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 six-month period ended June 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.       RESERVE FOR PLANT CLOSINGS
         --------------------------

         The  Company  has a reserve 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  reserve to date.  The U.S.  facilities  are held for sale at their
         estimated net realizable value.

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

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

         A. P. Green is among numerous defendants in lawsuits pending as of June
         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:

         =======================================================================
         (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.

         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  will pursue  coverage
         litigation against the non-settling carrier.

         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 June 30, 1997 and
         December 31, 1996 were determined  based upon the Settlement.  However,
         without the  Settlement the Company can only estimate the liability and
         related insurance recoveries associated with known claims.

         The Company is assessing the impact of the recent  Supreme Court ruling
         on its projected asbestos liability and insurance recoveries.  In doing
         so,  the  Company  will  review  its  insurance  policies,   historical
         settlement  amounts  and  the  number  of  cases  pending  against  it.
         Management  believes  the outcome of this  assessment  will not have an
         effect on the

                                        8

<PAGE>



         consolidated  earnings of the Company.  It is  anticipated  that future
         projections  of  asbestos  liabilities  and  insurance  recoveries  and
         related  adjustments to the amounts reported in the Company's statement
         of  financial  position  will be based  primarily  on known  claims and
         cases,  as  unreported  claims  cannot be  estimated  with a reasonable
         degree of accuracy.

         Management  does not  anticipate  that the Company  will be required to
         make any 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 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

                                        9

         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 six-month periods ended June 30, 1997
         and 1996 was as follows:

                               Three months ended         Six Months Ended
                                    June 30,                  June 30,

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 six months ended June 30, 1997 was to increase  minority
        interest  in  income  of  consolidated   subsidiaries  by  approximately
        $140,000 and  $308,000,  respectively,  through the  elimination  of the
        minority  interest  in all LTI  losses  for the  quarter  and  six-month
        period,  which reduced net income by the same amounts,  or $.02 and $.04
        per share, respectively.  The impact on the quarter and six months ended
        June  30,  1996  was  to  increase   minority   interest  in  income  of
        consolidated   subsidiaries  by  approximately  $266,000  and  $393,000,
        respectively,  which reduced net income by the same amounts, or $.04 and
        $.05 per share, respectively.  In addition, on the adjusted consolidated
        statements of financial  position  minority  interests was increased and
        retained earnings reduced by approximately  $982,000 as of June 30, 1997
        and approximately $393,000 and $674,000 as of June 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.
