                          EAGLE-PICHER INDUSTRIES, 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 nine month periods ended August 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 six and three month periods ended August 31, 1998 and February 28,
1998 (Predecessor), respectively, included in the Condensed Consolidated
Statements of Income (Loss) and of Cash Flows are presented for comparison to
the nine months ended August 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 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 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.

      The following pro forma information for the nine months ended August 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.

      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 ("Credit Agreement"), 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.

      Both the Credit Agreement and the Subordinated Notes are guaranteed on a
full, unconditional and joint and several basis by certain of the Company's
wholly-owned domestic subsidiaries ("Guarantors"). Management has determined
that full financial statements of the Guarantors would not be material to
investors and such financial statements are not presented. The following
supplemental condensed combining financial statements present information
regarding the Guarantors, the issuer of the debt and the subsidiaries that did
not guarantee the debt.

        NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
                                   (CONTINUED)



C.  BASIC AND DILUTED EARNINGS PER SHARE

      The calculation of net income (loss) per share is based upon the average
number of common shares outstanding, which was 9,555,560 in the three months
ended February 28, 1998, 10,000,000 in the three months and nine months ended
August 31, 1997, and 100 in the three months and six months ended August 31,
1998. In 1998, 100 shares were outstanding after the acquisition. Prior to the
acquisition, 10,000,000 shares were outstanding. No potential common stock was
outstanding during the nine months ended August 31, 1998 and 1997.

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 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.

F.  SUBSEQUENT EVENT

      On September 28, 1998, the Committee of the Incentive Stock Plan of
Eagle-Picher Industries, Inc. ("Stock Plan") voted to amend the Stock Plan to
accelerate the vesting of all participants, which was to take place in various
increments through 2001, so that all participants will be fully vested as of
November 1, 1998. This action will result in additional management expense of
approximately $3.3 million in the fourth quarter over what would have been
recognized if the Stock Plan had not been amended.

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 $206.4 million for the third
quarter ended August 31, 1998, a decrease of $10.4 million or 4.8% from the
comparable period of 1997. Included in the results of the third quarter of 1997
are $13.7 million of sales of the Divested Divisions, which, if excluded, would
result in an increase in the Company's quarterly net sales of approximately
1.6%.

      Net sales of Industrial products, excluding net sales of the Divested
Divisions, decreased 22.4% in the third quarter of 1998 from the comparable
period in 1997, due primarily to decreased prices 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, its 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 third quarter of 1998, excluding
the Divested Divisions, increased 8.2% due in part to increases in demand for
heavy-duty fork lift trucks and wheel tractor scrapers. Sales of special purpose
batteries are comparable to those of the same period in 1997.

      The Automotive Group's net sales, excluding the Divested Divisions,
increased 8.7% 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 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, 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. In 1998, these results were further
depressed by the strike by the United Auto Workers at certain General Motors
Corporation ("GM") plants and the resulting closure of other GM plants. Some of
the Automotive Group operations experienced lay-offs as a result of the strike
at GM. It is estimated that the Company lost approximately $7.0 million in
revenue and $2.5 million in operating income during the strike.

      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.

      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 $10.6 million or 6.1% from the third 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 79.7%
in the third quarter of 1997 to 79.2% in the third quarter of 1998. Reasons for
this decline include improved performance at certain start-up operations,
increased operating efficiencies and changes in product mix in certain
operations in the Machinery Group.





                                       23

      Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses increased
by $.6 million or 3.1% in the quarter ended August 31, 1998 from the quarter
ended August 31, 1997. Excluding results of Divested Divisions, these expenses
increased $1.3 million or 7.9% 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 August 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 decreased from $25.1 million in the three months ended August 31,
1997 to $24.8 million for the same period in 1998 or 1.2%. After excluding the
results of Divested Divisions, EBITDA increased .8%.

      In the third quarter of 1998, EBITDA for the Industrial Group declined to
$7.0 million from $8.1 million in the comparable period of 1997. Excluding the
results of Divested Divisions, this decline was $.5 million or 6.7% on a 22.4%
decrease in sales. As previously mentioned, although lower germanium prices have
contributed to reduced sales, EBITDA has remained relatively consistent for
these operations as did results at other Industrial Group operations.

      In the Machinery Group, EBITDA increased from $6.6 million in the third
quarter of 1997 to $9.6 million in the same period of 1998. Excluding results of
the Divested Divisions, the increase was $3.2 million. Reasons for this increase
include improved efficiencies at operations manufacturing special-purpose
batteries and at the aluminum foundry, and a shift in product mix at operations
manufacturing construction and other industrial equipment.

      EBITDA for the Automotive Group increased to $13.5 million in the third
quarter of 1998 from $13.1 million in the same period in the prior year.
Excluding the results of Divested Divisions, the increase was .7%. Any increases
in EBITDA resulting from the increased volumes previously discussed have been
offset by losses related to the GM strike situation.

      Interest Expense. Interest expense for the three months ended August 31,
1998 and 1997 was $12.1 million and $7.5 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

      Since the Acquisition, the Company has generated cash from operations of
$63.9 million which has enabled it to repay a net amount of $46.7 million in
debt and expend $16.1 million for capital. Significant factors contributing to
cash provided by operations include:

      1) the receipt of $13.7 million from an insurance company in settlement
         of certain claims relating primarily to environmental remediation
         expenses;
      2) a $15.2 million reduction of accounts receivable from what were
         considered high levels at February 28, 1998 to more normal levels at
         August 31, 1998;
      3) the funding of approximately $8.0 million of employee health care
         expenses from a trust that had been earmarked for this purpose rather
         than from Company funds; and
      4) the accrual of $10.3 million in interest (which was paid September 1,
         1998) relating to the Senior Subordinated Notes.


                                       24

<PAGE>   25




      The Company's liquidity needs are primarily for capital maintenance and
debt service. With the exception of an expansion at a plant manufacturing
industrial machinery, capital expenditures in the six months ended August 31,
1998 have been primarily for capital maintenance. The Company anticipates that
capital spending will be approximately $9.0 to $11.0 million in the fourth
quarter of 1998. The Company has scheduled debt payments of $2.7 million in the
fourth quarter of 1998 and $10.4 million in 1999.

      The Company has entered into a letter of intent for the sale of its Trim
Division for $14.5 million in cash. The transaction is conditioned on, among
other things, the buyer's due diligence investigation and the buyer obtaining
financing. There is not assurance that this transaction will be completed on
these terms. If consummated, the transaction is not expected to result in a 
material gain or loss.

      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 Year 2000 problem arose because many existing computer programs use
only the last two digits to refer to a year. Therefore, these computer programs
do not properly recognize a year that begins with "20." If not corrected, many
computer programs could fail or cause erroneous results. Failures of this nature
could cause interruptions to manufacturing processes, business and financial
functions and communications with customers and suppliers.

      Due to the diverse nature of the Company's operations, each operating
division has its own discrete computer systems. The Company is performing a
comprehensive review to identify the systems affected by the Year 2000 issue.
The Company is assessing its information technology systems such as business
computing systems, end user computer systems and technical infrastructure, as
well as embedded systems commonly found in manufacturing and service equipment,
testing equipment and environmental operations. The assessments also include the
Company's products and evaluation of the readiness of its suppliers and service
providers.

       The review of each of the systems involves a five step process. The
Company first inventories areas of potential risk based on comparison to
published industry guidelines. Each component identified in the inventory is
then evaluated for its risk of failure and the impact of potential failure to
the Company's operations and its customers. Once the risks are assessed,
remediation is commenced. Options for remediation may include replacement,
modification or continued use depending on information gathered during the
inventory and assessment stages. The remediated system is then tested and
reviewed before the determination is made as to the readiness of the system. A
project committee meets regularly to review the status of the investigation into
and resolution of Year 2000 issues. Most of the Company's divisions have
completed the inventory and assessment phases and are working on remediation and
testing. The remaining divisions have the inventory and assessment phases
underway. The Company expects that all divisions will have completed the
inventory and assessment phases by February 28, 1999 and will have implemented
initial remediation attempts and testing by June 30, 1999.

      The Company's remaining costs to remediate the Year 2000 problem are not
expected to exceed $4.0 million. Of this amount, approximately $1.5 million will
be spent in the form of capital for systems replacement and approximately $1.0
million will be incremental costs. The remaining costs relate to the
redeployment of the Company's existing resources to assess and remediate the
Year 2000 problem. Projects being deferred by this issue include items such as
system enhancements that would improve performance or functionality. The impact
on net income (loss) to date has not been material.




                                       25

<PAGE>   26



      The Company suspects its greatest risk lies within its financial computer
systems and Electronic Data Interchange ("EDI") capabilities with its customers
and suppliers. The Company relies on customer requirements and outside services
for most of its EDI capabilities and therefore is dependent on such parties
addressing Year 2000 issues. If these systems were to fail, the Company would
encounter difficulty performing functions such as compiling financial data,
invoicing customers, accepting electronic customer orders or informing customers
of shipment electronically. While some of these functions could be performed
manually, the Company presently is not certain what the extent of the impact on
operations would be. There is also risk associated with certain suppliers,
including utility companies, over which the Company has little control. The
Company is presently working on contingency plans to address issues related to
potential failures of critical systems due to Year 2000 problems, and it expects
to have those plans in place by May 31, 1999.

      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 not 
materially impair the Company's ability to conduct business.

EURO CONVERSION

      The Company has both operating divisions and domestic export customers
located in Europe. In 1997, combined revenues from these sources was
approximately 13% of total revenues. Revenues involving countries participating
in the Euro conversion were somewhat lower. The Company is currently assessing
the impact of the Euro conversion on its operations.

      The Company's European operations are taking steps to ensure their
capability of entering Euro transactions as of January 1, 1999. It is not
anticipated that changes to information technology and other systems which are
necessary to enter these transaction will be material. The affected operations
plan to make the Euro the functional currency sometime during the transition
period.

      It is difficult to assess the competitive impact of the Euro conversion on
the Company's operations. In some markets, where customers already appear to be
considering the exchange rates when considering prices, this process may be
accelerated. In other markets, where sales are made in U.S. dollars, there may
be pressures to denominate sales in the Euro, however, exchange risks resulting
from these transactions would be hedged.



FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

      This Form 10-Q contains statements which, to the extent that they are not
recitations of historical fact, constitute "forward looking statements" within
the meaning of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. The words
"estimate," "anticipate," "project," "intend," "believe," "expect," and similar
expressions are intended to identify forward looking statements. Such

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. In addition, the Company has a revolving loan
facility that had a balance of $35 million at August 31, 1998, which also bears
interest at the variable rates described above. Accordingly, a 1% increase in an
applicable index rate would result in additional interest expense of $1.1 
million per year assuming no change in the level of borrowing under the
revolving loan facility.
