NOTES TO ADJUSTED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)


1.       MANAGEMENT'S COMMENTS REGARDING ADJUSTMENTS AND RESULTS OF
         ----------------------------------------------------------
         OPERATIONS
         ----------

         In the opinion of management,  the accompanying  consolidated financial
         statements  include all  adjustments  of a normal and recurring  nature
         necessary for a fair presentation of the financial position and results
         of operations for the periods  presented.  These  financial  statements
         should be read in conjunction  with the Company's Annual Report on Form
         10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1996. The results for the quarter
         and  nine-month  period ended  September  30, 1997 are not  necessarily
         indicative  of the results  which may occur for the full year.  All per
         share amounts have been restated to reflect the two-for-one stock split
         effective  September  20,  1996.  Certain  prior year amounts have been
         reclassified to conform to the 1997 presentation.

2.       RESERVES FOR PLANT CLOSINGS
         ---------------------------

         The Company  has  reserves  for  estimated  exit costs and  termination
         benefits in connection  with the shutdown of certain  facilities in the
         U.S. and Canada. Three of the plants acquired in the acquisition of the
         refractories assets of General  Refractories Company and its affiliated
         companies  ("General")  were closed during 1994, a $3.6 million reserve
         for which was  established at the time of  acquisition  and included on
         the opening  balance  sheet.  During 1995 the reserve was  increased by
         approximately $700,000 due to the closing of the Weston, Ontario Plant,
         which  was  sold in  December  1995,  and  revised  estimates  of U. S.
         employee   termination  benefits  resulting  from  the  sale  of  these
         facilities taking longer than anticipated.  Substantially all employees
         at these facilities have been terminated and approximately $3.2 million
         of  termination  benefits  and plant  closing  costs have been  charged
         against the reserves to date. The U.S.  facilities are held for sale at
         their estimated net realizable  value, one of which was sold in October
         1997 as discussed under Financial Condition.

4.       LITIGATION
         ----------

         Asbestos-related Claims - Personal Injury
         -----------------------------------------

         A. P. Green is among  numerous  defendants  in  lawsuits  pending as of
         September  30,  1997 that  seek to  recover  compensatory,  and in many
         cases,  punitive damages for personal injury  allegedly  resulting from
         exposure to asbestos-containing products.

         A. P.  Green is a member  of the  Center  for  Claims  Resolution  (the
         Center),  an  organization  of  twenty  companies  (Members)  who  were
         formerly distributors or manufacturers of asbestos-containing products.
         The Center administers, evaluates, settles, pays and defends all of the
         asbestos-related  personal injury lawsuits involving its Members. Under
         the  terms  of the  Center  Agreement,  each  Member's  portion  of the
         liability  payments  and  defense  costs are based  upon,  among  other
         things,  the  number  and type of claims  brought  against  it.  Claims
         activity for the Company for each of the years ended December 31, 1996,
         1995 and 1994 was as follows:

         Average settlement amount per claim(1)  $ 1,582    $ 1,778    $ 1,816
================================================================================
         (1)Substantially all settlements are covered by the Company's insurance
            program.

         On January 15, 1993,  the Members were named as  defendants  in a class
         action  lawsuit  brought  on  behalf  of  all  persons  who  have  been
         occupationally exposed to  asbestos-containing  products of the Members
         and who have  unasserted  claims for such exposure (the Class) pursuant
         to Federal  Rule of Civil  Procedure  23(b)(3) in the Federal  District
         Court for the Eastern  District of  Pennsylvania.  At the same time,  a
         settlement (the Settlement) between the Members and the Class was filed
         with the  court.  On June 25,  1997,  after a  favorable  ruling in the
         Federal  District Court for the Eastern  District of Pennsylvania and a
         reversal of that  ruling by the Third  Circuit  Court of  Appeals,  the
         United States Supreme Court upheld the ruling of the Third Circuit. The
         result  of such  ruling  is  that  the  class  action  lawsuit  and the
         Settlement are of no effect.

         As the  Settlement  established a numerical cap on the number of claims
         that  could  be  processed  each  year  during  the  ten  years  of the
         Settlement and because the Settlement  provided for a range of payments
         for  different  disease  categories,  it was  possible to estimate  the
         aggregate  amount of liability for the Company through 2004 and related
         insurance  recoveries.  The amounts  reported  for  projected  asbestos
         claims and  projected  insurance  recovery  on  asbestos  claims in the
         consolidated  statements of financial  position as of December 31, 1996
         were determined based upon the Settlement.

         Without the  Settlement the Company can only estimate the liability and
         related insurance recoveries associated with known claims. As such, the
         amounts reported for projected asbestos claims and projected  insurance
         recovery on asbestos claims as of September 30, 1997 reflect only those
         claims known to have been filed as of that date.  In order to arrive at
         these  projected  amounts,  the Company  also  reviewed  its  insurance
         policies  and  historical   settlement  amounts.  This  resulted  in  a
         reduction in both the liability  and asset of $19.4 million  during the
         third quarter of 1997. There was no effect on the consolidated earnings
         of the Company.

         Management  anticipates that the Company's insurance carriers will make
         all required  payments for these claims.  While management  understands
         the inherent uncertainty in litigation of this type and the possibility
         that past costs may not be indicative of future costs,  management does
         not  believe  that  these  claims  and cases  will have any  additional
         material

         adverse  effect on the  Company's  consolidated  financial  position or
         results of operations.

         In  December  1996,  the  Company  and a former  subsidiary,  The E. J.
         Bartells Company, reached a comprehensive settlement agreement with all
         insurance  carriers  except  one.  Under the  terms of this  settlement
         agreement,  such  carriers  have agreed to pay  (subject to  applicable
         policy  limits) on behalf of the insureds,  liabilities  arising out of
         asbestos personal injury claims.  The Company is pursuing its claim for
         coverage against the non-settling carrier.

         In addition to asbestos-related personal injury claims asserted against
         A.  P.  Green,   a  number  of  claims  have  been   asserted   against
         Bigelow-Liptak Corporation (now known as A. P. Green Services, Inc.), a
         subsidiary  of the Company.  These  claims have been and are  currently
         being  handled  by such  subsidiary's  insurance  carriers.  Except for
         deductible amounts or retentions provided for under insurance policies,
         no claim for  reimbursement  of defense or indemnity  payments has been
         made against the Company or such subsidiary by any such carriers.

         Asbestos-related Claims - Property Damage
         -----------------------------------------

         A. P.  Green is also among  numerous  defendants  in a property  damage
         class action suit pending in South Carolina. A. P. Green previously has
         been dismissed from a number of property damage cases and believes that
         it should be dismissed  from the South  Carolina  case based on the end
         uses of its  products.  A similar  suit  pending in the State of Oregon
         involves a former  wholly owned  subsidiary of the Company and is being
         defended by the Company's  insurance carrier.  Based upon the Company's
         history in these  asbestos-related  property damage claims,  management
         does not believe that the  ultimate  resolution  of these  matters will
         have a material adverse effect on the Company's  consolidated financial
         position or results of operations.

         Environmental
         -------------

         The EPA or other  private  parties have named the Company or one of its
         subsidiaries as a potentially  responsible party in connection with two
         superfund sites in the United States. The Company is a de minimis party
         with  respect to one of the sites and expects to arrive at a settlement
         agreement and consent  decree with respect to it for an amount which is
         not  expected to be material.  With respect to the second,  involving a
         wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, there does not appear to be any
         evidence  of  delivery  to  the  site  of  hazardous  material  by  the
         subsidiary.  An  estimate  has been made of the costs to be incurred in
         these matters and the Company has recorded a reserve  respecting  those
         costs.

         Other
         -----

         From time to time, A. P. Green is subject to claims and other  lawsuits
         that arise in the ordinary  course of business,  some of which may seek
         damages in substantial  amounts,  including  punitive or  extraordinary
         damages.  Reserves  for these  claims and  lawsuits are recorded to the
         extent  that  losses  are deemed  probable  and are  estimable.  In the
         opinion  of  management,  the  disposition  of all  current  claims and
         lawsuits will not have a material  adverse  effect on the  consolidated
         financial position or results of operations of A. P. Green.

5.       SUBSEQUENT EVENT
         ----------------

         The   Company   acquired   a  51%   ownership   interest   in   Lanxide
         ThermoComposites,  Inc. and  Subsidiary  (LTI) on December 31, 1995, at
         which  date total  stockholders'  equity of LTI was  $196,078.  LTI has
         incurred  quarterly  net  losses  since  the  acquisition.   Accounting
         Research Bulletin No. 51, "Consolidated  Financial Statements" (ARB51),
         requires that "...In the unusual case in which losses applicable to the
         minority  interest in a subsidiary  exceed the minority interest in the
         equity  capital of the  subsidiary,  such excess and any further losses
         applicable  to the  minority  interest  shall be  charged  against  the
         majority  interest..."  The  Company  did  not  become  aware  of  this
         requirement  until  recently  and, as such, as been charging 49% of all
         LTI losses against the minority interest.

         In order to correct  its prior  accounting  treatment,  the Company has
         adjusted  its  consolidated  statements  of earnings for the year ended
         December 31, 1996 and the first three quarters of 1997.

         The impact on the  three-month  and nine-month  periods ended September
         30, 1997 and 1996 was as follows:

                                Three months ended    Nine Months Ended
                                   September 30,         September 30,

         In accordance with ARB 51, for future periods in which LTI has earnings
         the Company,  as majority  stockholder,  will be credited  with 100% of
         those earnings until such time as total stockholders'  equity of LTI is
         positive.

A. P. GREEN INDUSTRIES, INC.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
              OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

The Company acquired a 51% ownership interest in Lanxide ThermoComposites,  Inc.
and  Subsidiary  (LTI) on December 31, 1995,  at which date total  stockholders'
equity of LTI was  $196,078.  LTI has  incurred  quarterly  net losses since the
acquisition.  ARB 51  requires  that  "...In the  unusual  case in which  losses
applicable to the minority interest in a subsidiary exceed the minority interest
in the equity  capital of the  subsidiary,  such excess and any  further  losses
applicable  to the  minority  interest  shall be charged  against  the  majority
interest..." The Company did not become aware of this requirement until recently
and, as such,  has been  charging  49% of all LTI losses  against  the  minority
interest.

In order to correct its prior accounting treatment, the Company has adjusted its
consolidated statements of earnings for the year ended December 31, 1996 and the
first three  quarters of 1997.  The impact on the quarter and nine months  ended
September 30, 1997 was to increase  minority  interest in income of consolidated
subsidiaries by approximately $151,000 and $459,000,  respectively,  through the
elimination  of the  minority  interest  in all LTI losses for the  quarter  and
nine-month  period,  which reduced net income by the same  amounts,  or $.02 and
$.06 per share,  respectively.  The impact on the quarter and nine months  ended
September 30, 1996 was to increase  minority  interest in income of consolidated
subsidiaries by approximately $182,000 and $575,000, respectively, which reduced
net income by the same  amounts,  or $.02 and $.07 per share,  respectively.  In
addition, on the adjusted consolidated statements of financial position minority
interests  was  increased  and  retained   earnings   reduced  by  approximately
$1,133,000 as of September 30, 1997 and  approximately  $575,000 and $674,000 as
of September 30, 1996 and December 31, 1996, respectively. These adjustments are
reflected in the adjusted  consolidated  financial  statements  included  herein
under  Item  1.,  as well as  wherever  these  items  appear  in or  impact  the
supplementary data.

In  accordance  with ARB 51, for future  periods in which LTI has  earnings  the
Company, as majority  stockholder,  will be credited with 100% of those earnings
until such time as total stockholders' equity of LTI is positive.
