Grace & Co. Salaried Employees Savings and Investment Plan In our opinion, the accompanying statements of nets assets available for benefits and the related statements of changes in net assets available for benefits appearing on pages F-2 through F-12 of this report present fairly, in all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the W. R. Grace & Co.

These financial statements are the responsibility of the plan administrator; our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits of these statements in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards which require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by the plan administrator, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.

The accompanying notes to financial statements are an integral part of this statement. F-5 W. R. GRACE & CO. SALARIED EMPLOYEES SAVINGS AND INVESTMENT PLAN NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS NOTE 1 - DESCRIPTION OF THE PLAN: The following description of the W. R. Grace & Co. Salaried Employees Savings and Investment Plan ("Plan") provides only general information. Participants should refer to the text of the Plan and the Summary Plan Description for the Plan for more complete information. GENERAL: The Plan is a defined contribution plan originally adopted effective September 1, 1976, and has been amended from time to time. The Plan is subject to certain provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA"). Effective July 1, 1993, The Northern Trust Company was succeeded by Fidelity Management Trust Company as trustee for the Plan. On the same date, Fund B - Equity Fund was terminated and its balance transferred to the Fidelity Blue Chip Growth Fund; Fund D - Diversified Fund was terminated and its balance transferred to the Fidelity Balanced Fund; and three additional Fidelity Funds - Growth and Income, Contrafund, and OTC Portfolio - were also added as investment options under the Plan. ELIGIBILITY AND VESTING: Within those units of W. R. Grace & Co. ("Grace") and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") designated as participating units in the Plan, any salaried employee (or any salesman paid on a commission basis) and any hourly employee in an eligible employment classification who has completed 12 months of employment (including 1,000 hours of service) is eligible to participate in the Plan, subject to certain exceptions and special provisions. A participant's interest in the Plan is always fully vested. CONTRIBUTIONS TO THE PLAN: Plan participants may elect to contribute to the Plan from 2% to 16% of their compensation (which, for purposes of the Plan, consists of salary and/or commissions, incentive compensation, specially granted bonus awards, shift differential and overtime pay). F-6 Participant contributions may be made from before-tax and/or after-tax income, as provided under Sections 401(k) and 401(m) of the Internal Revenue Code, subject to an annual dollar limit on before-tax contributions of $8,994 for 1993 ($8,728 for 1992), which limit is subject to annual adjustment for inflation and to regulations that restrict the contribution percentages of highly compensated participants in order to prevent discrimination in their favor. In addition, federal income tax law limits to $235,840 for 1993 ($228,860 for 1992), subject to annual adjustment for inflation, the annual compensation on which tax-qualified plan benefits may be based. A Company contribution equal to 50% of each participant's contribution will be made to the Plan; however, no Company contribution will be made with respect to a participant's contribution in excess of 6% of his compensation. Therefore, the maximum Company contribution will be 3% of each participant's compensation, subject to the limitations noted above. Participants may elect to have their contributions invested in any of the following funds in which the Plan participates: FIXED INCOME FUND The Fixed Income Fund (formerly Fund A) is invested in fixed income securities or obligations, interest-bearing bank accounts or guaranteed income funds established or maintained by licensed insurance companies. Excess cash may be invested in short-term fixed income securities. GRACE STOCK FUND The Grace Stock Fund (formerly Fund C) is invested in Grace Common Stock. Pending such investment of cash credited to this Fund, this Fund may invest in short-term fixed income securities. FIDELITY MUTUAL FUNDS. The Plan also offers the following five Fidelity Mutual Funds to Plan participants. FIDELITY BALANCED FUND is invested in both fixed income securities and equity securities at all times. FIDELITY GROWTH AND INCOME FUND is invested in equity securities at all times and may be invested in fixed income securities, depending upon market conditions. F-7 FIDELITY BLUE CHIP GROWTH FUND is invested in equity securities of companies with higher than average earnings growth. FIDELITY CONTRAFUND is invested in equity securities of companies generally out of favor with the market that are judged by the Fund's investment manager to be capable of above average growth in value. FIDELITY OTC PORTFOLIO is invested in equity securities of smaller companies traded in the over-the-counter market. At December 31, 1993, the number of participants contributing to the Plan totalled 12,719, as compared with 11,110 at December 31, 1992. Participants contributing to the Fixed Income and Grace Stock Funds for the year ended December 31, 1993, were 11,581 and 3,308, respectively, as compared to 9,534, and 2,550 at December 31, 1992. Participants contributing to the Balanced Fund, the Growth and Income Fund, the Blue Chip Growth Fund, the Contrafund, and the OTC Portfolio for the year ended December 31, 1993, were 4,707, 888, 3,598, 1,512, and 446, respectively. Totals are not additive because some participants invest in more than one Fund. The Plan provides that a statement of each participant's account be sent to the participant at least once a year. Presently, such statements are sent at the end of each calendar quarter. Participants may, on any business day, allocate their future contributions among the Funds and transfer to another Fund the amounts related to their prior contributions to any of the Funds. Transfers may be in whole dollar amounts or in multiples of 5% of the participant's account. Company contributions made after June 30, 1989 are generally credited to the Employee Stock Ownership Plan ("ESOP Fund", formerly Fund E). The ESOP Fund is invested in Grace Common Stock. The ESOP Fund is an Employee Stock Ownership Plan, within the meaning of the Internal Revenue Code. Eligible employees (generally, those age 50 and older) may elect to transfer all or a portion of their Company contributions once each year on any business day from the ESOP Fund to any of the other Funds except the Grace Stock Fund. Such transfers may be in whole dollar amounts or multiples of 5% of the participant's account. F-8 NOTE 2 - SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES: Investments in publicly traded securities are valued at the last reported sales price on the last day of the year. Investments in the Fidelity Mutual Funds are valued at the market prices quoted at year-end, which represent the net asset value of securities held. Investments in commercial paper, U.S. Treasury Bills and U. S. government securities mutual funds are valued at cost which approximates market value. Investments in insurance company contracts are stated at contract value, which represents contributions made under the contract plus interest at the contract rate, less funds used for withdrawals. The assets of the Plan are commingled in the Trust Fund of the W. R. Grace & Co. Profit Sharing and Savings and Investment Plans ("Trust Fund") with the assets of other tax-qualified profit sharing and savings and investment plans maintained by the Company. The Trust Fund is administered by The Fidelity Management Trust Company ("Trustee"). Assets and investment returns are allocated to the plans based upon the proportion of each plan's daily net asset balance to the daily total net asset balances of the Funds. Income of each fund is reinvested in that fund, except that, in the case of the ESOP Fund, the Board of Directors of Grace has directed that dividends paid on shares of Grace Common Stock held in the ESOP Fund are to be paid to participants on a quarterly basis or within 90 days after the end of the calendar year in which the dividends are received. The Trustee manages the Grace Stock Fund and the ESOP Fund by purchasing shares of Grace Common Stock and by selling shares to the extent necessary to obtain cash for disbursements and transfers from the Funds. Investment management of the Fixed Income Fund and investment oversight of the Fidelity Mutual Funds is the responsibility of the Investment Committee appointed by the Grace Board of Directors, except as delegated by that Committee. The Plan recognizes a gain or loss on Grace Common Stock distributed to participants in an amount equal to the difference between the market value at the distribution date and the average cost of the shares of such Common Stock. The cost of securities sold is determined on the basis of average cost, and a gain or loss is recorded equal to the difference between average cost and the proceeds from the sale. Amounts transferred to successor trustees are deducted from the Plan's net assets upon the divestiture of, or discontinuance of participation by, a participating operating unit.

F-12 NOTE 4 - TRANSFER OF ASSETS: In 1993 Grace acquired the all of the the outstanding shares of Grace Energy Corporation ("GEC") in connection with Grace's plan to divest GEC. As a consequence, three defined contribution plans of GEC were terminated and their account balances were transferred to the Plan, as follows: Effective November 1, 1993, account balances of the Grace Offshore Employees Profit Sharing Plan and the HOMCO International Inc. Employees Profit Sharing Investment and Savings Plan were transferred to the Fixed Income Fund of the Plan, with subsequent transfers to the other Funds of the Plan as directed by participants. Effective December 1, 1993, account balances of the GEC Employees Savings and Investment Plan were transferred to the corresponding Funds of the Plan. NOTE 5 - FEDERAL INCOME TAXES: By letter dated November 25, 1985, the Internal Revenue Service stated that the Plan, as then in effect, was in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. The Plan has been amended since receiving this determination letter. However, the Plan's administrator and the Plan's counsel believe that the Plan, as currently in effect, is in compliance with the applicable requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Therefore, they believe the Plan continues to be qualified and the related Trust tax-exempt. Subject to the foregoing, no income taxes are required to be paid by the Plan, and participants are not taxed on Company contributions, before-tax contributions and any earnings or gains from investments attributable to their Plan accounts while such contributions, earnings and gains remain in the Trust. NOTE 6- PLAN TERMINATION: Grace anticipates that the Plan will continue indefinitely, but reserves the right to amend or discontinue the Plan at any time. A participating unit's participation in the Plan may be terminated with approval of Grace's Board of Directors. NOTE 7 - DAILY VALUATION: Effective April 1, 1992, the Plan was amended (a) to provide for the conversion from monthly valuation to daily valuation and (b) to permit participants to elect to have their contributions invested in multiples of 5% and to transfer current account balances on a daily basis in multiples of 5% or in whole dollar amounts.
