                    NOTES_TO_CONSOLIDATED_FINANCIAL_STATEMENTS



1.  Unaudited_Consolidated_Financial_Statements

    Certain amounts for preceding periods have been reclassified for 
    comparability with the 1994 presentation.

    The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of June 30, 1994, the 
    consolidated statements of income for the three and six month periods ended 
    June 30, 1994 and 1993 and the consolidated statements of cash flows for 
    the six month periods then ended have been prepared by the Corporation 
    without audit.  In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary to 
    present fairly the financial position, results of operations and cash flows 
    for the periods presented have been made.

    Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial 
    statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting 
    principles have been condensed or omitted.  It is suggested that these 
    consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the 
    consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 
    Corporation's annual report to shareholders for the year ended December 31, 
    1993.  The results of operations for the periods ended June 30, 1994 are 
    not necessarily indicative of the operating results for the full year.

2.  Investments

    On April 2, 1993, Amersham International PLC (Amersham) acquired United 
    States Biochemical Corporation (Biochem), including Ampco-Pittsburgh 
    Corporation's investment therein.  The proceeds to the Corporation were 
    comprised of: cash $6,500,000 and common shares of Amersham valued at 
    $2,300,000.  The Corporation recorded a gain of $6,490,000 with respect to 
    this transaction in the second quarter of 1993.

    In January 1994, the Corporation received a payment of $1,598,000 from 
    Amersham, composed of cash of $814,000 and 52,466 shares of Amersham valued 
    at $784,000 in satisfaction of a contingent purchase price in connection 
    with their 1993 purchase of the Corporation's 20% interest in Biochem.  As 
    no value was assigned previously to the contingent purchase price, the 
    settlement was recorded as a gain.

    During the second quarter of 1994, the Corporation sold 160,000 shares of 
    its holdings in Amersham, realizing proceeds of $2,458,000 and a pre-tax 
    gain of $730,000.  The Corporation has remaining 89,587 shares of Amersham, 
    of which 36,726 shares are restricted from sale until May 1996.

    During the first quarter of 1994, the Corporation sold 243,500 shares of 
    its interest in Northwestern Steel and Wire Company (Northwestern), 
    realizing proceeds of $2,779,000 and a pre-tax gain of $2,659,000.  
    Consistent with the previous accounting for Northwestern, this gain was 
    reflected in discontinued operations net of a deferred tax provision of 
    $931,000.  At June 30, 1994, the Corporation owns 862,831 shares of 
    Northwestern.

<PAGE>

    The Northwestern and unrestricted Amersham shares held by the Corporation 
    have been reclassified as "available for sale" in accordance with SFAS No. 
    115 and reported at fair value, with the unrealized gains included in 
    shareholders' equity.  The excess of market value over carrying value of 
    $6,235,000 at June 30, 1994 has been included in shareholders' equity.

3.  Disposition

    On May 6, 1993, the Corporation sold its air handling operations in the 
    United States, Canada and Mexico to Howden Group, PLC for a cash purchase 
    price of $34,250,000.  The transaction resulted in a loss of $15,491,000.

4.  Litigation

    The Corporation had previously reported on litigation against it in 
    connection with the Chapter 11 filing of Valley-Vulcan Mold Company 
    (Valley), of which a subsidiary of the Corporation is a 50% partner.  On 
    April 4, 1994, the Bankruptcy Court issued a favorable judgment denying all 
    claims against the Corporation.  No reserve had been established for the 
    outcome of this litigation based on the Corporation's belief that it had 
    meritorious defenses.  The plaintiff in the case, the unsecured creditors 
    committee of Valley, has filed a notice of appeal from the Court's 
    decision.

    In addition to the litigation noted above, the Corporation is from time to 
    time subject to routine litigation incidental to its business.  The 
    Corporation believes that the results of the above noted litigation and 
    other pending legal proceedings will not have a materially adverse effect 
    on the Corporation's financial condition or results of operation.

6.  Provision_for_taxes_on_income

    The difference in tax provisions from statutory rates for 1993 were due 
    principally to the capital gain on the sale of Biochem being more than 
    offset by the capital loss from the sale of the air handling operations.

7.  Net_Income_Per_Common_Share

    Net income per common share is computed on the basis of a weighted number 
    of shares of Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation's common stock outstanding, which 
    has remained unchanged at 9,577,621 shares, for the periods presented.

                   MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
                 FINANCIAL_CONDITION_AND_RESULTS_OF_OPERATIONS



Operations for the Six and Three Month
Periods_Ended_June_30,_1994_and_1993__

Net sales of $29,733,000 in the second quarter of 1994 were comparable to 
sales of $29,385,000 in the same period of the prior year.  Net sales for the 
first half of 1994 are lower by 2.4% compared to 1993 due principally to the 
first quarter impact of a strike at Aerofin's heat exchange coil business.  
The order backlog at June 30, 1994 was $62,900,000 compared with $56,200,000 
at December 31, 1993 and $59,200,000 at June 30, 1993.

The cost of products sold relationships for the six and three months ended 
June 30, 1994 were 73.7% and 74.1%, respectively.  This compares with the 
prior comparable periods at 74.2% and 73.5%, respectively.  Year-to-date 
margins have improved modestly; however, further improvement was impacted by 
increased costs of the Aerofin labor dispute.

Selling and administrative expenses declined by $1,275,000 or 13% for the 
year-to-date period and $524,000 or 11% for the second quarter, both compared 
to the prior year.  The decline was primarily due to a combination of staff 
and expense reductions and increased fee income for services provided by the 
Corporation to others.

Due to the above, the income from operations was $3,758,000 and $2,174,000 
for the six and three month periods ended June 30, 1994, respectively.  This 
compares with prior year comparable periods at $2,570,000 and $1,808,000, 
respectively.

For a discussion on the gains on sales of investments, see Notes to Financial 
Statements - Note 2.

Interest expense was lower in the 1994 periods due to the prepayment of bank 
debt in the second quarter of 1993 following the sale of the air handling 
group (AHG).

For a discussion on the provision for taxes on income, see Notes to Financial 
Statements - Note 6.

Discontinued operations include a gain in 1994 from the partial disposition 
of shares held in Northwestern Steel and Wire Company (Northwestern).  (See 
Notes to Financial Statements - Note 2).  The 1993 amounts represent the 
operating results and loss on sale of the AHG.

As a result of all of the above, the Corporation had net income for the six 
and three months ended June 30, 1994 of $5,319,000 and $1,740,000, 
respectively.  This compares with net losses for the prior year comparable 
periods of $8,389,000 and $8,611,000, respectively.

As a result of replacing part of the former workforce at Aerofin, the labor 
dispute, although ongoing, is expected to have less of an impact on earnings 
during the second half of the year.

Liquidity_and_Capital_Resources

Net cash flow from operating activities was positive for the six months ended 
June 30, 1994 at $2,043,000 and compares with positive cash flows of 
$8,633,000 for the comparable period 1993.  Net cash outflow for working 
capital changes and payments associated with discontinued operations was 
$3,884,000 in 1994 compared to net cash inflows of $4,128,000 in 1993.  The 
1994 net cash outflow reflects an increased level of trade receivables 
compared to 1993 due to timing of sales within the quarter.  The 1993 net 
cash inflow included a reduction in working capital for the air handling 
operations prior to sale.

The net cash inflow for investing activities in 1994 includes proceeds from 
the sale of Amersham and Northwestern shares and the contingent purchase 
price receipt from Amersham.

Capital expenditures for 1994 totaled $1,453,000 compared to $1,240,000 in 
1993.  Capital appropriations carried forward from June 30, 1994 total 
$1,784,000.  Capital requirements are expected to be financed from funds 
internally generated.

The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit and a revolving credit 
agreement in excess of the cash needs of its businesses.  The total available 
at June 30, 1994 was $22,000,000.

At June 30, 1994, the Corporation owned 862,831 shares of Northwestern which 
had a market value of $6,471,000.  The Corporation intends to sell its shares 
in Northwestern in an orderly manner, depending on market conditions.  The 
Corporation also owned 89,587 shares of Amersham of which 36,726 shares are 
restricted from sale until May 1996.  Subsequent to the end of the second 
quarter, the 52,861 unrestricted shares of Amersham were sold realizing 
proceeds of $798,000 and a gain of $227,000.

With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has been named a 
potentially responsible party at several sites by federal, state and local 
authorities.  The Corporation has accrued for costs of remedial actions it 
would likely be required to take.  In addition, the Corporation has provided 
for environmental clean-up costs related to preparing its discontinued 
business facilities for sale.  While it is not possible to quantify with 
certainty the potential of actions regarding environmental matters, 
particularly any future remediation and other compliance efforts, in the 
opinion of management, compliance with the present environmental protection 
laws will not have a material adverse effect on the financial condition or 
results of operations of the Corporation.
