The undersigned Registrant, Oglebay Norton Company, hereby amends Item 7 of its
Current Report on Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on
June 5, 1998 to add the financial statements and pro forma information required
by Parts (a) and (b) of Item 7.
ITEM 7. FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND EXHIBITS
(a) Financial Statements of Business Acquired.
The audited and unaudited consolidated financial statements of Global Stone
Corporation ("Global Stone") are attached hereto at pages F-1 through F-28.
(b) Pro Forma Financial Information
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of the Registrant are
included herein at pages P-1 through P-10.
The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of the Registrant are
presented for illustrative purposes only, giving effect to the acquisition of
Global Stone. The unaudited pro forma combined financial statements of the
Registrant also include the acquisitions of Colorado Silica Sands, Inc.
("Colorado Silica"), acquired on March 9, 1998, the Port Inland operations of
Specialty Minerals Inc., a wholly owned subsidiary of Minerals Technology
Inc., ("Port Inland"), acquired on April 28, 1998, and the disposal of the
assets of the Registrant's discontinued Engineered Materials metallurgical
treatment operations ("Engineered Materials"), sold on May 15, 1998.
Collectively these transactions are referred to as "Other Recent Transactions",
each of which did not meet the definition of a significant subsidiary under Rule
1-02(w) of Regulation S-X requiring separate financial statement presentation.
All of the acquisitions will be accounted for using the purchase method of
accounting, whereby the purchase price is allocated based on the fair value of
the assets acquired and the liabilities assumed.
The unaudited pro forma combined balance sheet of the Registrant as of March 31,
1998 gives effect to the acquisition of Global Stone as if this transaction
occurred on that date and includes the pro forma adjustments to reflect the
combination. The pro forma combined balance sheet also includes the pro forma
effects of the Port Inland and Engineered Materials transactions as if they had
occurred as of March 31, 1998.
<PAGE> 3
Item 7. Financial Statements and Exhibits (Continued)
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and the three months ended March 31, 1998 give effect to the
acquisition of Global Stone as if this transaction had occurred on January 1,
1997. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the year
ended December 31, 1997 includes the statements of operations of the Registrant
and Global Stone for the fiscal years ended December 31, 1997 and September 30,
1997, respectively, and the pro forma adjustments to reflect the combination.
The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for the three months
ended March 31, 1998, includes the statements of operations of the Registrant
and Global Stone for the respective periods and the pro forma adjustments to
reflect the combination. The unaudited pro forma combined statements of
operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three months ended
March 31, 1998 also include the pro forma effects of the Colorado Silica and
Port Inland acquisitions. The sale of the Engineered Materials assets did not
result in any gain or additional loss upon disposal.
The pro forma results are not necessarily indicative of the results of
operations had the acquisitions taken place at the beginning of the respective
periods or of future results of the combined companies. The purchase price
allocations are preliminary; therefore, final amounts could differ from those
reflected in the pro forma combined financial statements. Upon final
determination, the purchase prices will be allocated to the assets and
liabilities acquired based on fair value as of the date of each respective
acquisition.
The principal pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined
statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 and for the three
months March 31, 1998 include entries to convert Global Stone's historical
statements of income from Canadian generally accepted accounting principles
("Canadian GAAP") to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S.
GAAP"), to reflect cost depletion related to the pro forma write-up of Global
Stone's mineral reserves to estimated fair value, to reflect goodwill
amortization related to the pro forma excess of acquisition costs over the fair
value of net assets acquired and to reflect interest expense on pro forma debt.
The principal pro forma adjustments to the unaudited pro forma combined balance
sheet as of March 31, 1998 include entries to convert Global Stone's historical
balance sheet from Canadian GAAP to U.S. GAAP, an increase in pro forma debt to
finance the purchase of Global Stone's common stock, pro forma write-up of
Global Stone's mineral reserves to estimated fair value, a pro forma adjustment
to recognize the excess of acquisition costs over the fair value of assets
acquired, and the pro forma recognition of a deferred tax liability on the
acquisition costs in excess of historical net assets acquired.

AUDITORS' REPORT
To the Directors of
GLOBAL STONE CORPORATION
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of GLOBAL STONE CORPORATION as
at September 30, 1997 and 1996 and the consolidated statements of income and
retained earnings and changes in financial position for each of the years in the
three-year period ended September 30, 1997. These financial statements are the
responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an
opinion on these financial statements based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform an audit to obtain
reasonable assurance whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
In our opinion, these consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all
material respects, the financial position of the Company as at September 30,
1997 and 1996 and the results of its operations and the changes in its financial
position for each of the years in the three-year period ended September 30, 1997
in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in Canada.

GLOBAL STONE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
September 30, 1997
1. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The consolidated financial statements of Global Stone Corporation [the
"Company"] have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally
accepted in Canada, which conform in all material respects with accounting
principles generally accepted in the United States except as outlined in note
17. The significant accounting policies followed by the Company are summarized
below:
BASIS OF CONSOLIDATION
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and
all subsidiaries. Non-controlling interest represents the non-controlling
shareholder's proportionate share, or 40%, of the equity in the Company's
consolidated subsidiary, Global Stone (UK) Ltd. ["Global Stone (UK)"].
TRANSLATION OF FOREIGN CURRENCIES
The Company's foreign subsidiaries are considered to be self-sustaining
operations and their accounts are translated into Canadian dollars using the
current rate method, under which all assets and liabilities are translated at
the exchange rates prevailing at the year end, and revenue and expenses
[including depreciation, depletion and amortization] are translated at the
average rates of exchange during the year. Gains and losses on translation of
these account balances are deferred and shown as a separate item in
shareholders' equity. Gains or losses on foreign currency long-term debt that is
designated as a hedge of net investments in self-sustaining foreign operations
are also included as translation adjustments in shareholders' equity.
INVENTORIES
Inventories are valued at the lower of average cost, determined on a monthly
basis using the fully-absorbed method, or net realizable value. Cost includes
direct labour, operating overheads and material costs as well as depreciation
and depletion at the operating properties, but excludes administrative expenses.
Consumables and maintenance spares are valued at the lower of acquisition cost
less an obsolescence provision, and replacement cost.
DEFERRED FINANCING COSTS
Costs related to long-term financing that are not related to a specific
acquisition are deferred and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term to
maturity of the related debt instrument.
F-6
<PAGE> 11
GLOBAL STONE CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
September 30, 1997
POST-RETIREMENT BENEFITS
Substantially all of the Company's employees are covered under one of the
Company's pension plans, union-sponsored plans or group retirement related
savings schemes to which the Company contributes.
Pension costs and obligations of the Company's defined benefit plans are
actuarially determined on the basis of management's best estimate assumptions
using the projected unit credit method. Adjustments arising from plan
amendments, changes in assumptions and experience gains or losses are amortized
to income on a straight-line basis over the expected average remaining service
life of the related employee group.
For defined contribution plans, union-sponsored plans and group retirement
related savings schemes, the Company expenses the annual contributions specified
by these plans.
The Company also provides certain health care and life insurance benefits for
retired employees and their dependents. The cost of these benefits is expensed
when paid.
CAPITAL ASSETS
Capital assets are initially recorded at cost and depreciated or depleted over
their remaining estimated useful lives as follows:
Property, plant and equipment 2 - 25 years, straight-line
Mineral reserves Unit of production basis
The Company incurs advance costs on the removal of overburden to expose the
usable limestone. These costs are carried as deferred quarry development costs
and charged to depreciation and depletion as the related limestone is quarried.
The Company defers costs related to the acquisition of aggregates or industrial
mineral operations until a property is acquired or the acquisition is abandoned.
If the property is acquired, the acquisition costs are capitalized and allocated
to specific acquired assets and are amortized in accordance with the Company's
accounting policy for the related assets. If the acquisition is abandoned, the
costs are charged to depreciation and depletion in the year in which the
abandonment decision is made.
Interest incurred during the construction of capital assets is capitalized.
Construction in progress is not depreciated until the capital asset is put into
operation.
Amounts paid for extraction rights are amortized over the total output allowed
under the rights based on the unit of production basis.
The Company ascribes a value to acquired mineral reserves which reflects the
extent, quality and comparative values for similar materials in the geographic
area. The capital value is depleted on a per ton basis as the reserve is
consumed. Reviews of reserves and amortization rates are carried out by the
Company [including the use of consulting geologists] on a periodic basis and
adjustments are made if significant variances are identified. The amounts shown
for mineral

September 30, 1997
reserves do not necessarily represent future values and changes in legislation,
market conditions or extraction constraints may have a material effect on future
carrying values and operating results.
INCOME TAXES
The Company follows the deferral method of accounting for income taxes. Under
this method, timing differences between the period in which income and expenses
are reported for income tax purposes and the period in which they are recorded
in the accounts result in deferred income taxes.
FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The carrying values of cash and temporary investments, accounts receivable, bank
indebtedness, accounts payable and accrued charges approximate their fair values
due to the short-term nature of the instruments. The Company estimates the fair
value of its capital lease obligations and long-term debt by discounting
expected future cash flows at current interest rates.

The carrying values of the capital lease obligations approximate fair values.
5. BANK INDEBTEDNESS
At September 30, 1997, the Company had the following credit facilities from a
Canadian chartered bank [the "bank"]:
[a] an operating facility of $2.5 million, repayable on demand and bearing
interest at the prime rate of the bank plus 0.125% [the "operating
facility"];
[b] a revolving facility of $8.8 million, which can be drawn down in either
Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars, repayable within one year, subject to
364-day extensions at the discretion of the bank. Canadian dollar loans
bear interest at the prime rate of the bank plus 0.125% while U.S. dollar
loans bear interest at the bank's floating rate for U.S. dollar commercial
loans plus 0.375% or LIBOR plus 1.125% [the "revolving facility"]; and
[c] a revolving term facility of U.S. $4.8 million, which can be drawn down in
either Canadian dollars or U.S. dollars, with repayment terms through to
1998. Canadian dollar loans bear interest at the prime rate of the bank
plus 0.375% while U.S. dollar loans bear interest at the bank's floating
rate for U.S. dollar commercial loans plus 0.125% or LIBOR plus 1.125% [the
"revolving term facility"]. LIBOR averaged 5.726% in 1997.
When the revolving facility and revolving term facility are drawn down in U.S.
dollars, repayments will be denominated in U.S. dollars.

September 30, 1997
On February 15, 1995, the Company completed a private placement for a $55
million debt facility with a group of leading North American life assurance
companies. At that time, $30 million of the facility was drawn down. The
remaining facility was drawn down in December 1995. Further Debentures with
a par value of $23,350,000 were sold for $25 million producing a net
discounted interest rate of 8.699%, a reflection of the lower interest rate
prevailing in the market. The difference of the par value and the proceeds
of these debentures was recorded as debenture premium on the consolidated
balance sheets of the Company to be amortized over the term of the
Debentures.
Costs of issuing the Debentures, including underwriting commissions,
amounted to $1,100,000 and are recorded in the accounts as deferred
financing costs to be amortized to income over the term of the Debentures.
The unamortized balance at September 30, 1997 was $701,000 [1996 -
$857,000].
Repayments are required as follows:

directors and officers of the Company. The purchase price was determined by
independent valuations. Global Stone (UK) Ltd.'s assets comprised a limestone
dimension stone quarry in Tetbury, Gloucestershire, which has subsequently been
sold in 1996, and a 40% interest in a development property at Somerley,
Hampshire which owns extraction rights to 4 million tonnes of sand and gravel.

Current income tax expense for the year is $1,020,000 [1996 - $3,269,000; 1995 -
$1,479,000] and deferred income tax recovery is $307,000 [1996 - deferred income
tax recovery of $463,000; 1995 deferred income tax expense of $328,000].
The Company has share issue costs of approximately $784,000 which are available
to reduce taxable income and taxes payable in future years. These costs are
deductible on a straight-line basis over five years beginning in the year in
which they occur. Any tax recoveries will be credited to share issue costs in
share capital in the period in which they are realized.
11. EARNINGS PER SHARE
Basic earnings per share are calculated on the basis of the weighted average
number of shares outstanding during the year which amounted to 29,632,826 [1996
- - 25,583,571; 1995 - 21,370,842].
Fully diluted earnings per share show the effect on earnings per share which
would result if all the outstanding share options were exercised and converted
into common shares and the convertible Cominco debenture was converted into
common shares, at the beginning of the fiscal year or the date of issuance if
later.
12. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Related party transactions not disclosed elsewhere in these consolidated
financial statements include legal services received from a law practice with
which a director of the Company is a partner [1997 - $13,516; 1996 - $116,571;

Unusual items of $3,782,000 represent certain costs associated with the flood in
July 1997 and for restructuring of the mining operation at Tenn Luttrell. The
restructuring costs relate to the write-off of certain development costs due to
a change in mining method from open-pit to underground that had been previously
capitalized. Restructuring costs also include related severance costs.
14. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
The Company operates in one dominant industry segment, the manufacture and
distribution of lime and related products for a wide variety of end uses, and
primarily in one geographic segment, North America.
15. COMMITMENTS
The Company is committed to spending approximately $5 million on capital
expenditures, relating to a number of ongoing projects at several of its
locations.
16. CONTINGENCY
The Company has been named in a lawsuit for alleged damages arising from
blasting and dust nuisance operations at one of its locations. The Company
believes that this claim is without merit and is vigorously defending its case.

amount of income taxes paid (refunded) in cash during 1997 was $1,243,000
[1996 - ($239,000); 1995 - $2,115,000].
[e] Under U.S. GAAP, post-retirement benefits are charged against income on an
accrual basis. In addition, on the acquisition of an operation, the
obligation for post-retirement benefits is recognized as part of the
purchase equation. Under Canadian GAAP, the cost of these benefits is
expensed when paid.
[f] Pension expense calculated under U.S. GAAP differs from that calculated
under Canadian GAAP primarily as a result of differences in interest rates,
discount rates and treatment of experience gains and losses.
[g] Under U.S. GAAP, an unusual item is classified separately as an operating
expense. Under Canadian GAAP, it is classified as a non-operating expense.

(EXPRESSED IN CANADIAN DOLLARS UNLESS OTHERWISE INDICATED)
September 30, 1997
[h] Under U.S. GAAP, all non-cash investing and financing transactions are to
be excluded from the statement of changes in financial position and the
change in bank indebtedness is treated as a financing activity. The
exclusion of non-cash transactions and the inclusion of changes in bank
indebtedness changes the balance for cash provided by financing activities
for the year ended September 30, 1997 under U.S. GAAP to $0.5 million [1996
- $46.5 million; 1995 - $27.5 million]. Cash used in investing activities
for the year ended September 30, 1997 under U.S. GAAP would be $23.8
million [1996 - $55.0 million; 1995 - $39.8 million]. Non-cash transactions
that have been eliminated from these activities include the issue of shares
on the conversion of long term debt; additions to capital assets arising
from capital lease transactions; the financing of the St. Clair Lime Co.
purchase by debt; and the issuance of shares to acquire Global Stone (UK)
Ltd.
[i] In 1998, the Company retroactively adopted the requirements under SFAS No.
128 concerning the calculation of earnings per share, which is effective
for fiscal periods ending after December 15, 1997.
[j] Under U.S. GAAP, the Company accounts for its share option plan under the
principles of Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 and related
interpretations, which in the Company's circumstances results in no
compensation expense being recorded.
18. SUBSEQUENT EVENT
On May 15, 1998, Oglebay Norton Acquisition Limited, a subsidiary of
Oglebay Norton Company, a Cleveland, Ohio-based company, announced that it
had taken up approximately 98.6% of the outstanding common shares of Global
Stone Corporation that were deposited in acceptance of its offer dated
April 24, 1998. Oglebay Norton Acquisition Limited has also sent to
non-depositing shareholders the required notice pursuant to the compulsory
acquisition provisions of the Canada Business Corporations Act to acquire
the remaining outstanding common shares of Global Stone Corporation at the
$7.80 per share offer price.

NOTES TO UNAUDITED PRO FORMA COMBINED STATEMENTS OF OPERATIONS
(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS)
The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations for the year ended
December 31, 1997 and three months ended March 31, 1998 were prepared as if
Oglebay Norton Company ("Company" or "Oglebay Norton") had acquired Global Stone
Corporation ("Global Stone") at January 1, 1997. The unaudited pro forma
combined statement of operations for the year ended December 31, 1997 should be
read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes
thereto of Oglebay Norton included in its Annual Report on (Form 10-K) for the
year ended December 31, 1997 and the audited financial statements and related
notes thereto of Global Stone for the fiscal year ended September 30, 1997,
included herewith. The unaudited pro forma combined statement of operations for
the three months ended March 31, 1998 should be read in conjunction with the
unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto of Oglebay Norton
included in its Quarterly Report on (Form 10-Q) for the three months ended March
31, 1998 and the unaudited financial statements and related notes thereto of
Global Stone for the six months ended March 31, 1998, included herein. The
unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations are not necessarily
indicative of operating results that would have been achieved had the
acquisition been consummated at the beginning of the periods presented and
should not be construed as being representative of future operations.
(a) The statements of income of Global Stone were converted to U.S. dollars
from Canadian dollars using the monthly average exchange rate in effect
the month the transaction occurred, which resulted in annual average
exchange rates approximating: US$1.00 to Cdn$1.37 for the twelve month
period ended September 30, 1997; and US$1.00 to Cdn$1.43 for the three
month period ended March 31, 1998. Global Stone's historical financial
statements were prepared in accordance with Canadian generally accepted
accounting principles ("Canadian GAAP").
(b) The unaudited pro forma combined statements of operations contain pro forma
adjustments to conform Global Stone's historical statements of income to
U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP").
(c) Other recent transactions include the acquisitions of the Colorado Silica
industrial sand operations and Port Inland limestone operations by Oglebay
in March and April 1998, respectively. Other recent transactions also
include the May 1998 asset sale of Oglebay's Engineered Materials
metallurgical treatment operations. The Engineered Materials business
segment was classified as a discontinued operation at December 31, 1997.
The sale of the Engineered Materials assets did not result in any gain or
additional loss upon disposal. These transactions did not meet the
definition of a significant subsidiary under Rule 1-02(w) of Regulation S-X
requiring separate financial statement presentation.

(d) Under Canadian GAAP, the cost of postretirement benefits is expensed
when paid. Under U.S. GAAP, these benefits are charged against income on an
accrual basis. Pension expense calculated under U.S. GAAP differs from that
calculated under Canadian GAAP primarily as a result of differences in
interest rates, discount rates and treatment of experience gains and
losses. The pro forma adjustments reflect accrued postretirement benefits,
the adjustments to pension expense and the related tax effects necessary to
conform Global Stone's historical statements of income to U.S. GAAP.
(e) Pro forma depletion expense for Global Stone was computed based on total
estimated proven and probable mineral reserves, tons of mineral reserves
mined in fiscal 1997 and the pro forma write-up ($86,141) to estimated fair
value of Global Stone's mineral reserves. Pro forma goodwill amortization
was computed based on the purchase price in excess of fair market value
($33,595) amortized over a 40-year period. The pro forma adjustments to
depletion and amortization expense are as follows:

(g) Under U.S. GAAP, the unusual items would have been classified separately
as a component of income from operations instead of as a non-operating
expense under Canadian GAAP. Under U.S. GAAP gains on the sale of assets
would have been classified separately as a component of non-operating
income instead of as a component of income from operations under Canadian
GAAP.
(h) Pro Forma Combined interest expense reflects $174,515 borrowed under the
Senior Credit Facility, with an assumed average borrowing rate
approximating 8%, and $100,000 borrowed under the Senior Subordinated
Facility, with an assumed average borrowing rate approximating 10%,
outstanding as of January 1, 1997. The borrowed funds were used to
purchase all of the outstanding common shares of Global Stone for
$172,480. The funds were also used to refinance Global Stone's short-term
bank debt of $10,835 and Senior Secured 10.625% Debentures of $37,661 (of
which $10,043 was current) and pay a debenture call premium of $3,289 due
to a change-in-control provision in the Debenture. The borrowed funds were
further used to refinance Oglebay's variable rate term loan of $19,250 (of
which $5,500 was current) and revolving credit debt of $25,000 for other
recent transactions and pay finance costs of $6,000.
(i) Income tax expense on pro forma adjustments related to Oglebay and Global
Stone was computed using effective tax rates approximating 35% and 44%,
respectively.

(g) Under Canadian GAAP, the cost of postretirement benefits is expensed when
paid. Under U.S. GAAP, these benefits are charged against income on an
accrual basis. Pension expense calculated under Canadian GAAP differs from
that calculated under U.S. GAAP primarily as a result of differences in
interest rates, discount rates and treatment of experience gains and
losses. The pro forma adjustments reflect the recording of accrued
postretirement benefits, the necessary adjustments to pension expense and
the related tax effects as of March 31, 1998.
(h) Elimination of Global Stone's stockholders' equity upon combination.
