REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM |
|
We have audited the accompanying consolidated statements of income, stockholders’ equity and cash flows of RPM International Inc.
and Subsidiaries (the "Company") for the year ended May 31, 2005. These financial statements are the responsibility of the
management of the Company. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).
Those standards 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. 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 audit provides a reasonable
basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, such Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the results of the Company’s operations
and its cash flows for the year ended May 31, 2005, in conformity with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles.
