                           ZARING NATIONAL CORPORATION

                   PRO FORMA CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


The accompanying Pro Forma Balance Sheet and Statements of Operations have been
derived from the historical financial statements of Zaring National Corporation
(the Company) and adjusts such information to give effect to the transaction
detailed below:

Effective March 15, 1999, after assignment of certain obligations and other
preclosing activities, the Company sold a 25% interest in HomeMax, Inc.
(HomeMax) to American Homestar Corporation (American Homestar) for a note
receivable of approximately $4.4 million. The note receivable is to be paid in
three annual installments commencing March 15, 2000 and accrues interest payable
quarterly, at prime. The amended and restated securities purchase agreement
includes the following terms:

- -    American Homestar issued a $4.0 million subordinated convertible loan to
     HomeMax, Inc. concurrent with the sale. This subordinated loan accrues
     interest at 6%, payable quarterly, while the principal is payable on June
     15, 2002 unless accelerated as a result of available cash flow of HomeMax,
     as defined. The subordinated loan is convertible into an additional 25% of
     HomeMax at the discretion of American Homestar.

- -    The Company retained a $4.0 million receivable due from HomeMax which
     accrues interest at 6.0% and is payable quarterly. The $4.0 million of
     principal is payable on June 15, 2002, unless accelerated as a result of
     available cash flow of HomeMax, as defined.

- -    The Company agreed to pay up to $3.0 million in connection with certain
     annual lease obligations.

- -    Subsequent to the sale, model home inventory will be replaced with
     inventory of American Homestar. Costs of replacement, if any, will be
     provided by the Company and American Homestar in amounts up to $1.0 million
     and $0.5 million, respectively.

- -    Subsequent to the sale, the Company and American Homestar agreed to provide
     up to $50,000 per quarter to support advertising and promotional
     initiatives.

- -    American Homestar agreed to provide certain management and consulting
     services for up to three years for compensation of at least $0.5 million
     plus an additional fee of up to $750,000 based upon quarterly losses during
     the first four quarters following closing.




                                       3

- -    American Homestar and the Company each agreed to provide working capital
     loans of up to $0.5 million to HomeMax which will accrue interest at prime.

- -    The Company has the option to sell and American Homestar has an option to
     buy 50% of HomeMax within three years at a defined priced.

- -    The Company received an option, which expires on March 15, 2004, to
     purchase up to 150,000 shares of common stock of American Homestar with an
     exercise price of $18.00 per share.

The Pro Forma Balance Sheet as of December 31, 1998, assumes the transaction
occurred on December 31, 1998.

The Pro Forma Statements of Operations for the year ended December 31, 1998 and
the three months ended March 31, 1999 assumes the transaction occurred January
1, 1998 and January 1, 1999, respectively.

The pro forma financial information is not necessarily indicative of the results
that would have occurred had the transaction been in effect on the date and for
the period indicated or which may result in the future. In the opinion of
management, all adjustments have been made to fairly present the pro forma
information. The pro forma information should be read in conjunction with the
notes thereto.
