                        AMERICAN STANDARD COMPANIES INC.
                          NOTES TO FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


Note 1.  Basis of Financial Statement Presentation

The accompanying  condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared
in  accordance  with  generally  accepted  accounting   principles  for  interim
financial  information and with the instructions for Form 10-Q and Article 10 of
Regulation  S-X.  Accordingly,  they do not include all of the  information  and
footnotes  required by generally  accepted  accounting  principles  for complete
financial statements.  In the opinion of management,  all adjustments considered
necessary for a fair  presentation  of financial  data have been  included.  The
results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily  indicative of the
results  that may be expected for the entire year.  The  condensed  consolidated
financial  statements  should  be  read in  conjunction  with  the  consolidated
financial  statements and  accompanying  notes included in the Company's  Annual
Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999.

In the fourth quarter of 1999, the Board of Directors of the Company  approved a
plan for the  sale of the  Medical  Systems  segment.  The  Company  expects  to
complete the sale in the third quarter of 2000. Accordingly,  Medical Systems is
reported as a  discontinued  operation  in the  accompanying  Unaudited  Summary
Statement of  Operations  and the  Company's  net  investment in that segment is
reported in the  accompanying  Unaudited  Summary Balance Sheet as Net assets of
discontinued  operations  held for  sale.  Financial  statements  for all  prior
periods presented have been restated to reflect these classifications.

Borrowings  under the revolving  credit  facilities of the Company's bank credit
agreement  (the "1997 Credit  Agreement")  that were  previously  classified  as
short-term debt, have been classified as long-term debt since March 31, 2000, as
the Company has the ability to refinance  such  borrowings  with  long-term debt
under the terms of the 1997 Credit Agreement.

Note 2.  Restructuring and Asset Impairment Charges

As described in Note 5 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in
the Company's  Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December 31, 1999,
in 1998 the Company  committed to restructuring  plans designed to achieve lower
product  costs and improved  efficiency.  Key elements of the plans  include the
transfer of  significant  manufacturing  capacity to locations  with lower labor
costs and the sale of certain  assets.  In  connection  therewith,  the  Company
determined that certain  long-lived  assets were impaired.  Accordingly,  in the
second half of 1998 the Company recorded charges totaling $197 million.

In 1999, after  re-evaluating  its plans, the Company recorded a net $15 million
restructuring  and asset  impairment  charge  that  reflected:  reversal  of $29
million of  unneeded  amounts  accrued  in 1998 for  certain  Plumbing  Products
facilities; accrual of additional charges of $17 million for the closure of five
Vehicle  Control  Systems  manufacturing  facilities;  accrual of $14 million to
reflect current estimates of certain other charges; and a $13 million impairment
charge related to a minority equity  investment that the Company does not expect
to recover.

Following  is a summary of the unpaid  balances of the  restructuring  and asset
impairment  accruals,  and  activity  for the six  months  ended  June 30,  2000
(dollars in millions):

The Company expects that essentially all of the $21.7 million balance as of June
30,  2000 will be  utilized  by the end of 2000.  Of the 2,260  employees  being
terminated, 1,405 had been terminated as of June 30, 2000.

Note 3.  Comprehensive Income

Total  comprehensive  income,  consisting  of net  income and  foreign  currency
translation  effects,  for the three months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999 was $65
million and $127  million,  respectively,  and for the six months ended June 30,
2000 and 1999 was $102 million and $192 million, respectively.


Note 4.  Tax Matters

As  described in Note 8 of Notes to  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  in the
Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1999, there
are pending German tax issues for the years 1984 through 1994. See "Management's
Discussion  and Analysis of Financial  Condition  and Results of  Operations  --
Liquidity and Capital Resources."


Note 5.  Earnings Per Share

The  average  number of  outstanding  shares of common  stock used in  computing
diluted  earnings  per share for the three  months  ended June 30, 2000 and 1999
included 2,497,723 and 2,676,145 average incremental shares,  respectively,  for
the assumed  exercise of stock options and vesting of  restricted  stock awards.
The  six-month  periods  ended June 30,  2000 and 1999  included  2,136,525  and
2,072,803 average incremental shares, respectively.


Note 6.  Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Standards

In 1998,  the Financial  Accounting  Standards  Board issued  Statement No. 133,
Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,  which is required
to be adopted in years beginning after June 15, 2000.  Management  believes that
the  adoption of  Statement  No. 133 will not have a  significant  effect on the
Company's results of operations or financial position.

Note 7. Supplemental Consolidating Condensed Financial Information

         All  of  the  Company's  Senior  Notes  and  the 9  1/4%  Sinking  Fund
Debentures were issued by its wholly owned  subsidiary,  American  Standard Inc.
("ASI").  American  Standard  Companies  Inc. (the "Parent  Company")  fully and
unconditionally  guarantees the payment  obligations under these securities.  In
lieu of  providing  separate  financial  statements  for ASI,  the  Company  has
included  the  accompanying   consolidating   condensed  financial  information.
Management  believes that separate financial  statements of ASI are not material
to investors. The following supplemental financial information sets forth, on an
unconsolidated basis,  statements of operations and statements of cash flows for
the six months ended June 30, 2000 and 1999,  and balance  sheets as of June 31,
2000 and December 31, 1999 for the Parent Company and ASI, and the  subsidiaries
of  the  Parent  Company  which  are  not   subsidiaries   of  ASI  (the  "Other
Subsidiaries") for 2000 only. None of the Other Subsidiaries  guarantee the debt
of ASI. On December 31, 1999 the Company  completed  an internal  reorganization
whereby  ASI  transferred  ownership  of all the  Other  Subsidiaries  and their
intellectual  property  rights to  another  wholly  owned  subsidiary,  American
Standard  International  Inc.  Prior to December 31,  1999,  there were no Other
Subsidiaries.  The equity method of accounting is used to reflect investments of
the Parent Company in ASI and Other Subsidiaries.

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

Results  of  Operations  for the  Second  Quarter  and First Six  Months of 2000
Compared with the Second Quarter and First Six Months of 1999

         The  Company  achieved  record  sales of $2,046  million  in the second
   quarter  of  2000,  an  increase  of  $135  million,  or  7%  (10%  excluding
   unfavorable  foreign  exchange  effects),  from $1,911  million in the second
   quarter  of  1999.  Sales  increased  9% for  Air  Conditioning  Systems  and
   Services, 4% for Plumbing Products and 4% for Vehicle Control Systems.

         Segment income for the second quarter of 2000 was also a record at $262
   million,  an  increase  of $27  million,  or 11% (14%  excluding  unfavorable
   foreign exchange  effects),  from $235 million in the second quarter of 1999.
   Segment income  increased 14% for Air Conditioning  Systems and Services,  9%
   for Plumbing Products and 6% for Vehicle Control Systems.

         Sales for the first half of 2000 were  $3,868  million,  an increase of
   $309 million,  or 9% (12% excluding  unfavorable  foreign exchange  effects),
   from $3,559  million in the first half of 1999.  Sales  increased 11% for Air
   Conditioning  Systems  and  Services,  8% for  Plumbing  Products  and 3% for
   Vehicle Control  Systems.  Segment income was $440 million for the first half
   of 2000,  an  increase of 14% (18%  excluding  unfavorable  foreign  exchange
   effects),  compared  with $385  million  in the first  half of 1999.  Segment
   income  increased  17% for Air  Conditioning  Systems and  Services,  13% for
   Plumbing Products and 8% for Vehicle Control Systems.

         The sales and segment income amounts  reflect  results from  continuing
   operations   only,  as  the  Medical  Systems   business  is  reported  as  a
   discontinued operation.

         Sales  of Air  Conditioning  Systems  and  Services  increased  9% (10%
   excluding  the effect of foreign  exchange) to $1,293  million for the second
   quarter  of  2000,  from  $1,188  million  for the  second  quarter  of 1999.
   Worldwide  Applied Systems sales increased 9% (11% excluding foreign exchange
   effects) due to strong performance in the U.S. commercial  equipment business
   and sales and service  operations.  U.S. sales of commercial applied products
   increased because of higher volumes,  reflecting  continued  strength in U.S.
   markets and increased  market share.  Sales  benefited  from expansion of the
   global  accounts  program,  the  acquisition of sales and service offices and
   sales of  Integrated  Comfort  Systems,  which  combine  new  high-efficiency
   chillers,  air  handlers,  terminal  products and  controls  into one system.
   Additionally,  there was  significant  improvement in the Far East outside of
   China,  solid growth in Latin America and modest growth in Europe.  Worldwide
   Unitary Systems sales increased 8% (9% excluding  foreign  exchange  effects)
   primarily from higher volumes in U.S.  residential and commercial  operations
   and a small increase in the  international  unitary  business.  U.S.  unitary
   sales  increased  primarily   reflecting  gains  in  market  share  for  both
   commercial  and  residential  products and the effects of  warmer-than-normal
   weather.  International  unitary sales  increased  principally as a result of
   volume  improvements  in  Latin  America  and the  Far  East.  Sales  for Air
   Conditioning Systems and Services for the first half of 2000 increased by 11%
   (12%  excluding  foreign  exchange  effects)  to $2,359  million  from $2,130
   million in the first half of 1999,  primarily for the same reasons explaining
   the second quarter increase.
<PAGE>

         Segment income of Air Conditioning  Systems and Services  increased 14%
   (with  little  effect from  foreign  exchange)  to $174 million in the second
   quarter of 2000 from $153  million  in the second  quarter of 1999 as margins
   improved  from  12.9% to 13.5%.  Worldwide  Applied  Systems  benefited  from
   improved volume in the U.S. and Far East (excluding China). Worldwide Unitary
   Systems  posted  strong  growth  in  the  U.S.  from  volume   increases  and
   strengthened  outside the U.S. due to cost  improvements.  Segment income for
   the  first  half of 2000  increased  17% (with  little  effect  from  foreign
   exchange)  to $268  million  from $229  million  in the  first  half of 1999,
   essentially for the reasons mentioned for the second quarter increase.

         Sales of Plumbing  Products  increased  4% (10%  excluding  unfavorable
   foreign exchange effects) to $479 million in the second quarter of 2000, from
   $459 million in the second quarter of 1999, primarily as a result of gains in
   Europe  and the  Americas.  The  European  increase  (13%  excluding  foreign
   exchange)  reflected  improving  economic  conditions and market share gains.
   Sales in the Americas increased 9% (with little effect from foreign exchange)
   due to  strong  growth  in the U.S.,  partly  offset  by a  decline  in Latin
   America.  The U.S.  sales  increase  resulted from higher  volume,  primarily
   through  expanding  retail and wholesale  channels and gains in market share.
   Sales of  Plumbing  Products  for the first  half of 2000  increased  8% (13%
   excluding  unfavorable  foreign  exchange  effects) to $939 million from $873
   million in the first half of 1999.  This increase was due  principally to the
   same factors affecting second quarter results.

         Segment income of Plumbing  Products for the second quarter of 2000 was
   $50 million,  an increase of 9% (14% excluding  unfavorable  foreign exchange
   effects)  from $46 million  for the 1999 second  quarter.  The  increase  was
   principally  attributable to volume increases and cost  improvements from the
   restructuring of European  operations as part of a low-cost sourcing program,
   the Armitage/Dolomite  acquisition and substantial volume improvements in the
   U.S. The successful  restructuring of both the Americas and European Plumbing
   businesses has lowered their cost  structures,  resulting in improving trends
   in  margins  and  profitability.  Margins  improved  from 10.0% in the second
   quarter of 1999 to 10.4% in the second  quarter of 2000.  Segment  income for
   the first  half of 2000  increased  13% (17%  excluding  unfavorable  foreign
   exchange  effects) to $90 million from $80 million in the first half of 1999.
   The increase resulted primarily for the same reasons as those responsible for
   the second quarter increase.

         Sales of Vehicle  Control  Systems for the second  quarter of 2000 were
   $274 million,  an increase of 4% (13% excluding  unfavorable foreign exchange
   effects)  from $264  million in the second  quarter of 1999,  primarily  from
   higher volume in Europe.  Unit volumes of truck and bus production  increased
   7.5% in Western Europe in the second quarter of 2000 compared with the second
   quarter of 1999.  Sales  increased  because of the  improved  market,  higher
   product  content per vehicle,  gains in market share and expanding sales into
   the non-heavy-duty truck market. Additionally, sales increased 30% in Brazil,
   primarily as a result of a 16% increase in that country's  commercial vehicle
   production,   and  sales  improved  for  the  U.S.  compressor  manufacturing
   business.  Shipments  of  anti-lock  braking  systems to the  Company's  U.S.
   braking  systems joint venture  decreased as U.S. truck  production  declined
   12%. Sales of Vehicle Control Systems for the first half of 2000 increased 3%
   (12% excluding  unfavorable  foreign  exchange  effects) to $570 million from
   $556 million in the first half of 1999,  primarily  for the reasons cited for
   the second quarter increase.

         Segment  income for Vehicle  Control  Systems for the second quarter of
   2000 increased $2 million ($6 million excluding  unfavorable foreign exchange
   effects) to $38 million from $36 million in the second quarter of 1999.  This
   primarily  reflected  higher volumes and cost  reductions in Europe.  Margins
   improved  from  13.6% in the  second  quarter  of 1999 to 13.9% in the second
   quarter of 2000.  Segment  income for Vehicle  Control  Systems for the first
   half of 2000 was $82 million,  an increase of 8% (24%  excluding  unfavorable
   foreign  exchange  effects)  from  $76  million  in the  first  half of 1999,
   principally for the same reasons cited for the second quarter increase.

   Other Summary Segment and Income Data Items

         Equity in net income of unconsolidated joint ventures was $9 million in
   the second  quarter of 2000,  the same as in the  year-earlier  quarter,  and
   increased  to $19  million in the first half of 2000 from $17  million in the
   1999 first  half.  This  reflected  growth of Air  Conditioning  Systems  and
   Services' compressor  manufacturing joint venture and the Company's financial
   services joint venture,  offset by a decrease in earnings of Vehicle  Control
   Systems' U.S.  braking systems joint venture,  as a result of the slowdown in
   U.S. heavy-duty truck production.

         Interest expense  increased by $2 million in the second quarter of 2000
   and by $5  million  in the first half of 2000  compared  to the  year-earlier
   quarter and first  half,  primarily  due to higher  average  interest  rates.
   Corporate and other expenses increased by $5 million in the second quarter of
   2000  and  by  $17  million  in  the  first  half  of  2000  compared  to the
   year-earlier  quarter and first  half.  These  increases  were mainly due to:
   higher  incentive  compensation  accruals due to  profitability  improvement;
   increased  receivables  discount  fees paid to the financial  services  joint
   venture  as a result  of higher  sales;  transition  costs due to  management
   changes;  and increased  minority  interest in income of  consolidated  joint
   ventures.

         The income tax provision for the second quarter of 2000 was $71 million
   and for the first  half of 2000 was $111  million,  or 39.75% of income  from
   continuing  operations,  compared  with  provisions  of $66  million and $101
   million,  or 41.5% of income from  continuing  operations  in the  comparable
   periods of 1999.  The  effective  income tax rate is lower in 2000  primarily
   because of an internal  reorganization of the Company's  subsidiary ownership
   that should be more tax efficient.


   Liquidity and Capital Resources

         Net cash provided by operating activities,  after cash interest paid of
   $94 million, was $123 million for the first six months of 2000, compared with
   net cash  provided  of $14  million  for the same  period  of 1999.  The $109
   million  improvement  resulted primarily from higher net income and favorable
   changes in net working capital. Accounts receivable and inventories increased
   in the first half of both years,  reflecting the normal  seasonal  pattern of
   the  air  conditioning  business  and  overall  growth  of the  Company.  The
   receivables  increase  of $177  million in the first half of 2000 was smaller
   than  the  first-half  1999  increase  primarily  because  the  average  days
   outstanding improved by four days in the 2000 period versus two days in 1999.
   The inventory increase in 2000 of $107 million was substantially  larger than
   in 1999, as turnover was four-tenths of a turn lower and reflected a decision
   to increase certain air conditioning inventories to better serve customers in
   the North  American  summer  season.  The  increase in  accounts  payable and
   accruals  reflected growth of the business and timing differences in accruals
   and payments.  The Company made capital  expenditures of $113 million for the
   first half of 2000,  including  $27  million  of  investments  in  affiliated
   companies and other  businesses.  This compared with capital  expenditures of
   $103  million in the 1999 period,  including  $26 million of  investments  in
   affiliated    companies   and   other    businesses    (but   excluding   the
   Armitage/Dolomite acquisition described below). The Company also invested $31
   million in computer  software in the first six months of 2000,  compared with
   $34 million in the 1999 period. Additionally,  in the first half of 2000, the
   Company  purchased  approximately  2.4 million shares of its common stock for
   $94  million  pursuant  to the  Company's  program,  approved by the Board of
   Directors in July 1998,  to repurchase up to $300 million of shares of common
   stock through July 8, 2001.  Purchases  under the repurchase plan are for the
   purpose of  offsetting  the  dilutive  effects of  stock-based  awards  under
   certain of the Company's benefit plans. During 2000, the Company intends to
   apply approximately one-third of its available free cash flow to stock re-
   purchases and the majority of the remainder to repayment of debt.

         On August 3, 2000, the Company announced a definitive agreement to sell
   its  DiaSorin  unit,  the largest  part of its medical  business,  to a group
   consisting  of SNIA,  a  high-tech  industrial  firm;  Interbanca,  a leading
   Italian merchant bank;  Iniziativa  Piemonte, a private equity firm; and four
   members of DiaSorin's  current  management.  The sale,  subject to regulatory
   approvals,  has been approved by the boards of all companies involved, and is
   expected  to close  in the  third  quarter  of 2000.  This  transaction  will
   complete the Company's exit from the medical business for  approximately  the
   net recoverable value established in the fourth quarter of 1999.

         In January  1997 the Company  entered  into the 1997  Credit  Agreement
   which requires no repayment of principal  prior to its expiration in 2002 and
   provides the Company with senior secured credit facilities  aggregating $1.75
   billion as follows:  (a) a $750 million U.S. dollar revolving credit facility
   and a $625 million  multi-currency  revolving credit facility (the "Revolving
   Facilities"),  and (b) a $375 million  multi-currency  periodic access credit
   facility. Up to $500 million of the Revolving Facilities may be used to issue
   letters of credit. The 1997 Credit Agreement contains  restrictive  covenants
   and other  requirements  with which the Company  believes it is  currently in
   compliance.

         In  December  1998,  the 1997  Credit  Agreement  was amended to permit
   American  Standard to issue up to an additional $500 million principal amount
   of senior or subordinated unsecured debt securities,  to reorganize ownership
   of certain  subsidiaries and intellectual  property rights,  and to lower the
   interest  coverage ratios and increase the debt coverage ratios applicable to
   the Company  beginning for periods  ending  December 31, 1998. The purpose of
   the amendment was primarily to accommodate the refinancing of $150 million of
   American  Standard's  10 7/8% senior notes due May 15, 1999 and the financing
   of  other  proposed  capital  expenditures,   including  the  acquisition  of
   Armitage/Dolomite   described  below.  In  November  1999,  the  1997  Credit
   Agreement  was amended to increase the limit on annual lease  payments and to
   obtain consent for the Company to sell its Medical Systems business.

         Borrowings under the revolving credit  facilities of the Company's 1997
   Credit  Agreement that were  previously  classified as short-term  debt, have
   been  classified  as long-term  debt since March 31, 2000, as the Company has
   the ability to refinance such  borrowings with long-term debt under the terms
   of the 1997 Credit Agreement.

          At  June  30,  2000,  the  Company  had  borrowings  of  $793  million
   outstanding under the Revolving Facilities.  There was $499 million available
   under the Revolving  Facilities  after  reduction for  borrowings and for $83
   million of letters of credit usage.  The Company's  foreign  subsidiaries had
   $79 million  available at June 30, 2000, under overdraft  facilities that can
   be withdrawn by the banks at any time. In addition,  the Company's operations
   in China have $17  million  available  under  bank  credit  facilities  after
   reduction  for  borrowings  of $18 million and letters of credit usage of $20
   million.

         On May 28, 1999,  the Company  completed the sale of the  equivalent of
   $460 million of Senior Notes,  with an average interest rate of 7.7%,  issued
   in three  series:  250 million Euro Senior  Notes due 2006;  100 million U.S.
   Dollar Senior Notes due 2009 and 60 million  Sterling  Senior Notes due 2009.
   Net  proceeds of $452  million  from the  offering  were applied to refinance
   borrowings  incurred to pay $150  million of 10 7/8% Senior Notes at maturity
   on May 15, 1999 and to refinance a substantial  portion of the purchase price
   of the  Armitage/Dolomite  acquisition described below. The May 28, 1999 sale
   of Senior Notes, which are not subject to redemption,  was made pursuant to a
   $1  billion  shelf  registration  filed  with  the  Securities  and  Exchange
   Commission in November 1998 (the "1998 Shelf Registration").  Debt securities
   sold under the 1998 Shelf  Registration are issued by American  Standard Inc.
   and  unconditionally  guaranteed  by American  Standard  Companies  Inc.  The
   Company  intends to use the net  proceeds  from any future sales of such debt
   securities under the 1998 Shelf Registration for general corporate  purposes,
   which may include  certain  investments,  acquisitions,  additions to working
   capital or capital expenditures.

         On  February  2,  1999,  the  Company  acquired  Armitage/Dolomite,   a
   manufacturer  of ceramic  sanitaryware,  brassware  and  integrated  plumbing
   systems,  for approximately  $427 million  (including fees and expenses) with
   borrowings under the Company's 1997 Credit  Agreement.  The acquired business
   consists of two  principle  businesses:  Armitage  Shanks,  a United  Kingdom
   manufacturer,  and Ceramica Dolomite, an Italian  manufacturer.  The acquired
   business  has  facilities  in the  United  Kingdom  and  Italy,  and  employs
   approximately  3,200 people.  The primary markets for its products are in the
   United Kingdom, Italy, Ireland and Germany.  Armitage/Dolomite had 1999 sales
   of $279 million  (for the eleven  months  following  the  acquisition).  This
   transaction  was  accounted  for as a purchase and the results of  operations
   have been included in the accompanying financial statements since the date of
   acquisition.  The purchase  price was allocated  based upon the fair value of
   the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.  This
   resulted in an excess of purchase price over the value of net assets acquired
   (goodwill) of $300 million which is being amortized over 40 years.

         As described in Note 8 of Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in
   the  Company's  Annual  Report on Form 10-K for the year ended  December  31,
   1999,  there are pending  German Tax issues for the years 1984 through  1994.
   There has been no change in the status of these  issues since that report was
   filed.


   Disclosure Regarding Forward Looking Statements

         Comments  in  this  Quarterly  Report  on  Form  10-Q  contain  certain
   forward-looking   statements  that  are  based  on  management's  good  faith
   expectations and belief  concerning future  developments.  Actual results may
   differ  materially  from  these  expectations  as a result  of many  factors,
   relevant  examples of which are set forth in the Company's 1999 Annual Report
   on Form 10-K and in the "Management's Discussion and Analysis" section of the
   Company's 1999 Annual Report to  Shareholders  and Quarterly  Reports on Form
   10-Q.
