5.  Commitments and Contingent Liabilities
    --------------------------------------

     PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and
     potential, including some which it has asserted against others, in which
     substantial money damages are sought.  PPG's lawsuits and claims against
     others include claims against insurers and other third parties with respect
     to actual and contingent losses related to environmental matters.
     Management believes that the outcome of all lawsuits and claims involving
     PPG, in the aggregate, will not have a material effect on PPG's
     consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

     It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when
     it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss
     can be reasonably estimated.  Reserves for environmental contingencies are
     exclusive of claims against third parties and are not discounted.  As of
     March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, PPG had reserves for environmental
     contingencies totaling $91 million. Pre-tax charges against income for
     environmental remediation costs for the three months ended March 31, 1997
     and 1996 were $7 million in each period.  Cash outlays related to such
     charges aggregated $7 million and $9 million for the three months ended
     March 31, 1997 and 1996, respectively.

     Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental
     contingencies, which will occur over an extended period of time, will not
     result in future annual charges against income that are significantly
     greater than those recorded in recent years.  It is possible, however, that
     technological, regulatory and

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
     enforcement developments, the results of environmental studies and other
     factors could alter this expectation. In management's opinion, the Company
     operates in an environmentally sound manner and the outcome of the
     Company's environmental contingencies will not have a material effect on
     PPG's financial position or liquidity.

     In addition to the amounts currently reserved, the Company may be subject
     to loss contingencies related to environmental matters estimated to be as
     much as $200 million to $400 million, which range is unchanged from
     December 31, 1996. Such unreserved losses are reasonably possible but are
     not currently considered to be probable of occurrence.  The Company's
     environmental contingencies are expected to be resolved over an extended
     period of time.  Although the unreserved exposure to future loss relates to
     all sites, a significant portion of such exposure involves three operating
     plant sites and one closed plant site.  Initial remedial actions are
     occurring at these sites.  Studies to determine the nature of the
     contamination are reaching completion and the need for additional remedial
     actions, if any, is presently being evaluated.  The loss contingencies
     related to the remaining portion of such unreserved exposure include
     significant unresolved issues such as the nature and extent of
     contamination, if any, at sites and the methods that may have to be
     employed should remediation be required.  With respect to certain waste
     sites, the financial condition of any other potentially responsible parties
     also contributes to the uncertainty of estimating PPG's final costs.
     Although contributors of waste to sites involving other potentially
     responsible parties may face governmental agency assertions of joint and
     several liability, in general, final allocations of costs are made based on
     the relative contributions of wastes to such sites.  PPG is generally not a
     major contributor to such sites.  The impact of evolving programs, such as
     natural resource damage claims, industrial site reuse initiatives and state
     voluntary remediation programs, also adds to the present uncertainties with
     regard to the ultimate resolution of this unreserved exposure to future
     loss.  Although insurers and other third parties may cover a portion of
     these costs, to the extent they are incurred, any potential recovery is not
     included in this unreserved exposure to future loss.

     The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental
     contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex,
     ongoing and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if
     necessary, of such environmental contingencies.


6.   Long-term Debt
     --------------

     On February 21, 1997, the Company issued $100 million of non-redeemable 6-
     1/4% notes due February 15, 2002 and $100 million of redeemable 6-7/8%
     notes due February 15, 2012.

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

Performance Overview

During the first quarter of 1997, sales increased to $1.78 billion compared to
$1.75 billion in the first quarter of 1996. Sales increased as a result of
improved volumes in each of our business segments combined with the effect of
several minor acquisitions in our coatings and resins segment.  These
improvements were partially offset by lower sales prices in our glass segment,
particularly in Europe, lower sales prices for caustic soda products in our
chemicals segment, and the unfavorable effects of foreign currency translation
in both the coatings and resins and glass segments.

The gross profit percentage decreased slightly to 38.8% compared to 39.0% in the
prior year's quarter.  The benefits realized from improved manufacturing
efficiencies within the glass and chemicals segments, slightly higher sales
prices and lower raw material costs in our coatings and resins segment, and
favorable sales mix changes in our three segments were more than offset by the
negative effects of lower sales prices and inflation within the glass and
chemicals segments.

Net income and earnings per share for the first quarter of 1997 were $166.0
million and $0.91, respectively, compared to net income and earnings per share
of $172.3 million and $0.90, respectively, for the first quarter of 1996.  The
decrease in net income in the current quarter is attributable to the same
factors that contributed to the gross profit percentage decrease described
above, higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a result of our
growth initiatives and increased advertising costs, increased interest costs due
to higher outstanding indebtedness, and higher other charges.  Partially
offsetting these negative factors were higher overall sales volumes and lower
income tax expense.  Reduced average shares outstanding, due to repurchases of
PPG's common stock by the Company, favorably impacted earnings per share in the
current quarter.

Performance of Business Segments

Coatings and resins sales increased to $713 million in the first quarter of 1997
compared to $692 million in the same quarter of 1996.  Sales increased due to
the impact of volume gains for industrial coatings and automotive refinish
products in both North America and Europe, improved volumes for automotive
original coatings products in North America, improved sales prices for
automotive refinish and industrial products in North America, and sales from
several minor acquisitions.  These improvements were partially mitigated by the
unfavorable effects of foreign currency translation and lower volumes
experienced in the North American architectural coatings business.  Operating
income increased to $124 million from $115 million when comparing the first
quarter of 1997 and 1996.  The improvement in operating income was due to the
same factors that contributed to the sales increase and lower raw material
costs, principally in Europe.  Partially offsetting these positive factors were
higher overhead costs due principally to growth initiatives in South America and
Asia and the negative effects of inflation.

Glass sales decreased to $659 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared to
$666 million in the first quarter of 1996.  Volume increases for our North
American automotive original glass and fiber glass products, worldwide flat
glass products, and aircraft products were more than offset by lower selling
prices for our European and North American fiber glass and flat glass products,
the unfavorable effects of foreign currency translation, and lower North
American automotive replacement glass volumes.  Operating income decreased to

                                      -8-
<PAGE>
 
$89 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared to $103 million in the prior
year's quarter. The decline in operating income was due to the same factors that
contributed to the lower sales levels, unfavorable sales mix changes in our
automotive original glass and fiber glass businesses, and the negative effects
of inflation.  Improved manufacturing efficiencies and slightly reduced overhead
costs only partially offset these unfavorable factors.

Chemicals sales increased to $405 million in the first quarter of 1997 compared
to $391 million in the first quarter of 1996 principally due to volume increases
in the specialty chemicals business, particularly for Transitions optical lenses
and silica products, volume gains for chlorine, caustic soda, and solvents, and
higher selling prices for chlorine and vinyl chloride monomer.  Lower selling
prices for caustic soda partially offset these favorable factors.  Operating
income decreased slightly to $89 million in the current quarter versus $91
million in the comparable quarter of the prior year.  The favorable effects of
increased volumes in the specialty chemicals and chlor-alkali businesses and
improved manufacturing efficiencies were more than offset by the decline in
sales prices for caustic soda, the negative effects of inflation, particularly
on ethylene and energy costs, and slightly higher environmental expenses.
Increased advertising and selling expenses for Transitions optical lenses in the
current quarter also impacted operating income.

Other Factors

The reduction in income tax expense in the current quarter is the result of
lower pre-tax earnings as the effective income tax rate remained at 38% in each
of the periods.  Income taxes payable experienced an increase due to the timing
of estimated tax payments.

The increase in long-term debt in the current quarter results from the issuance
of $100 million of non-redeemable 6-1/4% notes due February 15, 2002 and $100
million of redeemable 6-7/8% notes due February 15, 2012.  The proceeds from the
issuance of the notes were used for general corporate purposes, including the
repayment of commercial paper.

Accounting Standards

During the first quarter of 1997, the Company adopted the provisions of
Statement of Position (SOP) No. 96-1, "Environmental Remediation Liabilities."
The adoption of SOP No. 96-1 did not have a material impact on the Company's
financial position or results of operations in the quarter.  Further, the
adoption of SOP No. 96-1 did not affect the Company's cash flow.

In February 1997, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of
Financial Accounting Standards No. 128, "Earnings per Share."  The impact on the
Company's reported earnings per share of adopting this new standard will not be
material.

Commitments and Contingent Liabilities, including Environmental Matters

PPG is involved in a number of lawsuits and claims, both actual and potential,
including some which it has asserted against others, in which substantial money
damages are sought.  PPG's lawsuits and claims against others include claims
against insurers and other third parties with respect to actual and contingent
losses related to environmental matters. Management believes that the outcome of
all lawsuits and claims involving PPG, in the aggregate, will not have a
material effect on PPG's consolidated financial position, results of operations
or liquidity.

It is PPG's policy to accrue expenses for environmental contingencies when it is
probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be
reasonably estimated. Reserves for environmental contingencies are exclusive of
claims against third parties and are not discounted.  As of March 31, 1997 and
December 31, 1996, PPG had reserves for environmental contingencies totaling $91

the three months ended March 31, 1997 and 1996 were $7 million in each period.
Cash outlays related to such charges aggregated $7 million and $9 million for

Management anticipates that the resolution of the Company's environmental
contingencies, which will occur over an extended period of time, will not result
in future annual charges against income that are significantly greater than

unreserved exposure to future loss.

The Company's assessment of the potential impact of these environmental
contingencies is subject to considerable uncertainty due to the complex, ongoing
and evolving process of investigation and remediation, if necessary, of such
environmental contingencies.

Foreign Currency, Interest Rate and Commodity Price Risk

As a multinational company, PPG manages its transaction exposure to foreign
currency risk to minimize the volatility of cash flows caused by currency
fluctuations.  The Company manages it foreign currency transaction exposures
principally through the purchase of

                                      -10-
<PAGE>
 
forward and option contracts. It does not hedge its exposure to translation
gains and losses; however, by borrowing in local currencies it reduces such
exposure. The fair value of the forward and option contracts purchased and
outstanding as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, was not material.

The Company manages its interest rate risk in order to balance its exposure
between fixed and variable rates while attempting to minimize its interest
costs.  PPG principally manages its interest rate risk by retiring and issuing
debt from time to time.  To a limited extent, PPG manages its interest rate risk
through the purchase of interest rate swaps.  As of March 31, 1997 and December
31, 1996, the notional principal amount and fair value of interest rate swaps
held were not material.

The Company also uses commodity swap contracts to reduce its exposure to
fluctuations in prices for natural gas.  The fair value of such swap contracts
purchased and outstanding as of March 31, 1997 and December 31, 1996, was not
material.

PPG's policies do not permit active trading of, or speculation in, derivative
instruments.

4.   Awards

     Awards under the Plan may be made in any of the following forms (or any
combination thereof):  (a) Restricted Stock; (b) Incentive Options; (c)
Nonqualified Options; and (d) Stock Appreciation Rights.

5.   Options

     (a) Options to purchase a specified number of shares of Common Stock at a
specified price may be granted from time to time to those Eligible Persons who
have the ability to make a contribution to the growth and profitability of the
Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  Options granted hereunder may be Incentive
Options or Nonqualified Options.

     (b) The aggregate Fair Market Value (determined as of the time an Incentive
Option is granted) of the Common Stock for which an Eligible Person may be
granted Incentive Options in the calendar year of such grant (under all plans of
the Company or its parent or subsidiary corporations, or a predecessor
corporation of any such corporation, all within the meaning of Section 422 of
the Code) shall not exceed $100,000 plus any unused limit carryover to such year
or such other maximum as may be specified in the Code.  No Incentive Option will
be transferable except by will or by the operation of the laws of descent and
distribution.

     (c) The grant of an Option shall be evidenced by a written Award Agreement
executed by the Company and the Optionee, specifying the number of shares of
Common Stock subject to the Option, the Option Price and the Option Expiration
Date and may contain other provisions, not inconsistent herewith.

     (d) The Option Price of each Option shall be as determined by the Board or
the Committee but in no event shall be less than the Fair Market Value of a
share of Common Stock on the Date of Grant.  The Option Price may be paid in
full in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of both, as
the Board or the Committee may specify.

     (e) Options may be exercised at such times and in such manner as shall be
prescribed by the Board or the Committee, except that no Option shall be
exercisable under any circumstances more than ten (10) years from the Date of
Grant.

     (f) The Board or the Committee may specify, at the time of grant or, with
respect to Nonqualified Options, at or after the time of grant, that an Optionee
shall be granted a Nonqualified Option (a "Restored Option") in the event that
(i) such Optionee exercises

                                      -4-
<PAGE>
 
all or part of an Option (an "Original Option") by surrendering (or certifying
ownership of) already owned shares of Common Stock in full or partial payment of
the Option Price under such Original Option and/or (ii) such Optionee surrenders
shares of Common Stock or causes shares of Common Stock to be withheld to pay
withholding taxes in connection with the exercise of such Original Option. All
Restored Options are subject to the availability of shares of Common Stock under
the Plan at the time of such exercise. A Restored Option shall cover a number of
shares of Common Stock not greater than the number of shares of Common Stock
surrendered (or to which ownership has been certified) in payment of the Option
Price under such Original Option and/or used to pay withholding taxes in
connection with the exercise of such Original Option. Each Restored Option shall
have an Option Price equal to the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock on the
Date of Grant of the Restored Option and shall expire on the Option Expiration
Date of the Original Option or such earlier specific date as the Original Option
will expire provided such earlier date has been established on the Date of Grant
of the Restored Option. The Date of Grant of a Restored Option shall be the date
of exercise of the Original Option. A Restored Option shall be exercisable at
any time and from time to time from or after the Date of Grant of the Restored
Option (or, as the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion shall specify
in the Award Agreement for the Restored Option). An Award Agreement for a
Restored Option shall contain such other terms and conditions, which may include
a restriction on the transferability of the Common Stock received upon the
exercise of the Original Option, as the Board or the Committee in its sole
discretion shall deem desirable and which may be set forth in rules or
regulations adopted by the Board or the Committee or in the Award Agreement
evidencing the Restored Option. Successive Restored Options may be granted to
the extent and upon such terms and conditions consistent with this Section 5(f)
as the Board or the Committee in its sole discretion shall specify.

6.   Stock Appreciation Rights

     (a) The Board or the Committee may grant Stock Appreciation Rights with
respect to all or any of the shares of Common Stock subject to an Option.  Stock
Appreciation Rights with respect to an Incentive Option may be granted only on
the Date of Grant of the related Option.  Stock Appreciation Rights with respect
to a Nonqualified Option may be granted either on the Date of Grant of the
related Option or at any time thereafter during the Option Term.

     (b) Stock Appreciation Rights  shall entitle the Optionee, upon exercise,
to receive a payment equal to the amount by which the value of a share of Common
Stock exceeds the Option Price, multiplied by the number of shares with respect
to which Stock Appreciation Rights are exercised.  Such value shall be the Fair
Market Value of a share of Common Stock on the date of exercise or, in the
discretion of the Board or the

                                      -5-
<PAGE>
 
Committee, the average of the Fair Market Values of a share of Common Stock over
such period as the Board or the Committee may specify. Such payment may be made
in the form of cash, shares of Common Stock or a combination of both, as the
Board or the Committee may specify.

     (c) Stock Appreciation Rights may be exercised in such manner and at such
times as may be prescribed by the Board or the Committee, but only to the extent
the related Option is exercisable.  To the extent Stock Appreciation Rights are
exercised, the related Option shall be deemed to have been exercised.

7.   Restricted Stock

     Restricted Stock may be awarded to any Eligible Person.  An Award of
Restricted Stock may set forth such terms and conditions, including, but not
limited to, forfeiture and vesting provisions and restrictions against sale,
assignment, transfer or other disposition as the Board or the Committee may
determine.  Restricted Stock shall be duly issued and transferred by the Company
on such dates as the Award Grantor may determine, and a certificate for such
Restricted Stock shall be issued to each Participant to whom an award is made.
The Participant shall thereupon become a stockholder of the Company with respect
to such Restricted Stock, and shall be entitled to vote and to receive the
dividends on such stock; provided, however, that:  (1) stock certificates for
Restricted Stock shall be imprinted with a legend to the effect that the stock
represented thereby may not be sold, exchanged, transferred, pledged,
hypothecated or otherwise disposed of except in accordance with the terms of the
Plan, and each transfer agent for the Common Stock shall be instructed to such
effect; and (2) upon the date specified in the grant as the "Award Maturity
Date", unless cancelled earlier by the Board or the Committee, the restrictions
imposed upon the Restricted Stock shall lapse, and the Participant shall be
fully vested in the award.

8.   Number of Shares Available for Issuance and Subject to Awards

     (a) From and after April 17, 1997, the maximum number of shares of Common
Stock which may be issued under the Plan shall be 18 Million and the maximum
number of shares of Common Stock as to which Awards may be granted shall be 10
Million.  Any shares of Common Stock subject to Awards that are forfeited or
unexercised, to the extent Options remain unexercised at the expiration or
termination thereof or Restricted Stock is forfeited prior to the Award Maturity
Date, may be subject to the grant of further Awards under the Plan.  In
addition, shares of Common Stock that are surrendered (or to which ownership has
been certified) by Participants as full or partial payment to the Company of the
purchase price of shares being acquired through the exercise of an option
granted under this Plan and any shares surrendered by the Participant or
withheld by the Company

                                      -6-
<PAGE>
 
to pay withholding taxes in connection with the exercise of an Option shall also
be available for issuance and for the grant of Awards under the Plan. The number
of shares which may be issued under the Plan and as to which Options may be
granted shall be further subject to adjustment in accordance with Section 12.

     (b) In no event, except as subject to adjustment as provided in Section 12,
shall more than two hundred fifty thousand (250,000) shares of Common Stock be
cumulatively available for issuance as Restricted Stock under the Plan.

     (c) The Common Stock to be issued under the Plan may be either authorized
but unissued shares or issued shares acquired by the Company and held in its
treasury.

9.   Government and Other Regulations

     The obligation of the Company to issue or transfer and deliver shares for
Options exercised under the Plan shall be subject to (1) the effectiveness of a
registration statement under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, with
respect to such issue or transfer, if deemed necessary or appropriate by counsel
for the Company; (2) the condition that the shares of Common Stock authorized to
be issued hereunder shall have been listed (or authorized for listing upon
official notice of issuance) upon each stock exchange on which outstanding
shares of Common Stock may then be listed; and (3) all other applicable laws,
regulations, rules and orders which shall then be in effect.

10.  Limit on Awards

     More than one Award may be granted to a Participant, but except as subject
to adjustment as provided in Section 12 the aggregate number of shares of Common
Stock subject to Awards granted to any Participant after April 17, 1997 may not
exceed two million (2,000,000) shares.

11.  No Right to Employment

     Neither the existence of the Plan nor the grant of any Award pursuant to
the Plan shall create in any Participant or Eligible Person the right to
continue to be employed by or to continue as a Director of the Company or a
Subsidiary.

12.  Adjustments Upon Changes in Capitalization

     In the event of any change in the number of outstanding shares of Common
Stock by reason of any stock dividend, stock split or similar change, a
corresponding change shall be made in the numbers, and Option Prices, of shares
subject to outstanding Awards,

                                      -7-
<PAGE>
 
and in the maximum number of shares which then remain available for issuance,
and in the number of shares of Restricted Stock which then remain available for
issuance under the Plan and the limits as to Awards to individual Eligible
Persons. In the event of any change in the outstanding shares of Common Stock,
or in the number thereof, by reason of any merger, consolidation, combination,
sale of assets, exchange of shares, recapitalization, reorganization, spin-off
or similar change, the Board or the Committee may make such changes in the
shares, and in the numbers or Option Prices of shares, subject to outstanding
Awards, and in the maximum number of shares which may be issued under the Plan,
and in the number of shares of Restricted Stock which may have been issued, as
the Board or the Committee may deem to be equitable. No such change, without the
consent of a Participant may adversely affect the rights of such Participant
with respect to an Award previously granted, and any such change shall be final,
conclusive and binding on all persons, including the Company, its shareholders
and Participants.

13.  Amendment and Termination

     The Board may amend, suspend or terminate the Plan, in whole or in part, at
any time, but no amendment may, without shareholder approval, (1) increase the
maximum number of shares which may be issued and for which Awards may be granted
under the Plan, either in the aggregate or to any individual Participant; (2)
change the manner of determining the minimum Option Price, other than to change
the manner of determining the Fair Market Value of the Common Stock to conform
to any then-applicable provision of the Code; (3) extend the date upon which the
Plan shall terminate; or (4) increase the maximum period during which Options
may be exercised hereunder.  The Plan shall terminate on, and no Award may be
granted after, December 31, 2002, or on such earlier date as may be determined
by the Board.  No amendment, suspension or termination of the Plan may affect
adversely, without the consent of the Participant, the rights of such
Participant with respect to an Award previously granted.

14.  Effective Date

     Subject to its approval by the shareholders of the Company, the Plan shall
be effective as of April 17, 1997.

                                      -8-

NOTES:

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, and earnings growth plans.

The fully diluted earnings per share calculations are submitted in accordance
with Regulation S-K, Item 601(b)(11) although not required by footnote 2 to
paragraph 14 of APB Opinion 15 because they result in dilution of less than
three percent.

All amounts are in millions except per share data.
