                   NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

NOTE 1.   EARNINGS PER SHARE

          Prior to December 31, 1999, CoorsTek was a privately owned company and
its capital  structure  was not  indicative of the current  structure.  As such,
earnings  per share for the three months and six months ended June 30, 1999 have
been  calculated  using the weighted  average shares  outstanding  for the three
months and six months ended June 30, 2000, respectively.

NOTE 2.   BASIS OF PRESENTATION

          The  financial  statements  included  herein have been prepared by the
Company  pursuant to the rules and  regulations  of the  Securities and Exchange
Commission.  Certain  information and footnote  disclosure  normally included in
financial  statements  prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting
principles   have  been  condensed  or  omitted   pursuant  to  such  rules  and
regulations,  although the Company believes that the disclosures included herein
are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.  A description of
the Company's accounting policies and other financial information is included in
the  audited  financial  statements  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
Commission in the Company's  Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1999 and
in the Company's Form S-1 which was filed on July 19, 2000.

        In the  opinion of  management,  the  accompanying  unaudited  financial
statements  contain all  adjustments  necessary to present  fairly the financial
position of the Company as of June 30, 2000,  and the results of operations  and
cash  flows for the  periods  presented.  All such  adjustments  are of a normal
recurring  nature.  The results of operations for the three and six months ended
June  30,  2000,  are not  necessarily  indicative  of the  results  that may be
achieved  for the full  fiscal  year and  cannot be used to  indicate  financial
performance for the entire year.

NOTE 3.   ACQUISITIONS

          On March 31, 2000, CoorsTek acquired certain assets and liabilities of
Liberty Machine, Inc. ("Liberty") for approximately $4.0 million. In conjunction
with the transaction,  CoorsTek entered into seven-year operating leases for the
manufacturing  equipment of Liberty. The acquisition was accounted for under the
purchase  method of accounting,  and goodwill of  approximately  $2.9 million is
being  amortized  over 20 years.  Liberty  Machine,  Inc.,  located in  Fremont,
California,  manufactures  metal  parts and  assemblies  for the  semiconductor,
aerospace, analytical, and medical industries.

NOTE 4.   SUBSEQUENT EVENT

          On July 20, 2000,  CoorsTek sold 3.0 million shares of common stock in
a follow-on public offering. The Company used the net proceeds of $113.3 million
to repay debt incurred in conjunction  with the $270.0  million Credit  Facility
established  in December  1999. Net proceeds were used to repay $78.8 million of
the Senior Term A facility  and $6.2  million of the Senior Term B facility,  as
required by the Credit Facility  agreement.  Additionally,  the revolving credit
facility was reduced $28.3 million.  CoorsTek granted to the underwriters of the
follow-on  public  offering an over  allotment  option to purchase an additional
450,000 shares of CoorsTek common stock. If the underwriters exercise the entire
option by August 18,  2000,  CoorsTek  will receive  additional  net proceeds of
approximately  $17.0  million  which will also be used to reduce the  borrowings
under the Company's Credit Facility.

NOTE 5.   COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

          On August  12,1999,  five  current  and former  employees  sued one of
CoorsTek's  subsidiaries in the U.S.  District Court for the Eastern District of
Arkansas claiming gender discrimination,  sexual harassment and retaliation. The
plaintiffs are seeking class certification, which the Company is resisting based
on the  distinctions  among  their  respective  claims.  CoorsTek's  preliminary
evaluation  indicates the case is largely  without  merit,  however,  sufficient
information is not available to determine the ultimate  outcome or any potential
liability related to these claims.

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

GENERAL OVERVIEW

     CoorsTek,  Inc.  ("CoorsTek")  is a leading  designer and  manufacturer  of
components and integrated assemblies for semiconductor capital equipment and for
telecommunications,   electronics,  automotive,  medical  and  other  industrial
applications.  The Company uses advanced  materials  such as  precision-machined
metals,  technical  ceramics and  engineered  plastics to design  solutions that
enable the customers'  products to overcome  technological  barriers and enhance
performance.

                                       6


<PAGE>

     In January of 2000,  CoorsTek began to provide clean room assembly services
for a major  semiconductor  capital equipment  customer to enhance the Company's
ability to provide  integrated  solutions from product design and prototyping to
manufacturing   and  assembly.   These  services  include   assembling   various
components,  some of which are manufactured by the Company, for inclusion in the
customer's  highly  sophisticated  and  complex  machinery.  Compared  with  the
Company's historical  semiconductor  business,  the assembly services have lower
gross margins but significantly lower capital requirements.

     CoorsTek recognizes revenue when products are shipped or services have been
rendered.  The Company sells products  primarily to OEMs for incorporation  into
semiconductor  capital  equipment and other  industrial  applications.  CoorsTek
generates sales through direct sales employees,  manufacturers'  representatives
and distributors located throughout the U.S., Asia and Europe.

     On March 31, 2000,  CoorsTek  acquired  certain  assets and  liabilities of
Liberty Machine, Inc. ("Liberty") for approximately $4.0 million. In conjunction
with  the  acquisition,   CoorsTek  executed  seven-year  operating  leases  for
substantially all of the manufacturing equipment of Liberty. Liberty, located in
Fremont, California, manufactures parts and assemblies with complex geometry and
dimensional tolerances for the semiconductor,  aerospace, analytical and medical
industries.

     During 1999,  CoorsTek was a wholly owned  subsidiary of ACX  Technologies,
Inc.,  now  known  as  Graphic  Packaging  International  Corporation  ("Graphic
Packaging".)  At the close of business on December 31, 1999,  Graphic  Packaging
distributed  100% of the shares of  CoorsTek to Graphic  Packaging  shareholders
("spin-off").  For 1999, Graphic Packaging provided general  management,  legal,
treasury, tax, internal audit, financial reporting and environmental services to
CoorsTek.  These Graphic  Packaging costs were allocated to CoorsTek in the form
of an annual  management fee. Graphic  Packaging also provided  centralized cash
management and allocated  interest income or interest  expense to CoorsTek based
on cash balances.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999

     NET SALES.  Net sales consist of gross sales of components,  assemblies and
services, less discounts, allowances and returns. Net sales for the three months
ended June 30, 2000 were $127.4  million,  an increase of $32.0 million or 33.5%
from net sales of $95.4  million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.  This
increase  in  sales  was  primarily   attributable   to  strong  growth  in  the
semiconductor  capital equipment market and the start of the clean room assembly
business in January  2000.  In  addition,  net sales in the  Advanced  Materials
segment  grew  approximately  7.7% in the  three  months  ended  June  30,  2000
following  stronger  demand and pricing in certain  product lines,  specifically
telecommunications,  oil and gas and  electronics,  as  compared  with the three
months ended June 30, 1999.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT.  Cost of goods sold consists primarily
of expenses for manufacturing  labor, raw materials and manufacturing  overhead.
Gross  profit for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 was $29.8  million,  an
increase of $6.0  million,  or 25.4%,  from $23.8  million for the three  months
ended June 30, 1999.  The start of the clean room  assembly  business and strong
demand in the semiconductor  equipment industry fueled this growth. In addition,
gross profit in the Advanced  Materials segment grew  approximately  3.4% in the
three  months  ended June 30, 2000 as a result of cost  reduction  measures  and
stronger demand in the  telecommunications,  oil and gas and electronics product
lines compared with the three months ended June 30, 1999. Gross margin decreased
to 23.4% for the  three  months  ended  June 30,  2000 from  24.9% for the three
months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  decrease  in the gross  margin is  primarily
attributable  to the clean room  assembly  business,  started in January 2000 to
enhance the Company's ability to provide integrated solutions to customers.  The
clean  room   assembly   business  has  a  lower  margin  than  the   historical
Semiconductor   segment   business,   but  also   significantly   lower  capital
requirements.

     SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE   EXPENSES.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses consist primarily of expenses for executive  management
compensation,   sales   salaries  and   commissions,   accounting,   information
technology, legal, risk management,  treasury, goodwill amortization and certain
other corporate overhead costs. Selling, general and administrative expenses for
the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 were $15.9  million,  an increase of $2.8
million,  or 21.0%, from $13.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 1999.


                                       7


<PAGE>

The increase in the selling, general and administrative expenses, in dollars, is
primarily  attributable  to  increased  sales  volume and from the  building  of
infrastructure as a public company. Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percent of sales declined to 12.5% for the three months ended June 30, 2000
from 13.8% for the three months ended June 30, 1999.

     OPERATING INCOME. Operating income for the three months ended June 30, 2000
was $13.9 million, an increase of $3.3 million, or 31.0%, from $10.6 million for
the three  months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  increase in  operating  income is
primarily  due to  the  increase  in net  sales  in the  Semiconductor  segment.
Operating  margin for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 was 10.9%  compared
with 11.1% for the three months  ended June 30, 1999.  The decrease in operating
margin resulted from the decrease in gross margin discussed above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE,  NET. For the three months ended June 30, 2000,  interest
expense,  net,  consisted  primarily  of interest  expense  associated  with the
Company's bank credit  facilities.  For 1999,  interest expense,  net, consisted
primarily of interest  expense  associated  with  intercompany  borrowings  with
Graphic Packaging. Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2000 was
$4.9  million  compared  with $1.6  million for the three  months ended June 30,
1999. This increase  resulted from a $200.0 million payment to Graphic Packaging
for a one-time  dividend and  intercompany  obligations in conjunction  with the
spin-off,  which was funded under a $270.0 million credit facility. In addition,
interest  expense has increased  due to  borrowings to fund working  capital and
capital expenditures, primarily in the Semiconductor segment.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30,
2000 increased to $3.3 million from $3.1 million for the three months ended June
30, 1999.  The  consolidated  effective  tax rate was 37.0% for the three months
ended June 30,  2000  compared  with 34.9% for the three  months  ended June 30,
1999.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2000 AND JUNE 30, 1999

     NET SALES.  Net sales for the six months  ended June 30,  2000 were  $248.2
million,  an  increase  of $76.2  million,  or  44.3%,  from net sales of $172.0
million  for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  This  increase  in sales was
primarily attributable to the Semiconductor segment. The start of the clean room
assembly business in January 2000 and strong demand in the semiconductor capital
equipment  market  contributed  to this growth.  In  addition,  net sales in the
Advanced Materials segment grew approximately 6.9% for the six months ended June
30, 2000 following stronger demand and pricing in certain product lines compared
with the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     COST OF GOODS SOLD AND GROSS PROFIT.  Cost of goods sold for the six months
ended June 30, 2000 was $191.0 million,  an increase of $61.0 million, or 46.9%,
from $130.0  million for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The start of the
clean room assembly  business and strong demand in the  semiconductor  equipment
industry  fueled this growth.  Gross profit in the  Advanced  Materials  segment
decreased  slightly  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 from the six months
ended  June 30,  1999.  This  decline  was a result  of  costs  associated  with
production inefficiencies experienced at certain facilities for the three months
ended March 31, 2000.  Gross margin  decreased to 23.1% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 from 24.4% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.  This  decrease
was  partially  attributable  to the clean  room  assembly  business  started in
January 2000 to enhance the Company's ability to provide integrated solutions to
customers.  The  assembly  business  has a  lower  margin  than  the  historical
Semiconductor   segment   business,   but  also   significantly   lower  capital
requirements.  In addition, the gross margin was impacted by the decrease in the
gross profit of the Advanced Materials segment described above.

     SELLING,  GENERAL  AND  ADMINISTRATIVE   EXPENSES.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000 were  $30.4
million,  an increase of $8.2 million,  or 37.0%, from $22.2 million for the six
months ended June 30, 1999. The increase in selling,  general and administrative
expenses,  in dollars,  is primarily  attributable to increased sales volume and
from  building  infrastructure  as  a  public  company.   Selling,  general  and
administrative  expenses  as a percent  of sales  declined  to 12.2% for the six
months ended June 30, 2000 from 12.9% for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

     OPERATING  INCOME.  Operating income for the six months ended June 30, 2000
was $26.8 million, an increase of $6.9 million, or 35.2%, from $19.9 million for
the six  months  ended  June 30,  1999.  The  increase  in  operating  income is
primarily  due to  the  increase  in net  sales  in the  Semiconductor  segment.


                                       8


<PAGE>

Operating  margin for the six months ended June 30, 2000 was 10.8% compared with
11.5% for the six months  ended June 30,  1999.  The  decrease in the  operating
margin resulted from the decrease in the gross margin discussed above.

     INTEREST EXPENSE, NET.  Interest  expense for the six months ended June 30,
2000 was $9.6 million  compared  with $2.3 million for the six months ended June
30,  1999.  This  increase  resulted  from a $200.0  million  payment to Graphic
Packaging for a one-time  dividend and  intercompany  obligations in conjunction
with the spin-off, which was funded under the $270.0 million credit facility. In
addition,  interest  expense has  increased  due to  borrowings  to fund working
capital and capital expenditures, primarily in the Semiconductor segment.

     INCOME TAX EXPENSE.  Income tax  expense for the six months  ended June 30,
2000  decreased  to $6.4 million from $6.5 million for the six months ended June
30, 1999. The consolidated effective tax rate was 37.0% for the six months ended
June 30, 2000 and for the six months ended June 30, 1999.

         LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

         CoorsTek's liquidity is generated by both internal and external sources
and  is  used  to  fund  short-term   working  capital   requirements,   capital
expenditures  and  acquisitions.  On July 20,  2000,  CoorsTek  sold 3.0 million
shares of common stock in a follow-on offering.  The Company used the entire net
proceeds  of $113.3  million  from this  offering to repay debt under the $270.0
million  Credit  Facility.  The  Credit  Facility  required  that 75% of the net
proceeds  be used  to  repay,  ratably,  the  Senior  Term A and  Senior  Term B
facilities.  The  Company  voluntarily  used  the  remaining  proceeds  to repay
borrowings under the revolving line of credit.

         Per the terms of the Credit  Facility,  Senior Term B note  holders had
the ability to reject any prepayment so long as there was a balance remaining on
the Senior Term A facility.  Accordingly, most of the Senior Term B note holders
rejected the prepayment. Therefore, the net proceeds from the follow-on offering
reduced the revolving  line of credit by $28.3  million,  reduced Term Loan A by
$78.8 million, and reduced Term Loan B by $6.2 million.  There are no prepayment
penalties under the Credit Facility.

         As a result of the repayment, current maturity of debt at June 30, 2000
increased  by $107.0  million and  reduced  working  capital to a negative  $6.6
million from $83.7  million at December 31, 1999.  CoorsTek's  current ratio was
reduced to 0.96 at June 30, 2000 from 2.51 at December 31, 1999.  As of June 30,
2000,  CoorsTek had a total of $49.8  million in cash and  borrowings  available
under the Credit  Facility.  After the repayment,  CoorsTek had $72.8 million of
borrowings available under the Credit Facility.

     Currently,  the interest  rate on the  revolving  line of credit and Senior
Term A facility  is LIBOR  plus 2% and the  interest  rate on the Senior  Term B
facility is LIBOR plus 2.75%.  The interest rate spreads on the Credit  Facility
vary based upon the Company's  financial  performance.  As of June 30, 2000, the
interest rates on the credit facilities were as follows:

* 8.63% for the revolving line of credit
* 8.55% for the Senior Term A facility; and
* 9.30% for the Senior Term Loan B facility.

     The Credit  Facility  contains  customary  covenants,  including  covenants
limiting  indebtedness,  dividends and  distributions  on, and  redemptions  and
repurchases  of, capital stock and other similar  payments,  and the acquisition
and  disposition of assets.  The Credit  Facility also requires that the Company
comply with specified  financial  covenants,  including interest coverage ratios
and  indebtedness  to total  capital  ratios and other  covenants.  CoorsTek  is
currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit facility.

     As of June 30, 2000, there was $216.0 million  outstanding under the Credit
Facility. The majority of the borrowings were used to pay Graphic Packaging,  on
January 4, 2000,  for  intercompany  obligations  and a one-time  dividend.  The
remainder  of the  borrowings  was  used to fund  working  capital  and  capital
expenditures  primarily in the Semiconductor  segment. The unused portion of the
revolving  line of  credit  is  expected  to be used  to  fund  working  capital

     Capital  expenditures  for the six months  ended June 30, 2000 and June 30,
1999  were  $14.6  million  and  $4.0  million,   respectively.   These  capital
expenditures  were  primarily  used for the  addition  of  production  capacity,
computerized manufacturing equipment and enhancing existing computer systems.

FACTORS THAT MAY AFFECT FUTURE RESULTS

          Certain  statements  in  this  document  constitute   "forward-looking
statements"  within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section  21E  of the  Securities  Exchange  Act of  1934.  The  projections  and
statements  contained  in  these  forward-looking  statements  involve  known or
unknown  risks,  uncertainties  and other  factors  that may  cause  the  actual
results, performance or achievements of CoorsTek to be materially different from
any future  results,  performance  or  achievements  expressed or implied by the
forward-looking   statements.   CoorsTek's  future  results  of  operations  and
performance  are  dependent  upon  numerous  factors,  including  the actions of
competitors and customers,  CoorsTek's  ability to execute its marketing  plans,
the ability of CoorsTek to maintain or increase sales to existing  customers and
capture new business,  CoorsTek's ability to successfully  integrate and operate
businesses  that may be acquired in the future,  continued  strength of the U.S.
and key foreign  economies and the relative  position of the U.S. dollar related
to key European and Asian currencies. CoorsTek's ability to achieve its business
strategy is also dependent upon securing adequate financing.  CoorsTek's ability
to increase revenues and operating income is dependent upon continuing its track
record for new product  innovation,  the  availability and pricing of substitute
materials such as metals and plastics, the performance of key industries such as
semiconductor,  automotive and electronics and other factors. CoorsTek's ability
to  successfully  execute its assembly  business  initiative is dependent on its
ability to continue to provide quality and timely manufacturing,  innovation and
service to its  customers.  Because  CoorsTek  has  borrowings  with  adjustable
interest  rates,  its net  income is  sensitive  to  fluctuation  in  short-term
interest rates.  CoorsTek's compliance with the revenue ruling issued by the IRS
in  connection  with  the  spin-off  of  CoorsTek  by  Graphic  Packaging  could
materially impact the future results,  performance or financial condition of the
Company.  The Company's ability to attract and maintain  employees at all levels
of the organization could also materially impact the future results, performance
or financial condition of the Company. CoorsTek derives a significant percentage
of its net sales from a small number of large  customers,  and if the Company is
not able to retain these customers, or they reschedule, reduce or cancel orders,
net  sales  would  be  reduced  and  financial  results  would  suffer.  You are
encouraged  to read the more  detailed  discussions  of risks and  uncertainties
contained  in  CoorsTek's  recent  registration   statement  on  Form  S-1  (No.
333-41802)  and on the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999,
both of which are available on line, free of charge, at www.sec.gov.

Item 3.  QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

CHANGES IN INTEREST RATES WILL IMPACT THE EARNINGS OF COORSTEK.

          CoorsTek had  approximately  $216.0 million of floating  interest rate
debt as of June 30, 2000. As interest rates  fluctuate,  CoorsTek may experience
interest increases,  which may materially impact financial results. For example,
if  applicable  interest  rates were to  increase  or  decrease  1%,  assuming a
constant  principal  amount of debt,  the result would be an annual  increase or
decrease of interest expense of $2.2 million dollars.

CHANGES IN THE RELATIONSHIP  BETWEEN THE U.S. DOLLAR AND FOREIGN  CURRENCIES MAY
IMPACT THE EARNINGS OF COORSTEK.

          For  the  six  months  ended  June  30,  2000  approximately  3.1%  of
CoorsTek's  revenue was  generated  by its  operations  in  Scotland  and Korea.
CoorsTek sells products  directly through its subsidiaries in Scotland and Korea
and through domestic  channels that have end-user  customers located outside the
United States. CoorsTek uses the U.S. dollar as its functional currency,  except
for the  operations in Scotland and Korea.  The assets and  liabilities of these
two foreign  operations are translated into U.S.  dollars at an exchange rate in
effect at the period end date.  Income and expense  items are  translated at the
year-to-date  average  rate.  An  increase in the  exchange  value of the United
States dollar  reduces the value of revenue and profits  generated by CoorsTek's
international  operations in Scotland and Korea.  Periodically,  CoorsTek hedges
the  dollar  against  foreign  currencies  used in  certain  markets in order to
mitigate the effects of adverse currency fluctuations when sales are made in the
foreign  currency.  The  strength of the dollar  relative to the currency of our
customers or competitors may have a material effect on CoorsTek's profit margins
or sales to international customers.
