        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
A. BASIS OF REPORTING FOR INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
 
     The unaudited financial statements included herein have been prepared
pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission
("SEC"). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in
financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although
the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information
presented not misleading. These financial statements should be read in
conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included for the
fiscal year ended November 30, 1997, presented in the Company's Form S-4 filed
with the SEC on April 11, 1998.
 
     The financial statements presented herein reflect all adjustments
(consisting of normal and recurring accruals) which, in the opinion of
management, are necessary to fairly state the results of operations for the
three month periods ended February 28, 1998 and 1997. Results of operations for
interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for an
entire year.
 
     See Note B.
 
B. ACQUISITION OF THE COMPANY
 
     On February 24, 1998 ('Closing Date'), Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc.
('Company') was acquired by a subsidiary of Granaria Industries BV, Eagle-Picher
Holdings, Inc. ('Parent'), from the Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. Personal
Injury Settlement Trust ('Trust'). The Trust was established pursuant to the
Company's Plan of Reorganization upon its emergence from bankruptcy.
 
     These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for
the three months ended February 28, 1998 include the effects of the Acquisition
as of February 24, 1998. Accordingly, the condensed consolidated statement of
income (loss) for the three months ended February 28, 1998 includes results
of operations from (1) December 1, 1997 through February 24, 1998 of the Company
prior to the consummation of the Acquisition (for clarity, sometimes referred
to herein as the 'Predecessor Company') and (2) February 25 through February 28,
1998 of the Company.
 
     Upon closing of the acquisition, the Parent received $100 million equity
investment from Granaria Industries BV and an equity partner. The Parent also
received proceeds approximating $80 million from its offering of preferred
stock. These proceeds were invested in the Company, which issued approximately
$180 million of common stock to the Parent. The Company also borrowed $225
million in term loans and $79.1 million in revolving credit loans under a
syndicated senior secured loan facility, and issued $220 million in senior
subordinated notes ('Subordinated Notes'), the proceeds of which were used to
redeem the Company's 10% Senior Unsecured Sinking Fund Debentures ('Debentures')
and common stock, both held by the Trust. The Company, which is the operating
entity, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Parent. The Parent's results of
operations and cash flows approximate those of the Company.

     The following pro forma information for the three months ended February 28,
1998 and 1997 gives effect to the Acquisition as if it had been consummated
on December 1, 1997 and 1996, respectively. This information is not necessarily
indicative of either the future results of operations or the results of 
operations that would have occurred if those events had been consummated on
the indicated dates.

D. LONG-TERM DEBT
 
     On the Closing Date, the Company's existing $60 million unsecured committed
revolving credit facility was terminated. It was replaced by a syndicated senior
secured loan facility ('Credit Agreement') which provided $225 million in term
loans and a $160 million revolving credit facility, of which $79.1 million was
drawn at the time of closing. Immediately following the closing, the Company
borrowed approximately $28.6 million for use as credit support in the form of
letters of credit, leaving approximately $52.3 million in available credit. The
Credit Agreement matures February 29, 2004.
 
     The Credit Agreement is secured by the capital stock of the Company, up to
65% of the capital stock of foreign subsidiaries and substantially all other
property in the United States. Both the Credit Agreement and the Subordinated
Notes are guaranteed by certain of the Company's domestic subsidiaries.
 
     Long-term debt consisted of:

E. INCOME TAXES
 
     The acquisition of the Company has been treated as a sale of its assets for
purposes of income taxes. The deferred tax benefits relating to the Debentures,
which were repaid on the Closing Date, and most of the benefits relating to the
net operating loss carryforwards will be realized to shelter the gain on the
sale of the assets. Any remaining net operating loss carryforwards will be lost.
The Company, however, will be liable for approximately $2.0 in alternative
minimum taxes and $1.6 million in state income taxes as a result of the
transaction. These taxes are recognized as part of the Acquisition adjustments.
 
F. LEGAL MATTERS
 
     The Company is involved in routine litigation, environmental proceedings
and claims pending with respect to matters arising out of the normal course of
business. In management's opinion, the ultimate liability resulting from all
claims, individually or in the aggregate, will not materially affect the
Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

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


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

     As a result of the Acquisition of the Company by Granaria Industries BV
from the Trust as of February 24, 1998, which was accounted for as a purchase,
Parent's results of operations and financial position for periods after February
24, 1998 are not comparable to prior periods. The unaudited condensed
consolidated statement of income (loss) as of February 28, 1998 includes results
of operations from (1) December 1, 1997 through February 24, 1998 of the
Predecessor Company and (2) February 25 through February 28, 1998 of Parent.
 
     Net Sales. Parent's net sales decreased by approximately $17.8 million, or
8.0%, from $223.6 million in the three months ended February 28, 1997 to $205.8
million in the three months ended February 28, 1998. Included in the results for
the first three months of 1997 are $29.3 million of sales of the Divested
Divisions which, if excluded, would result in an increase in Parent's quarterly
net sales of approximately 5.9%.
 
     First quarter net sales for the Industrial Group, excluding net sales of
the Divested Divisions, decreased 8.8% from 1997 to 1998 due primarily to
decreased sales of germanium products. Germanium sales have been affected by
lower market prices, increased use of recycled germanium by the Company's
customers and the completion of a major satellite project. Germanium prices have
decreased by as much as half during the last year due to increased supplies. In
response to sharp increases in the cost of germanium during 1996, Parent's
customers have increasingly been recycling scrap germanium. As a result, its
customers supply a larger portion of Parent's raw materials. While Parent has
been able to maintain its margins, the sales volume is less as a toll refiner
than as a buyer and seller of germanium.
 
     Net sales for the Machinery Group in the first three months of 1998,
excluding net sales of the Divested Divisions, increased 7.4% from the first
three months of 1997 on increased sales of special purpose batteries. Net sales
for the Automotive Group, excluding net sales of the Divested Divisions,
increased 11.5% on increased sales of precision machined components.
 
     Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold, excluding depreciation
expense, decreased by $17.6 million, or 9.8% from $180.4 million in the three
months ended February 28, 1997 to $162.8 million in the three months ended
February 28, 1998. Excluding the results of Divested Divisions, as a percentage
of sales, cost of products sold remained stable at approximately 79.0%.
 
     Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses decreased
by $2.6 million, or 13.1% from $19.7 million for the three months ended February
28, 1997 to $17.1 million for the three months ended February 28, 1998.
Excluding the results of Divested Divisions, selling and administrative expenses
for the first three months of 1998 decreased by $1.0 million from the first
three months of 1997.
 
                                         8
 

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization decreased by
$1.6 million, or 11.1% from $14.4 million for the three months ended February
28, 1997 to $12.8 million for the three months ended February 28, 1998.
Excluding the results of Divested Divisions, depreciation and amortization was
$13.0 million for the first three months of 1997.
 
     EBITDA. Parent's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and
amortization ('EBITDA') increased by approximately $2.4 million, or 10.3%, from
$23.5 million in 1997 to $25.9 million in 1998. Excluding the $.6 million
negative impact of the Divested Divisions on 1997 EBITDA, the EBITDA of Parent
increased $1.8 million, or 7.9%.
 
     Despite decreased sales, EBITDA of the Industrial Group for the first three
months of 1998, exclusive of EBITDA of the Divested Divisions, increased by 1.3%
over the first three months of 1997. This increase was due to improved results
at the Company's Boron operations and Parent's ability to maintain its margins
despite decreased germanium sales. First quarter 1998 EBITDA of the Machinery
Group, exclusive of the results of Divested Divisions, was unchanged from the
first quarter of 1997. Increased profitability of special-purpose batteries due
to higher volumes was offset by startup costs of new construction equipment
products. EBITDA of the Automotive Group for the first three months of 1998
increased by 9.6% from the first three months of 1997 due to higher volumes of
precision machined components.
 
     Interest Expense. Interest expense decreased by $2.0 million, or 22.5%,
from $8.9 million for the three months ended February 28, 1997 to $6.9 million
for the three months ended February 28, 1998. Most of this decrease was due to
the retirement of $125.9 million of debt during 1997, which included $50.0
million of divestiture notes, $69.1 million of tax refund notes and $6.8 million
of secured notes bearing interest at 9%, 6.5% and 10%, respectively. Of the
total debt that was retired during 1997, only $16.7 million was retired during
the first three months of 1997. The decrease in interest expense due to debt
retirements was partially offset by interest on an additional $8.0 million of
Industrial Revenue Bonds issued during the third quarter of 1997 and revolving
lines of credit, for which interest during the first three months of 1998 was
$0.1 million.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
 
        On February 24, 1998 Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. was acquired by a
subsidiary of Granaria Industries B.V., Eagle-Picher Holdings, Inc., from the
Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. Personal Injury Settlement Trust. Approximately
$33.7 million of cash was used in this transaction resulting in a reduction of
cash at February 28, 1998 to $19.0 million from $53.7 million at November 30,
1997. Excluding cash, the remaining portion of working capital increased $9.3
million to $143.5 million at February 28, 1998 from $134.2 million at November
30, 1997. Capital expenditures were $5.7 million in the first quarter of 1998
and should approximate $28.0 million in fiscal 1998. The Company is highly
leveraged and has significant debt service requirements (See Note D to the
Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements). After giving effect to
the acquisition at February 28, 1998, the Company had $547.0 million of
long-term debt outstanding, $323.8 million of which was secured. Under the
New Credit Agreement, the Company has scheduled principal payments aggregating
$5.3 million, $10.4 million and $15.4 million for the years 1998, 1999 and
2000, respectively.

YEAR 2000

        The Company is performing a comprehensive review to identify the systems
affected by the Year 2000 issue. A project committee meets regularly to review
the status of the investigation into and resolution of the Year 2000 issues. As
a result of the committee's progress to date, the Company expects to modify or
upgrade existing systems and, in some cases, replace systems. The Company does
not expect to spend any significant incremental amounts with outside
contractors to complete any necessary modifications or conversions, but is
redeploying existing internal resources. The Company presently believes that
through the planned modification to existing systems and conversion to new
systems, the Year 2000 issue will be resolved on a timely basis, and any related
costs will not have a material impact on the results of operations, cash flows
or financial condition of the Company.

ITEM 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

        On February 26, 1998, the Company entered into a three year interest
rate swap with its lead bank to partially hedge its variable interest rate
exposure on its $225 million term loan borrowings. The variable rates plus the
appropriate spreads are equal to the total interest rates for a given period.
This agreement calls for the Company to pay the fixed rate of 5.805% on $150
million and receive the floating rate (LIBOR) on that same amount. This swap
effectively fixes the interest rate on $150 million of the term loan debt at a
weighted rate of 8.35%, leaving the remaining $75 million at the floating rate.
