            Notes to Condensed Financial Statements (Unaudited)


1.   Financial Statements

     The condensed financial statements included herein are unaudited.  In
     the opinion of management, these statements include all adjustments,
     consisting only of normal, recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair
     presentation of the financial position of PPG Industries, Inc. and
     subsidiaries (the Company or PPG) at March 31, 1994, and the results of
     their operations and their cash flows for the three months ended March
     31, 1994 and 1993.  These condensed financial statements should be read
     in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included
     in PPG's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31,
     1993.

     The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 1994 are
     not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full
     year.

2.   Changes in Methods of Accounting

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company adopted Statement of Financial
     Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 106, "Employers' Accounting for
     Postretirement Benefits Other Than Pensions."  This standard requires
     accrual, during the years that the employee renders the necessary
     services, of the expected cost of providing postretirement benefits to
     an employee and the employee's covered dependents.  The Company's
     previous practice was to recognize these costs as benefits were paid. 
     PPG elected to recognize immediately the cumulative effect of this
     accounting change, which resulted in an after-tax charge of
     $357.1 million (including $6.4 million for an equity affiliate) in 1993. 
     The incremental after-tax impact of accruing the cost of these
     postretirement benefits for 1993 was not material.

     The Company also adopted SFAS No. 109, "Accounting for Income Taxes,"
     effective January 1, 1993.  This standard requires an asset and
     liability approach to accounting for income taxes.  Deferred income tax
     liabilities and assets reflect the tax effects of (1) temporary
     differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for
     financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for income tax
     purposes and (2) operating loss and tax credit carryforwards.  Deferred
     income tax assets, such as benefits related to net operating loss
     carryforwards, are recognized to the extent that realization of such
     benefits is more likely than not.  Changes in enacted tax rates or laws
     result in adjustments to the recorded deferred income tax assets and
     liabilities in the period that the tax law is enacted.




                                   - 6 -

     The $90.4 million cumulative effect of this accounting change as of
     January 1, 1993, was credited to income in 1993.  The effect of the 
     accounting change on 1993 net income, exclusive of the cumulative effect
     as of January 1, 1993, was not material.  Previously, the Company
     applied the deferral method specified in Accounting Principles Board
     Opinion No. 11 to provide for deferred income taxes with respect to
     timing differences between the recognition of income and expense items
     for financial reporting purposes and income tax purposes.

     Effective January 1, 1993, the Company also adopted the provisions of
     SFAS No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits."  This
     standard requires an accrual method of recognizing the cost of
     postemployment benefits, such as disability, severance and workers'
     compensation benefits.  Since the Company previously accounted for most
     of these benefits on an accrual basis, the cumulative after-tax charge
     as of January 1, 1993, of the accounting change was only $6.1 million. 
     The incremental after-tax impact of accruing the cost of these benefits
     for 1993 was not material.

3.   Inventories

     Inventories at March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993 are detailed below.

     <FN>
     Most domestic and certain foreign inventories are valued using the last-
     in, first-out method.  If the first-in, first-out method had been used,
     inventories would have been $209.1 million and $210.1 million higher at
     March 31, 1994 and December 31, 1993, respectively.

6.   Stock Split

     On April 21, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock
     split in the form of a 100% stock distribution.  The distribution is
     payable on June 10, 1994, to shareholders of record on May 10, 1994. 
     All share and per share data have been restated to give effect to the
     stock split.

Item 2.  Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial
         Condition and Results of Operations

Performance Overview

Sales for the first quarter of 1994 and 1993 were $1.48 billion and
$1.45 billion, respectively.  Higher volumes in each of the business segments
more than offset the absence of sales in 1994 from the Biomedicals Systems
Division which is to be divested and glass businesses which were divested or
discontinued.  The unfavorable effect of translating European currencies and
lower overall prices in the Chemicals segment negatively impacted sales.

The gross profit percentage increased to 38.3% from 36.8% in the prior year's
quarter.  Contributing factors to the improvement were lower manufacturing
costs, sales mix gains, and benefits from divested and discontinued
businesses and businesses to be divested. Lower overall sales prices partly
offset these gains.

On April 21, 1994, the Board of Directors approved a two-for-one stock split
in the form of a 100% stock distribution.  The distribution is payable
June 10, 1994 to shareholders of record on May 10, 1994.  All share and per
share data have been restated to give effect to the stock split.

Net income and earnings per share for the quarter were $121.9 million and
$0.57, respectively.  In the first quarter of 1993, the Company experienced
a net loss and loss per share of $162.7 million and $0.77, respectively.  The
prior year amounts included a net charge of $272.8 million or $1.29 per share
for three accounting changes (see Note 2 to the condensed financial
statements).  Also included was an 8 cent per share gain from the sale of our
interest in an insurance company.  Current period earnings were favorably
impacted by the factors that contributed to the gross profit percentage 
improvement, higher sales volumes, and lower interest expense and
environmental remediation costs.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings and resins sales increased to $621 million from $573  million for
the first quarter of 1993.  Operating earnings for the corresponding periods
were $124 million and $100 million, respectively.  Contributing to the sales
increase were higher volumes for most of the segment's major product lines,
including sales from the January 1994 acquisition of Akzo's European original
equipment auto coatings business and slightly higher overall prices,
principally from refinish coatings.  The unfavorable effect of translating
European currencies partially offset these gains.  The increase in operating
earnings was attributable to the factors that contributed to the higher sales
and reduced manufacturing costs.  Higher overhead costs partly offset these
improvements.




                                   - 9 -
<PAGE>

Glass sales increased to $568 million in the first quarter of 1994 from
$551 million in the prior year period.  Operating income increased to
$76 million from $56 million in the corresponding prior period.  Higher
volumes in most of the segment's major businesses and higher sales prices for
North American automotive replacement and flat glass contributed to the sales
increase.  The loss of sales from divested and discontinued businesses, the
unfavorable effects of translating European currencies, lower European flat
glass volumes and reduced prices for North American automotive original and
European fiber glass reinforcement and flat glass products substantially
offset these improvements.  The increase in operating earnings was
principally the result of benefits from manufacturing efficiencies and
divested and discontinued businesses and the factors that contributed to the
sales increase.

Chemical sales increased to $288 million from $282 million in the first
quarter of 1993 while operating earnings declined to $36 million from
$43 million for the corresponding prior period.  The increase in sales is
primarily attributable to higher volumes for caustic soda and certain
chlorine derivative products, Transitions (registered trademark) optical
lenses and most specialty chemical products.  Significantly offsetting these
improvements were lower chlor-alkali prices.  The lower operating earnings
were the result of lower chlor-alkali sales prices and higher energy costs,
offset in part by the higher sales volumes.

Other Factors

The decline in interest expense was the result of lower average borrowings
and interest rates for the first quarter of 1994 as compared with the
corresponding period in 1993.

Lower other earnings and the change in other unallocated corporate
(expense)income - net were the result of the absence of the gain  from the
sale of our interest in an insurance company, which occurred in the first
quarter of 1993.

The increase in accounts receivable is principally the result of seasonally
higher sales in March 1994 as compared with those in December 1993 as well as
a seasonal extension of extended credit terms to customers.

Higher short-term borrowings and obligations under capital leases as compared
with such borrowings as of December 31, 1993 were principally the result of
financing the seasonal increase in working capital and the completion of a
stock repurchase program.

Item 4.   Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders

At the Registrant's Annual Meeting of Shareholders held on April 21, 1994
(the "Annual Meeting"), the shareholders voted on the following matters with
the results shown below.  There were no broker nonvotes with respect to any
of these matters.

1.   On the matter of the election of four directors to serve for the terms
     indicated in the proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting, the
     vote was as follows:

          Nominees                 Votes For            Votes Withheld
     Jerry E. Dempsey              85,477,148                827,273
     Stanley C. Gault              83,293,839              3,010,582
     Steven C. Mason               85,498,743                805,678
     David R. Whitwam              83,327,239              2,977,182

     Each of the nominees was therefore elected a director to serve for the
     terms indicated in the proxy statement relating to the Annual Meeting.

2.   On the matter of the election of Deloitte & Touche as auditors for the
     Registrant for the year 1994, the vote was as follows:

     Therefore, Deloitte & Touche were elected auditors for the Registrant
     for 1994.

NOTES:

All per share data and numbers of shares have been restated to reflect the
effects of the two-for-one stock split in the form of a 100% stock
distribution which is payable June 10, 1994.

The common stock equivalents consist of the shares reserved for issuance
under PPG's stock option plan and deferred under PPG's incentive
compensation, management award, earnings growth and directors' retirement
plans.

The fully diluted (loss) earnings per share calculation is submitted in
accordance with Regulation S-K item 601(b)(11) although not required by
footnote 2 to paragraph 14 of APB Opinion No. 15 because it results in
dilution of less than three percent.

All amounts are in millions except per share data.
