month period were $24.9 million, compared
with $23.0 million in 2001, an 8.3% increase, also due to added pension costs.
The decline in value of the U.S. and global equity markets coupled with a
decline in interest rates, primarily over the past 12 months, created a
shortfall between accounting measurements of Grace's U.S. salaried qualified
pension obligations and the market value of dedicated pension assets. This
condition required a balance sheet adjustment in shareholders' equity (deficit)
at December 31, 2001 of $124.4 million, and increased Grace's pension expense
charged to core operations by approximately $3.3 million and $6.9 million in the
second quarter and first six months of 2002, respectively.

=============================================================
Grace had a net asset position supporting its core operations of $1,329.4
million at June 30, 2002, compared with $1,299.6 million at December 31, 2001
(including the cumulative translation account reflected in Shareholders' Equity
(Deficit) of $132.2 million for 2002 and $164.7 million for 2001). The increase
in invested capital supporting core operations was due to:
a) An increase of $38.3 million in receivables: $8.5 million was attributable to
currency translation primarily European and Asian receivables reflecting the
weaker dollar; $12.6 million was attributable to higher sales in second quarter
of 2002 versus fourth quarter of 2001, $1.6 million was attributable to
acquisitions, and $15.6 million was attributable to an increase in days sales
outstanding.
b) An increase of $12.2 million in inventory: $5.8 million was attributable to
translation primarily of European and Asian inventories at weaker dollar rates;
and $6.4 million reflected added quantities from acquisitions and from build-up
consistent with Grace's seasonal sales cycle.
c) An increase in property, equipment and intangibles due to currency
translation and capital invested in property and acquisitions.
After-tax return on capital invested in core operations decreased by 0.2
percentage points in the six-month period of 2002, due to a proportionately
higher investment base compared to relatively flat earnings. Net cash flows from
core operations increased primarily from the easing of working capital pressures
that began prior to the Filing. In addition, a 4.5% increase in pre-tax income
from core operations, and lower cash spending on businesses acquired, added to
net cash flow.
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
FINANCIAL CONDITION
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EFFECT OF CHAPTER 11
As described under "Voluntary Bankruptcy Filing" the Company and its principal
U.S. operating subsidiary are debtors-in-possession under Chapter 11 of the
Bankruptcy Code. Grace's non-U.S. subsidiaries, although not part of the Filing,
are owned directly or indirectly by the Company or other filing entities.
Consequently, it is likely that a Chapter 11 reorganization plan will involve
the combined value of Grace's global businesses and its other assets to fund
(with cash and/or securities) Grace's obligations as adjudicated through the
bankruptcy process. Grace has analyzed its cash flow and capital needs to
continue to fund its businesses and believes that, while in Chapter 11,
sufficient cash flow and credit facilities are available to support its business
strategy.
The following sections address Grace's financial condition in more detail and
describe the major contingencies that are being addressed as part of the Chapter
11 process. Grace's ability to present a plan of reorganization to the
Bankruptcy Court depends largely on the timing of resolution of these
contingencies.
NONCORE LIABILITIES AND CONTINGENCIES
Grace has a number of financial exposures originating from past businesses,
products and events. These obligations arose from transactions and/or business
practices that date back to when Grace was a much larger
I-27
company, when it produced products or operated businesses that are no longer
part of its revenue base, and when government regulations and scientific
knowledge were much less advanced than today. The table below summarizes the net
noncore liability at June 30, 2002 and December 31, 2001 and the net cash flow
from noncore activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001:

ACTIVITIES ..................... $(19.6) $(93.2)
===============================================================
As described under "Voluntary Bankruptcy Filing," the resolution of most of
these noncore recorded and contingent liabilities will be determined through the
Chapter 11 proceedings. Grace cannot predict with any certainty how, and for
what amounts, any of such estimates will be resolved. The amounts of these
liabilities as ultimately determined through the Chapter 11 proceedings could be
materially different from amounts recorded by Grace at June 30, 2002.
ASBESTOS-RELATED MATTERS
Grace is a defendant in lawsuits relating to previously sold asbestos-containing
products. Grace had net receipts of $4.4 million and $3.9 million for the
defense and disposition of asbestos-related property damage and bodily injury
litigation, including amounts received under settlements with insurance
carriers, during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2002,
respectively, compared to net receipts of $3.7 million and net expenditures of
$67.7 million, during the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2001,
respectively. At June 30, 2002, Grace's balance sheet reflects a gross liability
of $980.8 million, ($696.9 million net of insurance). This liability represents
management's estimate of the undiscounted net cash outflows in satisfaction of
Grace's current and expected asbestos-related claims, based on facts and
circumstances existing prior to the Filing. Changes to the recorded amount of
such liability will be based on Chapter 11 developments and management's
assessment of the claim amounts that will ultimately be allowed by the
Bankruptcy Court.
The Consolidated Balance Sheet at June 30, 2002 includes total amounts due from
insurance carriers of $283.9 million pursuant to settlement agreements with
insurance carriers. The recovery of amounts due from insurance carriers is
dependent upon the timing, character and exposure periods of asbestos-related
claims. Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings could also affect recovery timing and
amounts.
Grace intends to address all of its pending and future asbestos-related claims
as part of a plan of reorganization under Chapter 11. Grace will seek to have
the Bankruptcy Court establish a process to assess and appropriately quantify
the numerous property damage and bodily injury claims against it. Measurement of
Grace's asbestos-related liabilities will be materially affected by Bankruptcy
Court rulings, the outcome of litigation and negotiations among interested
parties.
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
Grace is subject to loss contingencies resulting from extensive and evolving
federal, state, local and foreign environmental laws and regulations relating to
the generation, storage, handling, discharge and disposition of hazardous wastes
and other materials. At June 30, 2002, Grace's recorded liability for
environmental investigative and remediation costs related to both continuing and
discontinued operations totaled $146.5 million, as compared to $153.1 million at
December 31, 2001. These amounts are based on funding and/or remediation
agreements in place, together with Grace's best estimate of its cost for sites
not subject to a formal remediation plan.
In addition to the sites covered by the recorded liability above, Grace is
facing environmental lawsuits related to previously operated vermiculite mining
and processing sites. These lawsuits allege damages arising out of the presence
of asbestos as a contaminant in vermiculite ore formerly mined by Grace near
Libby, Montana. The EPA reported that it had expended approximately $44.1
million in response costs in and around Libby through December 2001, and has
prepared an amended action plan that could result in total response costs of
$100 million or more, which costs it is seeking to recover from Grace. Grace
I-28
is conducting its own investigation to determine whether the EPA's actions and
cost claims are justified and reasonable. Grace believes, based on preliminary
findings, that certain of the EPA's actions and spending have been unwarranted
and excessive. Upon completion of its investigation, Grace expects that it will
have sufficient information to estimate a probable liability for recovery costs,
which liability could be significant.
The EPA is also evaluating environmental risks at vermiculite processing sites
throughout the U.S. that processed vermiculite from Libby, Montana, and has made
claims against Grace to carry out or fund remediation activities. Grace is
reviewing the EPA's actions and cost claims to determine whether they are
justified and reasonable and, in several instances, has remediated or agreed to
remediate certain sites. Based on Grace's investigation and remediation
activities taken to date, additional costs for remediation of former processing
sites outside of Libby are not expected to be material.
POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS
Grace voluntarily provides certain postretirement health care and life insurance
benefits for retired employees, a large majority of which pertain to retirees of
previously divested businesses. These plans are unfunded, and Grace pays the
costs of benefits under these plans as they are incurred. Spending under this
program during the six months ended June 30, 2002 was $11.2 million. Grace's
recorded liability of $158.6 million at June 30, 2002 is stated at net present
value discounted at 7.25%. The continuing payment of these benefits has been
approved by the Bankruptcy Court, however, the program would still be subject to
the terms of a Chapter 11 reorganization plan.
RETAINED OBLIGATIONS OF DIVESTED BUSINESSES
The principal retained obligations of divested businesses relate to contractual
indemnification and to contingent liabilities not passed on to the new owner. At
June 30, 2002, Grace had recorded $76.6 million to satisfy such obligations.
Prior to Grace's Chapter 11 filing, $43.5 million of this total was expected to
be paid over periods ranging from 2 to 10 years. The remainder represents
estimates of probable cost to satisfy specific contingencies that were expected
to be resolved over the next few years. However, most of these matters are now
subject to the automatic stay of the Bankruptcy Court and will be resolved as
part of Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings. During the second quarter of 2002, Grace
charged $0.5 million against its previously established reserve for payment
under a supporting letter of credit. The continuing obligation of Grace was
reclassified to "other" liabilities subject to compromise as a payable to the
issuing bank.
TAX MATTERS
Grace's federal tax returns covering tax periods from 1993 and forward are
either under examination by the IRS or open for future examination. Grace has
received the IRS examination report on tax periods 1993 through 1996. The most
significant contested issue addressed in such report is discussed in the next
paragraph. Grace believes that previously established reserves for tax matters
will be sufficient to cover the expected net cost of probable tax return
adjustments. Any cash payment to satisfy tax adjustments would be subject to
Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings.
The IRS is challenging the deductions related to interest on loans secured under
corporate owned life insurance ("COLI") policies for years prior to January 1,
1999. In 2000 Grace paid $21.2 million of tax and interest related to this issue
for tax years 1990-1992. Subsequent to 1992, Grace deducted approximately $163.2
million in interest attributable to COLI policy loans. Grace will contest this
and any future IRS assessments on the grounds that these insurance policies and
related loans had, and continue to have, a valid business purpose, that the COLI
policies have economic substance and that interest deductions claimed were in
compliance with tax laws in effect at the time. Grace has requested and received
early referral to the IRS Office of Appeals and expects its case to be heard
within several months. Grace has accrued for potential tax and interest
liability related to the likely challenge of this tax position, and continues to
accrue interest as part of the quarterly tax provision.
The IRS also has assessed additional federal income tax withholding and Federal
Insurance Contributions Act taxes plus interest and related penalties for
calendar years 1993 through 1995 against a Grace subsidiary that formerly
operated a temporary staffing business for nurses and other healthcare
personnel. The assessments, aggregating $21.8 million, were made in connection
with a meal and incidental expense per diem plan for traveling healthcare
personnel that was in effect through 1999. The IRS contends that certain per
diem reimbursements should have been treated as wages subject to employment
taxes and federal income tax withholding. Grace contends that its per diem and
expense allowance plans were in accordance with statutory and regulatory
I-29
requirements, as well as other published guidance from the IRS. Grace expects
that the IRS will make additional assessments for the 1996 through 1999 periods
as well. The matter is currently pending in the U.S. Court of Claims.
Grace has received notification from a foreign taxing authority assessing tax
deficiencies plus interest relating to the purchase and sale of foreign bonds in
1989 and 1990. This assessment, totaling $10.5 million, is related to the
Bekaert Group, which Grace sold in 1991 but as to which Grace retained liability
for tax deficiencies attributable to tax periods prior to the sale. The matter
is currently before the foreign tax authorities, but no decision has been
rendered.
As a result of Grace's Chapter 11 filing, certain tax matters related to open
tax years, including COLI interest deductions, could become the direct
obligations of predecessor companies that now own Grace's former healthcare and
packaging businesses. One or both of these companies could be directly liable to
tax authorities for Grace's tax deficiencies. Pursuant to agreements relating to
each transaction, Grace may be required to indemnify both parties for taxes
relating to periods prior to the closing of such transactions. Any
indemnification obligation that arises as a result of these matters would be
classified as a liability subject to compromise and subject to the Chapter 11
proceedings.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
- --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CASH RESOURCES AND AVAILABLE CREDIT FACILITIES
At June 30, 2002 Grace had $286.1 million in cash and cash-like assets on hand
($199.1 million in cash and cash equivalents and $87.0 million in cash value of
life insurance). In addition, Grace had access to unused, committed credit
facilities aggregating $228.0 million under the DIP facility. Although the DIP
facility is subject to renewal in March 2003, Grace expects that the
availability of credit will continue beyond that date. These funds and credit
facilities are sufficient to finance Grace's business requirements while in
Chapter 11.
CASH FLOW
Grace's net cash flow provided by core operations before investing for the six
months ended June 30, 2002 was $113.1 million, as compared to net cash provided
by core operations of $21.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001.
Acquisitions aggregated $25.0 million in the first six months of 2002 as
compared to $56.5 million in the comparable period of 2001. Total Grace capital
expenditures for the six months ended June 30, 2002 and 2001 were $32.0 million
and $26.8 million, respectively. A substantial portion of these expenditures was
directed towards business segments and was routine in nature. Grace's cash flow
from core operations in 2002 is expected to be relatively stable and consistent
with recent years. Grace expects to continue to invest excess cash flow and/or
other available capital resources in its core business base. These investments
are likely to be in the form of added plant capacity, product line extensions,
and geographic market expansions. Such investments may be subject to Bankruptcy
Court approval and Chapter 11 creditor committee review.
The pre-tax cash outflow for noncore activities for the six months ended June
30, 2002 and 2001 was $19.6 million and $93.2 million, respectively. Decreased
cash outflow in the current year was primarily due to lower asbestos-related
payments in 2002 as compared to 2001. This reduction was the result of an
imposed stay on payments for asbestos-related claims after the Filing Date.
Expenditures for environmental remediation were lower in the first six months of
2002 due in part to Grace's Chapter 11 proceedings and the completion of
remediation work on certain sites. The payments for retained obligations of
divested businesses and other contingencies were lower in the first six months
of 2002 due to the stay of litigation from Chapter 11 and to the "one-time"
nature of these matters.
Cash flows used for investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2002
and 2001 were $59.9 and $72.4 million, respectively. Net cash outflows for
investing activities in the first six months of 2002 consisted primarily of
$25.0 million for acquisitions, $32.0 million for capital expenditures, and net
investment in life insurance policies of $3.6 million. Net cash outflows for
investing activities in the first six months of 2001 consisted of $56.5 million
for acquisitions, $26.8 million for capital expenditures, and net investments in
life insurance policies of $2.1 million. In addition, cash flows from investing
activities in 2001 included $13.0 million in cash proceeds from the sale of
assets.
I-30
Net cash used for financing activities in the six-month period ended June 30,
2002 was $3.5 million as compared with net cash provided by financing activities
of $203.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2001. In the first six
months of 2002, cash outflow principally consisted of net repayments for loans
secured by the cash value of life insurance policies. In the first six months of
2001, cash inflows were composed of $34.9 million in proceeds from loans secured
by the cash value of life insurance policies and $168.4 million in borrowings.
DEBT AND OTHER CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
Total debt outstanding at June 30, 2002 was $539.0 million including $30.6
million of accrued interest. As a result of the Filing, Grace is now in default
on $501.1 million of such debt, which has been included in "Liabilities subject
to compromise" as of June 30, 2002. The automatic stay provided under the
Bankruptcy Code prevents Grace's lenders from taking any action to collect the
principal amounts as well as related accrued interest. However, Grace will
continue to accrue and report interest on such debt during the Chapter 11
proceedings (unless further developments lead management to conclude that it is
probable that such interest will be compromised).
At June 30, 2002, Grace had gross financial assurances outstanding of $239.3
million, consisting of $135.2 million of gross surety bonds issued by various
insurance companies and $104.1 million of standby letters of credit issued by
various banks. Of the standby letters of credit, $19.7 million act as collateral
for surety bonds, thereby reducing Grace's overall obligations under its
financial assurances to a net amount of $219.6 million. These financial
assurances were established for a variety of purposes, including insurance and
environmental matters, asbestos settlements and appeals, trade-related
commitments and other matters. Of the net amount of $219.6 million of financial
assurances, approximately $9.4 million were issued by non-Debtor entities and
$210.2 million were issued by the Debtors. Of the amounts issued by the Debtors,
approximately $196.3 million were issued before the Filing Date, with the
remaining $13.9 million being issued subsequent to the Filing under the DIP
facility.
