                      AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


   1.   Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements
        The consolidated balance sheet as of September 30, 1999, the
        consolidated statements of income for the nine and three month
        periods ended September 30, 1999 and 1998 and the consolidated
        statements of cash flows for the nine month periods ended
        September 30, 1999 and 1998 have been prepared by the
        Corporation without audit.  In the opinion of management, all
        adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring 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.
        These consolidated financial statements should 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, 1998.  The
        results of operations for the period ended September 30, 1999
        are not necessarily indicative of the operating results for
        the full year.

   2.   Business Acquisitions

        On August 2, 1999, the Corporation acquired the stock of The
        Davy Roll Company and two smaller companies, each wholly-owned
        subsidiaries of Kvaerner PLC, (combined "Davy").  Davy,
        headquartered in Gateshead, England with operating locations
        in Gateshead and Sheffield, England, is a leading supplier of
        cast rolls to the steel and metal industries and will
        complement the previously existing Forged Steel Rolls segment
        (which has been renamed to Forged and Cast Rolls).

        The acquisition was accounted for as a purchase transaction.
        The purchase price of approximately U.S. $23,600,000 resulted
        in a bargain purchase option (negative goodwill) which has
        been applied against property, plant and equipment.      The
        consolidated financial statements include the results of
        operations of Davy from its acquisition date of August 2,
        1999.

        The pro forma financial information is based on the unaudited
        financial statements for each of these companies.  The
        financial statements of Davy are prepared in accordance with
        generally accepted accounting principles of the United Kingdom
        (UK GAAP), which is a comprehensive basis of accounting other
        than generally accepted accounting principles of the United
        States (US GAAP).  Significant differences between UK GAAP and


                                  - 6 -

        US GAAP for Davy include accounting for pensions under a
        defined benefit plan, accounting for deferred income taxes and
        revaluation of fixed assets.  The consolidated results of
        operations on a pro forma basis, as though the business had
        been acquired as of January 1, 1998, are as follows (in
        thousands except for per share information):

                                         Nine Months Ended
                                            September 30,

                                          1999         1998
       Net sales                         $180,104   $189,072
       Net income                        $ 10,545   $ 15,271
       Basic and diluted
        earnings per share               $   1.10   $   1.59

          The unaudited pro forma financial information is included for
          comparative purposes only and is not intended to be indicative
          of the results that would have occurred if the acquisition had
          been consummated on January 1, 1998 or that may be obtained in
          the future.  The pro forma adjustments are based on available
          information and upon certain assumptions that management
          believes are reasonable under the circumstances.  These
          adjustments are directly attributable to the consummated
          transaction and are expected to have a continuing impact on
          the financial position and results of operations of the
          Corporation.  Adjustments are also based on preliminary
          Accounting Principles Board Opinion (APB) No. 16, "Business
          Combinations", calculations.  Further adjustments to the
          purchase price allocation may arise as a result of the
          finalization of certain pre-acquisition contingencies,
          primarily related to accounting for pensions under a defined
          benefit plan.

   3.     Inventory

          Approximately 75% of the inventories are valued on the LIFO
          method, with the remaining inventories being valued on the
          FIFO method.  Inventories are comprised of the following:

                                        (in thousands)
                             September 30,          December 31,

   5.  Earnings Per Share

       Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net income by
       the weighted average number of common shares outstanding.  In
       May, 1999, 12,500 options were exercised resulting in a
       weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the
       nine and three months ended September 30, 1999 of 9,584,169
       and 9,590,121 shares, respectively.   For the nine and three
       months ended September 30, 1998, the weighted average number
       of common shares outstanding was 9,577,621 shares.

       The computation of diluted earnings per share is similar to
       basic earnings per share except that the denominator is
       increased to include the net additional common shares that
       would have been outstanding assuming exercise of outstanding
       stock options, calculated using the treasury stock method.
       The weighted average number of common shares outstanding
       assuming exercise of the stock options was 9,610,160 and
       9,629,552, respectively, for the nine and three months ended
       September 30, 1999.  There were no potentially dilutive
       securities outstanding for the comparable 1998 periods.

   6.  Business Segments

       The Corporation adopted SFAS No. 131, "Disclosures about
       Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information" effective
       with its annual report to shareholders for the year ended
       December 31, 1998 which changed its previous practice of
       reporting under one business segment, Engineered Equipment.
       Presented below are the net sales and earnings before taxes
       for the Corporation's three business segments.

   7.  Recently Issued Accounting Standards

       In June 1998, the Financial Accounting Standards Board 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, as amended by SFAS No. 137, "Accounting for Derivative
       Instruments and Hedging Activities - Deferral of the Effective
       Date of FASB Statement No. 133", is first effective for the
       Corporation for the year ending December 31, 2001.  The
       Corporation does not engage in significant activity with
       respect to derivative instruments or  hedging activities.
       Management is evaluating the impact but 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 Nine and Three Month Periods Ended
   September 30, 1999 and 1998

   On August 2, 1999, the Corporation acquired the stock of The Davy
   Roll Company and two smaller companies - Turner Chilled Rolls
   Limited and Kvaerner Formet Limited - each wholly-owned
   subsidiaries of Kvaerner PLC, (combined "Davy") for approximately
   U.S. $23,600,000.  Davy is primarily a leading supplier of cast
   rolls to the steel and metal industries.  The acquisition
   complements the forged hardened steel roll business of the
   Corporation and will allow the two companies to provide the total
   roll needs of the customer base worldwide.  Accordingly, third
   quarter and year-to-date results include those of the acquisitions
   for August and September 1999.  In conjunction with the
   acquisition, the previously existing Forged Steel Rolls segment
   has been renamed to Forged and Cast Rolls.  The acquisition was
   accounted for as a purchase transaction.

   Operations

   Net Sales.  Net sales for the nine and three month periods of 1999
   were $150,189,000 and $51,898,000, respectively, compared to
   $141,451,000 and $46,080,000, respectively for the same periods of
   the prior year.  A discussion of the third quarter and year-to-
   date sales and results for the Corporation's three segments is
   included below.  The order backlog at September 30, 1999 of
   $119,900,000 increased by 19.9% compared to $100,000,000 at
   December 31, 1998.  The increase is attributable to the
   acquisition of Davy.  Excluding Davy, backlog is $2,389,000 lower
   than that at December 31, 1998 as a result of a decline in
   business for the Plastics Processing Machinery segment.

   Cost of Products Sold.  The cost of products sold, excluding
   depreciation, in relationship to net sales for the nine and three
   months ended September 30, 1999 were 70.5% and 72.0%,
   respectively.  This compares with the prior comparable periods of
   68.6% and 70.5%, respectively.  Exclusion of Davy results in
   percentages comparable to the prior year of 69.6% and 69.5% for
   the nine and three months ended September 30, 1999, respectively.

   Income from Operations.  Income from operations decreased 8.0% for
   the nine month period to $16,666,000 but improved 11.4% for the
   three month period to $5,328,000, both compared to the prior year.
   This is a result of increased earnings from the Air and Liquid
   Processing segment, offset by decreased earnings from the Forged
   and Cast Rolls segment.

                                  - 10 -

   Forged and Cast Rolls.  Sales for the Forged and Cast Rolls
   segment increased for the nine and three months by 2.7% and 17.4%,
   respectively, to $68,297,000 and $25,588,000, respectively.  This
   compares with $66,505,000 and $21,793,000 for the prior year.  The
   increase in sales is attributable to the acquisition of Davy  on
   August 2, 1999 which had sales of $7,117,000 for the two months
   ended September 30, 1999.  Lower selling prices and reduced demand
   for forged hardened steel rolls offset this increase.  Earnings
   for this segment decreased for the nine and three months by 30.4%
   and 23.1%,respectively, to $8,059,000 and $2,663,000 compared with
   $11,585,000 and $3,461,000 for the prior year.  Margins were
   reduced as competitive pressures in both the domestic and export
   markets resulted in lower selling prices.  In addition, operating
   levels were reduced in the 1999 period compared to those of a year
   ago.  Earnings of the Belgium operations have been negatively
   impacted by the strength of the dollar which has increased the
   cost of importing forgings causing margin erosion.  Davy's
   earnings for the two months ended September 30, 1999 approximated
   $200,000.

   Air and Liquid Processing.  Sales for the Air and Liquid
   Processing segment improved for the nine and three month periods
   of 1999 by 19.7% and 16.8%, respectively, to $54,549,000 and
   $18,509,000.  This compares with $45,588,000 and $15,849,000 for
   the comparable 1998 periods.  Year-to-date sales were higher for
   each of the operations, particularly at the air handling system
   operations which is benefitting from improved activity in the
   industrial construction markets and at the heat exchange coil
   operations due to an increase in demands.  Sales for the quarter
   were higher as a result of an improvement in sales of large
   industrial coils.  Earnings for this segment increased for the
   nine and three month periods of 1999 to $6,318,000 and $2,404,000,
   respectively, in comparison to $3,090,000 and $762,000 for the
   same periods in 1998.  Improved margins earned by the pumps
   operation and improved margins and higher production volumes
   achieved by the air handling system operations account for the
   year-to-date increase and increased production volume by the heat
   exchange coil operations account for the quarter increase.

   Plastics Processing Machinery.  Sales for the Plastics Processing
   Machinery segment for the nine and three month periods of 1999
   decreased by 6.9% and 7.5%, respectively, to $27,343,000 and
   $7,801,000.  This compares with $29,358,000 and $8,438,000 for
   1998.  Earnings decreased for the nine and three month periods of
   1999 by 33.4% and 53.2% to $2,289,000 and $261,000 compared to
   $3,438,000 and $558,000 for the comparable prior year periods.
   The decline in sales and earnings occurred principally at both of
   the Corporation's heat transfer roll operations which have been
   impacted by reduced demand in its markets.

   Other Income (Expense).  Other income (expense) for the nine and
   three month periods of 1999 of $(13,000) and $(41,000),
   respectively, reflects lower interest earnings on cash balances
   and losses on foreign exchange transactions compared to foreign
   exchange gains included in 1998's other income of $387,000 and
   $132,000 for the same periods in 1998.



                                  - 11 -

   Net Income.  As a result of all of the above, the Corporation had
   net income for the nine and three months of 1999 of $10,873,000
   and $3,467,000, respectively.  This compares with $12,155,000 and
   $3,273,000 for the 1998 comparable periods.

   Liquidity and Capital Resources

   Net cash flows from operating activities were positive for 1999 at
   $16,925,000 and compare with positive cash flows of $20,625,000
   for 1998.  The difference in cash flows between the two periods
   results from a $1,447,000 decrease in income from operations in
   1999 and changes in working capital requirements (principally
   inventories which increased in 1999 and contributions to the non-
   qualified defined benefit plan).

   Net cash outflows from investing activities were $31,427,000 in
   1999 and compare with cash outflows of $6,387,000 in 1998.  The
   Corporation paid approximately $23,600,000 for Davy, which was
   financed from available cash and cash equivalents.  In addition,
   capital expenditures for 1999, net of reimbursement from
   previously issued industrial revenue bonds, totaled $8,237,000
   compared to $6,436,000 in 1998.  Capital expenditures carried
   forward from September 30, 1999 total $7,958,000.  Funds on-hand
   and funds generated by future operations are expected to be
   sufficient to finance capital expenditure requirements.

   Cash flows from financing activities in 1999 include the issuance
   of $2,075,000 of tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds, the proceeds
   of which were used for plant expansion and equipment at the
   Corporation's heat exchange coil operation in Lynchburg, Virginia.

   Cash outflows with respect to financing activities in 1999 reflect
   an increase in the quarterly dividend rate to $.10 per share
   compared to $.09 per share in 1998.

   The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit in excess of
   the cash needs of its businesses.  The total available at
   September 30, 1999 was approximately $15,000,000.  The Corporation
   did not renew the $7.5 million revolving credit agreement at
   September 30, 1999.

   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
   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.


                         - 12 -

   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 Year 2000 issue is the result of computer programs that were
   written using two digits rather than four to define the applicable
   year.  If the Corporation's computer programs or other equipment
   with date-sensitive functions are not Year 2000 compliant, they
   may recognize a date using "00" as the Year 1900 rather than the
   Year 2000.  This could result in a system failure or
   miscalculations causing disruptions of operations, including,
   among other things, a temporary inability to process transactions
   or engage in normal business activities.

   Generally, each of the Corporation's subsidiaries maintains its
   own data processing equipment and software.  To ensure that their
   operations will not be adversely impacted by Year 2000 software
   failures, project teams have been formed at each subsidiary to
   address Year 2000 risks.  The project teams have coordinated the
   identification and implementation of changes to computer hardware
   and software applications to ensure availability and integrity of
   the Corporation's information systems and the reliability of its
   operational systems and manufacturing processes.

   Each subsidiary has reviewed its information and operational
   systems and manufacturing processes to identify those products,
   services or systems that are not Year 2000 compliant.  As a result
   of these reviews, it was determined necessary to modify or replace
   certain information and operational systems so they are Year 2000
   compliant.  These modifications and replacements have been made in
   conjunction with the Corporation's overall systems initiatives.
   It is difficult to break out the total cost of Year 2000
   compliance; however, the combined cost of such compliance, system
   upgrades, principally software, and setting up a stand-alone
   system at a subsidiary currently integrated into an unrelated
   business subsidiary system, is less than $1,000,000.

   The majority of this cost is for system upgrade and replacement
   software which has been installed and tested and is operational.
   The Corporation estimates its Year 2000 efforts are complete,
   subject only to ongoing system testing.  Based on available
   information, the Corporation does not believe any material
   exposure to significant business interruption exists as a result
   of Year 2000 compliance issues.




                                 - 13 -


   The Corporation also faces some risk to the extent that customers
   or suppliers of products, services and systems purchased by the
   Corporation do not comply with Year 2000 requirements.  The
   Corporation continues to evaluate the status of significant
   suppliers and customers to determine the extent to which the
   Corporation is vulnerable to these third parties' failure to
   remediate their own Year 2000 issues.

   Having completed our identification, assessment and implementation
   of major projects, our "worst-case scenario" would be a failure of
   multiple significant suppliers to supply raw materials or provide
   services for a prolonged period of time that would materially
   impair our ability to ship product in a timely and reliable manner
   to our customers.  Although the occurrences of this scenario could
   have a material adverse effect on the Corporation, we do not have
   a basis to determine at this time whether such a scenario is
   reasonably likely to occur.  We believe that suppliers and
   customers present the area of greatest risk to disruption of our
   operations because of our limited ability to influence actions of
   third parties or to estimate the level and impact of their
   noncompliance throughout the extended supply chain.  The
   contingency plans for our suppliers and customers include,
   primarily (1) booking orders and manufacturing and shipping
   products before anticipated business disruptions and (2) using
   alternative suppliers.  We believe the breadth of the
   Corporation's customer base and availability of alternative
   suppliers will mitigate the risks associated with third party
   issues.

   The descriptions herein of the elements of the Corporation's Year
   2000 effort are forward-looking statements as defined in the
   Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995.  Of necessity,
   this effort is based on estimates and there can be no assurance
   that actual results will not materially differ from expectations.

                    PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
                    AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION




Item 1.   Legal Proceeding

          As previously reported, Greenlease Holding Company, a
          former operating subsidiary (f/k/a Greenville Steel Car
          Company), had been designated as a Potentially Responsible
          Party in connection with contamination at the River Road
          Landfill in Mercer County, Pennsylvania.  Waste
          Management, the owner of the site, had alleged that
          Greenlease Holding Company was liable for approximately
          $200,000 of the cleanup cost.  All claims against the
          subsidiary have now been settled for less than that amount
          by agreement dated September 9, 1999 with Waste Management
          and by the signing of a Consent Decree with the United
          States Environmental Protection Agency.

          The Corporation also previously reported a lawsuit
          commenced in 1991 against the Corporation and its
          subsidiary, Vulcan, Inc., arising out of the filing of a
          petition under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy
          Code in 1990 by Valley-Vulcan Mold Company, a partnership
          of which Vulcan was a 50% General Partner.  The lawsuit,
          Official Unsecured Creditors  Committee of Valley-Vulcan
          Mold Company v. Microdot, Inc., Valley Mould Corporation,
          Ampco-Pittsburgh Corporation and Vulcan, Inc., was tried
          in 1993 and the Court denied all claims against the
          Corporation and all claims against Vulcan, except for its
          liability as a general partner.  The plaintiffs appealed
          this decision to the United States District Court, which,
          upon stipulation of the parties, ordered the appeal
          transferred to the Bankruptcy Appellate Panel for the
          Sixth Circuit ( BAP ).  In August, 1999, the BAP affirmed
          the Decision and Order of the lower court.  The plaintiffs
          have now filed an appeal with the United States Court of
          Appeals for the Sixth Circuit.
