We are continuing our selling price initiatives but we are still catching up to the continuing upward trend of raw material costs. The outlook for global demand remains positive and our focus is on keeping our plants running efficiently to meet the market demand.

"With the closing date of the pending acquisition moving later into the first quarter we will provide guidance for full year 2005 with our first quarter earnings release rather than at this point in time."

Lilley continued, "We are entering 2005 with good top line momentum and are closely monitoring raw material availability and cost trends. We have a good business model today and look forward to the acquisition of the Surface Specialties business. We believe the addition of Surface Specialties will create even more opportunities to generate additional shareholder value."

             Reconciliation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Measures

Management believes that net earnings available to common shareholders
and diluted earnings per share before special items, which are
non-GAAP measurements, are meaningful to investors because they
provide a view of the Company with respect to ongoing operating
results. Special items represent significant charges or credits that
are important to an understanding of the Company's overall operating
results in the periods presented. Such non-GAAP measurements are not
recognized in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP) and should not be viewed as an alternative to GAAP measures of
performance.
