                    OGLEBAY NORTON COMPANY AND SUBSIDIARIES
              NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED CONDENSED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS



1.       The accompanying unaudited consolidated condensed financial statements
         have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q
         and, therefore, do not include all information and notes to the
         consolidated financial statements necessary for a fair presentation of
         financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity
         with generally accepted accounting principles.  Management of the
         Registrant, however, believes that all adjustments considered
         necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for
         such period have been made.  Certain amounts in the prior year have
         been reclassified to conform with the 1994 consolidated condensed
         financial statement presentation.  For further information, refer to
         the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in
         the Registrant's 1993 annual report on Form 10-K.

2.       Operating results are not necessarily indicative of the results to be
         expected for the year, due to the seasonal nature of certain aspects
         of the Registrant's business.

3.       The Registrant's wholly owned subsidiary Saginaw Mining Company,
         ceased operation of its St. Clairsville, Ohio coal mine on August 28,
         1992, and began the mine closing process.  Permanent closure of the
         mine was completed in 1993.  Closure costs of this discontinued
         operation are being fully funded by a public utility customer, as
         required by contract.  Final settlement and funding of the
         closure costs has been extended to July 31, 1994, at the request of
         the customer.  Remaining liabilities related to the discontinued
         operation are included in the accounts of the Registrant on the
         consolidated condensed balance sheet.

4.       In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement
         of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
         Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  The Registrant adopted
         the provisions of the new standard, effective January 1, 1994, and
         increased stockholders' equity by $2,971,792 (net of $1,531,000 in
         income taxes) to reflect unrealized holding gains on investments
         reported as available-for-sale.  Unrealized holding gains of
         $2,348,564 (net of $1,210,000 in income taxes) are included in
         stockholders' equity at March 31, 1994.  In accordance with the
         Statement, prior year financial statements have not been restated for 
         the accounting change.

5.       Available-for-sale investments are carried at fair value, based on
         quoted market prices, and are reported as a current asset in the
         consolidated condensed balance sheet.  Realized gains and losses on
         the sale of such investments are based on average cost.  In 1993, the
         Registrant reported these investments at the lower of cost or market
         and as long-term.

                      MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS
                       OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS
                                 OF OPERATIONS


                  Due to the seasonal nature of certain aspects of the
Registrant's business, the operating results and cash flows for the first three
months of the year are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected
for the full year.

                              FINANCIAL CONDITION
                              -------------------

                  At March 31, 1994 the Registrant's net current assets were
$19,215,000 as compared to $22,329,000 at December 31, 1993. Net current assets
declined from the end of last year primarily as a result of the purchase of
properties and equipment, the reduction of long-term debt and other
liabilities, the payment of dividends, the purchase of Treasury Stock, and the
payment of the Registrant's portion of Eveleth Mines debt.  This decline was
partially offset by the reclassification of available-for-sale investments to
current assets.

                  During the first quarter of 1994, the Registrant purchased
12,500 shares of its Common Stock on the open market and placed these shares in
treasury.  The Registrant declared and paid dividends of $.20 per share in the
first quarter of 1994 and 1993.

                  Cash flow from operations in the first quarter of 1994
improved from the first quarter of 1993 and was very close to breakeven.  This
represents strong cash flow performance for the Registrant in a period of
traditionally slow seasonal business activity.  As a result of its improved
cash position, the Registrant repaid a total of $5,000,000 of its revolving
credit long-term borrowings in January and February of 1994.  Anticipated cash
flows from operations and current financial resources are expected to meet the
Registrant's needs during the remainder of 1994.

                             RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
                             ---------------------

                 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 COMPARED TO
                       THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1993


                  The Registrant's 1994 first quarter consolidated net loss was
$143,000 or $.06 per share on consolidated revenues of $32,042,000 compared to
a net loss of $2,088,000 or $.83 per share on revenues of $17,581,000 for the
same quarter in 1993.  Consolidated net sales, operating revenues, sales
commissions, royalties and management fees amounted to $31,370,000 in the first
quarter of 1994, an 82% improvement over the 1993 first quarter level of
$17,216,000.  The Company's first quarter results reflect the seasonal nature
of a substantial portion of its business and are not indicative of the results
anticipated for the full year.

                  In 1993, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued
Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 115, "Accounting for Certain
Investments in Debt and Equity Securities".  As further described in Notes 4
and 5 to the consolidated condensed financial statements, the Registrant
adopted the provisions of the new standard, effective January 1, 1994.
Included in first quarter 1994 revenues is $339,000 of gains on the sale of
available-for-sale investments.

                       RESULTS OF OPERATIONS  (Continued)

                 THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1994 COMPARED TO
                       THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 1993

                       

                  Interest expense declined 21% in the first quarter of 1994,
compared to the same quarter in the prior year, due to the refinancing of a
portion of the Registrant's long-term debt in December 1993 and an overall
reduction in debt.

                  Operating results of the Registrant's business segments for
the first quarter ended March 31, 1994 and 1993 are discussed below.  It is the
policy of the Registrant to allocate certain corporate general and
administrative expenses to its business segments.

                  Operating revenues for the Registrant's Marine Transportation
segment amounted to $478,000 for the first quarter of 1994 compared to $489,000
for the first quarter of 1993.  The segment's operating loss of $727,000 for
the first quarter of 1994 declined 8% compared to $794,000 for the first
quarter of 1993.  The improvement is primarily a result of shuttle service
provided to a customer to transport iron ore within the Cuyahoga River during 
January and February.  Due to severe ice conditions on the Great Lakes, the 
start of the Registrant's shipping season was delayed until April 1994.  In 
1993, the fleet began the shipping season with three vessels in March.  
Presently, eleven of the Registrant's vessels are in operation with a planned 
twelfth vessel to sail at the end of the second quarter.

                  Net sales, royalties and management fees for the Registrant's
Iron Ore segment increased to $14,070,000 for the first quarter of 1994
compared to $1,661,000 for the first quarter of 1993 as a result of additional
tonnage requirements by consumers.  The segment's 1994 first quarter operating
profit of $2,191,000 compared to a profit of $53,000 for the first quarter of
1993.  The improvement was attributable to new sales, coupled with cost 
containment efforts at the Registrant's Eveleth Mines iron ore operations.

                  Net sales for the Registrant's Industrial Sands segment
amounted to $6,236,000 for the first quarter of 1994, a 6% increase over 1993
first quarter sales of $5,866,000.  The segment's 1994 first quarter operating
profit of $273,000 was comparable to a $239,000 profit for the first quarter of
1993.

                  Net sales for the Registrant's Refractories and Minerals
segment, previously identified as the Manufacturing segment, amounted to
$9,624,000 for the first quarter of 1994, which was a 20% improvement compared
to $7,999,000 for the same period in 1993.  Operating profit for the segment
was $524,000 for the first quarter of 1994 which was a 24% improvement compared
to $422,000 for the same period in 1993.  Concentrated efforts to improve sales
through product line diversification and technical assistance accounted for the
increases in 1994.
