3.   LONG-TERM DEBT
     --------------

     In March 1995 the Company's $15 million  U. S. long-term line of credit was
     extended to May 2, 1997.  Approximately $4.6 million of standby  letters of
     credit were outstanding  against the  line at  March 31,  1995, leaving  an
     available balance of approximately $10.4 million.

4.   LITIGATION
     ----------

     Asbestos-related claims - Personal Injury
     -----------------------------------------

     A. P. Green  is among numerous defendants  in lawsuits pending as  of March
     31,  1995 that seek  to recover compensatory,  and in  many cases, punitive
     damages for personal  injury allegedly resulting from exposure to asbestos-
     containing products manufactured, sold or installed by A. P. Green.

     A. P. Green  is a member of the Center for  Claims Resolution (the Center),
     an  organization   of  twenty   companies  (Members)   who  were   formerly
     distributors  or manufacturers of asbestos-containing products.  The Center
     administers,  evaluates,  settles, pays  and defends  all of  the asbestos-
     related personal injury lawsuits involving its Members.  Under the terms of
     the Center Agreement,  each Member's portion of the  liability payments and
     defense costs are  based upon, among other  things, the number and  type of
     claims brought  against it.   Claims activity for  each of the  years ended
     December 31, 1994 and 1993 was as follows:


                                                       1994       1993
                                                     --------   --------

     Claims filed                                     14,836     26,100

   (1) Substantially  all settlements  are  covered by  the Company's  insurance
        program.

     On January  15, 1993,  the Members were  named as defendants  in a  class
     action lawsuit brought on behalf of all persons who have been
     occupationally exposed to asbestos-containing products of the Members and
     who have unasserted

                                          -6-

<PAGE>

     claims for such  exposure (the  Class) pursuant  to  Federal Rule  of Civil
     Procedure 23(b)(3)  in  the  Federal  District  Court for  the  Eastern
     District of Pennsylvania.  At about the same time, the Center negotiated
     and filed with the Court a settlement (the Settlement) between the Members
     and the Class.

     Under the  terms  of  the  Settlement,  the  Members  have  agreed  to  pay
     compensation to  any member  of the Class  who has, according  to objective
     medical  criteria,  physical  impairment  as  a  result of  such  exposure.
     Different levels of  compensation will be  paid depending  on the type  and
     degree  of physical  impairment.  No  punitive damages  will be paid.   The
     Settlement provides, among other things, for a cap on the number  of claims
     to  be processed  each  year during  the  next  ten years  and  a range  of
     settlement values for  each disease category.  Settlement  values are based
     on  historical average  payments by  the Center  for  similar cases.   Each
     Member  will be responsible for its percentage  share of each claim payment
     (no joint  and  several  liability),  such shares  having  been  previously
     established.    Hearings  were  held  to  determine  the  fairness  of  the
     Settlement and the court  ruled that the Settlement was fair.   This ruling
     has been appealed by certain objectors.

     In a third party action filed simultaneously  with the class action (and in
     parallel  Alternate Dispute Resolution proceedings), the Members have asked
     for  a declaratory  judgment against  their respective  insurers that  such
     insurers cannot  use the  Settlement as a  defense to  their payment  under
     applicable  policies of insurance.  The  Settlement is expressly contingent
     upon  such declaratory relief.  In addition,  some Members, including A. P.
     Green, have  asked for a  declaratory judgment against their  insurers with
     whom  they have not  reached coverage  resolutions.   No decision  has been
     rendered at this date with respect to these issues.

     Under the assumption that it receives these court approvals, the Settlement
     has  provided  the  Company  with  a basis  for  estimating  its  potential
     liability  and related insurance  recovery associated with  asbestos cases.
     The  Company has  reviewed its  insurance  policies, historical  settlement
     amounts, the number of pending cases and the projected number of  claims to
     be filed pursuant to  the Settlement and the Company's share  of amounts to
     be  paid  thereunder.    The  Company has  also  reviewed  its  contractual
     liability for the payment of  deductibles under certain insurance  policies
     insuring  the E.  J.  Bartells  Company  (Bartells), a  former  subsidiary,
     against  asbestos-related personal injury claims, such policies having been
     issued when Bartells was owned  by A. P. Green.   Based upon such  reviews,
     the Company has  estimated its liability  for such cases  and claims to  be
     approximately  $134.0 million  and $135.6  million  at March  31, 1995  and
     December  31,  1994,  respectively,  with  partially  offsetting  projected
     insurance  reimbursements  of  approximately  $131.2  million  and   $132.9
     million,  respectively.     While   management  understands   the  inherent
     uncertainty in  litigation of this type and the possibility that past costs
     may not be  indicative of  future costs, management  does not believe  that
     these claims and cases will have  any additional material adverse effect on
     the  Company's financial  position or  results of  operations.   Management
     anticipates that payments  for these claims  will occur over  at least  ten
     years and can be made from normal operating cash sources.

                                          -7-

     In addition to asbestos-related personal injury claims  asserted against A.
     P.  Green, a  number of  claims have  been asserted  against Bigelow-Liptak
     Corporation (now known  as A. P. Green Services, Inc.), a subsidiary of the
     Company.  These  claims have been and  are currently being handled  by such
     subsidiary's insurance carriers.  No  claim for reimbursement of defense or
     indemnity payments has been made against the Company  or such subsidiary by
     any such carriers.


     Asbestos-related claims-Property Damage
     ---------------------------------------

     A. P. Green  is also among numerous  defendants in a property  damage class
     action suit  pending in South  Carolina.  A.  P. Green previously  has been
     dismissed  from a  number of  property  damage cases  and believes  that it
     should be dismissed from the South Carolina case based on the end uses of
     its products.   A similar suit pending in the State of Oregon involves a
     former wholly owned subsidiary of the Company and is being defended by the
     Company's insurance  carrier.  Based upon the Company's history in these
     asbestos-related property damage claims, management does not believe that
     the ultimate resolution of these matters will have a material adverse
     effect on the Company's consolidated financial position or results of
     operations.

     There  was no  assumption of  asbestos-related  liability, either  personal
     injury or property damage, in  connection with the August, 1994 acquisition
     of the refractories business of General Refractories Company and affiliated
     companies (General).

     Environmental
     -------------

     The  EPA or other  private parties  have named  the Company  or one  of its
     subsidiaries as  a  potentially responsible  party in  connection with  two
     superfund sites in  the United States.   The Company is a  de minimis party
     with  respect to  one of the  sites and  expects to arrive  at a settlement
     agreement and Consent Decree with respect  to it for an amount of not  more
     than  $10,000.   With  respect  to  the second,  involving  a  wholly owned
     subsidiary  of the  Company, there does  not appear  to be any  evidence of
     delivery to the site of hazardous material by the subsidiary.   An estimate
     has been  made of the costs to be incurred in these matters and the Company
     has recorded a reserve respecting those costs.

     Other
     -----

     A.  P. Green is  subject to  claims and  other lawsuits  that arise  in the
     ordinary course of  business, some of which may seek damages in substantial
     amounts,  including punitive or extraordinary damages.   Reserves for these
     claims  and  lawsuits are  recorded to  the extent  that losses  are deemed
     probable and are estimable.  In the opinion of  management, the disposition
     of all current  claims and lawsuits will not have a material adverse effect
     on the  consolidated financial position or  results of operations  of A. P.
     Green.

PART I.  FINANCIAL INFORMATION

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF
              OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL CONDITION

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

Total sales increased 65.0% from $37.5 million for the three months  ended March
31, 1994 to  $61.9 million for  the comparable 1995  three-month period.   Gross
profit  increased 70.9%  from $6.1 million  to $10.4 million  for the comparable
periods.  The  impact from the August  1994 General acquisition was  to increase
sales  by approximately  $17.7 million  and gross  profit by  approximately $1.9
million.

Refractory Products and Services
- --------------------------------

Refractory products and services sales were  $29.1 million and $53.0 million for
the three-month periods ended March  31, 1994 and 1995, respectively, reflecting
an increase of 82.2%.  United States refractory sales increased 83.5% from $26.0
million  to $47.6  million  for  the comparable  three-month  periods, of  which
approximately $15.8  million was due to the General acquisition.  Excluding this
acquisition impact, brick, specialties and  ceramic fiber volumes all increased,
with a  small decline in  clays and grogs, for  a net volume  increase of 23.7%.
Prices on all U.S. refractory product lines were down an average of 2.1% for the
comparable quarters.   Pricing improvements  are expected in future  quarters as
the impact of  a March  1, 1995  price increase is  more fully  realized.   U.S.
export  sales  improved    87.1%  from $2.2  million  to  $4.2  million, largely
resulting from the General acquisition.

Sales of  the  Canadian  subsidiary showed  significant  improvement  from  $2.9
million for the three-month period ended March 31,  1994 to $5.5 million for the
comparable  1995  period,  an  86.6% increase.    The  impact  from the  General
acquisition was  to increase  Canadian sales  by $2.3  million.  Excluding  this
impact, declines in specialties and pre-cast shape volumes were more than offset
by  increases  in  all  other product  lines,  resulting  in  an  overall volume
improvement of 6.0%.  Prices increased for  all Canadian product lines, with the
exception of  ceramic fiber, by  an average of  5.4%.   In the first  quarter of
1994,  a reserve  of approximately  $315,000  was established  for  the cost  of
Canadian personnel reductions made during that quarter, resulting in a 1994 pre-
tax loss  of $63,000  compared to  a pre-tax loss  of $19,000  during the  first
quarter of  1995. The 1995 results included $105,000  in interest expense on the
debt associated with acquisition of the General operation in Canada.

                                         -9-

<PAGE>

Sales  in the United  Kingdom (U.K.) increased  31.2% from $1.4  million to $1.8
million  for  the  comparable  quarter  as  the  U.K.  market  showed  signs  of
strengthening.  This sales increase resulted in  pre-tax earnings of $107,000 in
the  first quarter of  1995 compared  to a $52,000  loss in  the comparable 1994
period.  

Consolidated cost  of sales  as a percentage  of sales  increased from  83.2% to
84.1% for the three months  ended March 31, 1994  and 1995, respectively.   This
increase  was primarily  due  to  higher unfavorable  labor  and brick  breakage
variances in  the  U.S. and  increases  in  inbound freight,  raw  material  and
machinery  maintenance costs.   Cost of  sales as  a percentage of  sales at the
acquired  General plant in Canada also contributed to the increase due primarily
to negative production variances resulting from low volumes and high maintenance
expenses necessary to bring  the facility up to an appropriate  state of repair.
Refractory operating profits increased 147.7%  from $1.2 million to $3.0 million
in 1994 and 1995, respectively.

Industrial Lime
- ---------------

Industrial lime sales increased  5.8% from $8.5 million to $9.0  million for the
respective first quarters of 1994 and 1995, with all  of the increase coming out
of the  Kimballton, Virginia plant. Volumes at  both plants increased an average
of 3.9%  across all  product lines  except road  stabilization lime  at the  New
Braunfels,  Texas facility.    Average  selling prices  increased  1.8% for  the
comparable periods,  with increases coming from  all major product lines  at the
Kimballton plant, partially offset by declines in all major product lines at New
Braunfels.

The gross margins of the  Company's industrial lime operations are  sensitive to
volume changes due to the capital  intensive nature of the operations and  semi-
fixed  nature of other costs.   As a result of  the sales increase, gross profit
and operating profit increased 66.4% and 88.5%, respectively.  Also contributing
to this  improvement were reductions  in workers' compensation,  maintenance and
purchased  raw materials costs at  the New Braunfels  plant and lower processing
fuel  and depreciation  expense at  the  Kimballton plant,  partially offset  by
increased maintenance costs at Kimballton.  In addition, both facilities had net
favorable  production variances  during the  first quarter  of 1995  compared to
unfavorable  variances in  1994  resulting  from  a  weather-related  production
curtailment  at  Kimballton  and  downtime  at  New  Braunfels  related  to  the
installation of a new kiln preheater and dust collection system.

Expenses and Other Income
- -------------------------

Selling and  administrative expenses increased  33.5% from $6.0 million  for the
three-month period ended  March 31, 1994 to $8.0 million for the comparable 1995
period.   Increases in  salaries and related  costs, salaried  pensions, travel,

                                        -10-

<PAGE>

office expenses, professional fees, rent and amortization of intangibles were
all largely related to the addition  of General sales and research personnel and
intangible assets included  in  the  acquisition.   Also  contributing  to  the
increase were an increased  provision for  losses on  accounts receivable,
primarily due to the higher sales  and accounts  receivable levels, and  higher
sales and management incentive expenses.

Interest  expense increased from $263,000 in 1994 to $793,000 in 1995 due to the
additional  debt associated  with the General  acquisition.  There  were no bank
line borrowings during  the first quarter of either period.  Interest income for
the first  quarter of 1995 increased  1.6% from the  comparable 1994 three-month
period.   Other income  decreased 42.2% for  the comparable  three-month periods

primarily due to  a reduction in royalty income resulting from cancellation of a
licensing  agreement  with a  significant  Mexican  licensee  during the  fourth
quarter of 1994.  This was partially offset by higher transaction  gains on U.S.
dollar denominated  accounts at  the Canadian subsidiary  compared to  the first
quarter of  1994.  The Company and its  Canadian and U.K. subsidiaries typically
transact business  in their own  currencies and  accordingly are not  subject to
significant transaction gains and losses.

Income Taxes
- ------------

The 20.0% effective  income tax rate  in 1994 as compared  to 31.0% in  1995 was
primarily due to depletion expense at APG Lime which, at the lower 1994 earnings
level, had more of a pronounced impact on the effective income tax rate.

Accounting Changes
- ------------------

The  cumulative effect  of  adopting the  Financial  Accounting Standards  Board
Statement  No. 112, "Employers' Accounting for Postemployment Benefits," further
reduced 1994 net income by $255,000.

Equity in Net Income of Affiliates
- ----------------------------------

The Company's  share of income from  two new Colombian affiliates  acquired from
General was $240,000 in the first quarter of 1995.

     Working capital                      $13.2


Working capital increased  47.3%, or $26.1 million, from $55.2  million at March
31,  1994  to $81.3  million  at March  31,  1995, including  the  $13.2 million
obtained through  the General acquisition, while the  ratio of current assets to
current liabilities  increased from 2.0:1  to 2.1:1.  Excluding  the acquisition
impact, the increase in working capital was  primarily due to increases in trade
receivables of $5.0  million, reimbursement due on paid asbestos  claims of $8.8
million and closed plants' fixed assets held for sale (included in other current
assets)  of  $2.5 million,  partially offset  by  a reduction  in cash  and cash
equivalents of $9.0 million.  Also contributing to the working capital  increase
was  a $1.5 million  reduction in accounts  payable and $1.2  million in charges
against the accrual for plant closing costs.  

The  increase  in reimbursement  due  on  paid  asbestos claims  and  offsetting
reduction in  cash and  cash equivalents since  March 31, 1994,  as well  as the
changes in these  items since December 31,  1994, were due to  negotiations with
insurance carriers temporarily  delaying reimbursements from those carriers.   A
payment of  $6.9  million was  received from  one  carrier in  April  1995.   In
addition, that carrier has agreed to make future payments directly to the Center
for  Claims  Resolution, which  will  have  a  significant favorable  impact  on
fluctuations in the  Company's cash balances, cash requirements  and the balance
in reimbursement due on paid asbestos claims.  

The  increase  in trade  receivables, both  since  March 31,  1994 and  the $3.8
million  increase since December  31, 1994, was  primarily due  to the increased
sales level.  The $6.8 million reduction in accounts payable since  December 31,
1994 was  primarily due to a $6.5 million payment  in January 1995 to the Center
for Claims  Resolution.   The $1.8 million  reduction in other  accrued expenses
since  December 31, 1994  was due primarily  to charges against  the accrual for
plant closing costs.

Capital expenditures for the refractories  business increased by $675,000 in the
first quarter of 1995 compared to the same period  in 1994, offset by reductions
in capital expenditures  related to corporate functions and at  the lime plants.
The  refractories increase was  due to both  upgrading and  modernization of the
acquired General facilities and replacement, modernization and expansion of pre-
acquisition operations.

In March 1995, capital contributions were made by A. P. Green and INTOCAST AG to
form a joint  venture partnership, INTOGREEN  Co., which  will sell and  install
cast monolithic ladle linings to the steel industry in the United States, Canada
and Mexico.   INTOCAST AG  is a world  leader in  the development of  cast ladle
linings.  Its contribution to the  partnership is reflected on the balance sheet
as a minority interest of $110,000.
