                           EAGLE-PICHER HOLDINGS, INC.
        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 and for the three months ended February 28,
1998, presented in the Company's Form S-4/A filed with the SEC on June 5, 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 and six month periods ended May 31, 1998 and 1997. (See Note B.) Results
of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to
be expected for an entire year.

    The three month periods ended May 31, 1998, and February 28, 1998
(Predecessor) included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income (Loss)
and of Cash Flows are presented for comparison to the six months ended May 31,
1997 of the Predecessor Company. (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 "Acquisition"). The Trust was established
pursuant to the Company's Plan of Reorganization upon its emergence from
bankruptcy.

     The 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.

     The Acquisition was accounted for using the purchase method of accounting.
The preliminary allocation of the purchase price of the Company has been
determined based on estimates of fair value and are subject to change.
Appraisals are currently being completed to value property, plant, equipment and
identifiable intangible assets. The excess of purchase price over the assessed
values of those assets will be allocated to goodwill. The Company expects to
finalize the purchase price allocation by November 30, 1998. Adjustments are not
expected to be material.



                                        8

<PAGE>   9



     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 flow approximate those of the Company.

     The following pro forma information for six months ended May 31, 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.

</TABLE>


C.  BASIC EARNINGS PER SHARE

     The calculation of net income (loss) per share is based upon the average
number of common shares outstanding, which was 9,600,071 in the three months
ended February 28, 1998, 10,000,000 in the six months ended May 31, 1997, and
1,000,000 and 10,000,000 in the three months ended May 31, 1998 and 1997,
respectively. In 1998, 1,000,000 shares were outstanding after the acquisition.
Prior to the acquisition, 10,000,000 shares were outstanding.

D.  INTANGIBLE ASSETS

     Excess of acquired net assets over cost is being amortized on a
straight-line basis over fifteen years. The recoverability of these assets is
evaluated periodically based on current and estimated future cash flows of each
of the related business units over the remaining amortization period.
Reorganization value in excess of amounts allocable to identifiable assets was
being amortized on a straight-line basis over four years.

E.  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 managements' 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 FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
OF OPERATIONS.


RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

   As a result of the Acquisition of the Company by Granaria Industries B.V.
from the Trust as of February 24, 1998, which was accounted for as a purchase,
the Company'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 the
Company.

   In addition to the effects of the Acquisition, another factor affecting
comparability of operations is the sale of the Plastics, Transicoil and Fabricon
Products divisions in 1997. The Company also contributed the assets of its
former Suspension Systems division to Eagle-Picher-Boge, L.L.C., a joint venture
formed in 1997 in which the Company has a 45% interest. These divisions are
collectively referred to as the "Divested Divisions."

   The following table sets forth certain sales and operating data, net of all
inter-segment transactions, for the Company's businesses for the periods
indicated:

   Net Sales. The Company's net sales were $219.9 million for the second quarter
ended May 31, 1998, a decrease of $22.3 million or 9.2% from the comparable
period of 1997. Included in the results of the second quarter of 1997 are $32.6
million of sales of the Divested Divisions, which, if excluded, would result in
an increase in the Company's quarterly net sales of approximately 4.9%.

   Net sales of Industrial products, excluding net sales of the Divested
Divisions, decreased 17.9% in the second quarter of 1998 from the comparable
period in 1997, due primarily to decreased sales of germanium products.
Germanium sales have been affected by lower market prices which have resulted
from increased supplies, the completion of a major satellite project and the
increased use of recycled germanium by the Company's customers in response to
sharp increases in germanium prices which took place in 1996. Since the
customers now supply a larger portion of the Company's raw materials, the sales
volume is less as a toll refiner than as a buyer and seller of germanium.
Operating margins, however, have been maintained.

   Net sales for the Machinery Group in the second quarter of 1998, excluding
the Divested Divisions, increased 7.9% due in part to an increase in demand for
heavy-duty fork lift trucks. Although demand remains low for special purpose
can-washing equipment, resources at that operation have been successfully
redeployed to produce and market other industrial machinery, which also
contributed to the increased net sales of the Machinery Group.

   The Automotive Group's net sales, excluding the Divested Divisions, increased
13.0% primarily due to increased market penetration of precision machined
components, many of which are used in light trucks, vans and sport utility
vehicles which have recently grown in popularity. Volumes of fuel systems have
also increased as new programs are implemented.

   The Ford Motor Company ("Ford") has recently notified the Company that it
will no longer purchase certain products from the Automotive Group. Sales
contributed by those products in 1997 were $19.4 million. The Company
anticipates that these programs will be discontinued gradually through 1999 and
that this revenue will be replaced by new programs currently being implemented.

   The current strike by the United Auto Workers at certain General Motors
Corporation ("GM") plants has not impacted the second quarter results of the
Automotive Group. However, the third quarter of 1998 could be significantly
impacted. Some of the Automotive Group operations have experienced lay-offs as a
result of the strike at GM. Historically, the third quarter results of the
Automotive Group are depressed as most of the automobile companies shut their
plants for two weeks in July to retool for new model years.

   Since the 1980's, original equipment manufacturers ("OEM's") such as Ford, GM
and the Chrysler Corporation have been outsourcing an increasing percentage of
their production requirements. OEM's benefit from outsourcing because outside
suppliers generally have significantly lower cost structures and can assist in
shortening development periods for new products. The Company expects to continue
to benefit from the trend toward outsourcing.

   The Company expects strong price pressure to continue across all product
lines, particularly in the Automotive Group. The Company will continue to pursue
productivity improvements and material cost reductions to mitigate such price
pressure.

   Historically, sales to certain Asian markets have been insignificant to the
Company's total net sales; therefore, the current economic conditions in Asia
have not had, nor are they expected to have, a material adverse effect on the
Company's operations. The Company believes that despite these conditions, the
Asian region has solid long-term growth opportunities and will continue to
explore these opportunities.

   Cost of Products Sold. Cost of products sold, excluding depreciation expense,
decreased by $25.0 million or 12.8% from the second quarter of 1997 compared to
the comparable period in 1998. Excluding the results of Divested Divisions, as a
percentage of sales, cost of products sold declined from 78.9% in the second
quarter of 1997 to 77.1% in the second quarter of 1998. Reasons for this decline
include better absorption of overhead due to increased sales volumes and
improved performance at certain start-up operations.


                                       12

<PAGE>   13



   Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses increased by
$.7 million or 3.4% in the quarter ended May 31, 1998 from the quarter ended May
31, 1997. Excluding results of Divested Divisions, these expenses increased $2.5
million or 14.1% over the same time frame. Besides a general increase due to
activity relating to increased sales volumes, items contributing to this
increase include management fees now payable to Granaria Industries B.V. and a
retention program for mid-level management.

   Depreciation and Amortization. Depreciation and amortization are not
comparable for the three months ended May 31, 1998 and 1997 due to the
differences in asset bases as a result of the Acquisition on February 24, 1998.

  EBITDA. The Company defines EBITDA as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation, amortization and management expenses. Due to the differences in
the asset bases, it is preferable to compare EBITDA rather than operating
income. EBITDA increased from $28.0 million in the three months ended May 31,
1997 to $30.1 million for the same period in 1998 or 7.5%. The increase is 14.0%
after excluding the results of Divested Divisions. In the second quarter of
1998, EBITDA for the Industrial Group declined to $7.1 million from $8.6 million
in the comparable period of 1997. Excluding the results of Divested Divisions,
this decline was $.4 million or 5.3% on a 17.9% decrease in sales. As previously
mentioned, although lower germanium prices have contributed to reduced sales,
EBITDA has remained relatively consistent as did results at other Industrial
Group operations.

   In the Machinery Group, EBITDA increased from $8.3 million in the second
quarter of 1997 to $10.9 million in the same period of 1998. Excluding results
of the Divested Divisions, the increase was $3.1 million. Reasons for this
increase include a shift in product mix toward more profitable products at
operations manufacturing special-purpose batteries, better absorption of
overhead on increased sales volumes at the other industrial equipment facilities
previously mentioned and improved efficiencies at the aluminum foundry.

   EBITDA for the Automotive Group increased to $17.8 million in the second
quarter of 1998 from $16.6 million in the same period in the prior year.
Excluding the results of Divested Divisions, the increase was 7.9%. This
increase results from the increased volumes previously discussed.

   Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended May 31, 1998
and 1997 was $12.6 million and $7.9 million, respectively. In 1997, interest
expense included interest on the $250 million Subordinated Debentures held by
the Trust which were retired upon the Acquisition and the $50 million
Divestiture Notes retired in August 1997. In 1998, the increase in interest was
attributable to the borrowings against the new credit facility totaling $304.1
million, the issuance of $220 million in Subordinated Notes and the issuance of
an additional $8 million industrial revenue bond in June 1997.


FINANCIAL CONDITION

   The Company generated cash from operations in the second quarter of 1998
despite the net loss of $9.3 million. EBITDA of $30.1 was sufficient to cover
interest payments of $7.1 million and capital expenditures of $9.1 million. The
receivables were at high levels at February 28, 1998, primarily due to February
being a short month. Receivables are at what would be considered a more normal
level at May 31, 1998, resulting in an influx of cash in the second quarter of
$14.4 million. After drawing down cash balances by $8.0 million, the Company was
able to repay $35.1 million of the debt incurred upon the Acquisition.



                                       13

<PAGE>   14



   The Company's liquidity needs are primarily for debt service and capital
maintenance. The Company has scheduled debt payments of $5.3 million in the
second half of 1998 and $10.4 million in 1999. The Company anticipates that
capital spending will be approximately $15.0 to $18.0 million in the second half
of 1998.

   The Company believes that its cash flows from operations and available
borrowings under its bank credit facilities will be sufficient to fund its
anticipated liquidity requirements for the next twelve months. In the event that
the foregoing sources are not sufficient to fund the Company's expenditures and
service its indebtedness, the Company would be required to raise additional
funds.




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 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, as well
as ongoing correspondence with suppliers and customers, 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

     The Company's $225 million term loan facility (the "Term Loan Facility")
bears interest at a variable rate equal to either (a) the average daily rate on
overnight U.S. federal funds transactions ("Federal Funds Rate"), or (b) the
London Interbank Offered Rate shown on Telerate Page 3750 for the applicable
interest period ("LIBOR"), plus, in either case, an applicable spread.

     On February 26, 1998, the Company entered into a three year interest rate
swap agreement with its lead bank to partially hedge its interest rate risk on
the Term Loan Facility. Under this agreement the Company pays a fixed rate of
5.805% on a notional amount of $150 million and receives LIBOR on that amount.
This swap transaction effectively fixes the interest rate on $150 million of the
Term Loan Facility at 5.805% plus the applicable spread for the duration of the
interest rate swap.

     The remaining $75 million of the Term Loan Facility bears interest at the
variable rates described above. Accordingly, a 1% increase in an applicable
index rate would result in additional interest expense of $750,000 per year.
