   Notes due 2008;  and (iv) $275 million of 7-5/8%  Senior Notes due 2010.  The
   Company used the net proceeds of these offerings (approximately $963 million,
   net of  underwriting  discounts and interest rate hedge costs) to redeem,  on
   June 1, 1998 (the  "Redemption"),  its 10-1/2% Senior  Subordinated  Discount
   Debentures due 2005 and 9-7/8% Senior  Subordinated Notes due 2001. The total
   amount required to complete the Redemption,  including  redemption  premiums,
   was $954  million,  net of the  effect  of the  settlement  of  certain  swap
   transactions related to the Senior Subordinated Discount Debentures.  Pending
   the Redemption,  the net proceeds of the offerings were applied to the extent
   possible to reduce  borrowings  under the revolving  portion of the Company's
   $1.75 billion bank credit  agreement  (the "1997 Credit  Agreement")  and the
   excess was invested in short-term securities. The Redemption was funded using
   approximately $200 million of such short-term  securities and $750 million of
   borrowings  under the revolving  portion of the 1997 Credit  Agreement.  As a
   result  of  the   Redemption,   the  second   quarter  of  1998  included  an
   extraordinary  charge of approximately $50 million,  net of taxes, related to
   the Redemption, including call premiums and the write-off of unamortized debt
   issuance costs.

   Note 2.  Comprehensive Income

   In the first  quarter of 1998,  the Company  adopted  Statement  of Financial
   Accounting   Standards  No.  130,  Reporting   Comprehensive   Income.  Total
   comprehensive   income,   consisting  of  net  income  and  foreign  currency
   translation  effects, for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1998
   and  1997  was $23  million,  $72  million,  $93  million  and  $49  million,
   respectively.

   Note 3.  Tax Matters

   As described in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated  Financial  Statements in the
   Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1997,
   there are  pending  German tax issues for the years 1984  through  1990.  See
   "Management's  Discussion and Analysis of Financial  Condition and Results of
   Operations -- Liquidity and Capital Resources."

   Note 4.  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

   In June 1998, the Financial  Accounting  Standards Board issued Statement No.
   133, Accounting for Derivative  Instruments and Hedging Activities,  which is
   required to be adopted in years  beginning after June 15, 1999. The Company's
   use of derivatives  is minimal,  and therefore  management  believes that the
   adoption of the new Statement will not have a significant  effect on earnings
   or the financial position of the Company.

     Results of Operations  for the Second  Quarter and First Six Months of 1998
Compared with the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 1997

         The  Company  achieved  record  sales in the second  quarter of 1998 of
$1,795  million,  an  increase  of  $206  million,  or 13%  (16%  excluding  the
unfavorable  effects of foreign  exchange),  from  $1,589  million in the second
quarter of 1997.  Sales  increased  13% for Air  Conditioning  Products,  5% for
Plumbing Products and 15% for Automotive Products,  and included $25 million for
the new Medical Systems segment.

         Operating  income for the  second  quarter of 1998 was also a record at
$202 million, an increase of $24 million, or 13% (17%% excluding the unfavorable
effects of foreign  exchange),  from $178 million in the second quarter of 1997.
Operating income increased 12% for Air Conditioning Products, 35% for Automotive
Products  and was flat for Plumbing  Products.  The  operating  loss for Medical
Systems was $5 million in the second  quarter of 1998 compared with a $4 million
loss in the 1997 quarter.

         Sales for the first half of 1998 were  $3,288  million,  an increase of
$338  million,  or  11%  (15%  excluding  the  unfavorable  effects  of  foreign
exchange),  from $2,950 million in the first half of 1997.  Sales  increased 10%
for Air Conditioning  Products,  5% for Plumbing Products and 15% for Automotive
Products, and included $50 million of sales for the new Medical Systems segment.
Operating income was $327 million for the first half of 1998, an increase of 10%
(15% excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange),  compared with $297
million  in the  first  half of  1997.  Operating  income  increased  7% for Air
Conditioning  Products  and 33% for  Automotive  Products  but  declined  5% for
Plumbing Products. The operating loss for Medical Systems was $9 million for the
first  half of 1998  compared  with a loss of $8  million  for the first half of
1997.

         Sales of Air  Conditioning  Products  increased 13% (15%  excluding the
unfavorable  effects  of  foreign  exchange)  to $1,112  million  for the second
quarter of 1998,  from $983 million for the second quarter of 1997.  These gains
reflected  a 17%  increase in the U.S.,  resulting  from  continued  strength in
commercial  businesses  and  expanding  sales and service  operations,  and a 9%
increase in international  operations  (excluding  unfavorable  foreign exchange
effects),  due to strong growth in Latin  America and modest  growth  elsewhere.
Sales of applied and unitary  commercial  products in the U.S. increased because
of improved markets. U.S. residential product sales surged 24% due to the effect
of hot  weather on the  replacement  market as well as strong new  construction.
International sales for the second quarter of 1998 increased principally because
of higher volumes in Latin America,  the Far East and Middle East. Sales for Air
Conditioning Products for the first half of 1998 increased by 10% (12% excluding
foreign  exchange  effects) to $1,950  million from $1,765  million in the first
half of 1997,  primarily for the reasons cited for the second quarter  increase,
offset somewhat by the adverse  effects of a four-week  strike at the Lexington,
Kentucky, air handling facility in the first quarter of 1998.

         Operating  income  of Air  Conditioning  Products  increased  12%  (14%
excluding the  unfavorable  effects of foreign  exchange) to $132 million in the
second  quarter  of 1998  from  $118  million  in the  1997  quarter,  primarily
reflecting higher  residential and commercial  product volumes in the U.S. Those
gains were partly offset by lower operating income for international operations,
reflecting  lower margins in Europe and the Far East.  Operating  income for the
first half of 1998  increased  7% (8%  excluding  unfavorable  foreign  exchange
effects)  to  $200  million  from  $187  million  in the  first  half  of  1997,
essentially for the reasons  mentioned for the second quarter  increase,  offset
partly by the effects of the strike at Lexington in the first quarter.
<PAGE>

         Sales of Plumbing Products  increased 5% (10% excluding the unfavorable
effects of foreign exchange) to $384 million in the second quarter of 1998, from
$367 million in the second quarter of 1997.  Sales increased 13% in the U.S. and
8% in  international  operations  excluding the  unfavorable  effects of foreign
exchange.  Sales in the U.S.  increased as a result of higher volume,  primarily
through expanding major retailers,  and gains in market share. The international
sales increase  resulted  primarily from increased volume in Latin America where
markets were strong, and from the effect of including results from operations in
China on a  consolidated  basis since the fourth  quarter of 1997  following the
acquisition of a majority interest. The gain in international sales was achieved
despite lower sales in the Far East (excluding China) as a result of the adverse
economic  conditions in that area. Sales of Plumbing Products for the first half
of 1998 increased 5% (11% excluding the unfavorable effects of foreign exchange)
to $742 million from $710 million in the first half of 1997.  This  increase was
due principally to the same factors affecting second quarter results.

         Operating  income of  Plumbing  Products  was $33 million in the second
quarter of 1998,  the same level as the second quarter of 1997, but increased 6%
excluding the unfavorable  effects of foreign exchange.  In the U.S.,  operating
income  improved  because of higher  sales and benefits of  lower-cost  products
manufactured at the Company's Mexican facilities.  For international operations,
operating income increased  primarily  because of higher volume in Latin America
and the effect of consolidating the China plumbing  operations,  which more than
offset the  effects of economic  weakness in the rest of Asia and interim  costs
associated with implementing the low-cost sourcing program in Europe.  Operating
income for the first half of 1998 was $52 million  compared  with $55 million in
the first  half of 1997,  but  increased  by 6%  excluding  unfavorable  foreign
exchange effects.  The  exchange-adjusted  increase  resulted  primarily for the
reasons mentioned for the second quarter.

         Sales of Automotive  Products for the second  quarter of 1998 increased
15% (19% excluding the unfavorable  effects of foreign exchange) to $274 million
from  $239  million  in the  second  quarter  of 1997.  This  increase  resulted
primarily  from higher  volume,  as unit volume of truck and bus  production  in
Western Europe increased 12% over the second quarter of 1997. In addition, sales
increased   because  of  higher  product   content  per  vehicle  on  new  model
introductions  launched in 1997 and  increased  shipments of  anti-lock  braking
systems (ABS) to the Company's U.S. marketing joint venture. The increased sales
in the U.S.  reflected  the  phase-in of  regulations  requiring  ABS on all new
heavy-duty trucks and trailers,  together with an increased level of heavy truck
production.  Sales of Automotive  Products for the first half of 1998  increased
15% (21% excluding the unfavorable  effects of foreign exchange) to $546 million
from $475 million in the first half of 1997, primarily for the reasons cited for
the second quarter.

         Operating income for Automotive Products for the second quarter of 1998
was $42 million,  an increase of 35% (45% excluding the  unfavorable  effects of
foreign exchange) from $31 million in the second quarter of 1997. This reflected
the  higher  sales  and  improved  margins  due  to  productivity  improvements.
Operating  income  for  Automotive  Products  for the first half of 1998 was $84
million,  an increase of 33% (42% excluding the  unfavorable  effects of foreign
exchange)  from $63 million in the first half of 1997  principally  for the same
reasons cited for the second quarter of 1998.

         Medical  Systems sales were $25 million in the second  quarter of 1998,
reflecting  the  acquisition  of the  diagnostic  business  in  June  1997.  The
operating  loss was $5 million in the second  quarter of 1998 compared with a $4
million  loss in the  1997  quarter,  reflecting  development  costs,  including
efforts to obtain U.S.  and  European  regulatory  approvals  of new  diagnostic
products and tests.
<PAGE>

         Equity in net income of unconsolidated  joint ventures  increased to $6
million in the second  quarter of 1998 from $3 million in the second  quarter of
1997,  reflecting  the strong growth of Automotive  Products' U.S. joint venture
and increased earnings from the Company's financing joint venture established in
1996.


Financial Review

         Interest  expense  increased  $4 million in the second  quarter of 1998
compared to the year-earlier quarter principally due to debt incurred to finance
1997 share repurchases and the acquisition of the medical  diagnostic  business.
The  $6  million   increase  in  corporate  and  other   expenses  is  primarily
attributable to reduced exchange gains in hyperinflationary countries, increased
discount fees  associated with U.S.  customer  inventory  financing  through the
Company's  financial  services joint venture and an EPA settlement  related to a
discontinued operation.

         The  income  tax  provision  for the  second  quarter  of 1998  was $53
million,  or 40.5% of pretax income compared with a provision of $40 million, or
35.5% of pretax income in the second  quarter of 1997.  The lower  effective tax
rate in 1997 resulted from the  utilization of certain  previously  unrecognized
tax benefits. No similar benefits are available in 1998.

         On June 1, 1998, the Company  redeemed its 10-1/2% Senior  Subordinated
Discount  Debentures and its 9-7/8% Senior  Subordinated Notes with the proceeds
of offerings of $1 billion  principal amount of Senior Notes as described below.
As a  result  of  this  redemption,  the  second  quarter  of 1998  included  an
extraordinary charge of $50 million,  net of income taxes,  attributable to call
premiums and the  write-off  of  unamortized  debt  issuance  costs.  The second
quarter of 1997 also  included an  extraordinary  charge of $15 million,  net of
income  taxes,  related  to the  redemption  of  the  Company's  11-3/8%  Senior
Debentures.


Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash provided by operating activities,  after cash interest paid of
$53 million,  was $167 million for the first six months of 1998,  compared  with
net cash provided of $68 million for the similar period of 1997. The $99 million
increase resulted primarily from improved net working capital.  The Company made
capital  expenditures of $107 million for the first half of 1998,  including $10
million  of   investments  in  affiliated   companies,   compared  with  capital
expenditures  of $95 million in the first half of 1997,  including $1 million of
investments in affiliated  companies  (excluding the  acquisition of the medical
diagnostic business).


         In the first  quarter  and early April of 1998,  the Company  completed
public  offerings  of $1 billion  principal  amount of senior  debt  securities,
including:  (i) $125 million of 7-1/8% Senior Notes due 2003;  (ii) $250 million
of 7-3/8%  Senior Notes due 2005;  (iii) $350 million of 7-3/8% Senior Notes due
2008;  and (iv) $275 million of 7-5/8%  Senior Notes due 2010.  The Company used
the  net  proceeds  of  these  offerings  (approximately  $963  million,  net of
underwriting  discounts and interest rate hedge costs) to effect the Redemption,
on June 1, 1998, of its 10-1/2% Senior Subordinated Discount Debentures due 2005
and 9-7/8%  Senior  Subordinated  Notes due 2001.  The total amount  required to
complete the Redemption, including redemption premiums, was $954 million, net of
the effect of the settlement of certain swap transactions  related to the Senior
Subordinated  Discount Debentures.  Pending the Redemption,  the net proceeds of
the offerings were applied to the extent possible to reduce borrowings under the
revolving  portion of the Company's $1.75 billion 1997 Credit  Agreement and the
excess was invested in short-term  securities.  The  Redemption was funded using
approximately  $200 million of such  short-term  securities  and $750 million of
<PAGE>

borrowings  under  the  revolving  portion  of the  1997  Credit  Agreement.  In
accordance  with  the  terms  of  the  10-1/2%  Senior   Subordinated   Discount
Debentures,  on June 1, 1998,  interest  on the  debentures  would  have  become
payable in cash. As a result of the  Redemption,  the Company  expects to reduce
its total annual cash interest payments by approximately $24 million compared to
the amount that would  otherwise  have been payable and to reduce its annual net
interest expense by approximately $20 million before taxes.

         In January  1997 the Company  entered  into the 1997 Credit  Agreement.
This agreement, which requires no repayment of principal prior to its expiration
in 2002, provides the Company with senior secured credit facilities  aggregating
$1.75  billion as follows:  (a) a $750  million  U.S.  dollar  revolving  credit
facility  and a $625  million  multi-currency  revolving  credit  facility  (the
"Revolving  Facilities"),  which by their nature are short-term,  and (b) a $375
million  multi-currency  periodic access credit facility.  Up to $500 million of
the Revolving Facilities may be used to issue letters of credit. The 1997 Credit
Agreement and certain other  American  Standard  Inc. debt  instruments  contain
restrictive  covenants and other requirements with which the Company believes it
is currently in compliance.

         At  June  30,  1998,   the  Company  had  borrowings  of  $555  million
outstanding  under the Revolving  Facilities.  There was $760 million  available
under the  Revolving  Facilities  after  reduction  for  borrowings  and for $60
million of letters of credit usage. The Company's  foreign  subsidiaries had $73
million  available  at June 30, 1998,  under  overdraft  facilities  that can be
withdrawn by the banks at any time.  In addition,  the  Company's  operations in
China have $34 million  available under bank credit  facilities  after reduction
for borrowings of $8 million and letters of credit usage of $15 million.

         The Company had  previously  disclosed  that the  restructuring  of its
European  plumbing  operations  would entail a special  charge of  approximately
$75-$100 million related to employee  severance and  consolidation of production
facilities.  The Company  expects to record this charge in the third  quarter of
1998.  Also,  the Company plans to take a non-cash  asset  impairment  charge of
approximately  $40 million  related to  goodwill  associated  with the  European
plumbing  operations  in  accordance  with SFAS No. 121 and a special  charge of
approximately  $45 million  associated with  restructuring its plumbing products
operations in the Americas.

         The Company's  parent,  American  Standard  Companies  Inc.,  recently
announced  that it may  repurchase  additional  shares of its common stock.  The
Company's  Board of Directors has approved the  repurchase of up to $100 million
of its common stock per year for up to three years. Full  implementation of this
repurchase  program,  however,  is subject to  obtaining  the removal of certain
restrictive  covenants in the Company's debt instruments  limiting the amount of
stock repurchases.  The Company expects to obtain the removal or modification of
these  restrictive  covenants to permit full  implementation  of the  repurchase
plan.

         As described in Note 6 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1997,
there are pending  German Tax issues for the years 1984 through 1990.  There has
been no change in the status of these issues since that report was filed.

         Comments  in  this  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q  contain  certain
forward-looking   statements   which  are  based  on  management's   good  faith
expectations  and belief  concerning  future  developments.  Actual  results may
differ materially from these expectations as a result of many factors,  relevant
examples of which are set forth in the Company's 1997 Annual Report on Form 10-K
and in the "Management's  Discussion and Analysis" section of the Company's 1997
Annual Report to Shareholders.
