                AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION
         NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1. Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

   The consolidated balance sheet as of March 31, 2000, and
   the consolidated statements of income and of cash flows
   for the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 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, 1999.  The
   results of operations for the period ended March 31,
   2000 are not necessarily indicative of the operating
   results for the full year.

2. Business Acquisition

   On August 2, 1999, the Corporation acquired the stock of
   The Davy Roll Company and two smaller companies.  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 consolidated results of operations for
   the first quarter 1999, on a pro forma basis, as though
   the business had been acquired as of January 1, 1999,
   are as follows (in thousands except for per share
   information):


      Net sales              $ 61,557
      Net income             $  3,418
      Basic and diluted
        earnings per share   $   0.36

   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, 1999 or that may be obtained in the future.

   In March 2000, the Corporation sold the net assets,
   excluding accounts receivables, of the small roll
   division of The Davy Roll Company for approximately net
   book value.  A portion of the proceeds included a
   $400,000 note, secured by a first priority mortgage, on
   the property.  The note is payable in two equal annual
   installments beginning in January 2001.  Interest
   accrues on the outstanding balance at base rate plus 1%.


                            - 6 -


3. Inventory

   At March 31, 2000 and December 31, 1999, approximately
   65% and 63%, respectively, 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)
                        March 31,       December 31,
                          2000              1999
   Raw materials      $ 13,660           $ 11,714
   Work-in-process      26,305             26,212
   Finished goods        3,981              4,084
   Supplies              4,017              5,271
                      $ 47,963           $ 47,281

4. Comprehensive Income

   The Corporation's comprehensive income for the three
   months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999 consisted of:

                                            (in thousands)
                                        Three Months Ended
                                             March 31,

                                          2000       1999
   Net income                           $ 4,165     $ 3,402
   Foreign currency translation            (769)     (1,067)
   Unrealized holding (losses)
     gains on securities                   (129)         29
   Comprehensive income                 $ 3,267     $ 2,364

5. Earnings Per Share

   Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net
   income by the weighted average number of common shares
   outstanding.  In February 2000, 12,500 options were
   exercised resulting in a weighted average number of
   common shares outstanding for the three months ended
   March 31, 2000 of 9,595,341 shares.  The weighted
   average number of common shares outstanding for the
   three months ended March 31, 1999 equaled 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 9,611,127 shares and 9,580,984 shares for
   the three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999,
   respectively.

7. Subsequent Event

   Effective April 2000, the number of shares of common
   stock that may be granted under the 1997 Stock Option
   Plan was increased from 300,000 shares to 600,000
   shares.

8. 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
   other comprehensive income.  As amended, SFAS 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 effect on the
   financial condition, results of operations or liquidity
   of the Corporation.

                AMPCO-PITTSBURGH CORPORATION
           MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF
        FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS




Operations for the Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2000
and 1999

On August 2, 1999, the Corporation acquired the stock of The
Davy Roll Company and two smaller companies (Davy).
Subsequently, in March 2000, the small roll division was
sold for approximately net book value.

Operations

Net Sales.  Net sales for the three-month period ended March
31, 2000 were $59,469,000, compared to $49,418,000 for the
same period of the prior year.  A discussion of the first
quarter sales and results for the Corporation's three
segments is included below.  The order backlog at March 31,
2000 approximated $116,672,000 in comparison to $118,098,000
at December 31, 1999.  The sale of the small roll division
reduced the backlog by approximately $3,000,000 which was
offset primarily by a larger backlog for the Plastics
Processing Machinery segment.

Cost of Products Sold.  The cost of products sold, excluding
depreciation, equaled 72.2% and 71.0% of net sales for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 and 1999, respectively.
The increase is due primarily to Davy which has a higher
cost of production.  Without Davy, cost of products sold,
excluding depreciation, approximated 70% of net sales.

Income from Operations.  Income from operations increased
$1,251,000 for the three-month period ended March 31, 2000
to $6,491,000 compared to $5,240,000 for the same period of
the prior year. This is a result of increased earnings from
the Forged and Cast Rolls and the Air and Liquid Processing
segments.

Forged and Cast Rolls.  Sales for the Forged and Cast Rolls
segment increased for the three months ended March 31, 2000
by $9,917,000 to $32,357,000.  This compares with sales of
$22,440,000 for the same period of the prior year.  The
increase is attributable to the acquisition of Davy, and
increased shipments by the U.S. operations offset by lower
sales of the Belgium operation.  Earnings for this segment
increased for the three months ended March 31, 2000 by
$985,000 to $3,694,000 compared with earnings of $2,709,000
for the comparable prior year period. The increase is
attributable to the addition of Davy, favorable product mix
and operating efficiencies.  Earnings of the Belgium
operation continue to be negatively impacted by the strength
of the dollar thereby increasing the cost of imported
forgings and causing margin erosion.


                            - 9 -



Air and Liquid Processing.  Sales for the Air and Liquid
Processing segment improved for the three months ended March
31, 2000 by 7.4% to $18,387,000.  This compares with sales
of $17,126,000 for the comparable 1999 period.  Sales were
higher for each of the operations, particularly at the pumps
operation.  Earnings for this segment increased for the
three-month period ended March 31, 2000 to $2,151,000
compared to $1,648,000 for the same period in 1999.  Higher
sales volumes and improved margins earned principally by the
pumps operation account for this increase.

Plastics Processing Machinery.  Sales for the Plastics
Processing Machinery segment for the three months ended
March 31, 2000 decreased by $1,127,000 to $8,725,000 from
$9,852,000 for the 1999 period. Earnings decreased for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 by $237,000 to $646,000
compared to earnings of $883,000 for the prior year period.
Lower opening backlogs for 2000 and unusually high shipments
of the machine product line in first quarter 1999 account
for this decline.

Other Income (Expense).  Other income (expense) for the
three months ended March 31, 2000 of $(156,000) compares to
$(98,000) for the three months ended March 31, 1999.  The
increase in expense was due to lower interest earnings
attributable to lower cash and cash equivalent balances
resulting from the third quarter 1999 acquisition of Davy.
In addition, interest expense was higher due to higher
interest rates on existing debt.

Net Income.  As a result of all of the above, the
Corporation had net income of $4,165,000 for the three
months ended March 31, 2000 in comparison to $3,402,000 for
the comparable 1999 period.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Net cash flows from operating activities were positive for
first quarter 2000 at $5,884,000 in comparison to positive
cash flows of $5,147,000 for first quarter 1999. The
difference in cash flows between the two periods results
primarily from changes in working capital requirements
(principally accounts receivable and accounts payable which
decreased in 2000 but increased in 1999).

Net cash flows used in investing activities were $813,000 in
2000 compared to $2,811,000 in 1999.  In March 2000, the
Corporation sold the net assets, excluding accounts
receivables, of the small roll division of The Davy Roll
Company for approximately $1,673,000.  A portion of the
proceeds includes a $400,000 note which is payable in two
equal annual installments beginning January 2001.  Interest
accrues on the outstanding balance at base rate plus 1%.
Also in March 2000, the Corporation sold the remaining
discontinued operation property, which it carried as an
investment, for its carrying value of approximately
$1,300,000.  Capital expenditures for 2000 totaled
$3,383,000 compared to $2,811,000 in 1999, after
consideration of reimbursement from unexpended bond proceeds
from previously issued bonds.  Capital expenditures carried
forward from March 31, 2000 approximate $9,800,000.  Funds
on-hand, funds generated by future operations and available
lines of credit are expected to be sufficient to finance
capital expenditure requirements.


                           - 10 -


Cash used in financing activities for 2000 and 1999 includes
payment of quarterly dividends at a rate of $.10 per share.
In first quarter 2000, proceeds were received from the
issuance of stock under the Corporation's stock option plan
resulting in net cash used in financing activities of
$834,000.  In first quarter 1999, proceeds were received
from the issuance of tax-exempt industrial revenue bonds
resulting in net cash provided by financing activities of
$1,117,000.

The Corporation maintains short-term lines of credit in
excess of the cash needs of its businesses.  The total
available at March 31, 2000 was approximately $10,000,000.

With respect to environmental concerns, the Corporation has
been named a potentially responsible party at a third party
site. 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.
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

Each subsidiary had reviewed its information and operational
systems and manufacturing processes to identify those
products, services or systems that were not Year 2000
compliant. As a result of these reviews, certain information
and operational systems were modified or replaced so they
would be Year 2000 compliant. These modifications and
replacements were made in conjunction with the Corporation's
overall systems initiatives. The Corporation did not
experience and does not anticipate any business interruption
as a result of Year 2000 compliance issues.

Conversion to the Euro

The Corporation has identified issues that may result from
conversion to the Euro which include primarily changes to
information systems at its Belgian operation.  The
Corporation does not expect the conversion to the Euro will
have a material impact on its financial condition, results
of operations or liquidity.
