NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Thousands of Dollars Unless Otherwise Indicated)Note 1 – Significant AccountingPoliciesConsolidation. The consolidated financial statementsinclude all controlled subsidiaries. Inter-company accountsand transactions have been eliminated.Use of estimates. The preparation of consolidated financialstatements in conformity with accounting principlesgenerally accepted in the United States requires managementto make estimates and assumptions that affect theamounts reported in the consolidated financial statementsand accompanying notes. Actual results could differ fromthose estimates.Nature of operations. The Company is engaged in themanufacture, distribution and sale of coatings and relatedproducts to professional, industrial, commercial and retailcustomers primarily in North and South America.Reportable segments. See Note 16.Cash flows. The Company considers all highly liquidinvestments with a maturity of three months or less whenpurchased to be cash equivalents.Fair value of financial instruments. The following methodsand assumptions were used by the Company in estimatingits fair value disclosures for financial instruments:Cash and cash equivalents: The carrying amountsreported in the consolidated balance sheets for cash andcash equivalents approximate fair value.Short-term investments: The carrying amounts reportedin the consolidated balance sheets for marketable debtand equity securities are based on quoted market pricesand approximate fair value.Investments in securities: The Company maintains certainlong-term investments, classified as available forsale securities, in a fund to provide for payment of healthcare benefits of certain qualified employees. The estimatedfair values of these securities, included in Otherassets, of $10,182, $15,913, and $21,093 at December31, 2001, 2000, and 1999, respectively, are based onquoted market prices.Long-term debt (including current portion): The fair valuesof the Company’s publicly traded debentures, shownbelow, are based on quoted market prices. The fair valuesof the Company’s non-traded debt, also shown below,are estimated using discounted cash flow analyses, basedon the Company’s current incremental borrowing ratesfor similar types of borrowing arrangements. See Note 7for the fair value of interest rate swap contracts.December 31,2001 2000 1999Carrying Fair Carrying Fair Carrying FairAmount Value Amount Value Amount ValuePubliclytradeddebt ........ $603,762 $598,529 $613,709 $592,113 $726,017 $698,031Non-tradeddebt ........ 13,184 12,571 19,886 17,752 15,889 14,792Derivative instruments: The Company adoptedStatement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS)No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments andHedging Activities,” as amended, effective January1, 2001 with no impact on the Company’s results ofoperations, liquidity or financial condition. SFAS No.133 requires all derivative instruments to be recordedas either assets or liabilities at fair value. Gains orlosses resulting from changes in the values of thosederivative instruments may be recognized immediatelyor deferred depending on the use of thederivative or whether it’s designated as a hedge. TheCompany utilizes derivative instruments as part ofits overall financial risk management policy. TheCompany does not use derivative instruments forspeculative or trading purposes. The Companyentered into interest rate swap contracts during 2001primarily to hedge against interest rate risks. See Note7. The Company also entered into option and forwardcurrency exchange contracts in 2001 primarilyto hedge against foreign currency risk exposure. SeeNote 4.Non-traded investments: It was not practicable toestimate the fair value of the Company’s investmentin certain non-traded investments because of the lackof quoted market prices and the inability to estimatefair values without incurring excessive costs. The carryingamounts, included in Other assets, of $13,771,$25,143, and $15,860 at December 31, 2001, 2000,and 1999, respectively, represent the Company’s bestestimate of current economic values of these investments.Investment in life insurance.
