   3.  Comprehensive Income
   
       The Corporation adopted Statement of Financial
       Accounting Standards No. 130, "Reporting Comprehensive
       Income", effective January 1, 1998.  This Statement
       establishes standards for reporting and display of
       comprehensive income and its components in the financial
       statements.  The Corporation's comprehensive income for
       the six and three months ended June 30, 1998 and 1997
       consisted of:

   4.  Basic Earnings Per Share
   
       Basic earnings per share is computed on the basis of the
       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.  Currently there are no potentially dilutive
       securities; accordingly, basic earnings per share and
       dilutive earnings per share are equivalent.
   
   5.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards
   
       In September 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards
       Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting
       Standards (SFAS) No. 131, "Disclosures about Segments of
       an Enterprise and Related Information".  SFAS No. 131
       requires certain disclosures about segment information
       in interim and annual financial statements and related
       information about products and services, geographic
       areas and major customers.  Generally, financial
       information is required to be reported on the basis that
       it is used internally for evaluating segment performance
       and deciding how to allocate resources to segments.  The
       Corporation must adopt the provisions of SFAS No. 131
       for its consolidated financial statements for the year
       ending December 31, 1998.  The adoption of SFAS No. 131
       will not effect the measurement of the Corporation's
       financial position, results of operations or cash flows;
       the Corporation is reviewing possible changes in
       disclosures that may be necessary.
   
       In March 1998, the American Institute of Certified
       Public Accountants issued Statement of Position 98-1,
       "Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed
       or Obtained for Internal Use" ("SOP 98-1").  SOP 98-1
       addresses costs incurred in connection with the
       implementation of internal-use software, and specifies
       the circumstances under which such costs should be
   
   
                          - 7 -
                                  
   
   <PAGE>
   
          capitalized or expensed.  The Corporation will be
          required to adopt SOP 98-1 in the first quarter of 1999. 
          Adoption of SOP 98-1 will not have a material impact on
          the financial position, results of operations or cash
          flows of the Corporation.
   
          In June 1998, the FASB issued SFAS No. 133, "Accounting
          for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities". 
          This pronouncement requires all derivative instruments
          to be reported at fair value on the balance sheet;
          depending on the nature of the derivative instrument,
          changes in fair value will be recognized either in net
          income or as an element of comprehensive income.  SFAS
          No. 133 is first effective for the Corporation for the
          year ending December 31, 2000.  The Corporation does not
          engage in significant activity with respect to
          derivative instruments or hedging activities and
          management does not anticipate adoption of SFAS No. 133
          will have a material impact on the financial position, 
          results of operations or cash flows of the Corporation.

                 AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                                  
   
   
   Operations for the Six and Three Month Periods Ended
   June 30, 1998 and 1997                              
   
   Net sales for the six and three month periods of 1998 were
   $95,371,000 and $46,773,000 compared to $83,925,000 and
   $43,091,000 for the same periods of the prior year. 
   Excluding the impact of the previous year acquisitions of
   F. R. Gross and Atlantic Grinding and Welding, which were
   not included in the first half of 1997, overall sales
   increased by 5.1% for the first half and declined by 0.8%
   for the second quarter compared to the prior year.  In
   addition to the modest decline in shipments during the
   second quarter, several operations experienced a slowdown
   in orders, principally due to the turmoil in Asia and the
   strength of the dollar impacting the Corporation's export
   markets.  The order backlog stood at $107,900,000 at June
   30, 1998 compared to $115,200,000 at December 31, 1997. 
   The reduction in the backlog is due primarily to a decrease
   in forged hardened steel roll orders from overseas
   customers.
   
   The cost of products sold relationships for the six and
   three months ended June 30, 1998 were 67.7% and 67.9%,
   respectively.  This compares with the prior comparable
   periods at 68.6% and 68.9%, respectively.  A more
   profitable sales mix resulted in improved ratios of cost of
   products sold to sales in 1998.
   
   Selling and administrative expenses in 1998 increased by
   $1,784,000 for the year-to-date period and $897,000 for the
   second quarter, both compared to the prior year.  The
   increase is principally due to the inclusion of the
   acquired companies in 1998.  The relationships of selling
   and administrative expenses to net sales for the six and
   three months ended June 30, 1998 were 14.3% and 14.6%,
   respectively.  This compares with the prior comparable
   periods at 14.1% and 13.8%, respectively.
   
   Depreciation expense of $3,852,000 and $1,933,000 for the
   six and three months ended June 30, 1998 increased
   approximately 16.0% compared to the prior year due
   principally to increased capital spending and the inclusion
   of the acquired businesses.
   
   
                      - 9 -


   <PAGE>
   
   Income from operations increased 19% for the six month
   period to $13,332,000 and 8% for the three month period to
   $6,257,000, both compared to the prior year.  These
   increases are principally a result of higher sales,
   including the contribution from acquired businesses, and a
   product mix providing better than average profit margins.
   
   Gains of $937,000 and $722,000 were recognized in the six
   and three month periods ended June 30, 1997, respectively,
   from the sale of investments.
   
   The Corporation had net income for the six and three months
   ended June 30, 1998 of $8,882,000 and $4,226,000,
   respectively.  This compares with net income for the prior
   year comparable periods of $8,127,000 and $4,331,000,
   respectively.
   
   Liquidity and Capital Resources
   
   Net cash flow from operating activities was positive in
   1998 and 1997 at $14,825,000 and $13,655,000, respectively. 
   The increased cash flow in 1998 resulted primarily from a
   $2,141,000 increase in income from operations partially
   offset by greater working capital requirements.
   
   Capital expenditures for 1998 totaled $5,395,000 compared
   to $8,005,000 in 1997.  Capital appropriations carried
   forward from June 30, 1998 total $9,500,000 and unexpended
   industrial revenue bond proceeds of $993,000 are available
   to fund a portion of this capital program.  Funds generated
   internally are expected to be sufficient to finance the
   balance of the capital expenditures.
   
   Cash outflows with respect to financing activities in 1998
   reflect an increase in the quarterly dividend rate to $.09
   per share compared to $.06 per share in 1997.  Included in
   1997 is an additional prior year-end dividend of $960,000
   or $.10 per share.
   
   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, 1998 was
   $14,500,000.
   
   With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has
   been named a potentially responsible party at certain third
   party sites. The Corporation has accrued its share of the
   estimated cost of remedial actions it would likely be
   required to contribute.  While it is not possible to
   quantify with certainty the potential cost of actions
   regarding environmental matters, particularly any future
   remediation and other compliance efforts, in the opinion of
   
   
   
   
                               - 10 -


   <PAGE>
   
   management, compliance with the present environmental
   protection laws and the potential liability for all
   environmental proceedings will not have a material adverse
   effect on the financial condition, results of operations or
   liquidity of the Corporation.
   
   The nature and scope of the Corporation's business brings
   it into regular contact with a variety of persons,
   businesses and government agencies in the ordinary course
   of business.  Consequently, the Corporation and its
   subsidiaries from time to time are named in various legal
   actions.  The Corporation does not anticipate that its
   financial condition, results of operations or liquidity
   will be materially affected by the costs of known, pending
   or threatened litigation.
   
   Impact of Year 2000
   
   The Corporation and its subsidiaries continue their
   progress in identifying, modifying and/or replacing non-
   compliant business computer systems, equipment and other
   devices that utilize date-oriented software or computer
   chips.  Replacement software, where necessary, has been
   purchased and is in the process of being implemented.  The
   modifications being handled in-house to internally
   developed systems are progressing on schedule.  Management
   believes, based on a current review and the ongoing effort,
   that all relevant computer systems will be Year 2000
   compliant by the second quarter of 1999.  Management
   believes that the cost of this project will not be material
   to the Corporation's financial condition or results of
   operations.
