                NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                                    (Unaudited)
                      (in thousands, except per share amounts)
                                          
                                          
1.   Financial Statements

     In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed
     consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments necessary to
     present fairly the financial position of the Company as of June 30, 1998,
     and the results of operations and the cash flows for the periods ended June
     30, 1998 and 1997.  Except for the special charges discussed in footnote 3
     and in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and
     Results of Operations, such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. 
     Certain items in the financial statements for the periods ended June 30,
     1997 have been reclassified to conform to the presentation for the periods
     ended June 30, 1998.  The results of operations for the three-month and
     six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.  The balance sheet as of December
     31, 1997 is derived from the audited balance sheet as of that date.  For
     further information, refer to the financial statements and footnotes
     thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
     ended December 31, 1997.

2.   Restatement of 1998 Financial Statements

     The accompanying financial statements for the three and six month 
     periods ended June 30, 1998 have been restated to give effect to the 
     restatement of the charge taken in the quarter ended June 30, 1998 for 
     acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) purchased as part of
     the acquisition of Orcolite (see footnote 9). This charge, originally 
     recorded at $11 million (pre-tax), was reduced by $1.5 million and restated
     to $9.5 million (pre-tax) in order to comply with Securities and Exchange
     Commission intrepretations regarding techniques used to value IPR&D issued
     later in 1998. The effect of the restatement reduced the net loss from
     amounts previously reported by $970 and the net loss per share by $0.03 for
     both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 1998. The pro forma
     amounts reflected in footnote 9 have also been restated to reflect the
     above restatement and to be consistent with the pro forma amounts presented
     in the 1998 year-end financial statements.

3.   Impairment of Long-Lived Assets/Acquired Research and Development

     In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 
     No. 121 (Statement No. 121), ACCOUNTING FOR THE IMPAIRMENT OF 
     LONG-LIVED ASSETS, the Company recorded a charge of $26.7 million 
     ($42.8 million pre-tax) during the quarter for the write-down of 
     certain Precision Imaged Products (PIP) operations fixed assets, 
     primarily those related to the production of computer monitor masks.  
     Statement No. 121 prescribes that an impairment loss should be 
     recognized in the event that facts and circumstances indicate that the 
     carrying amount of an asset may not be recoverable, and the estimated 
     future undiscounted cash flows related to the asset are less than the 
     carrying amount of the asset.  After careful assessment of various 
     factors relevant to these assets, including the computer monitor mask 
     market, management determined it was appropriate to write-down the 
     value of these assets and, accordingly, such assets were written down 
     to estimated fair value in accordance with Statement No. 121.
     
     In addition, in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
     principles, the independently appraised value of acquired in-process 
     research and development purchased in conjunction with the Orcolite 
     acquisition, was written-off as a charge of $6.0 million ($9.5 million 
     pre-tax) during the quarter ended June 30, 1998.  See footnote 9 for 
     further discussion.

5.   Credit Facilities
     
     During the second quarter of 1998, the Company entered into a new credit 
     agreement, as amended in July 1998 (the Agreement), with a syndicate of 
     banks for secured borrowings totaling up to $250 million. Borrowings 
     under the Agreement bear interest at the Eurodollar Rate plus 0.5% to 
     1.625% (7.0625% at June 30, 1998).  The rate spread is dependent upon 
     the Company's ratio of debt to cash flow, as defined.  In addition, the 
     Company pays a facility fee on unborrowed funds at rates ranging from 
     0.225% to 0.475% (0.425% at June 30, 1998), depending on the Company's 
     debt to cash flow ratio.  Under terms of the Agreement, the Company must 
     meet certain financial covenants, including maintaining a specified 
     consolidated net worth, leverage ratio (debt to cash flow), interest 
     coverage ratio and level of capital expenditures.  The Company is in 
     compliance with all covenants under the Agreement and had borrowings of 
     $206 million under the Agreement at June 30, 1998.
     
     At June 30, 1998, the Company also had long-term and short-term borrowings
     of $10.7 million under the credit facilities of approximately $19.0 
     million maintained by the Company's German subsidiary and other debt 
     totaling approximately $3.4 million.  The German and other debt amounts 
     are more completely described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
     as of December 31, 1997.

6.   Earnings Per Share

     In 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued SFAS No.
     128, EARNINGS PER SHARE (Statement No. 128).  Statement No. 128 replaced
     the calculation of primary and fully diluted earnings per share with basic
     and diluted earnings per share.  Unlike primary earnings per share, basic
     earnings per share excludes the dilutive effects of stock options and any
     other dilutive securities.  Diluted earnings per share is very similar to
     the previously reported fully diluted earnings per share.  For the
     Company's earnings per share calculations, the basic and diluted weighted
     average outstanding shares differ only due to the dilutive impact of stock
     options.  All earnings per share amounts for all periods have been restated
     to conform to the Statement No. 128 requirements.
     
7.   Derivative Financial Instruments

     In January 1997, the SEC issued new rules related to disclosures about
     derivative financial instruments.  The new rules, effective for all
     financial statements issued for periods ending after June 15, 1997, require
     accounting policy disclosures about derivative financial instruments used
     by the Company.  Effective for fiscal years ending after June 15, 1998, the
     new rules also require quantitative and qualitative disclosures about
     exposures to market risk from derivative financial instruments.
     
     Derivative financial instruments are used by the Company to reduce foreign
     exchange and interest rate risks.
     
     Foreign Currency Exchange Options - As of June 30, 1998, there were no
     outstanding foreign currency exchange options.  As of December 31, 1997,
     the Company had approximately $3.6 million of outstanding foreign currency
     exchange options to exchange U.S. dollars for German marks at a set
     exchange rate.  These foreign exchange options do not expose the Company to
     financial risk as the contracts provide an option to exchange the
     currencies, but do not obligate the Company to make a foreign currency
     exchange.  Premiums paid for foreign currency exchange options are
     amortized to Other Expense over the life of the options.  Upon exercise of
     foreign currency exchange options, gains are included in income.
     

                                 Page 6

<PAGE>

     Interest Rate Swaps - In March 1997, the Company entered into an 
     interest rate swap agreement that allows the Company to swap a variable 
     interest rate for a fixed interest rate of 6.365% (7.74% including 
     current spread of 1.375%) on $15 million of notional debt during a 
     period ending March, 1999. Subsequent to June 30, 1998, the Company 
     entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements for a total of 
     $100 million of notional debt which provide for the Company to swap a 
     variable interest rate for fixed interest rates ranging from 5.74% to 
     5.76% plus a specified spread depending on the swap involved (7.12% to 
     7.14% including current spread of 1.375%).  These swaps expire at 
     various dates ranging from July 1999 to August 2000.
     
     The notional amount of debt is not a measure of the Company's exposure to 
     credit or market risks and is not included in the condensed consolidated 
     balance sheet.  Fixing the interest rate minimizes the Company's exposure 
     to the uncertainty of floating interest rates during this period.  Amounts 
     to be paid or received under the interest rate swap agreements are accrued
     and recorded as an adjustment to Interest Expense during the term of the 
     interest rate swap agreement.

8.   Comprehensive Income

     As of January 1, 1998, the Company adopted SFAS No. 130, REPORTING
     COMPREHENSIVE INCOME (Statement No. 130).  Statement No. 130 establishes
     new rules for the reporting and display of comprehensive income and its
     components; however, the adoption of this Statement had no impact on the
     Company's net income or stockholders' equity.  Statement No. 130 requires
     foreign currency translation adjustments, which prior to adoption were
     reported separately in stockholders' equity, to be included in other
     comprehensive income.  Prior year financial statements have been
     reclassified to conform to the requirements of Statement No. 130.
     
     The components of comprehensive income, net of related tax, for 
     the three-month and six-month periods ended June 30, 1998 and 1997 are 
     as follows:

9.   Business Acquisition

     On May 15, 1998, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary,
     acquired the Orcolite business unit of the Monsanto Company for the cash
     purchase price of $101 million. For financial statement purposes, the
     acquisition has been accounted for under the purchase method of accounting
     with the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net
     tangible assets acquired recorded as intangible assets which are being
     amortized over periods ranging from 7 to 30 years.  In addition, as a
     result of the acquisition, a $9.5 million (pre-tax) charge was taken after
     the close of the acquisition in the second quarter of 1998 related to the
     write-off of acquired in-process research and development.  The following
     unaudited pro forma information presents a summary of consolidated results
     of operations of the Company and the Orcolite business unit as if the
     acquisition had occurred at the beginning of fiscal 1997, with pro forma
     adjustments to give effect to amortization of goodwill and other intangible
     assets, depreciation expense on the fair value of property, plant and
     equipment and interest expense on acquisition debt, together with the
     related income tax effects.  The pro forma adjustments do not include the
     $9.5 million write-off of acquired in-process research and development
     mentioned above.

     The unaudited pro forma condensed combined financial information above is
     not necessarily indicative of what actual results would have been had the
     acquisition occurred at the date indicated or indicative of the results
     that may be expected for the full year ended December 31, 1998.  Also,
     numerous business synergies are projected as a result of the acquisition,
     including the following: consolidation of selling, marketing,
     distribution, customer service and administrative functions; consolidation
     of research and development and technical services functions; optimization
     of combined production capacity; and improved purchasing leverage.  The
     anticipated financial impact resulting from such synergies has not been
     reflected in the above pro forma financial information.  See the 
     Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K as filed on April 3, 1998 and 
     May 29, 1998, and Current Reports on Form 8-K/A filed on July 29, 1998, 
     for additional information regarding the acquisition. 

10.  New Accounting Standards

     In June 1997, the FASB issued SFAS No. 131, DISCLOSURES ABOUT SEGMENTS OF
     AN ENTERPRISE AND RELATED INFORMATION.  This statement requires additional
     disclosure only, and as such, is not expected to change net income or
     stockholders' equity as previously reported by the Company.  The statement
     is effective for the Company's fiscal year ended December 31, 1998.


11.  Legal Matters

     There are no material changes in the status of the Barth Industries legal
     proceeding or any other legal proceeding or environmental matter described
     in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1997.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

COMPARISON OF THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

Total revenues for the second quarter of 1998 increased $4.7 million or 6% 
from the second quarter of 1997.  Revenues of the Precision Imaged Products 
(PIP) group for the second quarter decreased 4% from the prior year period. 
Television mask unit sales were up slightly over second quarter 1997; however 
sales dollars were down 22% from the prior year period due primarily to a 
sales mix shift from invar to AK masks and overall price reductions. Computer 
monitor mask sales increased to $10.2 million in the second quarter of 1998 
compared to $2.3 million in the second quarter of 1997.  For the quarter, 
sales of jumbo (30" and larger) television masks were down 29% and large (25" 
to 29") television masks were down 22% from the prior year period.  Invar 
television mask sales were down 48% for the quarter. Including the impact of 
the Orcolite acquisition, which was completed in May, revenues of the Optical 
Products group increased 34% over the same quarter in the prior year driven 
by continued strong sales of high-end products (polycarbonate, high-index, 
progressive and polarizing sun lenses) which increased 83% in the second 
quarter of 1998 compared to the second quarter of 1997.  Excluding Orcolite, 
sales of high-end products grew 34% during the same period.

Cost of sales were 97% and 73% of revenues for the second quarter of 1998 and 
1997, respectively.  The increased cost of sales percentage was due 
primarily to Mask Operations and includes unusual charges of $9.7 million 
pre-tax primarily to establish additional inventory reserves, move certain 
mask inspection operations and for early mask line shutdowns and layoffs.  In 
addition, soft market conditions experienced by Mask Operations resulted in 
pricing pressure in the mask marketplace and lower demand than expected for 
both television and computer monitor masks. 

Selling expenses were $3.9 million or 4.6% of revenues and $2.7 million or 
3.4% of revenues for the second quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The 
increase is primarily due to higher selling costs associated with the Optical 
Products group, principally for selling expenses related to the new premium 
line of Tegra-Registered Trademark- polycarbonate lenses.

The impairment of long-lived assets of $42.8 million reflects the write-down 
of the value of certain PIP Operations fixed assets, primarily those related 
to the production of computer monitor masks.  In accordance with Statement of 
Financial Accounting Standards No. 121 (Statement No. 121) ACCOUNTING FOR THE 
IMPAIRMENT OF LONG-LIVED ASSETS, the Company recorded a charge of $26.7 
million ($42.8 million pre-tax) during the quarter for write-down of these 
fixed assets.  After careful assessment of various factors relevant to these 
assets, including the computer monitor mask market, management determined it 
was appropriate to write-down the value of these assets and, accordingly, 
such assets were written down to estimated fair value in accordance with 
Statement No. 121. 

In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, the 
independently appraised value of acquired in-process research and development 
purchased in conjunction with the Orcolite acquisition, was written-off as a 
charge of $6.0 million ($9.5 million pre-tax) during the quarter.  See 
footnote 9 for further discussion.

Interest expense in the second quarter of 1998 was $4.3 million compared to 
$0.2 million in the second quarter of 1997.  This increase was due primarily 
to the increased debt level, debt placement underwriting fees associated with 


                                 Page 9

<PAGE>

the Orcolite acquisition and the completion of major capital projects that no 
longer qualify for the capitalization of interest.  The increased debt level 
resulted primarily from the cash purchase of Orcolite for $101.0 million and 
capital spending for expansion projects which were completed in 1997. 

The provision for income taxes was 38% and 33% of pre-tax income in the 
second quarter of 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The second quarter 1998 tax 
rate reflects the effective rate for pre-tax losses plus the benefit of a 
foreign tax credit for dividends received from the Company's German 
subsidiary.  The second quarter 1997 tax rate was lower because it reflects the
effective tax rate on pre-tax income less the benefit of a foreign tax credit 
for dividends received from the Company's German subsidiary as well as the 
benefit from the reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The 
tax rate for the remainder of 1998 is currently anticipated to be 
approximately 38%.

COMPARISON OF SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 1998 AND 1997

Total revenues for the first six months of 1998 increased $7.6 million or 5% 
from the first six months of 1997.  Revenues of the PIP group were down $1.1 
million or less than 1% during the same period.  Television mask unit sales 
were up 9% over the first six months of 1997; however sales dollars were down 
17% from the prior year due primarily to a sales mix shift from invar to AK 
masks and overall price reductions. Computer monitor mask sales increased to 
$18.0 million in the first six months of 1998 compared to $5.5 million in the 
first six months of 1997.  For the first six months of 1998, sales of jumbo 
(30" and larger) television masks were down 10% and large (25" to 29") 
television masks were down 24% from the prior year period.  Invar mask sales 
were down 46% during the same period.  The weakening of the German mark 
relative to the U.S. dollar had virtually no impact on earnings but reduced 
sales, as compared with the prior year, by $2.6 million.  Including the 
impact of the Orcolite acquisition, which was completed in May, revenues of 
the Optical Products group increased 21% over the same period in the prior 
year driven by continued strong sales of high-end products (polycarbonate, 
high-index, progressive and polarizing sun lenses) which increased 55% in the 
first half of 1998 compared to the first half of 1997.  Excluding Orcolite, 
sales of high-end products grew 30% during the same period.

Cost of sales were 91% and 76% of revenues for the first six months of 1998 
and 1997, respectively. The increased cost of sales percentage was due 
primarily to Mask Operations and includes unusual charges of $9.7 million 
pre-tax primarily to establish additional inventory reserves, move certain 
mask inspection operations and for early mask line shutdowns and layoffs.   
In addition, significant start-up costs were incurred on the new computer 
monitor mask line in Cortland, New York in the first quarter of 1998.  This, 
combined with soft market conditions experienced by Mask Operations which 
resulted in pricing pressure in the mask marketplace, contributed to the 
increased cost of sales percentage.  The Optical Products group gross margins 
were consistent with the prior year period. 

Selling expenses were $7.2 million or 4.4% of revenues and $5.6 million or 
3.5% of revenues for the first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.  
The increase is primarily due to higher selling costs associated with the 
Optical Products group, principally for selling expenses related to the 
new premium line of Tegra-Registered Trademark- polycarbonate lenses.

The impairment of long-lived assets of $42.8 million reflects the write-down 
of the value of certain PIP Operations fixed assets as discussed above. 

The charge of $9.5 million represents the value of acquired in-process 
research and development purchased in conjunction with the Orcolite 
acquisition as discussed above.


                                 Page 10

<PAGE>

Interest expense in the first six months of 1998 was $5.7 million compared to 
$0.3 million in the first six months of 1997.  This increase is due primarily 
to the increased debt level, debt placement underwriting fees associated with 
the Orcolite acquisition and the completion of major capital projects that no 
longer qualify for the capitalization of interest. The increased debt level 
resulted primarily from the cash purchase of Orcolite for $101 million and 
capital spending for expansion projects which were completed in 1997. 

The provision for income taxes was 38% and 33% of pre-tax income for the 
first six months of 1998 and 1997, respectively.  The first half 1998 tax 
rate reflects the effective rate for pre-tax losses plus the benefit of a
foreign tax credit for dividends received from the Company's German 
subsidiary.  The first half 1997 tax rate was lower because it reflects the 
standard tax rate on pre-tax income less the benefit of a foreign tax credit 
for dividends received from the Company's German subsidiary as well as the 
benefit from the reduction of the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The 
tax rate for the remainder of 1998 is currently anticipated to be 
approximately 38%.

FINANCIAL POSITION AND LIQUIDITY

Debt, net of cash and cash equivalents, increased $145.0 million during the 
first six months of 1998.  The increased debt level was due primarily to the 
acquisition of Orcolite, the $16.6 million stock repurchase in January 1998, 
capital spending and increased levels of working capital. Due primarily to the 
increases in accounts receivable and inventory, working capital was $110.6 
million at June 30, 1998 compared to $74.9 million at December 31, 1997.  The 
increased inventory was due primarily to the Orcolite acquisition, increased 
raw material levels to support a broader product line at Mask Operations and 
lower Mask Operations sales than forecast which resulted in an unfavorable 
build in Mask Operations inventories.  The increased accounts receivable 
levels were due primarily to the acquisition of Orcolite and increased sales 
in the second quarter of 1998 versus the fourth quarter of 1997. The current 
ratio was 3.1 at June 30, 1998, compared to 2.6 at December 31, 1997.  The 
ratio of debt to equity increased to 1.7 at June 30, 1998 compared to 0.4 at 
December 31, 1997 due to the increased debt levels, the reduction in equity 
resulting from second quarter 1998 charges and the January 1998 stock 
repurchase.

During the six months ended June 30, 1998, the Company had $11.5 million of 
capital spending and expects a total of $25.0 to $30.0 million of capital 
spending for the full year of 1998.  The Company has a total of approximately 
$270.0 million in revolving credit facilities.  The unused portion of these 
facilities, along with cash generated from operations, is currently expected 
to be sufficient to meet the Company's future capital and operating 
requirements.  See footnote 4 for details of current credit facilities.

FOREIGN CURRENCY

Fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, principally the German mark 
versus the U.S. dollar and to a lesser extent, the Indonesia rupiah and the 
Hungarian forint, may affect the Company's financial results.  The Company's 
German subsidiary has a large portion of its sales denominated in U.S. 
dollars. As most of the German subsidiary's expenses are denominated in the 
German mark, this represents the most significant element of the Company's 
exposure to currency rate fluctuations.  This exposure is generally addressed 
as needed through the purchase of forward contracts and options.  As of June 
30, 1998, the Company had no forward options or contracts.

Exposure to foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations also may exist with 
respect to intercompany transactions with the Company's German, Indonesian 
and Hungarian operations. 


                                 Page 11

<PAGE>

The Company also has an indirect exposure to Asian currencies, primarily the 
Japanese yen and the Korean won, because the Mask Operations' most 
significant competitors are Japanese and Korean manufacturers.

INTEREST RATE SWAPS

In March 1997, the Company entered into an interest rate swap agreement that 
allows the Company to swap a variable interest rate for a fixed interest rate 
of 6.365% (7.74% including current spread of 1.375%) on $15.0 million of 
notional debt during the period ending March 1999. Subsequent to June 30, 
1998, the Company entered into multiple interest rate swap agreements for a 
total of $100 million of notional debt which provide for the Company to swap 
a variable interest rate for fixed interest rates ranging from 5.74% to 5.76% 
plus a specified spread depending on the swap involved (7.12% to 7.14% 
including current spread of 1.375%).  These swaps expire at various dates 
ranging from July 1999 to August 2000. These swaps are discussed more fully 
in footnote 6.

ENVIRONMENTAL

There are no material changes in the status of the legal proceedings and 
environmental matters described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K 
for the year ended December 31, 1997.

ACQUISITIONS

On May 15, 1998, the Company, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, acquired 
Orcolite, a division of Monsanto Company which produces polycarbonate and 
plastic ophthalmic lenses, for $101.0 million in cash.  Orcolite, 
headquartered in Azusa, California, had sales of $38.0 million for the twelve 
months ended March 31, 1998 and is well regarded in the ophthalmic lens 
industry for its manufacturing abilities, product innovation and customer 
service.  See footnote 9 and the Company's Current Reports on Form 8-K as 
filed on April 3, 1998 and May 29, 1998, and Current Report on Form 8-K/A 
filed on July 29, 1998, for additional information regarding the acquisition.

MASK OPERATIONS EXTENDED SHUTDOWN

During the second quarter of 1998, the Company announced plans to shut down 
certain Mask Operations production lines for an extended period of time. 
These shutdowns are being done in conjunction with the Company's normal 
summer maintenance shutdowns to avoid additional ramp-up time. The actual 
shutdown time for these lines will depend on customer order levels. 

CAUTIONARY STATEMENTS

Certain statements included in this Discussion and Analysis of Financial 
Condition and Results of Operations and elsewhere in this Form 10-Q by the 
Company or its representatives, as well as other communications, including 
reports to shareholders, news releases and presentations to securities 
analysts or investors, contain forward-looking statements made in good faith 
by the Company pursuant to the "Safe Harbor" provisions of the PRIVATE 
SECURITIES LITIGATION REFORM ACT OF 1995.  These statements relate to 
non-historical information which are subject to certain risks and 
uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those 
presently anticipated or projected.  The Company wishes to caution the reader 


                                 Page 12

<PAGE>
not to place undo reliance on any such forward-looking statements.  These 
statements are qualified by important factors listed separately in "Item 1 - 
Business" of the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1997, 
which in some cases have affected and in the future could adversely affect 
the Company's actual results and could cause the Company's actual financial 
performance to differ materially from that expressed in any forward-looking 
statement. In addition to those factors listed in the Company's Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 31, 1997, the Company's future performance may be 
subject to additional risks, including integration of the Orcolite 
acquisition, lower demand for televisions and computer monitors, further mask 
price declines, inability to penetrate the lead frame market, higher 
operating expenses and lower yields associated with production start-up, 
foreign currency fluctuations, successful customer part qualifications and 
the effect of the economic uncertainty in Asia. These factors should not, 
however, be considered an exhaustive list.  The Company does not undertake 
the responsibility to update any forward-looking statement that may be made 
from time to time by or on behalf of the Company.
