NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS THE VALSPAR CORPORATION * Years Ended October 2001, 2000 and 1999 (Dollars in thousands except per share amounts) NOTE 1 - SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES FISCAL YEAR: The Company has a 4-4-5 accounting cycle with the fiscal year ending on the Friday on or immediately preceding October 31. All years presented include 52 weeks. PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION: The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the parent company and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in which the Company has a 20 to 50 percent interest and where the Company does not have management control are accounted for using the equity method. ESTIMATES: The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. REVENUE RECOGNITION: Other than long-term warranty programs, revenue from sales is recognized upon product shipment and passage of title to the customer. Revenue from long-term warranty programs is recognized based on the ratio of costs incurred to estimated total costs at program completion, using historical claim data. Adjustments in estimated costs are reflected in earnings in the current period. Anticipated losses on programs in progress are charged to earnings when identified. CASH EQUIVALENTS: The Company considers all highly liquid instruments purchased with an original maturity of less than three months to be cash equivalents. INVENTORIES: Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. The Company's domestic inventories are recorded on the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method. The remaining inventories are recorded using the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT: Property, plant and equipment are recorded at cost. Provision for depreciation of property is made by charges to operations at rates calculated to amortize the cost of the property over its useful life (twenty years for buildings; three to ten years for machinery and equipment) primarily using the straight-line method. Effective October 30, 1999, the Company adopted Statement of Position (SOP) 98-1, "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use". INTANGIBLE AND LONG-LIVED ASSETS: Intangible assets, including goodwill, are carried at cost and amortized using the straight-line method over their estimated period of benefit (6 to 40 years). The Company reviews its intangible and long-lived assets for impairment in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 121 (SFAS 121). Under SFAS 121, impairment losses are recorded on long-lived assets used in operations when events and circumstances indicate that the assets might be impaired and the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than the carrying amounts of those assets. STOCK OPTIONS: As permitted by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (SFAS 123), the Company has elected to follow Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting For Stock Issued to Employees" and its interpretations in accounting for its stock options and other stock-based employee compensation awards. Pro forma information regarding net income and earnings per share as calculated under the fair value provisions of SFAS 123 is disclosed in Note 8 to the financial statements. FOREIGN CURRENCY: Foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates in effect at the balance sheet date. Results of operations are translated using the average exchange rates throughout the period. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on translation of assets and liabilities are recorded as a component of stockholders' equity. Gains and losses from foreign currency transactions are included in other (income)/expense, net. NET INCOME PER SHARE: The following table reflects the components of common shares outstanding for each of the three years ended October 26, 2001 in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 128 (SFAS 128): 2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Weighted average common shares outstanding-basic 46,062,459 42,706,168 43,298,367 Dilutive effect of stock options 595,296 489,599 537,212 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Equivalent average common shares outstanding diluted 46,657,755 43,195,767 43,835,579 ================================================================================ Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic earnings per share are based on the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during each year. In computing diluted earnings per share, the number of common shares outstanding is increased by common stock options with PAGE 16 VALSPAR AR 01 exercise prices lower than the average market prices of common shares during each year and reduced by the number of shares assumed to have been purchased with proceeds from the exercised options. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS: All financial instruments are held for purposes other than trading. The estimated fair values of the Company's financial instruments approximate their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet at October 26, 2001. COMPREHENSIVE INCOME: Comprehensive income consists of net income and foreign currency translation adjustment and is presented in the Consolidated Statements of Changes in Stockholders' Equity. NOTE 2 - ACQUISITIONS AND DIVESTITURES Effective July 31, 2001, the Company acquired the Packaging Coatings business of Coates Brothers in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia and Thailand. Revenues for these businesses were $7 million in 2000. This acquisition significantly strengthens the Company's presence in the Southeast Asia packaging coatings market. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the net assets and operating results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The effect of this transaction on the Company's results of operations for 2001 was not material. Effective December 20, 2000, the Company acquired all outstanding Class A and Class B stock of Lilly Industries, Inc. for $31.75 per share in cash. Total consideration paid was approximately $1,036 million, including the assumption of debt of approximately $218 million. Lilly Industries was one of the five largest industrial coatings and specialty chemicals manufacturers in North America, with reported net sales of $656.2 million for the year ended November 30, 1999, and $669.7 for the year ended November 30, 2000. Lilly Industries formulates, manufactures and markets industrial coatings and specialty chemicals to original equipment manufacturers for products such as home and office furniture, cabinets, appliances, building products, transportation, and agricultural and construction equipment. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the net assets and operating results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as goodwill, and prior to the adoption of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, is being amortized over the estimated period of benefit. The following unaudited pro forma combined summary statements of income information for the twelve month periods ended October 26, 2001 and October 27, 2000 were prepared in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 16 and assumes the acquisition had occurred at the beginning of the periods presented. The following pro forma data reflect adjustments for interest expense, amortization of goodwill and depreciation of fixed assets. The unaudited pro forma financial information is provided for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of the future results of the Company. UNAUDITED PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED STATEMENTS OF INCOME (Thousands of dollars, except per share data) YEAR ENDED YEAR ENDED OCTOBER 26, 2001 OCTOBER 27, 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Net sales $ 2,018,468 $ 2,153,019 Net income 45,420 57,275 Net income per share-basic .99 1.34 Net income per share-diluted .97 1.33 During the first quarter of fiscal 2001, the Company completed the sale of its existing Mirror Coatings business as a condition of Federal Trade Commission approval for the Lilly Industries acquisition. This product line had revenues of approximately $12 million for the year ended October 27, 2000. The effect of this divestiture on the Company's results of operations for 2001 was not material. In November 2000, the Company acquired the 49% interest in The Valspar (Mexico) Corporation, S.A. de C.V. held by its joint venture partner. The Valspar (Mexico) Corporation has operations in Mexico City and Monterrey and produces Industrial and Packaging coatings. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the net assets and operating results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The effect of this transaction on the Company's results of operations for 2001 was not material. In December 1997, as a part of the Coates acquisition, the Company acquired a 49% interest in a joint venture with Coates for packaging coatings in South Africa. In February 1999, as a part of the Dexter acquisition, the Company acquired Dexter's majority position in a joint venture with Plascon (Pty) Limited, a South African company, for packaging coatings in South Africa. As of October 2000, the Company acquired Coates' 51% interest in the Valspar/Coates joint venture and reorganized the businesses of both South African joint ventures so that Valspar now has a majority position in a joint venture with Plascon for a combined packaging coatings business in South Africa. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the net assets and operating results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The effect of this transaction on the Company's results of operations for 2000 was not material. Effective September 30, 1999, the Company acquired the 50% interest in Farboil Company held by its joint venture partner. Farboil Company, located in Baltimore, Maryland, produces decorative powder coatings with annual revenues in 1999 of $17 million. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the net assets and operating VALSPAR AR 01 PAGE 17 results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Effective February 26, 1999, the Company acquired Dexter Corporation's worldwide packaging coatings business and its French industrial coatings subsidiary, Dexter SAS. Dexter is a worldwide supplier of beverage can, food can and specialty coatings to the packaging market. Dexter SAS supplies a variety of coatings to the European industrial market. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the net assets and operating results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the estimated fair value of the net assets acquired has been recorded as good will and is being amortized over the estimated period of benefit. Effective December 17, 1998, the Company acquired a majority interest in Dyflex B.V., a Netherlands based producer of specialty water-based polymers. The transaction was accounted for as a purchase. Accordingly, the net assets and operating results have been included in the Company's financial statements from the date of acquisition. Effective March 26 and April 20,1999, the Company completed the sale of its Marine and Flexible Packaging Coatings product lines. These product lines had revenues of $25 million and $12 million, respectively, for the year ended October 1998. NOTE 3 - RESTRUCTURING In September 2001, the Company's Board of Directors approved and the Company initiated actions to eliminate redundant facilities and functions resulting from the Lilly Industries acquisition in order to accelerate performance improvement. These actions resulted in the Company recording aggregate pre-tax charges of $39,300. The charges include $21,930 classified as restructuring and $17,370 of inventory and other asset write-downs classified in cost of sales. Through October 26, 2001, the Company has paid or incurred $21,678 of the $39,300 charge. The Company anticipates that substantially all of the remaining restructuring costs will be paid by October 25, 2002. INCURRED THROUGH BALANCE TOTAL OCTOBER OCTOBER CHARGE 26, 2001 26, 2001 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Severance costs $ 8,384 $ 888 $ 7,496 Exit and termination costs 2,049 115 1,934 Property, plant and equipment 11,497 7,733 3,764 Inventory and other assets 17,370 12,942 4,428 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $39,300 $21,678 $17,622 ================================================================================ These plans contemplated a workforce reduction of worldwide headcount by 350 or five percent. As of October 26, 2001 the Company had communicated the benefits due to employees resulting from the workforce reduction. The net cash impact of the charges over the next two years will be negligible. During 1999, the Company initiated actions to eliminate redundant facilities and functions resulting from the acquired Dexter packaging coatings operations, resulting in a pre-tax restructuring charge of $8,346. During 2000, accruals in the amount of $1,200 were reversed related to lower than estimated costs. NOTE 4 - INVENTORIES The major classes of inventories consist of the following: 2001 2000 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Manufactured products $114,967 $108,225 Raw materials, supplies and work-in-process 70,598 46,662 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- $185,565 $154,887 ================================================================================ Inventories stated at cost determined by the last-in, first-out (LIFO) method aggregate $128,450 at October 26, 2001 and $108,031 at October 27, 2000, approximately $28,530 and $27,335 lower, respectively, than such costs determined under the first-in, first-out (FIFO) method.

Under other short-term bank lines of credit around the world, the Company may borrow up to $118,673 on such terms as the Company and the banks may mutually agree. These arrangements are reviewed periodically for renewal and modification. Borrowings under these debt arrangements, including the revolver, had an average annual interest rate of 6.37% in 2001 and 6.06% in 2000. The Company had unused lines of credit under short-term bank lines and the revolving credit facility of $688,429 at October 26, 2001, which was reduced by $350 million in November 2001.

The total of undistributed earnings that would be subject to federal income tax if remitted under existing law is approximately $84,931 at October 26, 2001. Determination of the unrecognized deferred tax liability related to these earnings is not practicable because of the complexities with its hypothetical calculation. Upon distribution of these earnings, the Company will be subject to U.S. taxes and withholding taxes payable to various foreign governments. A credit for foreign taxes already paid would be available to reduce the U.S. tax liability. Income taxes paid during 2001, 2000 and 1999 were $21,292, $51,669 and $45,749, respectively. NOTE 8 - STOCK PLANS Stock Options: Under the Company's Stock Option Plan, options for the purchase of up to 8,000,000 shares of common stock may be granted to officers, employees and non-employee directors. Options are issued at market value at the date of grant and are exercisable in full or in part over a prescribed period of time. As permitted by SFAS 123, the Company has elected to continue following the guidance of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25, "Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees" for measurement and recognition of stock-based transactions with employees. Accordingly, no compensation expense has been recorded for options granted under the stock option plan as the exercise price equals or exceeds the market price of the underlying stock on the date of grant. Had compensation expense for the stock option plan been determined based on the fair value at the date of grant, consistent with the provisions of SFAS 123, the Company's net income and earnings per share would have been reported as follows: 2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pro forma net income $45,325 $ 79,406 $ 80,974 Pro forma earnings per share: Basic .98 1.86 1.87 Diluted .97 1.84 1.85 The fair value of each option grant is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions: 2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Expected dividend yield 1.5% 1.5% 1.5% Expected stock price volatility 29.8% 27.9% 22.2% Risk-free interest rate 4.2% 5.5% 6.2% Expected life of options 6 years 6 years 6 years The weighted average fair value for options granted during 2001, 2000 and 1999 is $11.05, $10.83, and $8.71 per share, respectively. Stock option activity for the three years ended October 26, 2001 is summarized as follows: WEIGHTED AVERAGE SHARES OPTIONS EXERCISE RESERVED OUTSTANDING PRICE -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 30, 1998 Balance 1,691,481 1,600,368 $ 22.70 Shares reserved 2,250,000 -- -- Granted (706,500) 706,500 $ 35.02 Exercised (50,007) $ 22.40 Canceled 28,466 (28,466) $ 32.24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 29, 1999 Balance 3,263,447 2,228,395 $ 26.49 Shares reserved -- -- -- Granted (1,444,172) 1,444,172 $ 33.32 Exercised -- (84,893) $ 22.86 Canceled 68,192 (68,192) $ 37.24 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 27, 2000 Balance 1,887,467 3,519,482 $ 29.47 Shares reserved 3,010,000 -- -- Granted (2,428,825) 2,428,825 $ 32.16 Exercised -- (130,364) $ 20.94 Canceled 163,554 (163,554) $ 35.92 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- October 26, 2001 2,632,196 5,654,389 $ 30.64 ================================================================================ Options outstanding at October 26, 2001 had an average remaining contractual life of 7.86 years. Options exercisable of 2,395,331 at October 26, 2001, 1,911,232 at October 27, 2000, and 939,257 at October 29, 1999 had weighted average exercise prices of $26.32, $23.20, and $19.61, respectively. The exercise price for options outstanding as of October 26, 2001 range from $12.00 to $40.31, with 1,372,214 shares outstanding in the $12.00 - $25.00 range and 4,282,175 shares outstanding in the $25.00 - $40.31 range. EMPLOYEE STOCK OWNERSHIP PLANS: Under the Company's Employee Stock Ownership Plans, substantially all of the Company's domestic employees are eligible to participate and may contribute 1% to 9% of their compensation to the Plans. The Company contributes a minimum amount equal to one-half of the employee contributions up to 3% of employees' compensation, with the potential to match up to 6% based upon the financial performance of the Company. The Company's contributions were $4,328, $3,314 and $5,307, for 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. PAGE 20 VALSPAR AR 01 KEY EMPLOYEE BONUS PLAN: In 1993, the Company established a Key Employee Bonus Plan for certain employees. Under the Plan, participants can elect to convert all or any portion of the cash bonus awarded under certain incentive bonus plans into a grant of restricted stock receivable three years from the date of grant. NOTE 9 - LEASING ARRANGEMENTS The Company has operating lease commitments outstanding at October 26, 2001, for plant and warehouse equipment, office and warehouse space, and automobiles. The leases have initial periods ranging from one to ten years, with minimum future rental payments as follows: MINIMUM LEASE PAYMENTS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 2002 $ 8,533 2003 6,595 2004 3,867 2005 1,045 2006 838 2007 and beyond 2,373 ================================================================================ $23,251 Rent expense for operating leases was $12,408 in 2001, $6,426 in 2000 and $6,338 in 1999. NOTE 10 - PENSIONS AND OTHER POSTRETIREMENT BENEFITS The Company sponsors a Profit Sharing Plan for substantially all of its domestic employees. Under the Plan, the Company makes a contribution based on return on assets as defined in the Plan up to a maximum of 10% of the aggregate compensation of eligible participants. Contributions to the Profit Sharing Plan totaled $9,264, $10,657, and $9,869, for 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively. The Company also sponsors a number of defined benefit pension plans for certain hourly and foreign employees. The benefits for these plans are generally based on stated amounts for each year of service. The Company funds the plans in amounts consistent with the limits of allowable tax deductions. The Company assumed the liabilities and assets under the Lilly pension plan for employees eligible as of the date of acquisition. The cost of the pension benefits is as follows: NET PERIODIC COST 2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Service cost $ 1,837 $ 1,185 $ 1,158 Interest cost 7,861 2,328 2,016 Expected return on plan assets (12,774) (3,818) (3,059) Amortization of transition asset obligation (301) (91) (92) Amortization of prior service cost 817 343 367 Recognized actuarial gain (409) (406) (292) ================================================================================ Net-periodic benefit cost (2,969) (459) 98 Settlement gain -- (787) -- Net-periodic benefit cost after settlement $ (2,969) $(1,246) $ 98 The plans' funded status is shown below, along with a description of how the status changed during the past two years. The benefit obligation is the projected benefit obligation--the actuarial present value as of a date of all benefits attributed by the pension benefit formula to employee service rendered prior to that date.

The Company's policy is to fund these benefits as they are paid. The Company's accrued post-retirement benefit liability recognized in the Company's balance sheet was $5,331 and $1,607 at October 26, 2001 and October 27, 2000, respectively. Net periodic post-retirement expense was $487, $150 and $95 in 2001, 2000 and 1999, respectively. The weighted-average discount rate used in determining the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was 7.0% and 7.5% at October 26, 2001 and October 27, 2000, respectively. The assumed health-care cost trend rate used in measuring the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation was 6.5% in 2001, then declining by .5% per year to an ultimate rate of 5.5%. A 1% change in the cost trend rate would not have a material effect on the accumulated post-retirement benefit obligation or net periodic post-retirement expense. NOTE 11 - SEGMENT INFORMATION Prior to the Lilly Industries acquisition, the Company had two reportable segments: coatings and coating intermediates. Following the acquisition, the Company included the former Lilly Industries operations in its coatings segment, and the coating intermediates segment no longer meets the quantitative criteria for separate reporting. The Company now refers to these products as Other. The Company now operates its business in one reportable segment: Coatings. The Company manufactures and distributes a broad portfolio of coatings products. The Industrial product line includes decorative and protective coatings for wood, metal, plastic, and glass. The Architectural, Automotive, and Specialty (AAS) product line includes interior and exterior decorative paints, primers, varnishes and specialty decorative products, such as enamels, aerosols and faux finishes, as well as automotive refinish and high performance floor coatings. The Packaging product line includes coatings and inks for rigid packaging containers. The Other category includes specialty polymers and colorants, which are used internally and sold to other coatings manufacturers. Net sales by product line are as follows: 2001 2000 1999 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Industrial $ 739,479 $ 372,142 $ 328,669 AAS 558,262 505,087 510,960 Packaging 494,146 508,536 452,846 Other 129,083 97,555 95,202 ================================================================================ $1,920,970 $1,483,320 $1,387,677 Geographic net sales are based on the country from which the customer was billed for the products sold.

The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. In June 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141 (SFAS 141), "Business Combinations" and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142 (SFAS 142) "Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets," effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2001. Under the new rules, goodwill and intangibles deemed to have indefinite lives will no longer be amortized but will be subject to annual impairment tests in accordance with the Statements. Other intangible assets will continue to be amortized over their useful lives. The Company will early adopt these Statements effective October 27, 2001. Application of the non-amortization provisions of the Statement is expected to result in an annual increase of earnings of approximately $.35 per share. The Company will perform the first of the required tests for impairment of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets as of the beginning of Fiscal 2002 and will complete the initial impairment test by the end of the second quarter of 2002. Effective October 28, 2000, the Company adopted Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 133 (SFAS 133), "Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities." The Company has developed procedures and policies for the use of derivative instruments and hedging strategies. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated results of operations, financial position or cash flows. VALSPAR AR 01 PAGE 23 REPORT OF ERNST & YOUNG LLP, INDEPENDENT AUDITORS BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS THE VALSPAR CORPORATION We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of The Valspar Corporation and subsidiaries as of October 26, 2001 and October 27, 2000 and the related consolidated statements of income, changes in stockholders' equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 26, 2001. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Corporation's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of The Valspar Corporation and subsidiaries at October 26, 2001 and October 27, 2000 and the consolidated results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended October 26, 2001, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. /s/ Ernst & Young LLP Minneapolis, Minnesota November 16, 2001 REPORT OF MANAGEMENT BOARD OF DIRECTORS AND STOCKHOLDERS THE VALSPAR CORPORATION The management of The Valspar Corporation is responsible for the integrity and objectivity of the financial statements and related information presented in this report. The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. Where necessary, they reflect estimates based on management's judgment. Management relies upon established accounting procedures and related systems of internal control for meeting its responsibilities to maintain reliable financial records. These systems are designed to provide reasonable assurance that assets are safeguarded and that transactions are recorded and executed in accordance with management's intentions. This system is supported by written policies and procedures, an effective internal audit function and qualified financial staff. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors, composed of outside directors, meets regularly with management, the Company's internal auditors and its independent auditors to discuss the adequacy and effectiveness of audit functions, control systems and the quality of financial accounting and reporting. The independent and internal auditors have access to the Audit Committee without management's presence. /s/ Richard M. Rampala Richard M.
