                 THE GENLYTE GROUP INCORPORATED AND SUBSIDIARIES
               NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
                            AS OF SEPTEMBER 28, 1996
                                   (Unaudited)

1.   Basis of Presentation

     The financial information included is unaudited; however, such information
     reflects all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring
     adjustments; also, see Note 2) which are, in the opinion of management,
     necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim periods.

     The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the
     results to be expected for the full year.

2.   During the quarter, the Company changed its method of accounting for
     certain inventories from the last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method to the
     first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. This change, adopted through the
     retroactive restatement of all prior period financial statements, was made
     for the following reasons: (1) it will improve the measurement of operating
     results in light of reduced inflation rates; (2) it will enhance the
     comparability of the Company's financial statements by changing to the
     predominant method utilized in the industry; and (3) the change to FIFO
     will allow the Company to reduce the costs incurred in administering the
     current LIFO system and avoid the expenditure of future costs to design and
     implement a LIFO cost accounting system in connection with the current
     modification and upgrade of the Company's management information system.
     The effects of this accounting change had no impact on previously reported
     1996 results. The effects on results previously reported in 1995 are as
     follows:

Management's Discussion and Analysis

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS:

Comparison of Third Quarter 1996 to Third quarter 1995

Genlyte's net sales for the third quarter of 1996 were $116.0 million, a $3.1
million, or 2.8 percent increase from the third quarter of 1995. Net income
increased $1.4 million from the third quarter of 1995 to $3.4 million and
earnings per share increased 62.5 percent from $.16 to $.26.

Gross profit for the third quarter of 1996 when compared to the third quarter of
1995 increased to 33.9 percent of sales from 30.0 percent of sales as the
company improved its product mix and continued to realize the benefits of its
facility optimization plan. Selling and administrative expenses increased during
the third quarter of 1996 to 27.6 percent of sales, up from 25.0 percent of
sales for the comparable period in 1995. This increase primarily resulted from
relocation expenditures incurred as part of the facility optimization plan,
selling expenditures associated with new product introduction and service
provisioning and additional reserves for potential losses related to certain
accounts receivable.

Operating profit increased in the third quarter of 1996 to $7.4 million, a 31.6
percent improvement from the third quarter of 1995. The improvement in operating
profit was attributable to the improved product mix, principally in the
commercial and outdoor divisions, and an intense focus on costs in each of the
divisions. A significant element of this cost focus is the facility optimization
plan which includes the negotiation of a partial lease termination of the
Compton, CA manufacturing facility, the sale of the Tijuana, Mexico property,
the relocation of Corporate headquarters from a leased facility to an owned
facility and the termination of a long-term lease in Edison, NJ.

Interest expense amounted to $1.4 million, representing a decrease of $0.6
million, or 31.2 percent, over the comparable quarter of 1995. This decrease was
attributable to lower average borrowings.

The effective tax rate was approximately 43.0 percent for the first three
quarters of 1996 and 1995.

Comparison of First Nine Months 1996 to First Nine Months 1995

During the first nine months of 1996, Genlyte's net sales were $337.1 million,
an increase of 0.9 percent compared to $334.1 million during the first nine
months of 1995. Net income increased 57.4 percent to $8.5 million from $5.4
million in 1995 and earnings per share increased 54.8 percent from $.42 to $.65,
The second half of 1996 is beginning to reflect the benefits of the completed
expansion of Genlyte's Camargo, Mexico facility, where an array of products for
all of its divisions are manufactured at relatively lower cost. Genlyte expanded
production in Camargo in the third quarter. In addition, the Genlyte Technical
Center, located at the Lightolier Fall River facility, was completed. This
state-of-the-art facility showcases products from all Genlyte divisions and
enables our sales professionals to show our customers the full capabilities of
Genlyte's lighting applications and total lighting solutions.

Gross profit for the first nine months of 1996 was 33.3 percent of sales,
compared to 29.9 percent of sales from the comparable period reflecting a
continual reduction in excess capacity and improved product mix. Selling and
administrative expenses for the first nine months of 1996 were 27.6 percent of
sales as compared to 25.2 percent during the first nine months of 1995. This
increase is primarily attributable to relocation expenditures in connection with
facility optimization, costs incurred to terminate certain lease obligations and
additional reserves for potential losses related to certain accounts receivable.


                                        6

<PAGE>

Operating profit increased in the first nine months of 1996 to $19.3 million, a
23.1 percent improvement from the comparable period of 1995. Most of the
divisions' performances exceeded 1995 due to an improved product mix and a
favorable impact of the facility optimization plan.

Interest expense decreased to $4.5 million from $6.2 million for the comparable
period of 1995. The decrease was due to lower average borrowings.

The effective tax rate was approximately 43.0 percent for the first three
quarters of 1996 and 1995.

Financial Condition

Working capital for the end of third quarter of 1996 was 18.4 percent of sales
compared to 21.6 percent for the end of third quarter of 1995 primarily due to
reduced inventory levels and enhanced cash flow management. Days sales
outstanding has remained relatively constant.

Long-term debt has decreased approximately 10% ($6.0 million) since year end.
Year-to-date net cash generation continues to outpace last year's generation
which resulted, over the entire year, in significant liquidation of long-term
debt.

The company believes that currently available cash, borrowing facilities, and
its ability to increase its credit line if needed, combined with internally
generated funds should be sufficient to fund capital expenditures as well as any
increase in working capital that would be required to accommodate a higher level
of business activity.

PART II   OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.   Legal Proceedings

          Genlyte has been named as one of a number of corporate and individual
          defendants in an adversary proceeding filed on June 8, 1995, arising
          out of the Chapter 11 bankruptcy filing of Keene Corporation
          ("Keene"). Except for the last count, as discussed below, the claims
          and causes of action are substantially the same as were brought
          against Genlyte in the U.S. District Courts in New York in August
          1993, which cases have been permanently enjoined from proceeding as a
          result of Keene's reorganization plan. The new complaint is being
          prosecuted by the Creditors' Trust created for the benefit of Keene's
          creditors (the "Trust"), seeking from the defendants, collectively,
          damages in excess of $700 million, rescission of certain asset sale
          and stock transactions and other relief. With respect to Genlyte, the
          complaint principally maintains that certain lighting assets of Keene
          were sold to a predecessor of Genlyte in 1984 at less than fair value,
          while both Keene and Genlyte were wholly-owned subsidiaries of Bairnco
          Corporation. The complaint also challenges Bairnco's spin-off of
          Genlyte in August 1988. Other allegations are that Genlyte, as well as
          the other corporate defendants, are liable as corporate successors to
          Keene. The complaint fails to specify the amount of damages sought
          against Genlyte. The complaint also alleges a violation of the
          Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act.

          Following confirmation of the Keene reorganization plan, the parties
          have moved to withdraw the case from the bankruptcy court to the
          Southern District of New York Federal District Court. No answer or
          other pleading shall be due until thirty (30) days following
          withdrawal of the case.

          Genlyte believes that it has meritorious defenses to the adversary
          proceeding and will defend said action vigorously.

Re: Form 10-Q Report for the quarter ended           New York, NY 10105-0032
    September 28, 1996


Gentlemen:

This letter is written to meet the requirements of Regulation S-K calling for a
letter from a registrant's independent accountants whenever there has been a
change in accounting principle or practice.

We have been informed that, as of July 1, 1996, the Company changed from the
last-in, first-out ("LIFO") method of accounting for certain inventories to the
first-in, first-out ("FIFO") method. According to the management of the Company,
this change was made for the following reasons: (1) it will improve the
measurement of operating results in light of reduced inflation rates; (2) it
will enhance the comparability of the Company's financial statements by changing
to the predominant method utilized in the industry; and (3) the change to FIFO
will allow the Company to reduce the costs incurred in administering the current
LIFO system and avoid the expenditure of future costs to design and implement a
LIFO cost accounting system in connection with the current modification and
upgrade of the Company's management information system.

A complete coordinated set of financial and reporting standards for determining
the preferability of accounting principles among acceptable alternative
principles has not been established by the accounting profession. Thus, we
cannot make an objective determination of whether the change in accounting
described in the preceding paragraph is to a preferable method. However, we have
reviewed the pertinent factors, including those related to financial reporting,
in this particular case on a subjective basis, and our opinion stated below is
based on our determination made in this manner.

We are of the opinion that the Company's change in method of accounting is to an
acceptable alternative method of accounting, which, based upon the reasons
stated for the change and our discussions with you, is also preferable under the
circumstances in this particular case. In arriving at this opinion, we have
relied on the business judgment and business planning of your management.

We have not audited the application of this change to the financial statements
of any period subsequent to December 31, 1995. Further, we have not examined and
do not express any opinion with respect to your financial statements for the
nine months ended September 28, 1996.

Very truly yours,



/s/ Arthur Andersen LLP
